The laptop variant of the RTX 4070 delivers a performance tier that is slightly above the RTX 4060, giving you enjoyable framerates in visually impressive games. Unfortunately, the price of gaming laptops outfitted with this GPU discouraged potential buyers, but not when it is Amazon’s Black Friday 2024 sale because the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 is kitted with this hardware and is quite affordable at $1,199.99 thanks to a 29 percent discount.
Fortunately, the TUF Gaming A15 is not just a strong performer in games but in productivity-focused workloads, and it can deliver exceptional battery life thanks to the power-efficient 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 7940HS CPU. This means that you can choose to bring the power brick with you to your favorite coffee place or not, and the gaming laptop will still deliver sufficient runtime that you still have juice leftover to charge it.
As for the rest of the specifications, the TUF Gaming A15 features a decent construction, along with a 15.6-inch 1080p 144Hz IPS LCD screen that produces a high color gamut. Supplementing the GPU and CPU is 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD, both of which can be upgraded down the road, but if your budget allows, there is no better time to upgrade than now. For instance, Crucial’s 32GB DDR5 RAM kit with 5,600MHz clock speeds is going for just $79.99 after a 27 percent discount.
Additionally, you can upgrade the storage too by getting either 4TB versions of the Crucial P3 Plus for $194.99, or the Acer Predator GM7000 for $219.99. Both solid-state drives support the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 standard, but the GM7000 delivers better speeds and is only slightly more expensive, making it a perfect upgrade. Then again, if you want to maximize on your savings goal, you can get the P3 Plus.
ASUS has added a MUX switch to the TUF Gaming A15, and though you will be required to reboot the machine, you can net between 5-10 percent increase in gaming performance. This gaming laptop certainly delivers the whole package, so if you want a decent configuration at a stellar discount, this is one option that you would love to own.
