My favorite gaming laptop deal right now? It's this Asus with an RTX 4060 for 
just $649 at Staples.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

We're starting our descent into the end-of-year deals season now, but there's 
one gaming laptop deal that I highly recommend picking up before it's too 
late. It's this Asus TUF A15 at Staples for just $649.99 (was $899) , which 
is easily the best bang-for-the-buck laptop right now for those on a budget. 

I've written about this particular deal before, and quite frankly, I'm 
surprised it's still on sale. It is an older machine with an RTX 4060 
graphics card and AMD Ryzen 5-7535HS chipset, but I'd still recommend this 
machine above all others right now if your budget is in the $600 to $800 
range. 

With these specs (as well as 16GB of RAM), you'll have no issues playing most 
games smoothly on this machine's 144Hz, 1080p display. Yeah, some Ultra 
settings may be slightly out of reach, but I have zero issues recommending 
this one  particularly if you're more of a casual gamer, or play slightly 
less demanding or older titles. The best cheap gaming laptop deal right now 

 Graphics card: GeForce RTX 4060
 Processor: AMD Ryzen 5-7535HS
 RAM: 16G
B Storage: 512GB 

Looking for a solid gaming laptop on a budget? You won't find a better option 
than this heavily discounted Asus TUF at Staples. With the combination of an 
RTX 4060 graphics card and Ryzen 5 chipset, this machine is more than capable 
of running most games smoothly at 1080p. Although not a high-end machine, 
this Asus is superb value for money. View Deal 

We haven't reviewed this particular model here at TechRadar, but you can 
check out our sister site GamesRadar's newest Asus TUF A15 review for a 
proper in-depth look. In short, the laptop was praised for its performance, 
design, and build quality for the price. The main criticism was its dated 
display - which, again, can be slightly forgiven considering it's a budget 
model (and today's deal makes it way, way cheaper). Also available this 
week... 

 Graphics card: RTX 5070
 Processor: Intel Core i7-14650HX
 RAM: 16G
B Storage: 1TB 

Walmart has just listed a huge price cut on this MSI Katana 15 gaming laptop  
just in time for Labor Day. At $1,099, this is one of the cheapest machines 
I've ever seen to carry a higher-end RTX 5070 graphics card, and you also get 
a superb 14th-gen Core i7 chipset for good measure. While you'll likely want 
to upgrade to 32GB of RAM to unleash this laptop's full potential, this is a 
fantastic bang-for-the-buck 1440p gaming machine. View Deal
