The highest-end Zephyrus G14 comes with a high-res panel; windows defaults to 2x zoom. I've been very happy with it, not least since - well, thanks to the Vega chiplet there's no lag.

It also has an Nvidia for those times when you really need horsepower, but so far I've only needed it for ML.



I took a hard look at this laptop particularly with the 1440p resolution, but 101.2% sRGB, 71.7% DCI-P3 and 69.7% Adobe RGB still isn't in the color gamut ranges I'm considering acceptable for content creation. The truth is that ASUS are more focused on high refresh rates for gamers than they are content creation. When 60Hz was the norm a few years ago, a lot of gaming laptops offered wide color gamuts and high pixel density to stand out even though these don't help gaming.


I'm curious actually. The majority of users don't have a calibrated or wide-gamut screen, so how much does the color gamut really matter?

I have one laptop with an OLED panel that's (IIRC) 105% Adobe-RGB, and it's sufficiently nice that I'd like that everywhere if I could, but it isn't enough to rule out the G14 for me. Perhaps it's a good thing that I'm not into photo editing, as a rule.
