Deal | Asus ROG Flow X16 gaming laptop with 165Hz QHD display and RTX 3060 now discounted by 20%

To the delight of many tech enthusiasts, the ongoing holiday shopping season also brings a bunch of noteworthy gaming laptop deals, some of which offer even better prices than on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. This is certainly the case with the Asus ROG Flow X16, which has now received its steepest discount to date at a reputable US retailer.

Best Buy currently offers the Asus ROG Flow X16 configuration with the fast AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS octa-core processor and the well-known Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 dGPU with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM and an appropriate peak TGP of 125 watts for US$1,599. Therefore, this deal offers a discount of US$400 or 20 percent in relation to the original list price of US$1,999. Aside from the aforementioned technical specs, this 16-inch gaming laptop also comes with 16GB of DDR5 memory, a spacious 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD and a 2560 by 1600 QHD+ IPS display with a 165Hz refresh rate and respectable peak brightness of 500 nits.

We tested an even more expensive RTX 3070 Ti-powered Mini-LED configuration of the Asus ROG Flow X16 earlier this year, but prospective buyers still might want to check out our comprehensive video review on YouTube. Among other things, we liked the gaming laptop's 2-in-1 form factor as well as the quiet cooling system. This machine also comes with good speakers and two RAM and SSD slots, which make future upgrades incredible easy. For a considerably discounted deal price of US$1,599, this system certainly doesn't provide the best bang for the buck in terms of performance, but nervetheless, it's a well-made notebook that is worth consideration for buyers who are in the market for a 16-inch gaming convertible.
