Is this a good deal? I have one at my local Best Buy for the $1355 price.

You can compare it with the deal which was posted just a few days ago. It got thumbs up when it was more expensive than this: https://slickdeals.net/f/18632482-asus-rog-strix-g16-16-fhd-165hz-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-hx-16gb-ram-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-1tb-ssd-eclipse-grey-open-box-1495-99?src=SDSearchv3&attrsrc=Thread%3AExpired%3ATrue%7CSearch%3AType%3Anormal%7CSearch%3ASort%3Arelevance%7CSearch%3AHideExpired%3Afalse
But like I've pointed out so many times, when other people post the same deal for less, it gets downvoted, like this one here. It is a good deal when you compare it to the previous price/post. The display is the only caveat, being inferior only when compared to other models or competitors but it's certainly not a bad one.

Agreed with Dr. W. This is a very good machine and deal. I don't think we have seen 5070 TIs much below 1500-1600 new and those were rare deals. ROG STrix G16 is also a very high quality machine in terms of the build and stuff. Screen gets bright, high refresh. Won't be AS pretty as some of the OLEDs, but also won't have any burn in issues so trade offs.
