Deja vu? For some reason the best gaming laptop I've personally tested keeps getting cheaper
Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 | RTX 4070 | Core Ultra 185H | 16-inch | 1600p | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-6400 | 1 TB SSD | $1,999.99$1,499.99 at Best Buy (save $500)
This little laptop is one we absolutely fell in love with in our review, with one caveat—our model had a much too powerful GPU that it couldn't make use of. This RTX 4070 model, on the other hand, should be perfectly balanced. Here you get a stunning OLED display, a slim and svelte form factor, and all the right specs. Simply a brilliant laptop, and one we were loathed to give back.
It's me again, back with another recommendation for this OLED gaming laptop, one I'd personally buy if I was in the market right now. Ordinarily I wouldn't write about the same lappy over and over again—but for some reason I can't quite figure out, this Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 keeps getting cheaper.

For full disclosure I should point out that my review sample was an RTX 4090 version, which was actually the biggest problem with it—that mega-GPU was far too much for its super-slim frame, and needed to throttle back.
This RTX 4070 model is the one I'd buy. While it's the 105 W version—not the full-strength 140 W chip—it should still deliver fantastic gaming performance, pumping pixels to simply the best laptop screen I've cast my eyes across. It's a 1600p OLED display with excellent colour reproduction, superbly deep contrast, and a 240 Hz refresh rate.
A good screen makes all the difference on a gaming laptop, and this is about as good as it gets right now.
It's not lacking in the CPU department either, with an Intel Core Ultra 9 with six Performance cores and eight Efficient, along with 16 GB of
