Labor Day deal: Asus gaming laptop
The Asus Zephyrus series is known for maximizing powerful performance in a sleek, portable design. As the "air-like" name suggests, this is a thin gaming laptop despite its 16-inch display.
As we mentioned earlier, the G16 laptop has an RTX 4070, Nvidia’s most affordable version of the 40 series, and a 13th generation Intel core (the latest is 14th generation). Most gamers won't need any more power than that.
It also offers a respectable 16 GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD – not quite 1 TB, but spacious enough to store plenty of games and apps.
