Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced that the 2024 Zephyrus G14 is now available for pre-order in Canada on the ASUS eShop, Best Buy.ca and Amazon.ca, with availability in-store on February 23, 2024.
The redesigned Zephyrus G14 features a new CNC-machined aluminum chassis, a customizable Slash Lighting array, and now comes in a new Platinum White colour option as well as Eclipse Grey. It’s powered by advanced AI accelerated silicon from AMD and NVIDIA and has an OLED ROG Nebula Display enriched by G-SYNC capabilities that help bring graphics to life, says ASUS. It’s also equipped with efficient cooling features like tri-fan technology, and liquid metal.
The 2024 Zephyrus G14 has been completely redesigned. The all-aluminum CNC-machined chassis helps reduce weight while also increasing rigidity and chassis space. This, says Asus, allows for an edge-to-edge keyboard design, as well as the inclusion of larger and louder speakers with superior bass response down to 100 Hz. The speakers are 25% larger than the previous generation, with a 47% volume increase for a more immersive audio experience. There are also larger individual keycaps and a larger touchpad for improved typing, precision scrolling, and fluid gaming.
There’s also a new LED lighting array on the lid. This Slash Lighting array follows a diagonal across the lid of the machine, with animated sequences and the ability to fully customize a unique pattern. The laptop is ultra-thin and lightweight, measuring 1.59 cm (0.63”) and weighing 3.31 lbs (1.5 Kg).
Naturally, the redesigned laptop also integrates AI feature. Featuring up to an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor, it offers support for AMD Ryzen AI, with support for Windows Studio effects productivity tools like automatic framing, eye-contact correction, and advanced background effects in video calls. The Zephyrus G14 also features up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU, with access to advanced features like DLSS 3.5, Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction for top-of-the-line visuals and gaming responsiveness in demanding titles.
With dedicated AI support for tools like Omniverse and Stable diffusion, you can skip long queues in the cloud and generate images locally in a few seconds. Video-editing and 3D-rendering projects are more than twice as fast with AI acceleration, all while consuming less power for longer battery life. With full access to the latest AI-accelerated technologies, this hardware can easily handle the latest creation software and games. The 2024 Zephyrus G14 ships with three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, providing access to a library of hundreds of games.
As the first OLED panel to grace a ROG gaming laptop, this computer’s screen boasts 3K resolution. Through a partnership with Samsung and NVIDIA, these OLED panels with G-SYNC support offer fabulous motion clarity, even if framerates momentarily dip, says Asus.
The display features an aspect ratio of 16:10, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500, and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. It offers 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space and a Delta E accuracy of less than 1, making the panel equally capable as the primary screen for content creators who demand colour accuracy in their work. For gamers, the fast 0.2ms gray-to-gray response time virtually eliminates ghosting and provides a clean image possible with every refresh of the screen.
With the latest improvements in ROG Intelligent Cooling, the computer has performance liquid metal thermal compound on the CPU and the introduction of 2nd Generation Arc Flow Fans that get heat moving efficiently out of the chassis. Tri-fan technology, a system that uses a third auxiliary fan to help move airflow over surface mounted components on the motherboard as well as assist with drawing heat from the GPU, pulls heat further out of the machine.
The 2024 Asus Zephyrus G14 is now available for pre-order in Canada starting at $2,199 with availability in-store on February 23, 2024. Multiple specification options are available, with pricing up to $2,999 for the top line variant, which includes an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor, 32 GB LPDDR5X RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU, and a 1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD.
