As you may have heard, memory is expensive right now, and that’s affecting a whole lot of products even beyond DDR5 memory kits and PCIe SSDs. That doesn’t have to put a damper on your ambitions to upgrade your PC setup: monitors, peripherals, routers, cooling hardware and more are all largely unaffected. But you’re also not without options when it comes to buying a PC. Right now, we’re offering discounts on a wide range of PC hardware, and yes, that includes laptops, mini-PCs, and prebuilt desktop PCs. You know, stuff with memory in it. And for full transparency, those are not just discounts but discounts. In some instances, the lowest-ever prices we’ve ever offered for the products in question. And yes, we’re offering them at reduced prices in the midst of this memory shortage.
Let’s say you’re looking to get started with PC gaming, and you’d like a budget-friendly laptop. Right now, the 2025 TUF Gaming F16 laptop is available for $999.99 (USD), a price that’s 23% off MSRP and just a whisker away from its lowest-ever price on Amazon. For that price, you get an Intel Core i5 processor, a GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU, a 165Hz 1920×1200 display, 16GB of DDR5, and a 512GB SSD. Want even more power? The ROG Strix G16 configuration with an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, 32GB of DDR5, a 1TB SSD, and a luscious ROG Nebula 2.5K 240Hz display can be yours for a 15% discount for a limited time. Again, not quite its lowest price ever, but also a significant discount in a season when competitors are raising prices.
How about a prebuilt desktop PC available at its lowest-ever price on Amazon? We’re offering discounted prices on a variety of configurations of the ROG G700 desktop. For easy upgradeability, we designed this system with many “off-the-shelf” ASUS components, including the motherboard and graphics card. The chassis is also designed to provide easy access for upgrades and maintenance, and we built it with extra elbow room on the inside so that your future upgrades are likely to fit with fuss. One configuration pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. We’re bucking market trends with its price: for a limited time, we’re shaving $100 (USD) off its price tag and throwing in a copy of Resident Evil Requiem to boot. For $1,799.99 (USD) total, that’s a whole lot of PC gaming that could be yours right now.
Maybe you’re shopping for a slim-and-trim PC to upgrade your entertainment center, or maybe bring PC gaming into a smaller space like an apartment or dorm room? Select ROG NUC configurations are available for their best price ever, too. We’ve sliced a neat $150 (USD) off the price of two configurations, one with a GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU and one with a GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU. These compact PCs run cool, offer loads of connectivity, and play all the latest games. And importantly for 2026, they don’t skimp on memory, shortage or no shortage.
We get it. If you were hoping to hop online and snag a DDR5 memory kit for building a new PC, none of these deals solve that problem for you. Like you, we’re looking forward to the situation easing. But while we don’t control the prices of DDR5 memory kits, we do control the prices of our own laptops, mini-PCs, and prebuilt desktop PCs. And today, we’re able to offer them at tangible discounts. We can’t predict the future, so we can’t promise that these prices will continue throughout the year. So if you’re in need of a gaming PC in 2026, it’s worth your time to look at some options today.
