Deal | RTX 5070-powered Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 OLED gaming laptop gets 26% discount

Aside from a deal for the very impressive but also very pricy Legion 9, gamers who are looking to upgrade can also find more reasonably priced gaming laptops for a fraction of the almost $6,000 that Lenovo charges for its 18-inch flagship.

Case in point, Best Buy has put the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 on sale with a discount of $575 relative to the official list price of $2,149. As a result, the 16-inch gaming notebook can currently be snatched for $1,575 including free store pickup or shipping where available. This deal offers potential savings of around 26%, which is not too bad considering the current memory and storage prices.

Speaking of memory an storage, this Zephyrus G16 model is equippedd with 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD in combination with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 dGPU. Also onboard is the good-looking 2.5K OLED display with 240Hz, 2560 x 1600 pixels and great contrast ratios as well as vibrant colors.

In order to find out whether this laptop is a good fit for your particular use case, please refer to our detailed review of the ROG Zephyrus G16. We reviewed the quicker RTX 5070 Ti-powered model variant of this 16-inch machine, but our benchmarks, measurements and impressions regarding crucial components such as the processor and OLED display will apply to the SKU that's on sale here.

Our reviewers liked the compact and well-built chassis, and Asus also did a good job with the input devices, speakers and overall performance. That being said, there's room for improvement in terms of HDR peak brightness, and the PWM flickering will cause eye strain for some users. We further criticzed the soldered and non-upgradable RAM, which is probably the biggest caveat considering that this configuration only comes with 16GB LPDDR5. Buyers who are aware of these limitations might want to check out this deal for the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 at Best Buy.
