Title: 2021 Asus Zephyrus G14 with Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU, GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, 144 Hz 1080p display, and 1 TB PCIe SSD now available for $1500 USD

The second generation Zephyrus G14 packs even more power than the original model alongside an updated 144 Hz display to replace last year's 120 Hz option. The performance-per-watt and performance-per-volume should be some of the highest for any 14-inch laptop.

No Webcam again! They completely forgot that web conferencing is the main form of communication these days...

Thank you for the article! Looks like a solid upgrade!

However - no webcam seems like a no go...

Best regards

Thanks for posting this article.
Are you guys going to review this years model again? If so, when can we expect it to be online?

I was wondering since there are many reviews for the G15 already out.

As for the "no webcam"-part: I don't know, if it's everywhere the same, but I know for sure, that in many regions an external FHD webcam is included in the box. So I'm having no issues with this...

Correction: All the 2021 G14 3060gpu models will have 2k and not a 1080p screen per Asus website. Best Buy has the info wrong on their page.

I hope the author knows that in 2021, you have to mention the the TGP of the Nvidia GPU.
Also, like all articles showing laptop tech specifications, you don't mention the battery capacity (in Wh) either, something that should change as it's a very important aspect of a device as well.

Incorrect.
I think ASUS USA just haven't listed all the different models on their website yet. In the UK and other countries, ASUS list an RTX 3060 model with 1080p 144Hz screen, same as what is listed on best buy. £1599 in UK.

Man, I hope you are wrong. I like having the G14 priced at $1500 with a 2k screen and a 3060gpu. That's a healthy upgrade at a fair price. Hardware Canucks on you tube have these same specs at this price point which is what prompted me to research this further.

I'm. Not a tech geek , the article said for 1500 bucks you can certainly get a faster laptop , just not for that size , what laptops are they talking about..
