ROG Zephyrus G14: Asus releases new 14-inch gaming laptop in North America without GeForce RTX 5080

Hey OP - I just checked the Asus US site and I do see the 5080 SKU listed now. But damn, its 4800... yea I'm wondering if they were better off not listing it given I can't imagine ANYONE is paying almost 5K for a 5080 14inch + 1TB SSD laptop when just last year $4K got you a 5090 + 64GB RAM + 2TB in

Gaming Laptop for Non-Gamer

It depends on which gaming laptop we're talking about; personally I really like the thin & light gaming laptops, stuff like: HP Omen Transcend 14 Acer Predator Triton 14 Asus Zephyrus G14/G16 Lenovo Legion 7 PS - the ProArt P16 is just a black Zephyrus G16 with AMD instead of Intel😉

Looking for powerful laptop capabilities of 3d modelling and rendering

I would say look at the asus proart p16 or the asus rog zephyrus g16. They are both pretty professional looking and with ghelper(absolute must have) they can be tweaked to get really good battery or crush 3d tasks(you cant have both). The proart is basically just a more professional G16, they share

Decision part 2: Proart p16 or zephyrus g16

i feel you on this decision point, especially with CAD and engineering workloads where one wrong pick feels expensive. For your exact priorities, ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 (2025 Ryzen AI 9, RTX 5070 Ti) can be the better pick when rendering, simulation, and long compile sessions matter most than

My dad had promised me to get a gaming laptop for myself after boards

Only pay that much for a 4060, when the laptop has a great screen, and premium build. I bought a Zephyrus G16 4060 for 1.7L, Has a 2.6K OLED 240Hz screen, sleek asf only 1.5KG, looks like a MacBook on steroids. Lenovo is infamous for its cheap materials, go for ASUS ROG

For next gaming laptop ryzen 475hx or intel 386h?

ngl i've looked at both for portable gaming. the 890m on ryzen is nice but you're getting a 5070ti anyway so igpu barely matters when plugged in. for battery life the intel 386h actually wins at low loads - amd's 475hx draws more at idle. check the asus rog zephyrus g16 with intel - Gaming Laptop As
