NVIDIA are on deck with support for up to GeForce RTX 4090s and if that was not enough, the screen is an OLED panel.

These are powerhouse machines, but don’t come with the weight usually associated with that, as the Zephyrus G14 is 1.59 cm thick and only 1.5 kg, while the larger Zephyrus G16 is just 1.49 cm thick and weighs in at just 1.85 kg. Lets look at each model a little closer.
