Deal | RTX 4060-powered Asus TUF A15 is super affordable following 27% price cut

If you are after an entry-level gaming laptop, lineups like the Lenovo LOQ and the Asus TUF series are your best bet to find a fairly powerful machine that doesn’t cut too many corners. Most of these notebooks bring durable bodies, good entry-level/mid-range internals, and decent screens, often for much less than $1,000.

Case in point, the 2023 Asus TUF A15 gaming laptop with an RTX 4060 laptop GPU, a Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, and a 144 Hz display is now on sale for just $649.99 at Staples. Normally, this Asus TUF A15 configuration goes for $900 at full retail. So, the $649.99 price is a $250 discount.

Performance-wise, the RTX 4060 and the 8-core Ryzen 7 7735HS is a solid combo for FHD gaming. In our review of the RTX 4050-equipped Asus TUF A15, we showed that demanding titles like Hogwarts Legacy can be played above 80 FPS at 1080p with max graphics. The RTX 4060 inside the model on sale is more than 20% faster than the RTX 4050, which should make high-refresh FHD gaming a real possibility.

The laptop’s 144 Hz IPS is perfectly suitable for high-refresh 1080p gaming. It covers 100% sRGB, has a decent brightness of 270 nits average, and features a matte coating to reduce glare. Unfortunately, the panel shows its budget nature in contrast and response times. So, if you need a faster display with more contrast, Amazon has a wide selection of good budget monitors.

Other mentionable qualities of the Asus TUF A15 include its relatively low noise/heat output, good port selection, and strong battery life. The laptop also carries two SO-DIMM slots for RAM expansion and a removable m.2 2280 SSD.

All in all, the Asus TUF A15 is a good affordable gaming laptop that is now an incredible deal thanks to the current $250 discount.
