The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is a slim 14-inch laptop perfect for gaming on the go. This laptop has a Ryzen 7 5800HS processor under the hood, with 8 cores and 16 threads running at up to 4.4 GHz during intense work.
The CPU pushes an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU to drive an LED-lit 144Hz 1080p display. By default, the laptop comes with 16 GB of DDR4-3200 memory and a 512 GB PCIe 3.0 SSD. The laptop also comes with a customizable LED panel that adorns the top of the lid. You can see this in action in our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review, but it’s worth noting that the model we tested came with a different CPU and GPU than this deal.
Aorus RTX 3070 Ti Gaming Laptop Plunges To Just $1,156 On Newegg
As anyone without unlimited funds can see, a $1,000 price drop can make a big difference in the appeal of a product. For his XE4 gaming laptop with Gigabyte’s Aorus 15 RTX 3070 Ti, at $2,299, On sale at Newegg for just $1,156 (with promo code ZIP11).
We tested a larger 17-inch model in the same laptop line back in February and weren’t entirely happy with it (I gave it 3.5 stars). But at the time, he was $2,450 for a model with the same GPU and CPU as the model currently being sold (with older DDR4 RAM).
I found the speakers to be lacking and the display not very bright. And it wouldn’t be surprising if those shortcomings carried over to the smaller 15-inch model he sells today. Performance is good though, and the 15-inch has the same core components and should perform similarly.
If you’re looking for a powerful gaming laptop without stepping up to something bigger and much more expensive, the Aorus 15 XE4 is hard to catch at $1,156 after Newegg’s ZAP11 promo code.
