Deal | Asus ROG Strix G17 becomes super value as RTX 4070 and Ryzen 9 7940HX SKU records $450 price cut
Desktop gaming is not in an ideal state at the moment. Amidst the widespread RTX 50 supply issues which have pushed the prices of GPUs far above their MSRPs, something that has or is likely to hit the newly launched RX 9070 series as well, it might make more sense for enthusiasts to choose a gaming laptop.
While there are a ton of advantages to going with a desktop PC, gaming laptops are often significantly cheaper when we consider the whole package. Add frequent sales and discounts to the mix and buying a gaming laptop is probably the right choice for someone who is strapped for cash.
If you are in the same boat, B&H Photo is now selling the Asus ROG Strix G17 with an RTX 4070 laptop GPU for only $1,249.99. The discounted price is $450 or 26.5% lower than the $1,699.99 list price. This a pretty decent price for a powerful gaming laptop that puts its hardware to good use as shown by our review.
ROG Strix G17: Ryzen 9 7940HX, RTX 4070, and a 240 Hz display
While Asus has made some concessions to keep the price down, power is one thing that the ROG Strix G17 doesn’t skimp out on. A combination of a flagship 16-core Ryzen 9 7940HX CPU, 16 GB of DDR5 memory, 1 TB of storage, and a 140 W RTX 4070 laptop GPU ensures that gamers have all the power they need for QHD and high-refresh-rate FHD gaming.
Games will also play great on the 17-inch IPS panel. With a refresh rate of 240 Hz and complete DCI-P3 coverage, the Asus ROG Strix G17’s display is more than sufficient for pure gaming. That said, the contrast and brightness are only average. So, folks who want to enjoy vibrant/HDR visuals will have to shell out for a separate PC monitor.
Rounding off the Asus ROG Strix G17 is a solid port selection highlighted by two Type-C and two Type-A ports, two SO-DIMM for RAM and two M.2 slots for storage easy upgrades, and excellent speakers.
Put simply, the Asus ROG Strix G17 with an RTX 4070 and a Ryzen 9 7940HX is a fantastic value proposition at the going price.
