The ROG Zephyrus G14 remains one of the better compact all-purpose laptops that you can buy today, especially if you're in the market for a sub-15-inch device. This generation is available with much more powerful hardware than in the past, but that comes with a steep price as well. Mid-range configurations are still the better-value buys imo, but even with those you'll have to accept that this computer runs hot with demanding gaming and work sessions. There's just no way around physics.
