As the best gaming laptops make the jump to RTX 30 series graphics, now makes for a great time to shop for oldie but goodie alternatives, where the new technology means big price drops.

For a limited time at Microsoft, you can get a specced-out Asus ROG Strix G15 with RTX 2060 graphics and 10th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU for just $999, which is a huge $300 off.

Living up to the Strix name, this is a seriously capable machine that will handle graphically intense single player titles and also push out plenty of frames for those competitive games. Which means it also packs a 15.6-inch FHD display with a buttery smooth 240Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood is a pairing of 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10870H CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics. There's also 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and games load in a snap thanks to the 512GB SSD.

This machine will also fit into your desk setup well, since it packs all the I/O you need, including HDMI, gigabit ethernet and plenty of USB ports.
