The Asus ROG Strix G17 is one of our favorite affordable gaming laptops of yesteryear. We praised it for its "great low-budget power," but now it's even cheaper than when we reviewed it and it even offers a stronger graphics chip for Black Friday.

You can get the Asus ROG Strix G17 for $1,299 at B&H Photo Video. It offers an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 17.3-inch (2560 x 1440, 240Hz) display. For a large gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 GPU, $600 off of $1,899 is a steal.

In our Asus ROG Strix G17 review, we scored it 4 out of 5 stars. We complimented the ROG Strix G17 for its excellent overall performance, strong graphics, decent display, and clear audio wrapped in a perfectly priced package.

That perfectly priced package, however, was priced at $1,399 and came only with an RTX 4060. So for $100 cheaper and a bump to an RTX 4070, our praise is more relevant than ever.

Don't pass up a chance to snag a $1,299 gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 and a big 17.3-inch display. Get the Asus ROG Strix G17.

Overview: An RTX 4070 gaming laptop this cheap is not something you want to miss. The Asus ROG Strix G17 makes the deal sweeter with its quality display and audio.

Features: The Asus ROG Strix G17 is built with an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 8GB GPU, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 17.3-inch (2560 x 1440, 240Hz) display.

Release date: 2023

Reviews: We were shocked by the Asus ROG Strix G17's low price when it launched last year considering its higher-end CPU combined with an RTX 4060. Of course, that praise extends more so to this deal because of its cheaper price with bigger performance. We enjoyed the display and audio as well. However, the battery life is a bit low, the keyboard feels spongy, and the overall build is a little cheap.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★

Buy it if: You want strong mid-range graphics performance. You want a decently colorful display. You want an affordable package. You want some bangin' audio.

Don't Buy it if: You need a bright display. You need a long battery life. You want a chassis that doesn't feel cheap.
