I once said the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is the only gaming laptop I’d buy – and Best Buy’s lowest price offer might make that a reality

I’ve tested and reviewed a wide range of gaming laptops over the years, and there are very few that I’d consider purchasing for personal use, as the value often isn’t where I’d want it to be. When it comes to the best gaming laptops, their weight is often a massive dealbreaker, and it’s unfortunately a necessity to accommodate hardware components and ensure there’s sufficient cooling.

We’re also in a period where the PC hardware market is unstable, with prices for RAM reaching unprecedented levels, and all hardware across the board being impacted, whether that’s via shortages or price hikes. It’s all because of the memory crisis, and there isn’t much that can be done to combat it on the consumer side.

However, there’s one in particular that I’ve tested and lauded as the only gaming laptop I would consider buying. That laptop is the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 available on Best Buy for $1,899.99 (was $2,399.99). It’s easily one of the best gaming laptops I’ve ever used, and it’s equipped with Nvidia‘s RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB of RAM, and AMD‘s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor – and to top it off, an OLED 120Hz 3K display.

The design of the ROG Zephyrus G14 is easily my favorite among all of the gaming laptops I’ve tested, with a sleek and smooth chassis containing hardware powerful enough to play games like Cyberpunk 2077 at max resolution above 60fps with DLSS enabled, as you can see in the benchmarks below.

This is the closest you can get to buying a high-end desktop gaming PC or laptop, without spending rent money. It’s also at its lowest price ever on Best Buy, thanks to the Presidents’ Day sale, and it’s safe to say I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.
