Anonymouus October 28, 2022 at 06:50 PM I would say the Asus Zephrus G14 is the better laptop due to the price (the Macbook Pro 14 in apple fashion is crazy expensive) and offers very similar performance as in the US, UK, and Canada you can get very good deals on the G14 not so much with the MacBook if you have the budget maybe go with the Macbook if you really hate Mac but if you are neutral I would rather save on the G14 as it is better in gaming if that is your style and offers decent video editing performance (depends on your spec it can be the same marginally worse or marginally better). +4 Reply Name Message Send Send Promotion Comparisons
