If you’re on the hunt for a portable yet powerful gaming laptop, you’re in luck. Best Buy is selling the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 for $1,199.99 during Black Friday week — a colossal savings of $400. We’ve loved every version of the the ROG Zephyrus G14 to hit the streets over the past few years, and this is a spectacular price for kit like this.
The machine weighs just 3.64 pounds. That’s downright featherweight for a gaming laptop. Most gaming rigs weigh six pounds or more and often stay parked at the desk as a result. In addition to the lightweight frame, it’s also packing a good amount of graphics firepower thanks to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, which can push the pedal to the metal even more in games that support Nvidia’s DLSS feature.
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 features an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. Given the hardware inside, you should be able to breeze through most games on the High or Ultra graphics presets depending on the intensity of the title. The 14-inch display has a resolution of 2560×1400, a refresh rate of 165Hz, and a brightness level of 500 eye-searing nits. That means the screen should be vibrant and gameplay should run smoothly.
This is a killer deal on a killer gaming notebook, so you best jump on it now before it’s gone forever.
