Mashable Deals
Shipping quirks aside, this laptop has some pretty impressive specs. It has an Intel Core 7 240H processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. Reviewers note that while the GPU’s power is constrained a bit to keep the cost down and the thermals in check, it still handles demanding new titles well on high settings and outperforms similarly priced RTX 5060 models.
You’ll also get a 16-inch WUXGA display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and a 1TB high-speed SSD so your game library loads quickly. Add in ASUS’s dual-fan IceCool thermal tech to keep things from overheating, and a full-size keyboard with blue backlighting, and you have a practical gaming rig that’s well worth the investment.
