Gaming laptops are convenient desktop alternatives, but they don’t always come cheap. Luckily, there are several affordable picks out there that can still run everything you want them to, and with gusto — bonus points when they’re on sale.
Case in point: Right now, Best Buy has the Asus 14-inch ROG Zephyrus Gaming Laptop(opens in a new tab) (AMD Ryzen 9, Radeon RX 6700S, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) on sale for just $1,099.99, which is cheaper than Amazon’s documented lowest price ever, as of Dec. 20. That’s $550 off its usual price of $1,649.99, and a savings of 33%.
This 14-inch gaming laptop is a high-end option that’s still thin and lightweight enough to make sense for on-the-go gaming. Its AMD CPU and GPU combo pack a capable punch for gaming in 1080p and 1440p, though you’ll need to sacrifice fidelity at 1440p to achieve a steady 60fps when it comes to more graphics-intensive titles. Its 120Hz QHD display’s quick response time ensures a clear and smooth image, with VRR support to help reduce screen tearing.
It comes with a customizable RGB keyboard that feels comfortable whether you’re only using the WASD keys or typing (from personal experience), and the touchpad feels better than many other gaming laptops at this price point. Plus, you get a 1TB SSD to download a plethora of games from Steam so you don’t have to only keep one or two on the laptop at a time.
If you want to game on the go or just need a desktop replacement that can handle it all, this is an excellent option, especially at this price.
