Deal | RTX 5080-powered Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with Ryzen AI 9 HX and 2TB SSD gets huge 37% open-box discount

Decent gaming laptop deals are more or less rare these days as high RAM and SSD costs jack up prices of pretty much all current models. Nonetheless, gamers who can live with an open retail box might still be able to make a bargain, as illustrated by an ongoing offer for the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14.

To be more exact, Best Buy is currently selling the white Zephyrus G14 with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and soldered 32GB memory as well as a 2TB SSD for $2,014 including free shipping in many locations. This configuration also sports the quick Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 dGPU with 16GB GDDR7 VRAM and usually sells for over $3,000, which means that deal hunters can save a substantial amount of money by opting for this open-box unit in "excellent" condition.

That being said, it's certainly worth checking out our comprehensive Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review before making such an expensive purchase. We've tested a very similar SKU and praised the fantastic aluminum chassis as well as the beautiful 2.8K OLED screen with 120Hz, G-Sync and vibrant colors.

On the flip side, the RAM is soldered and therefore not upgradable later on. Buyers will also have to endure permanent PWM flickering of the OLED display and a rather limited HDR peak brightness. Due to the high-performance components like the aforementioned RTX 5080 and AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX, this 14-inch gaming laptop also gets very loud under full load. Nonetheless, this is a noteworthy deal in times of skyrocketing memory and SSD prices.
