Asus TUF Gaming F15 laptop with RTX 3060 on sale for 34% off

The Asus TUF Gaming F15 is a really intriguing option in the US$1,000 price bracket now that one of the best-performing RTX 3060 gaming laptops on the market has been lowered by more than US$500. Since it will likely be some time before truly affordable RTX 4000-powered gaming laptops are available, impatient players who are in desperate need of an upgrade can certainly take the plunge and purchase a budget-friendly gaming laptop with a mid-range dGPU like the RTX 3060, especially since one of these configurations has just gone on sale at a reputable US retailer. The Asus TUF Gaming F15 configuration with an Intel Core i7-12700H CPU and the previously mentioned Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card with a high TGP of 140 watts is presently available from the New York-based retailer B&H Photo Video for just US$985 including free delivery. The reasonably priced computer also includes a big 1TB NVMe SSD, 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 15-inch 144Hz Full-HD display. The Asus TUF Gaming F15 in this exact configuration typically sells for US$1,499, thus this gaming laptop deal gives savings of up to US$515 or 34% off the official MSRP. Back in March, we thoroughly examined a rather similar edition of this gaming laptop, and we discovered, for instance, that the Asus TUF Gaming F15 is one of the market's top RTX 3060 machines in terms of GPU performance. The two RAM slots and M.2 slots, which make this notebook incredibly simple to maintain and upgrade, were also features we enjoyed.

However, for those who can't wait for the arrival of RTX 4000-equipped gaming laptops in the US$1,000 range, the Asus TUF Gaming F15 is a fair option at a steeply discounted sale price of US$985.
