Picking up a new gaming laptop is never something you should do on a whim. It's important to make sure your next gaming rig has plenty of beefy specs to handle whatever you want to throw at it but it's equally important to avoid overspending. That said, if you're in the market for something quick, it helps to take advantage of a good sale which is exactly what we've come across today. This Asus ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop is currently available at Amazon for one of its lowest prices to date—$1,164 instead of its usual $1,399.
