Deal | Asus ROG Strix G17 gaming laptop with RTX 4070, AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX and 240Hz QHD display discounted by 27% in Amazon's Black Friday sale

17-inch gaming laptops have regained some popularity over the last few years as they are still one of the very best desktop replacement options for demanding 4K and QHD gamers who don't have to carry around their notebook on a regular basis. Although these machines can be quite expensive, Amazon is now offering a quite intriguing Black Friday discount on the RTX 4070-equipped Asus ROG Strix G17.

This particular deal on Amazon applies to the Asus ROG Strix G17 model with the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX octa-core processor, which is one of the fastest mobile CPUs on the market. The 17-inch QHD gaming laptop is further equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070, 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD. Thanks to a significant 27 percent or US$500 discount, this Asus ROG Strix G17 configuration can now be ordered for US$1,599 including free shipping in what appears to be a limited-time Black Friday deal that might not actually last until this Friday.

For more details on the ROG Strix G17, please refer to our in-depth review of an almost similar SKU with twice the amount of memory. Among other things, we were quite impressed by the performance of the top-end AMD Zen4 CPU, but we also praised the gaming laptop's speakers, cooling system and 240Hz QHD display, which is mostly limited by its peak brightness of around 330 nits. Furthermore, prospective buyers should note that this Asus machine weighs more than 6 lbs and has a pretty measly battery life of just 4 hours when browsing the web. Overall, this Black Friday offer is worth a closer look for buyers in the 17-inch segment who are regularly playing CPU-heavy open-world games such as Bethesda's latest SciFi hit Starfield (curr. US$55 on Amazon).
