I've simply not seen an RTX 4070 gaming laptop as cheap as this 15-inch Asus machine

Now, I'm only equating these two laptops on the point of potential GPU performance, because they are very different machines. For one, the Razer is near three times the price, but is also a slimline little system, and a premium one at that.

The Asus TUF range represents a far more value-oriented group of gaming laptops. But they're still providing an excellent baseline spec, and will deliver a notebook capable of offering excellent gaming performance in the latest games as the machine's native 1920 x 1080 resolution. For a little
