Summer is almost over, and that means right now is a great time to score one of the best laptops you can buy at a serious discount in Best Buy’s back-to-school sale.
I know because I’ve been scouring the sales looking for great laptop deals, and my eye was immediately drawn to the fact that the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 5060 GPU is on sale for $1,349 at Best Buy. That’s $450 off the usual $1,799 price of this portable powerhouse, which regularly tops our list of the best gaming laptops on the market.
I’ve long been a fan of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 because it nails the sweet spot between price, performance and portability, giving you all the power you need to run many of the best PC games in a package that fits in your backpack.
To see what I mean check out our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) review, where you can learn more about how well this potent powerhouse performs in the latest games alongside photos of what it’s like to use one at home and on the go.
You can also check out our lab testing data, which shows that the latest Zephyrus G14 is great for running games and has an eye-catching 3K 120Hz OLED display. And since it supports HDR and Nvidia G-Sync, you can count on silky-smooth framerates and gorgeous visuals in both movies and games.
Admittedly, this deal is on a mid-range G14 and the AMD Ryzen 9 270 CPU with 16GB of RAM isn’t going to blow you away. But it’s more than capable of handling most games at mid-range settings, especially when paired with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU.
Enable Nvidia’s DLSS tech and you should be able to run even demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty pretty well with multi-frame generation. And thanks to the plentiful port array, which includes USB-A and USB-C as well as an HDMI 2.1 out, you can play your favorite PC games on your TV to boot.
If that sounds appealing I recommend you snag this deal while you can, because I don’t think we’ll see this laptop on sale for less until Black Friday!
