Best Buy is currently hosting a sale on one of Asus' newest gaming laptops equipped with the latest Intel Core i7 CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 GPU.
The Asus TUF Dash F15 is the company's entry-level gaming model in contrast to the higher-end Asus ROG series. Thus, users won't be getting many of the luxurious LED design features or ultra-sleek metal surfaces. Nonetheless, the expandable RAM and storage will certainly make bargain hunters happy as well as the 512 GB NVMe SSD, 144 Hz 1080p display, 16 GB RAM, and the GeForce RTX 3060 GPU.
The main drawback to the laptop is its quad-core Core i7-11370H CPU whereas most other gaming laptops come with the faster octa-core Core i7-10875H or hexa-core Core i7-10750H instead. Games and other applications that rely heavily on core count may run a bit slower on this Asus as a result. Luckily, most games these days tend to be GPU bound rather than CPU bound and so any performance deficits will be minimal in the vast majority of cases.
