This Best Buy discount might be the best Black Friday gaming laptop deal so far – save $500 on the Asus TUF A16 with RTX 5070

With Black Friday closing in fast, the deals are piling up – and there’s no better time of year to buy new tech. For those on the prowl for a new gaming laptop this year, I’ve found what I think might be the single best-value deal I’ve seen so far: the Asus TUF Gaming A16, now just $1,199.99 (was $1,699.99) at Best Buy.

Now, at more than a thousand bucks, that’s not exactly a cheap device, but the key thing to focus on here is the GPU: this model of the TUF A16 packs an Nvidia RTX 5070, and based on my deals research this Black Friday sales season, it might be the single cheapest laptop with that GPU right now. Similar models from the likes of MSI and Gigabyte can be seen close to that price on Amazon, but those laptops were cheaper to begin with, too; this $500 discount looks unbeatable.

If you’re shopping on a tighter budget, some of the best gaming laptops featuring RTX 5060 GPUs are seeing respectable discounts, but getting a laptop with an RTX 5070 is a wise move if your budget can stretch that far. For starters, the extra power means it’s simply more future-proof, and the overall specs on the Asus TUF A16 are nothing to sniff at either: with a shiny new AMD Ryzen 9 processor with local AI capabilities and a hefty 32GB of high-speed RAM, this laptop will be able to handle anything you throw at it.

Considering that the Asus TUF Gaming A16 only has a 1200p display, there’s basically no way you won’t be able to breach the holy grail of 60 frames per second in virtually any game with this laptop. The RTX 5070 grants access to both Nvidia‘s DLSS 3 upscaling technology and Multi Frame Generation for boosting your framerate even further – all but the most demanding titles probably won’t even need those.

The TUF A16 also features 1TB of high-speed storage, great for downloading numerous games at once – just so long as those games aren’t all SSD hogs like Destiny 2 or Ark: Survival Evolved, anyway. Game devs, can we work on install package optimization, please?
