Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 — What you need to know

Price history: Like most gaming laptops the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is available with a range of internal components which has a direct impact on its price. We've seen top-of-the-line models retail for as much as $1,899, but this specific model was on sale for $1,199 during the holiday sales last year. It subsequently dropped down to $1,099 back in March, and it's now hit $999 which is its lowest price ever.

Review consensus: In our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review, we labeled the laptop a "portable powerhouse" and praised for it "delivering a potent blend of performance, portability and power efficiency" while noting that "it can't match the outlandish battery life of its predecessors, but the brighter screen is worth it." We did have a few performance hiccups during our testing, and the 720p webcam made us grumble, but there's a reason this laptop tops our list of the best gaming laptops. It thoroughly earns its Editor's Choice seal of approval.

Buy it if: You want a solid gaming laptop for a reasonable price. It's also a great pick if you value style as the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 sports a generally sleek aesthetic that is very easy on the eye. It's also worth considering if you want strong battery life as we managed more than 10 hours on a single charge in our testing.

Don't buy if it: You demand top-of-the-line specs. This Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is well-equipped to play loads of the best PC games, but it's not the most powerful option on the market. Of course, if you want more power that will come with an increase in the overall price you'll have to pay.
