In our full review, we felt it needed "a little more time in the oven to really challenge for the throne." And that's held by the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 right now, though you'll have to pay a lot more for it at $1,599. And if you're hoping to double it up as a day-to-day laptop rather than just gaming, we said "I believe that Asus is on the way to greatness here. It’s a beautiful laptop with far more attention paid to how you use this as an actual laptop, rather than just stuffing it with prime power and compromising the usability."
We praised it for its attention to design, ergonomics and experience in comparison to other gaming laptops. Though we felt for the price it fell short on performance and battery life. Of course, that statement was made at $1,999 and we're talking about just $1,079 right now. So, if you're looking for a great value, yet still premium gaming laptop, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 can provide. And at its lowest price ever, we'd grab it fast.
