Deal | RTX 5070 Ti gaming laptop for $662 less: Asus ROG Strix G16 in almost brand new condition is now on sale
The Asus ROG Strix G16 G614 (2025) sits below the Strix Scar 16 as a more cost-effective 16-inch gaming laptop for folks. The laptop can be configured with up to a Ryzen 9 9955HX3D CPU, an RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU, a 2.5K 240 Hz display, and 64 GB of memory. However, this configuration will cost you considerably more than $2,000.
A quirk of the ROG Strix G16 G614 is that you can bring this price down to a more reasonable level by choosing a less powerful CPU without losing the RTX 5070 Ti. For instance, with a Ryzen 9 8940HX CPU and a 165 Hz IPS display, the ROG Strix G16 costs $1,999.99 brand new from Best Buy.
Moreover, you can also save hundreds of dollars by going with an “Open Box” model from Best Buy. At the time of writing, Best Buy is offering the ROG Strix G16 in:
- Open Box Fair condition for $1,217.99
- Open Box Good condition for $1,277.99

Suffice to say, the Asus ROG Strix G16 with an RTX 5070 Ti laptop, a Ryzen 9 8940HX, 16 GB of DDR5 memory, 1 TB of storage, and a 165 Hz display is a superb value at under $1,350.
