I’ve had my ASUS ROG Zephyrus g14 for almost 2 years and I love it. It’s a gaming computer so it’s meant for this. It’s also really compact and light (comparable to a MacBook Air) for a gaming computer so I can travel easy with it and when I’m at home I have it hooked up to an external monitor so ev

Here are some powerful configs I found that are small for your budget. About the trackpad, I don't have experience with those, sorry about that, but the reviews of each laptop could say if the trackpad is good or not. What I'm focusing on these builds is good manufacturers, with beautiful screens (1

My main computer is a LG Gram 17, and all of the hardware except for the fingerprint reader worked 100% out of the box with Arch. Then my "travel laptop" is a 14" Thinkpad T14S Gen 1 and everything works out of the box there as well. My gaming machine is an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, though that's runni

Is it comparing with the MacBook Pro though? Asus’ “real” MacBook Pro competition is the ProArt P16. Comes with a higher resolution Tandem OLED display, more ports, better speakers, better cooling, a more sturdy build, a bigger battery and way more performance. Not to mention a price tag to match. I

Hi, yes, I managed to install Ubuntu 24.04 on my ASUS Zephyrus G14 2025, and I’ve been using this laptop for about two months already with the current dual-boot setup. For reference, I’m currently running: Linux rog-dev 6.17.0-14-generic #14~24.04.1-Ubuntu In my case, the installation itself was str

Hey, speaking from experience, based on flexibility, power and also the build quality, I would highly recommend an Asus ROG Zephyrus series. They updated, the look back in 2024, and now have the closest build quality to a MacBook. Here is a US link to a approximately same budget laptop https://shop.

Советую проверить линейку Asus ROG Zephyrus G14/G16. Лучший вариант если нужна мощность, мобильность и полностью алюминевый корпус. Можно сказать Мак в мире Виндовса)

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and G14 have great build quality, the best laptop speakers outside of MacBooks, and are thin and light but with top of the line dGPUs for gaming and 3d work. They have incredible screens too and usable trackpads. You pay a premium for them but they are the closest to current ge
