This gaming laptop is a real Christmas cracker at only $899
A great price on a 1080p gaming laptop
If you're looking for a solid gaming laptop on a budget that offers a good mid-range gaming performance, then we have a great deal for you from Best Buy. You can pick up an RTX 4060-powered Asus TUF Gaming F15 gaming laptop for just $899, $200 off its regular price of $1099. This laptop comes with a 15-inch display that can put out a 144Hz refresh rate, and combined with its Full High-Definition (FHD) resolution this Asus laptop should shine in 1080p gaming with sensible game settings.
You can get the Asus TUF Gaming F15 in various configs, with this model (FX507ZV-F15.I74060) coming with the 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H processor, and Nvidia's RTX 4060 laptop GPU (140W). Although the CPU is from 1-2 generations ago, it's not going to be a bottleneck for the RTX 4060 GPU on 1080p gaming.
We've reviewed the Asus TUF Gaming F15 previously in 2022 and awarded it 4/5 stars, finding it a great budget gaming laptop that excels at productivity, too. This version also featured the Intel Core i7-12700H processor but had a less powerful RTX 3060 GPU inside. We were impressed by its overall performance in both 1080p gaming and productivity tasks and this was priced at $1,499, so it's great to see the price fall to a far more attractive $899.

This has to be one of the best laptops under $1000 that you can get currently if you're looking for something to use as a small gaming computer and for doing some of your day-to-day work or study. The dark-unassuming chassis helps to let this computer blend in if you're using it at work and features a full keyboard complete with a number pad, along with dedicated keys for the volume, microphone mute, and to open Asus’ Armoury Crate app to configure settings.
