SAVE $500:The Taste of Future Sister-in-law (2023)Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (AMD Ryzen 8945HS, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) is on sale for just $1,099.99 at Best Buy as of Jan. 29. That's 31% off its $1,599.99 MSRP, $100 lower than its Cyber Monday deal, and the lowest price we've ever seen it hit.

The 2024 model was one of the best gaming laptops we tested last year, largely in part because it looks a lot like an Apple computer (while packing enough power for Triple-A games): thin, light, and sleek in aluminum. "[It] has a MacBook Pro-esque design, allowing it into blend into office spaces for work," wrote former Tech Editor Kim Gedeon, "but it transforms into a gaming beast by night."
As of Jan. 29, one configuration of the ROG Zephyrus G14 is on sale at its best price to date. The Platinum White model with an AMD Ryzen 8945HS processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics, 16GB of memory, and 1TB of storage is marked down to just $1,099.99 at Best Buy — a 31% discount on its $1,599.99 sticker price, and a $100 one-up of its Cyber Monday deal from December.
SEE ALSO: The best gaming laptops in 2025 for every budgetDesign aesthetics aside, Gedeon was also impressed by the ROG Zephyrus G14's ample port selection, detailed 3K OLED display, springy RGB keyboard, great speakers, and solid mid-range performance. Overall, she rated it at 4.3/5, knocking it down a few tenths of a point for its slightly dim screen and tendency to get hot underneath. (That's your main trade-off for such a slim machine.) Its battery life also kind of sucks — it lasted an hour and 17 minutes in our testing — but that's hardly abnormal for a gaming laptop.
For those who want slightly better graphics and more memory, an RTX 4070 model with 32GB of RAM was on sale for $1,649.99 at Best Buy, or 18% off. (We haven't tested that one.)
A quick FYI that a newer ROG Zephyrus G14 with a next-gen AMD CPU, GeForce RTX 50-series graphics, and a new cooling setup is set to launch sometime later this year, having debuted at CES 2025. It'll probably be a really nice machine, but it also probably won't cost anywhere near $1,100: At the time of writing, two configurations were "coming soon" to Best Buy for $2,199.99 and $2,999.99.
