A gorgeous small form-factor gaming laptop
The G14 sat at the top of our best gaming laptops buyer’s guide for a good few years due to its absolutely gorgeous design. At the time, it was one of the first truly portable gaming laptops that had enough power to run games with respectable frame rates at higher graphical settings.
While it’s true that other brands have been catching up these past few years, the G14 is still one of the best-looking gaming laptops, in our opinion, with an aesthetic that doesn’t scream ‘gamer’ but lets you know it’s a premium laptop.
This particular model isn’t the entry-level version either, with a relatively potent combination of a Ryzen 9-6900HS chipset and RX 6700S graphics card. These specs are a little older now - which is why the laptop has been discounted so heavily - but they’re still absolutely great for what you’re paying. For context, you’re going to have more than enough power to get 60FPS at the 1660p native resolution for the G14’s display and more than enough for running games at Ultra settings on 1080p.

So overall, this Asus Zephyrus G14 gets the thumbs up if you’re shopping for a gaming laptop in the $1,000 range. For those who want some cheaper alternatives, check out some more recommendations from our maincheap gaming laptop dealspage, which is updated bi-weekly with new options.
