$600 off puts this 18-inch ASUS gaming laptop with RTX 5070 graphics and a Ryzen 9 at $1,899.99
An 18-inch gaming laptop is a serious commitment to screen space, and this ASUS TUF Gaming model comes with a serious price cut. Newegg is selling the TUF Gaming A18 FA808PP-NB94 for $1,899.99, down $600 from the retailer's displayed $2,499.99 comparison price.
The configuration pairs AMD's Ryzen 9 8940HX with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB SSD. Its 18-inch display runs at 1920 by 1200 with a 144Hz refresh rate. That is a large canvas for games, though the resolution is lower than the sharper 2560 by 1600 panels found on some competing laptops.
The new laptop was available to add to the cart and was sold and shipped by Newegg when checked. The $600 saving compares the current price with Newegg's displayed reference price; it does not establish an all-time low. Prices and availability may change, so check the exact FA808PP-NB94 configuration before ordering.

A big screen and an RTX 5070 built for laptops
The RTX 5070 here is the Laptop GPU, not the desktop card of the same name. Newegg lists 8GB of dedicated video memory. Its actual frame rates will depend on the game, graphics settings, cooling and the power available to the GPU; a laptop's graphics chip should not be assumed to match the desktop version.
NVIDIA's RTX 50-series laptop GPUs support features including ray tracing and DLSS in compatible games. Upscaling and frame generation are tools to consider when a demanding game needs help running smoothly, but generated frames are not the same as native rendering performance.
The 18-inch, 16:10 display is rated for a 144Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB color coverage. The 1920 x 1200 resolution is useful context: there are more pixels here than on a 1080p screen, but buyers who prioritize fine detail on a large panel may prefer a higher-resolution option.

Ryzen 9 power, with memory and storage to consider
The Ryzen 9 8940HX has 16 cores, giving the laptop plenty of CPU resources for work alongside gaming. The listed 16GB of DDR5-5600 system memory is separate from the graphics card's 8GB of video memory. That system RAM should cover many everyday workloads, although buyers who keep heavy creative applications and games open together may want more.
Newegg lists two memory slots. Check the installed configuration and compatible parts before ordering a RAM upgrade. The 1TB PCIe SSD offers more starting space than a 512GB drive, but a handful of large games can still consume it quickly.

Connections and portability
This is a laptop for people who want a big screen they can move, rather than the smallest machine in a backpack. Newegg lists a weight of 5.95 pounds; factor in the power adapter when planning to carry it.
Connections include HDMI 2.1, two USB-C ports with DisplayPort support, three USB-A ports and wired Ethernet. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth are also listed. Newegg shows a one-year limited parts and labor warranty, and its extended holiday return policy applies to this listing when checked. An optional ONIMUSHA game promotion appears on the product page; check the retailer's terms and availability before counting on the extra.
