Amazon still has one Cyber Monday gaming laptop deal up for grabs

UPDATE: Dec. 3, 2024, 10:30 a.m. EST We’ve checked all of the featured deals for pricing and availability.

Amazon was the dark horse of this year’s Cyber Weekend laptop deals, undercutting other tech retailers when it came to discounts on popular Apple MacBooks and Microsoft Surface devices. The gaming laptop deals it offered on Cyber Monday weren’t quite as competitive as the ones available at Best Buy, which had a better selection of models at a variety of price points. (That included a $480 Lenovo LOQ, the cheapest model anywhere.) However, Amazon’s options were still worth considering: I looked them all up on the price-tracking site CamelCamelCamel, and most of them were sitting at record lows.

Why we like it

Designed to offer “long-lasting value,” this year’s TUF Gaming F16 features a high-performance 13th-gen Intel Core i7 HX series CPU and RTX 4060 graphics. (Translation: It’s got some decent mid-range power.) It also has an MUX switch and support for Nvidia Advanced Optimus, meaning you can swap to its integrated GPU for lower frame rates/better battery life when you’re not using it for gaming. It sports an RGB keyboard, Dolby Atmos speakers, and a 165Hz 16-inch display with thin bezels and a 16:10 aspect ratio; it’ll look huge, though it may feel a tad dim since it’s only been rated at 250 nits of brightness. Notably, Asus says it’s been tested to meet a “military-grade” durability standard. If you’re cool hauling around its five-pound frame, you don’t have to worry about it getting annihilated by the occasional bump when you play on the go.

Mashable Deals

At an all-time low of $999.99 (normally $1,299.99), the TUF Gaming F16 is currently $100 cheaper on Amazon than it is on the Asus website.
