Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Over the last few years, 14-inch gaming laptops have only grown in popularity, and the two at the top of the pack are the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and Razer Blade 14. The two laptops are normally relegated to different classes, with Asus focusing on a reasonable price while Razer shoots ahead with all of the premium bells and whistles. That’s changing in 2024.
