If you want to start the New Year with a new gaming rig, I recommend checking out the Asus Zephyrus G16 for just $1,149.99 (was $1,599) at Best Buy.
The retailer's huge ongoing clearance sale in January has returned an incredible price to this high-end gaming laptop, which just so happens to feature an RTX 4070 graphics card, an Intel Core i7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and a lightweight design extremely elegant. That is rarely rivaled by the competition.
While this is no longer the latest machine in the range (it's the oldest model with the 13th Gen Intel chipset), it's a whopping $400 cheaper than Best Buy's newest version right now. While the newer model has a great OLED display and a fancy new Ultra 9 chipset, I'd still say the older G16 is worth a look if you're determined to get the best value for money today.

If there's one thing I'm not crazy about about this machine, it's that it only has a 1080p display, not the 1440p or higher one you often get with high-end laptops or the incredible 2.5K OLED display on the latest model. .
1080p is pretty tacky by comparison, but the RTX 4070 in this machine will have no problem running games at this resolution for a few years, and it's also great for running external monitors. Overall, I'd still say this G16 is a great value option if you're willing to pick one up before it's permanently sold out at Best Buy.
