More and more ASUS gaming laptops will eventually be flooded on Amazon sporting NVIDIA’s shiny new RTX 5000 GPUs, which is why Amazon has found the perfect opportunity to heavily discount the previous-generation machines to make them an attractive alternative for the masses. The TUF Gaming A16 is one example of how a pricey portable powerhouse can now turn into a daily driver for potentially hundreds, as it is now $500 more affordable with the latest listing.
The TUF Gaming A16 can be yours for $1,299.99, and with this price, you not only get an RTX 4070 GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, but also AMD’s 16-core Ryzen 9 7940HX CPU. The gaming laptop offers increased screen real estate thanks to its 16-inch IPS LCD, with the 16:10 aspect ratio delivering added vertical space to help you get more work done, assuming you plan on using the TUF Gaming A16 for more tasks than gaming. The QHD+ will definitely make everything look crisp on this machine.
RAM and storage upgrades are available and are easily accessible, but for this configuration, you get 16GB of DDR5 memory, coupled with a 1TB ultra-fast SSD. Given that NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 upscaling technology is supported by the RTX 4070, it makes little sense to upgrade to an RTX 5070 laptop, especially when it will most likely be kitted out with 8GB of video memory. The existence of Frame Generation can help you experience better framerates, so if NVIDIA’s RTX 5000 lineup had more to offer compared to their direct predecessor, we would not be talking about ASUS’ TUF Gaming A16 at all.
If you are looking for an even better deal, the ROG Strix G16 is up for grabs, with the gaming laptop sporting an RTX 4060 for just $1,099.99 on Amazon. With this deal, you will not only save $200 compared to the TUF Gaming A16, but you will also get a free game copy of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and 90 days to immerse yourself in titles listed on Xbox Game Pass.
