Though it's not on sale just yet, Best Buy has this particular model listed at $1,450. For the money, you're getting some of the Zephyrus G14's top specs, too.
The configuration shown on Best Buy's online store comes packed with a third-generation AMD Ryzen 9-4900HS processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q graphics. Those are both at the top end of what ASUS offers with the Zephyrus G14. In addition, you'll get 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage space.
