Best Buy has the 2023 ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for US$250 off the list price. Thanks to an RTX 4070 and a Core i7-12700H, the notebook has enough performance to handle even the most demanding games. Moreover, the laptop is also relatively portable due to its 4.58 lbs weight and 24.95 mm thin profile.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is an upper mid-range gaming laptop with a 15.6-inch display. The RTX 4070 and Core i7-12700H-powered configuration of the notebook with a list price of US$1,399.99 is currently enjoying a deep discount of US$250 at Best Buy (via slickdeals). The 18% cut has brought the laptop back down to its lowest rate in 120 days per Honey’s price history tool.

In addition to the 140 W RTX 4070 and the 14-core Core i7-12700H, the TUF Gaming F15 features 16 GB of dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory, 1 TB of storage, and a 15.6-inch IPS display. The display boasts FHD resolution, NVIDIA G-SYNC, 144 Hz refresh rate, 300 nits of brightness, and an advertised 100% of the sRGB gamut. Furthermore, the machine packs a good number of ports including one Thunderbolt 4, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, HDMI 2.0, and an RJ45.

In our review of the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (FX507ZM), the laptop showcased strong CPU performance, as the Core i7-12700H proved to be similar to the Core i9-12900H and up to 30% faster than the 11th-gen Core i7-11800H in multi-threaded workloads. In fact, the Core i7-12700H inside the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is 14% faster than the average Core i7-12700H CPU in our database in the Cinebench R20 Multi-Core benchmark.

The GPU performance should also be quite impressive, as the RTX 4070 is, per our testing, faster than an RTX 3080 mobile. For instance, the RTX 4070 scored 11,411 points in 3DMark Time Spy Graphics which is less than 4% slower than the RTX 3080 Ti mobile.

In other words, the RTX 4070 has plenty of performance for high refresh rate FHD gaming. For instance, the board drove The Last of Us Remake at 85.5 FPS, Star Wars Jedi Survivors at 79 FPS, and Hogwarts Legacy at 123 FPS using the High graphical preset.

In short, if you are on the hunt for an upper mid-range gaming laptop that doesn’t break the bank, the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 for only US$1,149.99 deserves your attention.
