Major retailers aren’t about to hand over all the shopping traffic to Amazon, just because it’s Prime Day. For instance, Newegg is embarking on the second round of its Fantastech Sale (between us though, this is pretty much a Prime Day deal, just by another name). Which is great news if you’re a gamer. Right now, you can get a whopping $400 discount on an Asus ROG Strix G 15.6 gaming Laptop. It’s only $900, down from its original price of $1,300. Game on!

What’s on offer is a powerful, versatile, upgradeable gaming laptop. ROG, one of the dominant names in the es-ports business, introduced the Strix to help gamers dominate in their field. This is a reliably kickass machine for every kind of gamer. And it looks great too.

ASUS really kicked up the design of this laptop. There aren’t many sleeker gaming laptops out there, but their efforts continued under the hood as well. A huge factor in gaming performance, and your ability to compete with the best of them, is keeping your machine cool. Using inspiration from their collaboration with BMW Designworks Group, Asus created their 3D Flow Zone, a new approach to cooling which you can witness through a window. Proper airflow halts interruptions and lag, which any gamer knows can not only set them back, but ruin the experience. The Strix G has dual N-Blade fans with 83 blades, plus super-thin fins which increase their cooling ability.

Another major factor in determining how well you’ll play is how well a laptop handles the games you’re throwing at it. What you need is a great processor and graphics card, and the Strix G has exactly these. It boasts the latest 9th Gen Intel Core processor and GeForce RTX graphics. It doesn’t get much better in a laptop. On top of this, there’s 8 GB ram and an entire TB of SSD storage. This laptop comes ready to play hard. We also love the trim bezel on the 15.6-inch screen, the ray tracing for the best possible lighting of your games, and the low-key LED lighting around the laptop’s periphery. You can customize this, too, and make it your own.

We’re seeing some fantastic Prime Day laptop deals and even some amazing Prime Day gaming laptop deals, but it’s difficult to find this kind of discount on a gaming laptop as advanced and versatile as the Asus ROG Strix G 15.6. Act now, and you grab a $400 discount on an Asus ROG Strix G 15.6 gaming Laptop. It’s only $900, down from its original price of $1,300. Up your game, while you still can.

This RTX 3070 gaming laptop deal for $1,000 officially wins Cyber Monday

If you're shopping for a gaming laptop under $1,000, you know what to expect. An RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti in a very thick chassis. Well, that's where this Cyber Monday deal from Best Buy exceeds my expectations for what gaming laptops at this price can be.

The deal is for an Asus TUF Dash, which normally sells for $1,500. Thanks to a discount of $500, though, this powerful gaming laptop now lands just under $1,000. That's an incredible value, considering it packs an RTX 3070 inside. And that GPU really does make all the difference in game performance.
