Two of RTX 5080 this time around.
Nvidia RTX 5070—though these mobile chips don't align core-for-core with their desktop counterparts.
For the Zephyrus lineup, we're seen the G16 once again saddled with the biggest GPU of the lot, the RTX 5090. In our experience with the RTX 4090 in the G16, that's probably not the model to go for, as it's going to be restricted by the diminutive chassis. There will be more sensible options available, at least.
The G14 is the more sensible of the two with 'only' an RTX 4080. That could be a pretty powerful pairing alongside AMD's excellent HX 370 chip, though we'll have to see if the RTX 5080 pushes the Zephyrus cooling over the edge or not in testing.
Other than the change in processors, there's not much else to report. Both laptops feature an ROG Nebula display: the G16 a 2.5K, 240 Hz display and the G14 a 3K, 120 Hz display. They also have the same chassis design, same trackpad, same keyboard—you get the idea.
With last year's model marking a major shift in the Zephyrus design, I wasn't expecting a major change here. two), and much of what we liked about those laptops is true for the newer one.
My only regret is that I wasn't able to stuff the G14 in my bag at CES 2025 and get to testing it right here at the show.
