Deal | ASUS TUF Gaming A17 with AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS and RTX 4070 discounted down to US$1,399.99

July is shaping up to be an excellent month for discounts. Between the 4th of July sales and the upcoming Amazon Prime Day deals coming next week, quite a few laptop models featuring Nvidia’s RTX 4070 dGPU are getting excellent discounts. Newegg currently has a 22% markdown on the Asus TUF Gaming A17 powered by AMD’s Ryzen 9 7940HS and, of course, an RTX 4070. This is a $400 discount over the US$1,799.99 MSRP.

The R9 7940HS needs no introduction as it is the fastest APU from the highly-praised “Phoenix” series that introduces the XDNA AI engine. Additionally, the RTX 4070 dGPU offers great value since last year’s TUF models with RTX 3070 only recently slipped under US$1,400.

Asus is supplying a rather subpar display on this model with a 17.3-inch IPS panel, 1080p resolution, 144 Hz refresh, 250 nit typical max brightness and 62.5% sRGB color gamut.

Spec highlights for this model also include:

• 16 GB DDR5-4800 RAM
• 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
• Port selection: 1x USB4, 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (DP 14 + PD), 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI 2.1 video out with MUX switch, audio jack and GbE jack
