What we want is not the point, it is a matter of affordability. 6500€ for a laptop is a very, very high expense for a reasonably wealthy person in Europe. I upgraded all my machines, by luck, before the price hikes but clearly if I did not, I would not buy at these new prices. I would just stick to my hardware longer, or game only on desktop.
Crazy price: You'd get a much better bang for the buck from a desktop gaming PC, and it would be upgradable, repairable and run (much) quieter (the Performance energy profile in this laptop is at 49.8 dB(A), this is pretty noisy) and last longer due to better cooling. And for the rest money that would be left, you could get an Apple Air 13 or 15.
In France on the Asus store, the 5070 version is listed right now for 3899€ and the 5080 for 6299€. The 5070 Ti version will certainly be well above 4000€.
As a g14 '25 user, I am disappointed to see that they haven't addressed probably the only real drawback with this design - the screen flex cable. The thing is notorious for breaking in older generations. Basically, it is a real gamble to purchase one without at least 2 year warranty, as the issues usually come 6-18months into ownership and the fix is stupidly expensive, as you must replace the whole screen.
Asus switched to Intel CPUs for the new ROG Zephyrus G14 and powered by the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, it is still one of the most powerful 14-inch laptops you can buy. You also get an updated 120 Hz OLED screen, which now reaches brightness levels of more than 1,000 nits.
