Today’s best budget gaming laptop deal

We haven’t reviewed this particular model, but we have reviewed a similar Asus TUF A16 Gaming Laptop, which was awarded a strong four out of five stars. It doesn’t quite compete with the very best gaming laptops, but it’s excellent value for money.

It has a good mixture of hardware that complements each component well. It looks pretty sleek yet stylish without being too in your face. It also has military-grade durability, so it can handle a more physical life if needed (but please don’t throw your laptop).

Little details like a backlit keyboard, HDMI port, Thunderbolt port, and plenty of USB ports all add up nicely as well. If you want one of the best laptops around, but also be able to game, this is worth checking out if you’re on a budget and can’t go all out with your purchase.
