Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review: A compact gaming laptop, is still a rare breed

This set the benchmark in 2024 for gaming laptops, and the 2025 edition of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is primed to do the same. It is nigh impossible to find competition, in a similarly compact form factor, that can deliver these high levels of gaming performance. The generational hardware updates have taken things a couple of steps forward, but then again, you’ve to keep in mind the substantial price tag as well as the fact that powerful compact laptops do have some trade-offs otherwise. Two sides to any coin, as things are, but Asus’ focused approach seems to have mostly worked.
