Amazon has this ASUS gaming laptop on sale for $300 off — the lowest price we’ve ever seen it

TwitterFacebook

As much as console players don’t want to hear it (including myself), PC gaming does it better — from graphical power to control precision. However, shopping for them can be a bit difficult. It’s often a balancing act between cost and performance, especially when it comes to gaming laptops. But thanks to Amazon and ASUS, that headache has been drastically reduced.

The ASUS ROG STRIX Thin and Light gaming laptop is currently on sale for $999.99, down $300 from its regular price of $1299.99. The laptop comes loaded with a GTX 1050 4GB graphics card, an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a combo 256GB SSD/1TB HDD.

Gamers have had a choice of beefy, ultra-high-spec PCs for years. But when it comes to mobile phones that are good for gaming, it’s mostly down to choosing a flagship that hopefully won’t melt after 30 minutes of PUBG. 

This may change with Asus’ new phone, announced at Computex on Monday. Called the ROG Phone — in line with Asus’ ROG family of gaming-oriented products — it’s got the specs to power the most demanding of mobile games. 

The Asus ROG Phone is a 6-inch smartphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor clocked to 2.96GHz, Adreno 630 GPU, up to 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. That’s top of the class by any metric; in fact, no other phone on the market offers such powerful specs at this moment.  Read more…
