The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has long been a Verge-favorite gaming laptop, and we consider it to be the very best one that you can buy. This year, the lineup became even more powerful and spec-packed while still retaining the low-profile and portable 14-inch design that initially drew us to it.

Normally $2,399.99, the discounted price of $2,049.99 at Best Buy gets you the model that features a 2,880 x 1,800 OLED screen at 120Hz with G-Sync, AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti graphics chip, 32GB of 7,500MHz DDR5 RAM, and 1TB of storage. It’s not particularly tough to find a gaming laptop with these specs. However, I think it’s a feat to cram them all into a laptop that’s small and light enough to easily bring on trips, and to deliver it at a price that’s not too high considering what you’re getting.
