Product Summary final draft

In this article, "The innovative Zephyrus G14 brings incredible power to a 14-inch form factor”, Vu(7 Jan 2020) set the bar for ultra-slim gaming laptops with original ROG Zephyrus series. The latest product of an exceeding potential boundary is none other than Zephyrus G14 which put unparalleled power in a 14-inch form that is portable and provide high-end gaming experience to everyone. In such a small machine, its packs with leading edge component and cautious customize cooling feature that ensures the best performance of these processors. Having more than 10 hours of battery life and the ability to charge from Type-C Power Bank, The G14 enables users the freedom to travel around without worrying on battery life. The Zephyrus G14 pairs exclusively with 4th generation of AMD® Ryzen™ CPU. With a cheaper price tag and similar performance to other gaming laptop such as Razer or MSI. G14 solves the issues of bulkiness and battery life despite having no webcam and loud fan noise.

The first feature that make it stand out is the size of G14 compared to competitive. When G14 is compared to the Razer Blade 15 , it's is same thickness but more lightweight. G14 has a weight of 1.6kg whereas Razer Blade 15 has a weight of 2kg. The price of G14 is set at 2.4k SGD compared to Razer Blade 15 of 2.6k SGD. What sets apart even more is the AniMe Matrix that spread 1,215 mini LEDs across the top, allowing you to fully customize the design and express individual creativeness and style. It also allows imported animated GIF and other graphics , Visualization that react to music beats, creating a unique platform for DJs and other artist. With all these, G14 has shown a greater advantage than other laptop not only in term of size.

Another advantage is its battery life, it's currently the longest-lasting gaming laptop tested by continuously surfing web for 11hour and 32minutes (Rami,2020). It's nearly 3 times as long as average gaming laptop. When the user is unable to find a free wall socket or couldn't stop to charge, G14 is capable of being powered by DC or compatible Type-C power bank (Vu,2020). Therefore, G14 is able to produced more efficient work result and enjoyable gameplay outside without having to worry about battery life.

With small body frames and high capacity battery life, another important advantage is its performance. Gaming laptop is often determined good or bad based on graphics card and CPU. G14 is paired with AMD Ryzen 4000 series which is on-par with the latest intel 10th gen (Tim,2020) and allowed the users to play demanding CPU game without stuttering. G14 have a graphic card of Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q that is able to run modern games with fantastic graphic and render 4k videos. With a lower price cost while having on-par performance against high-end gaming laptop, G14 will be more favoured as a result. 

However, G14 does not have a webcam and the fan noise can get loud during gaming sessions. It could be a deal breaker for some users as webcam is commonly used and the noise can be very distracting while playing as well. In my opinion, these issues can be solved by having a wider monitor to allocate space for webcam and applying liquid metal as thermal paste to reduce fan noise.

Zephyrus G14 provides light weighted, long lasting battery life, a decent specification and low-cost price for the gaming laptop industry. They change the rule of how gaming laptop is bulky and low battery life and rewritten their own which is the main purpose of G14.
