ASUS with its ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 wants to show that a fast gaming laptop can be designed with a minimal size. As we know, it's rare for gaming laptops under 15.6 inches these days. Whereas about 1 decade ago, DELL with its Alienware released a netbook-sized laptop which was quite in demand in the market. What's more, a small gaming laptop allows designers or content creators to work more optimally with a fast, compact laptop.
After years, ASUS has finally presented a fast gaming laptop with a size of 14 inches. Plus, its slim design makes it easier to store in the bag when the user carries it. So, besides that, what makes gamers have to look at this one gaming laptop? On this occasion, we will review the latest gaming laptop from ASUS which deserves a look at its features and advantages. For those of you who are curious, follow this article to the end.
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 price
ASUS ROG is a gaming line created for ASUS to differentiate from business-class products and ordinary consumers. However, for the ROG Zephyrus G14 series, ASUS "allows" this product to be used for other users, from designers to content creators. In addition, this laptop wants to unite AMD fanboys with NVIDIA so they can enjoy the performance of both camps simultaneously.
The CPU uses the AMD Ryzen Mobile 4000 series which is designed with the Zen 2 architecture and fabricated with 7nm FinFet. As for the GPU, this ASUS gaming laptop is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060. The specifications are very interesting, how about in terms of price? For the version with RTX and Ryzen 9 you can take it home for Rp. 35,000,000, while for those of you who want to have a cheaper version, namely with Ryzen 7 and GTX 1650 Ti, you can spend Rp . 24,000,000 .
The Fastest Performance for a 14-inch Gaming Laptop
As we explained earlier that 14-inch gaming laptops are very rare, therefore, this gaming laptop from ASUS is arguably the fastest 14-inch gaming laptop. This is not only the rarity of 14-inch laptops, but also the performance produced by the combination of the AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile Series CPU that already uses the latest architecture, Zen 2 and also the 7nm fabrication method.
Moreover, powered by AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS with 8 cores and 16 threads and a clock speed of up to 4.3 GHz, this laptop is certainly capable of multitasking and heavy applications. In addition, the GPU also uses NVIDIA RTX 2060 which already supports the latest ray-tracing technology.
There are three modes that cover the performance of this laptop, including Turbo, Performance, and Silent modes. Of course all three have different performances. When tested using AAA games, all three have significant results. In the game Far Cry 5 Ultra, Turbo mode is able to get a max fps of up to 98.0.
Precisely for the performance mode is able to get a slightly higher fps. For Silent mode, the resulting fps is very far compared to the two. Then, for the minimum and average fps, Silent only got 39.7 fps and 51.3 fps for the average. Whereas Turbo and Performance modes have the same average fps, and Turbo mode wins for minimum fps.
Sleek Design with Unique Features
In addition to showing off performance, of course the design of this laptop deserves to be looked at. From the appearance, this laptop is not similar to ASUS gaming laptops in general, which has a silhouette like a gaming laptop and a black color. ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 appears with a minimalist design accompanied by an animated backlit called AniMe on the body that you can personalize.
This gaming laptop from ASUS comes in two elegant color variants, namely Moonlight White and Eclipse Grey. Gaming laptops with minimalist designs seem to be getting more and more popular. 2 years ago Gigabyte released the Gigabyte AERO and MSI with its MSI Raider. The Zephyrus and Strix series have also started carrying a minimalist style. However, this 14-inch Zephyrus series wants to display a cool gaming laptop but doesn't want to show its gaming identity too much. Therefore, this gaming laptop is also suitable for content creators and designers.
Conclusion
This laptop has just been released and is very fresh. Not only does it offer fast performance in the 14-inch laptop class, this laptop also offers a minimalist design. For those of you who don't want to have a gaming laptop with a distinctive silhouette, this laptop is the right choice. Moreover, there is AniMe that you can customize.
