It wouldn’t be Black Friday without some great Black Friday laptop deals, like the one we just spotted at Best Buy.
Right now the Asus ROG Flow X13 2-in-1 gaming laptop is just $999 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). That’s a serious $600 off a 13.4-inch gaming laptop that comes with great specs. Oh, and did we mention it can be folded into a tablet? Try to find it for under $1,000.
In our review of the Asus ROG Flow X13, we were very impressed. Its thin and light design makes it a surprisingly portable gaming laptop, and the 2-in-1 design adds another level of versatility. Also, the display is sharp and the keyboard is comfortable. Overall, it’s hard to find a gaming laptop this good in a 13-inch form factor, let alone at this price point.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t problems. For a GPU, the Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti is relatively underpowered, so while you can play many modern games, don’t expect maximum settings. And the machine gets a bit hot, although we found in our review that it’s not a problem unless the laptop is using 100% of its power.
However, if you don’t need a high-end gaming laptop, this is an amazing deal. Finding that much horsepower under the hood is a tough asking for many laptops, and the fact that the ROG Flow X13 now costs just $999 makes it a killer deal. Add in impressive features like a 1TB SSD and 2-in-1 touchscreen design, and I can almost guarantee you won’t find a laptop this versatile – and this loaded – for this cheap.
However, if this isn’t quite the laptop for you, there’s good news. Our Black Friday deals hub is up and running, with great deals from around the web. There’s also this deal on a Dell XPS 13 for $999, which is another killer portable laptop for under $1,000.
