Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 3060 and 144 Hz display on sale with US$500 discount

November is a great time to acquire new technology, thanks in large part to the various Black Friday offers from a range of merchants. Those looking for a mid-range gaming laptop might consider the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, which is available from Best Buy for US$899.99.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401QM-G14.R73060 model is on sale. This version of the Zephyrus G14 features an AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 512 GB PCIe Gen 3 SSD, as indicated by the model name's last numerals. The display is a 14-inch FHD (1920x1080) panel with a 144-Hz refresh rate. According to Asus, the display covers 100% of the sRGB gamut and has a maximum brightness of 300 nits.

We reviewed a similar device last year, however our review unit came with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS processor. The sole difference between our review unit and the one on the market is that our review unit's CPU runs at a little faster clock speed (4.6 GHz vs 4.4 GHz).

The Zephyrus received high marks in our review for its lengthy battery life, excellent CPU performance, and excellent typing experience. We also noticed that the Zephyrus can get over 100 FPS in most 1080p games because to its 144 Hz panel.

The lack of Thunderbolt 3 support implies that external GPU enclosures aren't supported. While gaming, the laptop also gets very hot (55° C under load in the centre of the keyboard). It is also missing a webcam and RGB lighting.

While the design and internals are a year old, laptops with an RTX 3060 and a Ryzen 7-class CPU are uncommon for under $1000, let alone one with this level of build quality and a 144 Hz display. The Zephyrus is normally priced at $1399.99 at Best Buy, but it has been lowered by $500 to $899.99 on Black Friday. If you're looking for a tiny mid-range gaming laptop, this could be the one.

Best Buy sells the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS, Nvidia RTX 3060).

IKEA Asks Horror Game To Change So People Stop Comparing It To IKEA

A lone indie developer's unannounced survival horror game set in an Ikea-like furniture store has received a cease and desist notice from the furniture giant, in an unexpected action, according to a Kotaku review. Because several media outlets have made analogies between the game and their official brand, Ikea, Ikea's attorneys assert that the game violates trademark laws. Developer Jacob Shaw has only ten days to "alter the game and eliminate all indicia linked with the famed Ikea stores," according to the Swedish company. Unreleased co-op survival game The Store Is Closed is currently in the final week of a successful Kickstarter campaign that has raised little over $49,000. The game was developed by a lone individual under the company name Ziggy, and it is described as "being set in an infinite furniture store."
