When a huge sales event comes around like Black Friday is in the process of doing, it can sometimes be quite a challenge to sort the wheat from the chaff – while there are thousands of deals to review, I don't really want to point readers towards devices I can't personally vouch for.
That's why it's always fun to look out for the devices or products I've felt most positive about over the previous year, to see if any real stars are getting discounts. This deal is the perfect example, since it slashes the price of my favourite gaming laptop of 2025, and the T3 Award-winner in the same category.
The ROG Zephyrus G14 entered the market a few years ago as Asus' attempt to beat Razer at its own game, offering gamers a genuinely slimline gaming laptop that could basically compete with productivity laptops when you're not gaming. It excels on that front – on battery power you basically just have a Windows ultrabook on your hands, since the discrete GPU is basically turned off.
Plug it into a power outlet, though, and all of a sudden the G14 changes completely, with its laptop GPU becoming available for gaming, and the performance it offers really impressing. It's a 14-inch laptop with a gorgeous OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes it ideal for gaming without an external monitor, in my experience.
I think this is as convenient a gaming laptop as you can get, since it's genuinely easy to slot into your normal life when you need to do some web browsing or online shopping – something for which a monster 18-inch gaming laptop wouldn't be as convenient.
So, I'd heartily argue that you should grab this deal while it's live – and there's no clear timeline on when it'll disappear. I've seen gaming laptop deals blip out of existence this week already, so don't wait around in case stock runs out!
