ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 and G15
The ROG Zephyrus G14 and G15 are designed to be the most compact gaming laptop ever with its screen bezels shrunk to the extreme, having 85% screen to body ratio, both the G14 and G15 have 14″ and 15″ displays, respectively. Besides that, the narrow bezel IPS display could be either Pantone-certified WQHD@60Hz or FHD@120Hz. The displays even adopt Pro Art TruColor Technology which passes through stringent factory pre-calibrated process and guarantees that Pantone Color validation requirements were met.
On the exterior design, the Zephyrus features the Ergo Lift Design, which can open up to 140° and tilt the bottom of the laptop slightly for improved ergonomics, enhanced audio acoustics, and better cooling. The surface of the keyboard deck is made from magnesium alloy with a matte finish to prevent fingerprints and for a better aesthetic. Furthermore, the exterior piece of the case features what ASUS called the AniMe Matrix with is an LED panel blended onto the exterior, whereby users can easily personalize as to show pc info, equalizer, and much more.
As for internals, the cooling has been revised with ultra-thin fins, self-cleaning capabilities, and increased fan blades for airflow to keep up the performance this device can output, packed in this small form factor. The laptop is powered by AMD Ryzen 4000 H-Series Processors complemented by a selection of graphics cards, up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060.
