Asus ROG Zephyrus S (opens in new tab) for $1,249 ($549 off, Core i7/16GB of RAM/512GB SSD/GTX 1070)
While you won’t get a new RTX 20-series GPU, the GTX 1070 in the Zephyrus S can easily play most modern games at medium-to-high graphics settings. Along with its impressive graphics performance, we really like the Zephyrus’ sleek, sexy chassis and gorgeous 15.6-inch, 144-Hz display. Some folks might take fault with the forward position of the keyboard, but the ROG Zephyrus S’ high points more than make up for any potential frustrations.
