Deal | Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop with RTX 3070 and Intel Core i7-12650H now on sale with a significant US$400 discount
A decent gaming laptop with a powerful dedicated graphics card is undoubtedly a must-have for gamers who would like to pursue their dearest hobby on the go. Well-performing but still affordable 15-inch machines with an RTX 3070 are among the most popular choices in this competitive segment, and thanks to a current deal, prospective buyers can save some hard-earned money on their upcoming purchase.
This time round, Best Buy offers the Asus TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop with an Intel Core i7-12650H Alder Lake processor and the aforementioned Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 dGPU with 8GB of VRAM and a maximum TGP of 105 watts for a discounted sale price of US$1,099. That constitutes a US$400 or 26% discount in comparison to its official MSRP of US$1,499; and it's one of the lowest prices we've seen for this specific configuration. This version of the Asus TUF Dash F15 is further equipped with 16GB of DDR5 memory, a fairly spacious 512GB SSD as well as a Full-HD display with a native refresh rate of 144Hz but relatively low brightness of just 250 nits according to the manufacturer.
In our comprehensive review of the Asus TUF Dash F15 configuration with the nicer QHD display, which is also available as a video review on our revitalized YouTube channel, we praised the gaming laptop's compact and relatively light chassis, which weighs just 4.3 lbs but still has enough space for a second M.2 SSD. This 15-inch notebook also comes with a Thunderbolt 4 and a regular USB-C 3.2 port that supports Power Delivery. Last but not least, gamers can also opt to turn off the power-efficient E-cores of the Intel Core i7 CPU, which conveniently avoids DRM compatibility issues with some older games.
In conclusion, this deal for the Asus TUF Dash F15 is a reasonable choice for mid-range gamers who are looking for an affordable RTX 3070-powered notebook and can live with the fairly dim screen that is part of this particular model. Please note that slightly more expensive gaming laptop alternatives with noticeably better displays, like the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro and Gigabyte Aero 5, are also still available at discounted sale prices.
