Asus has released its new Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop in India. It can be customized with a host of AMD Ryzen CPUs, Nvidia Geforce GTX and RTX GPUs, and comes with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of solid-state storage. Prices start at INR 80,990 (US$1,081) for the base variant.

Is there some way Notebookcheck could start geo-restricting these types of posts only to relevant locale? I get that there is a huge English-reading Indian readership, but for the rest of the world the relatively frequent "Product X is now available for purchase in India" posts are quite uninteresting, and only serve to make the site feel less relevant and clutter up the news feed. (One could of course argue the same for other countries too, though for a (presumably global) English language version of the site US and UK/Europe dates are somewhat universally relevant due to how these markets tend to be among the first to get a lot of products. I have yet to see an Indian launch of a product portend an upcoming global launch, for example, which is frequently the case for US launches. There's also relevance due to pricing, as most MSRPs are set in USD without sales tax, making for a relatively stable and known base from which conversions can be made relatively easily.)
Please give buying link also, or give info when it would be available.

I absolutely agree, it is already hard to read with all this constant flow of Samsung etc leaks spam and India releases news will render the site unusable (e.g. gsmarena).
Anyway, I think this release is a really big deal because it can bring us G14 alternatives from Xiaomi (Redmi) etc.

Can't agree more! The geo fencing problem seems only happen to the specific editor. Wonder why only readers aware this issue so far. What's the standpoint of the chief in notebookcheck?

I would very much like you to explain how exactly any of this qualifies as "butthurt". Is anyone here somehow taking this personally?
