This guide will help you find the best ASUS gaming laptop<\/strong> for your budget and needs in 2022. We\u2019ll be covering the full range of premium ASUS ROG Zephyrus laptops<\/strong>, down to the more affordable ASUS TUF gaming<\/strong> range, listing the pros and cons of each in order to help you make your choice.<\/p>\n

How good are ASUS gaming laptops?<\/h2>\n

ASUS gaming laptops<\/strong> are some of the best in the business. They regularly make an appearance on our \u2018best of\u2019 lists for different price points, particularly in the mid to high-end price brackets.<\/p>\n

Besides their great gaming performance<\/strong>, the battery life on ASUS gaming laptops<\/strong> tends to be among the best, particularly for the ones that have AMD CPUs. Speaker quality, typically poor in gaming laptops<\/strong>, is usually also pretty respectable on ASUS models<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Asus Zephyrus G14<\/h4>\n

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is a 14-inch laptop which you should be able to pick up on offer for less than $1,400. It offers great mid-range performance playing games at 1080p with its Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, and although it doesn\u2019t lead the 14\u201d pack compared to the much more expensive Razer Blade 14 for instance, in terms of mid-priced laptops it is one of the most consistently high performers overall.<\/p>\n

The AMD Ryzen 5900HS CPU does well in games and also excels in multi-core workstation use, making the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 ideal for someone looking for a dual-gaming and productivity set up, as long as it\u2019s nothing too demanding. The wide 100% sRGB color gamut and respectable color accuracy of the screen also add to this, making it suitable for light color work. Even the speakers, generally a weak area on laptops, are of a respectable standard, though they don\u2019t quite match Macbooks in this regard.<\/p>\n

The coverage of ports on the laptop is generally respectable, although the lack of a Thunderbolt 3 could be a problem for some. Additionally, the lack of a webcam is probably the biggest drawback of this machine. Whilst all gaming laptops get loud when playing games, it should be noted that the Zephyrus G14 does have a tendency to have audible fan whine even when idling.<\/p>\n

ROG Zephyrus G15<\/h4>\n

Out of all of ASUS\u2019 laptop offerings, the ROG Zephyrus G15 is the easiest to recommend. It strikes a near-perfect balance between performance, design, and price. The combination of its Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU and RTX 3070 GPU deliver incredible performance on graphically-intense games like Red Dead Redemption II and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and can run both at max settings without issue.<\/p>\n

We also love the G15\u2019s design. The keyboard, touchpad, and speakers are all great, especially compared to the competition. But the G15\u2019s most impressive feature might be its stellar battery life, able to cruise through an entire workday on one charge, or crank out about an hour and a half of gaming unplugged. The only real drawback is that, like many ASUS gaming laptops, the G15 lacks a webcam.<\/p>\n
