Walmart has a decent deal for the RTX 4060-equipped ROG Strix G17 (Image: Asus)

Deal | Asus ROG Strix G17 with RTX 4060, AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX and 240Hz QHD display gets US$300 discount in new gaming laptop sale

The mid-range machine is also equipped with a 1TB SSD and 16GB of DDR5 RAM, but due to its weight of more than 6 lbs, the 2023 Asus ROG Strix G17 is not a particularly good choice for gamers who often carry around their gaming laptop.
