This RTX 5070 gaming laptop is going for just $1,349 today – you won

Best Buy’s been hosting a big ‘Black Friday in July’ sale this week – it’s the retailer’s answer to Amazon Prime Day. One area it undoubtedly beats its rival is in gaming laptops – such as this Asus TUF A16 for $1,349 (was $1,699).

If you were scanning the Amazon Prime Day listings, looking for a gaming laptop in vain, then this is my top choice right now. Not only does it feature the new RTX 5070 graphics card, but it’s also one of the cheapest listings yet for a machine with this GPU.

Alongside the RTX 5070, you also get 32GB of RAM and a decent Intel Core 7 chipset, which should get you great performance right out of the box. This machine ‘only’ features a 1200p display, so you’ll have absolutely no issues getting smooth frame rates for a few good years down the line. As the most recent GPU series, you can expect great Ray-Tracing performance and support for Multi-Frame Generation too!

We’ve tried the A14 and A16 models here at TechRadar and found them to be relatively good budget buys. They aren’t high-end machines but the design is understated and appealing in our opinion. It’s not a garish laptop – and you also get a nice display for the money. At full price, I’d say this Asus is definitely a little on the pricey side, but today’s deal at Best Buy makes it a good buy.
