Gaming laptops with RTX 4080 GPUs are a little too expensive right now, and when you have powerful machines outfitted with an RTX 3080 and available at such attractive discounts, there is absolutely no one that can ignore this kind of offer. Yes, we are talking about the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15, a 15.6-inch portable powerhouse that is available for only $1,499.99 on Amazon after a massive $500 discount.
