The ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14, as the name suggests, comes packing a 14-inch display. Not only does it offer a 2560x1600 resolution, but it has a refresh rate of 120Hz, too, and a peak brightness of 500 nits.

It looks great, too, with a comfortably spaced keyboard, a quartet of multimedia keys, and the ability to fold completely back so the display is almost in line with the keyboard base.

Still, it's what's inside that counts, and the AMD Radeon RX 6700S is the standout draw here, with the powerful GPU more than capable of running the latest games on the go or assisting with demanding creative work. Couple that with 1TB of SSD storage and 16GB of RAM and you have a powerful, portable workstation. Whether you just want a general purpose machine that can handle some games, or you need one of the best laptops for coding or photo editing, we think this is a great choice.
