Pick up a giant 18-inch RTX 5080-powered Asus gaming laptop from Best Buy and save $600 — the ROG Strix G18 also comes with 32GB of memory and a 2TB SSD

(Image credit: Future) Laptops have long been a more expensive way to game, especially compared to a desktop gaming PC, for comparable components. But with the ever-rising costs of PC hardware in the current economic climate, it's a lot easier and now often cheaper to get a powerful prebuilt gaming PC or ready-made gaming laptop. Today's deal is on a large, 18-inch Asus ROG Strix G18 gaming laptop powered by an RTX 5080, now reduced by $600 to $2,699.99. It's still an expensive piece of kit, but you are getting a somewhat portable form factor and a good amount of memory and storage included in the specs for this large gaming laptop. ● Check out this deal at Best Buy Stewart Bendle is a deals and coupon writer at Tom's Hardware.
