At that price, the Strix G16 is a much more reasonable buy as a mid-range gaming laptop. The RTX 5070 in particular is worth highlighting as a mid-range GPU in Nvidia's latest RTX 50 series.
Today's best RTX 5070 gaming laptop deal
Asus ROG Strix G16 Gaming Laptop: was US$1,749.99 now US$1,299.99 at WalmartThe Asus ROG Strix G16 is a mid-range gaming laptop that's worth considering as your first gaming laptop or a reasonably priced upgrade from an older laptop. The RTX 5070 is an eye-catching feature at this price, especially with the modern AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. The 165Hz/3ms FHD+ display should also stand out to someone looking for a responsive screen for playing fast-paced games in medium to high quality.
View DealWe haven't tested this particular ROG Strix G16 model, but Asus has regularly released some of the best gaming laptops we've tried.
The latest ROG Strix G16 features a 165Hz/3ms FHD+ display, much higher than budget and mid-range gaming laptops that stop between 60Hz and 120Hz. In addition to the RTX 5070, it runs on an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor with 16GB RAM and includes 1TB of SSD storage.
That's plenty to suggest that it'll still perform well under pressure and have enough space to store a large library of games. It also includes three months of PC Game Pass for free.
For more, I'd recommend looking at the best Asus computers we saw at CES 2026 and our best affordable gaming laptop, the Asus V16.
