RAM won't be a problem either. This Asus actually has DDR5 memory in it; 16GB of it. DDR5 memory isn't a huge benefit to games, but you gain a little boost of speed over DDR4 that will smooth out other tasks on the laptop.

This isn't a laptop that is trying to be extremely thin or anything. Asus' TUF line of laptops are about value, not aesthetics. It's fairly hefty, but that size gives you a huge screen and a full sized keyboard with a numpad. Both of those make this a good fit for school or work and gaming on the side, something the other gaming laptops on sale for Cyber Monday right now can't do as well.
