This is the gaming laptop deal to beat: the new Asus Zephyrus G14 is already $150 off
The first ever discount on the latest G14
If you're looking for a slick gaming laptop, one of the best options on the market right now has to be the latest Asus Zephyrus G14. This superb machine has just received a new iteration for 2024 - and we've just spotted its first-ever price cut.
Best Buy currently has the mid-range RTX 4060 configuration for just $1,449 (was $1,599), which is a superb price considering this is a shiny new gaming laptop. Alongside a powerful GPU, this config includes a Ryzen 9 8945HS chipset, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD, which is plenty of power for all but the most intensive of applications.
We haven't reviewed the latest Asus G14 yet here at TechRadar but our sister-site PCGamer gave this model a glowing score, praising its new all-metal chassis and 120HZ OLED display. The latest model is a more premium machine versus its predecessor, directly competing with the likes of the Razer Blade 14. It does, however, feature slightly weaker gaming performance due to the graphics card receiving less power draw - a change that's proven divisive in some circles.
If you want the best possible value, another option could be to wait for the older 2023 model to go on sale again at Best Buy. Currently, it's sitting at $1,599 at the retailer, but we've seen it go for as little as $999. Bang for your buck, this one is a great option - although you miss out on the OLED display and premium redesign.
