Now, this is a genuinely awesome cheap gaming laptop deal. If you've been after something that crams as much as is possible into a laptop for below the four-figure mark, then this laptop deal is up there with the best you can get for that price tag. This ASUS laptop offers an immediate way into ray-tracing gaming and has some beefy specs to support that premium graphics card - something hitherto as rare as a unicorn. Thus, this laptop deal at Newegg is great value - but don't delay as it ends at the end of the day on Friday (PT).
For what it's worth if you're looking for a home or work laptop at the moment you may as well go for a gaming one, we think: their capabilities are excellent; they're pretty future proof; have great component makeups offering more versatility; and represent great value for money. This - and one other - laptop deal is included in Newegg's broader selection of daily, regular and ongoing deals, by the way so it's worth a poke around there to see if there's anything that tickles your fancy.
The main laptop deal in question is on an ASUS TUF 15.6-inch model. This has an RTX 2060 graphics card, a Ryzen R7-3750H processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD - it's discounted by a massive $310 (23%!) and is down to just $999.99 right now. That is probably one of the top sets of components you can get for under $1000, anywhere. However, remember that this deal ends Friday (midnight PT).
This deal proves that with patience, luck and some trawling around retailers, it is possible to get a quality cheap gaming laptop deal under $1000. On top of that, and because of the value that they offer, both these machines would give the best gaming laptops a run for their money.
If you have a bit more budget to play with, and like the look of the latest 10th generation of Intel processors - so bagging some extra future proof-ness - you could go for this MSI GL64 laptop which is priced at $1,299.99. It's not listed as having discount per se, but the value it offers, with one of the very latest gaming components thrown in, is undeniable. It has an Intel i7-10750H processor, an RTX 2060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and offers larger storage with a 1TB HDD + 512GB SSD.
