The Asus Zephyrus G14 spec we really wanted after our review is now on sale for $1,500

Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 | AMD Radeon RX 6700S | 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD | 16GB DDR5 RAM | 120Hz | 1600p resolution | $1,649.99$1,499.99 at Best Buy (save $150)(opens in new tab)This is a model of gaming laptop that I'm a big fan of. It's sleek, well-built, performs great, and it's jammed with all the latest next-gen technology. However, the model we looked at for review was a touch too pricey, and left us wanting for a cheaper option. Here's that cheaper option, and with a tasty discount, too. Instead of the RX 6800S we reviewed, this machine comes with an RX 6700S and only 16GB of DDR5 memory, and is a much savvier machine for it.

The ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop from Asus is one of my favourite chassis in the gaming laptop game today. I love the look of it, the quality, its size—but most importantly the performance it's able to get out of the components squished inside it. The G14 also tends to fall on the cheaper side of the equation to, say, the latest Razer kit.

Well, I say that, but the 2022 model(opens in new tab) I reviewed, with an AMD Radeon RX 6800S GPU and 32GB of DDR5 memory, was a little too far on the pricey side for me. It cost around £2,000, or roughly $2,500, though I still can't find a comparable US model—a similar model with 16GB of RAM goes for $2,129. At the end of that review, I lamented that this machine would be absolutely awesome if Asus could just drop that price tag with «a scaled-back GPU» and «just 16GB of RAM.»

And hey, that's exactly what we're looking at over at Best Buy right now: an identical Zephyrus G14 2022 model with an RX 6700S GPU and 16GB of DDR5 RAM for $1,500(opens in new tab), down from $1,650.

In removing the 32GB of DDR5, I would guess Asus has already slimmed down the price tag
