NVIDIA’s RTX 5000 series gaming laptops are just around the corner, and to say that the machines, particularly the ones from ASUS, will be expensive is a gross understatement. In fact, every time a new series of these portable powerhouses arrives, it takes a while for them to be discounted down to acceptable prices. This makes the ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop, which is powered by an RTX 4060 GPU, the more compelling option on Amazon, as buyers will not just receive a free digital game copy of Assassin’s Creed Shadows the machine is also available for 21 percent less.
The listing on the online retailer mentions a price of $1,099.99, but even if it is an attractive discount, what is stopping you from upgrading to an RTX 5060 version? For one thing, NVIDIA’s new GPU are said to feature 8GB VRAM, which remains unchanged from the RTX 4060. Furthermore, apart from bringing ‘Multi Frame Generation,’ which not every game will support, the RTX 5000 series does not bring anything noteworthy and unique to the table. After all, DLSS 4 will also be supported by the ROG Strix G16’s RTX 4060 graphics processor, and you can still avail decent performance since it supports frame generation.
The previous-generation GPU is paired with an Intel Core i7-13650HX CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD, a 16-inch IPS LCD that supports a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 and goes up to 165Hz. ASUS’ engineers have completely revamped the internal cooling design because despite being limited by the 16-inch footprint, the ROG Strix G16 features a triple-fan cooler while offering proper RAM and storage upgrades. Another sweetener added to the deal is that buyers get a free 90-day Xbox Game Pass, allowing them to enjoy gaming content without paying a single dime.
With all of these freebies offered with the gaming laptop, it is hard to ignore the value proposition of the ASUS ROG Strix G16. It only boils down to how badly you want to take advantage of this deal because it will not last forever.
