This RTX 4060-powered, 240Hz Gigabyte laptop is absurdly cheap today

Gaming laptops are fantastic, but rarely affordable. You really have to hunt if you want to find a deal. But that’s what we’re here for! Today Woot has a 16-inch Gigabyte gaming laptop, complete with a Core i7 processor and RTX 4060 discrete graphics card, for $899.99. That’s barely a premium over a non-gaming laptop, and over $500 off its original price.

The Aorus 16’s 13th-generation Core i7 processor is among the best you can get in any laptop at the moment. And the Nvidia RTX 4060, while not the beefiest GPU ever, should be more than enough to handle even the latest 3D games. The screen is impressive too: with 2560×1600 resolution and 240Hz of refresh, it’s a notable upgrade over most laptops even at this size. The keyboard is big enough to include a number pad if that’s your jam.

A 1TB Gen4 SSD should be big and fast enough for anything you can throw at it, and the 16GB of DDR5 RAM is sufficient for multitasking in Windows. But if you want to upgrade either one, that’s an option — the Aorus 16’s beefy body (with a capacious 99 watt-hour battery) gives you access to to the removable M.2 and SO-DIMM slots. The Aorus 16 has plenty of ports, even dedicated Ethernet and a MicroSD card reader, so you should be good to go even without a dock.

Unlike Woot’s standard deals, this one is good for multiple days — there are four days left on the ticker at the time of writing. That being said, Woot’s overstock deals are limited by how many they have on hand, so if you’re ready to buy it’s best to place an order.
