ASUS' new ROG Zephyrus G14 is now listed at Best Buy (opens in new tab), giving us our first indication of U.S. pricing for the powerful gaming laptop. 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.
This model also opts for the 1080p variant of the 14-inch display, though it's unclear if this is the 60Hz or 120Hz panel.
