If you’re in the market for a powerful photo and video editing laptop, I've found a top deal in Best Buy's Tech Fest sale: the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is now $2100 (was $2630) at Best Buy.
That’s a $530 discount on a system absolutely packed with high-end hardware. It's powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285H, a 16-core processor with boost speeds up to 5.4GHz. The chip handles demanding workloads, heavy multitasking, and large creative projects with ease.

G-SYNC support helps keep visuals smooth by reducing tearing and stuttering during fast motion. Fast refresh rates also help when working with high-frame-rate video or detailed animation timelines.
This configuration includes 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM running at 7467MHz, giving it plenty of room for demanding multitasking. Large creative workloads, multiple apps, and dozens of browser tabs won’t slow it down. For storage you get a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.
The CNC-machined aluminum chassis measures just 0.59 inches thick and weighs around 4.3lbs.
Cooling relies on liquid metal on the CPU, upgraded Arc Flow fans, and a vapor chamber to keep temperatures under control during heavy or prolonged workloads.
Connectivity includes HDMI 2.1, Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, USB-A ports, and a UHS-II microSD card reader. It supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth. Battery life is rated up to about 10 hours depending on usage.
For content creators and power users who want serious performance in a thin laptop, Best Buy's $530 discount should put the Zephyrus G16 towards the top of your shopping list.
