A gaming laptop with the RTX 5070 Ti might be the sweet spot for many gaming enthusiasts these days, especially since cheaper RTX 5070-equipped notebooks come with a rather paltry 8GB of VRAM. Therefore, shoppers who've been looking for a corresponding deal for a 14-inch machine might want check out a new offer for the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14.
To be more exact, the good-looking machine from Asus has dropped to $1,999 at Best Buy, which is now $400 or 17% below the official MSRP. Most importantly, this results in the lowest price we've seen thus far for this AMD-powered variant with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with 12GB GDDR7 VRAM as well as 32GB of soldered LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB SSD. Free shipping and store pickup is available, depending on the location.
Before spending almost $2,000 on a new gaming laptop, prospective buyers should make sure to check out our comprehensive written review and watch our test video on the ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) on YouTube:
To summarize, we were quite satisfied with the gaming performance of the RTX 5070 Ti model that's on sale here, and it should be a sensible choice for most gamers since the better-equipped RTX 5080 SKU currently sells for a whopping $3,169. In any case, the 120Hz OLED screen with G-Sync is great for gaming as well as video and photo editing, and we also praised the battery life, well-made chassis and awesome speakers.
On the other hand, the ROG Zephyrus G14 gets fairly loud under load, while the OLED display flickers due to PWM. Furthermore, the memory is soldered and HDR brightness could be a tad higher for our taste. Still, this is a decent buying opportunity for users who are in the market for a portable 14-inch gaming laptop that can game and deal with many other workloads that benefit from a gorgeous OLED panel and quick CPU/GPU combo.
