7 Black Friday Asus TUF Gaming laptop deals that make us squeal
The Asus TUF Gaming A14 is my favorite gaming laptop of 2024, and it's seeing Black Friday discounts along with other Asus TUF Gaming laptops.
Black Friday is getting intense as we find some of the best deals in all categories from laptops to gaming hardware. And throughout 2024, one laptop managed to break through the noise and solidify itself as the best of the year: That's none other than the Asus TUF Gaming A14, which I gave 4.5 out of 5 stars in my review and called it the perfect portable gaming laptop.
The Asus TUF Gaming A14 is currently $1,299 at Best Buy, bringing it down by $100 when compared to its original price. While that isn't the steepest discount, it's still great to see a laptop that I already believed was a steal at its price receive a markdown to begin with.
But what makes Asus TUF Gaming laptops so special? In the case of the TUF Gaming A14, it yields an impressive balance between sturdiness and power, all while maintaining a decently reasonable price point. I often find issue with gaming laptops feeling flimsy, but these do not suffer the same fate, built with MIL-STD-810H certification, meaning it passed tests involving drops, vibration, humidity, high or low temperatures, and more. The A14 in particular also lasted over 10 hours on the Laptop Mag battery life test, which involves continuous web surfing over wifi at 150 nits.
While we cannot guarantee every Asus TUF Gaming laptop is similarly excellent, they tend to feature a certain level of quality assurance, and considering some of these products, like the Asus TUF Gaming A16 for $699 at Best Buy, are seeing discounts by $400, it's a great time to invest during Black Friday.
