One of the best gaming laptops on the market is currently heavily discounted as part of a huge Best Buy back-to-school sale, and is equally great for taking notes in class or gaming with friends after homework.

That’s right, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 4060 GPU is on sale at Best Buy for $1,699That’s a good deal, cutting $300 off the price of this OLED gaming laptop, which normally costs $1,999.

Here at Tom’s Guide, we’ve long been fans of the G14 because it’s stylish and easy to carry, offers decent battery life for getting work done, and still packs enough power to play the best PC games at great frame rates.

You can read our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) review to see why we love this machine, especially for its beautiful 3K OLED display, great performance, and comfortable keyboard. It’s a laptop workhorse that gets it all done with aplomb, and is equally good as a terminal for jotting down notes, writing documents, writing code, or working on video projects.

And when the work is done, you can conveniently fire up Steam or the Epic Games Launcher and spend a few hours playing your favorite games. While this laptop can’t run everything at blazing speeds with maxed-out graphics settings, it’s powerful enough to run Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty at a good pace – especially if you take advantage of Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling for the best performance when gaming on the go.

Remember to bring the power cord, though, as this laptop will drain the battery when gaming. Our lab tests found that it lasted about an hour when unplugged for gaming and just over six hours when doing less demanding work. That’s enough for a light day of work or an afternoon of typing papers in cafes, but it’s a hassle if you want to carry this laptop around for a full day of work and gaming.

But lugging around the charger is a small price to pay for so much power and performance in such a sleek, affordable package. But act fast if you want to take advantage of this limited-time offer, and check out our full list of the best back-to-school laptop deals for more ways to save!
