The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2023) is a mid-range 16-inch gaming laptop that combines a relatively lightweight (2 kg/4.41 lbs) and thin (20 mm) chassis with the Intel Raptor Lake CPUs and the RTX 40 laptop GPUs. As such, the device provides a good balance of gaming performance and affordability. And, since we are talking about a Windows gaming machine here, the laptop can often be found on deep discounts.

To that end, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 price has just dropped to $1,199.99 at Best Buy. This represents a discount of $400 over the $1,599.99 list price.

The price cut has made the ROG Zephyrus G16 a pretty good value considering the internals on offer. We are looking at a 10-core Core i7-13620H CPU, an RTX 4070 laptop GPU, 16 GB of DDR5 memory, and 512 GB of PCIe Gen 4 storage.

Complementing the performance, the ROG Zephyrus G16’s 16-inch FHD panel is plenty enough for gaming and media streaming. The screen covers 100% of the sRGB gamut while boasting 300 nits of brightness, a 165 Hz refresh rate, and Nvidia G-Sync. Additionally, the presence of Nvidia Advanced Optimus should ensure seamless switching between the iGPU and the dGPU.
