Best Buy's been hosting a big 'Black Friday in July' sale this week - it's the retailer's answer to Amazon Prime Day. One area it undoubtedly beats its rival is in gaming laptops - such as this Asus TUF A16 for $1,349 (was $1,699).

If you were scanning the Amazon Prime Day listings, looking for a gaming laptop in vain, then this is my top choice right now. Not only does it feature the new RTX 5070 graphics card, but it's also one of the cheapest listings yet for a machine with this GPU.

<p>I'm surprised to see such a deep price cut on an RTX 5070 gaming laptop so soon after release, but I'm definitely not complaining. This Asus TUF A16 not only features a massive $300 price cut but you're also getting 32GB of RAM and a good Intel chipset. It's a shame this PC only has a 1200p display, but you'll have no issues playing games smoothly for a few good years down the line here.

We've tried the A14 and A16 models here at TechRadar and found them to be relatively good budget buys. They aren't high-end machines but the design is understated and appealing in our opinion. It's not a garish laptop - and you also get a nice display for the money. At full price, I'd say this Asus is definitely a little on the pricey side, but today's deal at Best Buy makes it a good buy.
