I was surprised by just how well this thin and lightweight gaming laptop, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025), performed – but you'll have to endure its sizzling temperatures

Unlike many gaming laptops, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) is a truly portable device, thanks to its compact dimensions and lightweight construction. More remarkable is the fact that performance hasn’t been sacrificed. What has been, though, is cooling, since despite the loud fans, the body still gets incredibly hot in places. More elite rivals handle their power better without asking for much more money, while some cheaper alternatives aren’t that far behind in terms of performance. But if portability is a priority and you can stand the heat, the Zephyrus G14 (2025) is a fine choice.
