It was a lighter year for gaming laptops at CES 2024, but these are the ones that really popped.
CES is always flooded with new gaming laptops, but this year felt a bit different. Like the best laptops of CES as a whole, the updates to gaming laptops this year focused more on improved displays and new designs than just updated internals.
Here are the four gaming laptops I saw this year that really got me excited to spend more time with them.ROG Zephyrus G14
The Zephyrus G14 has always been one of our favorite gaming laptops. It was a laptop that perfectly balanced portability and performance — one that could function as well for gaming as it could for work. But this year, Asus redesigned the entire chassis of this device, bringing an eye-catching new lid, a thinned-out profile, a silver color, and a larger touchpad that extends to the full stretch of the palm rests.
As you may notice, a lot of those features aren’t gaming-focused. And that’s because this redesign of the ROG Zephyrus G14 seems to be targeting more of a crossover demographic. It’s a spot the Razer Blade 14 has owned over the years, but increasingly, the G14 seems like a serious contender.
