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

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.»
