Not a great time for buying some of our favorite PC components with all the high prices and shortages, but if you're still on the lookout for an all-in-one gaming and work solution, then you might want to consider a gaming laptop over a larger desktop PC. A powerful laptop that you can use for both work and a bit of play, Gigabyte's Aero X16 is now just $1389.99 at Best Buy, down $610 from the $1999.99 list price. This is one of the best prices for an RTX 5070 laptop, even more so, considering the large amount of RAM and 1TB SSD.

Inside the Gigabyte Aero X16 in this deal are the following components: an Nvidia RTX 5070 graphics card with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM, an AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (8-core, 16-thread) processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD for storage. This is a larger laptop that sports a 16-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. That's a sharp image on display that size, plus you also have an up to 165Hz refresh rate for incredibly smooth motion while gaming.

In our review of the Gigabyte Aero X16, we found the laptop to be a well-rounded offering from Gigabyte, with plenty of gaming prowess thanks to the dedicated RTX 5070 graphics card, solid hardware choices, and a competitive price. This laptop is suitable for gaming and daily productivity tasks. During testing, the Aero X16 had an excellent battery life that lasted longer than the average workday, and came top compared to other similar spec laptops that we've had the chance to test.
