ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024)

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 redefines the compact power laptop, making it a secret weapon for developers in graphics, game dev, AI, and machine learning. It packs top-tier AMD Ryzen 9 and NVIDIA RTX 40-series graphics into a 14-inch form factor, offering incredible performance for CUDA-accelerated tasks, simulation, and local model training. Its high-refresh-rate Nebula Display is great for testing. While marketed as a gaming laptop, its power, portability, and Linux compatibility (with some driver setup) make it an outstanding, versatile mobile workstation for compute-intensive development at a relatively accessible price point.
