First shown off a year ago at CES 2025, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) was one of the finest premium multimedia/portable gaming laptops of 2025. In the absence of new GPUs from Nvidia/AMD in the latest crop of gaming/multimedia laptops revealed at CES 2026, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) remains an easy recommendation.
So, if you are on the hunt for a portable gaming laptop that isn’t lacking in performance, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) is a stellar option, and this is a good time to buy one. You can currently buy the ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) in “Open Box Excellent” condition at Best Buy for just $1,661.99, a $338 price cut on the $1,999.99 list price.
Specs-wise, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 on sale is powered by the 12-core Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU, an RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU, 1 TB of storage, and a 14-inch 1800p OLED display. Moreover, the laptop boasts 32 GB of LPDDR5X-8000 memory, which is quite a big deal in the continually worsening memory market.
Finally, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) features Wi-Fi 7 and a 73 Wh battery.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) has practically no major issues
We have extensively reviewed the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with both the RTX 5080 and the RTX 5070 Ti and found the laptop to be fantastic. From the build quality and inputs to the OLED display and performance, the ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) covers almost all the bases. For instance, the 2,880 x 1,800 OLED display impressed us with its 120 Hz refresh rate, excellent contrast, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and good brightness. Our real issues with the panel were the PWM flickering and somewhat limited HDR max brightness.
Similarly, we were also quite satisfied with the performance of our RTX 5070 Ti-equipped ROG Zephyrus G14. Armed with 12 GB of VRAM and a TDP of 110 W, the RTX 5070 Ti proved more than enough for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 60 FPS QHD gaming in titles like Cyberpunk 2077.
A side effect of high performing internals inside a portable chassis is the added thermal load. While the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) manages the heat well, the fans do get very loud under heavy loads. So, you will need to use headphones for gaming.
All in all, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with an RTX 5070 Ti for just $1,661.99 in “Open Box Excellent” condition is a pretty good deal.
