The new ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 combines AMD Ryzen 5000 APUs, a 144 Hz display and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-P GPU in the same compact chassis

ASUS has announced a significant upgrade to the ROG Zephyrus G14, one of 2020's most popular gaming laptops. The new model features AMD Ryzen 5000 APUs, up to a 144 Hz and 1440p display, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Max-P GPU. The ROG Zephyrus G14 still weighs just 1.6 kg, though.

I really hoped they would put a webcam in this year. Well it seems I will have to buy other laptop.

Oh coooome oooon.... No webcam again???

I always look at all the options twice over. Every single model there is.
They were THAT close to making me look no further.

I think if they had added the webcam, they would have made so much money that they'd be afraid of having it.

Ugh, was excited to see an update, then no webcam. Why! Lost a likely sale here...

As far as I'm concerned, they can drop webcams from more models.  Save a few bucks and put in a better screen.

Do we know a price range yet?

Damn, I wanted a 14" display with touch, 32GB RAM and a Webcam - come on, it's 2021 and COVID will be here for a while with work from home and cafes... Happy to pay more for the specs.

hmm...this article doesn't contain the details yet. is this the 5900HS at 35W + 80W TGP (which will drop to ~30 W on battery? So I guess the new g14 will have the battery life & thermals of the old g14? 10-11 hrs. And the new 15W 5000 series ryzen can have 17-20 hrs matching macbook air/pro m1?

Personally I couldn't care less about a webcam. All laptops have one and I maybe used mine 0.0001% of the time I have the laptop. There are so many other alternatives, external webcams or even just use your phone.

Really, people, you care that much about a webcam in a gaming laptop? So buy an external one. I for one am glad it doesn't have a webcam, keeps it neat.

I hope the thermals have improved from last year because this feels like the right time for me to finally replace my laptop that died 2 years ago now.

I'd always rather have one for backup than nothing at all.

5600HS + 3060 Max-P could be fantastic combination.

For anyone concern about missing WebCam, try DroidCam app. Working just fine for me.

Will they actually let you buy the system with high-performance components, without paying a 500 EUR/USD markup for the dumb lightshow on the lid?

I would love to see this type of config in a mini desktop / small form factor.
Personally i'm not a fan of a fancy "gaming" cases with ton of LEDs and logotypes on a laptop so this ROG designs is not for me...
