While the G16 takes things up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, the G14 sticks with its AMD roots as it has done for the last two years. The newly announced AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS is the crown jewel here, but the biggest change comes up top. I first saw Asus’s Nebula HDR Mini LED display on the Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 last year – and it was a revelation. While the same tech was injected into 2023’s G14, I was disappointed to find it was a watered down version.
Asus heard me crying. We’re still not up to the 1,100 peak brightness of the M16’s Nebula, but with an OLED panel, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and 3K resolution this is still a major step up.
Asus has hit Razer where it hurts here. The recipe looks familiar – a unibody design keeping things slick and stylish while offering a high end display and the latest components, it all sounds very Sneki. While we don’t have any specifics yet, it’s safe to assume the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 could well be a lot cheaper than the Blade 14 – if previous years’ releases and that classic Razer tax are anything to go by.
The expensive, heavy LED matrix lid is gone, the whole unit looks incredibly sleek, and there’s still some upgrades under the hood. This is one Asus gaming laptop I’m particularly excited to get my hands on in 2024.
