Asus has launched a refreshed lineup of gaming and creator laptops in India, headlined by the dual-screen Zephyrus Duo and extending to the more accessible TUF Gaming A14. Pre-orders are now open at Rs 999 across ROG stores, Flipkart, Amazon, Croma, Vijay Sales, Reliance Digital, and Asus Exclusive partners. Customers can unlock benefits worth up to Rs 27,299, including a two-year warranty extension and three years of accidental damage protection. No-cost EMI is available for up to 24 months, starting at Rs 8,333.
Four Distinct Propositions
The portfolio covers four distinct propositions: a desktop-replacement flagship, ultraportable Zephyrus G-series machines, a Snapdragon-powered creator tablet, and a durability-first TUF model. All are built around NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs. Refreshed Strix and Scar models also join the rollout, though details on those remain limited.
Arnold Su, Asus India's Vice President for consumer and gaming PCs, framed the launch around adaptability, pitching devices that flex between gaming, creation, and everyday work without forcing trade-offs.
Zephyrus Duo: Dual OLEDs and RTX 5090
The Duo is the showpiece. It stacks two 16-inch 3K OLED touch panels above an Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 and up to an RTX 5090, promising 1824 TOPS of AI performance. A 320-degree hinge unlocks five operating modes, the keyboard goes wireless when the bottom screen is needed, and ROG's liquid metal plus tri-fan cooling handles the thermal load. It starts at Rs 5,49,990 with an RTX 5070 Ti and climbs to Rs 6,99,990 for the RTX 5090 configuration.
Zephyrus G14 and G16: Slim Chassis with RTX 5080
The G-series refresh is where most buyers will land. The G14 weighs 1.5 kg, measures 1.59 cm thin, and pairs a 3K Nebula HDR OLED with a 73Whr battery. The headlining RTX 5070 variant is listed at Rs 3,69,990. Stepping up to the G16 offers a 2.5K HDR display rated at 1100 nits, a 90Whr cell, and configurations from RTX 5070 Ti at Rs 4,19,990 up to RTX 5080 at Rs 5,09,990. Both are powered by Intel Core Ultra 9 processors.
ProArt PZ14: 2-in-1 with Snapdragon X2 Elite
The PZ14 is the odd one out, and that is the point. It is a 14-inch 2-in-1 with a detachable keyboard, a Pantone-validated 3K Lumina Pro OLED, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite pushing 80 TOPS of on-device AI. Asus quotes up to 22 hours of battery life and bundles Asus Pen support for sketching and markup. The price is Rs 2,69,990.
TUF Gaming A14: Entry Point with AMD Inside
The TUF Gaming A14 sits at the entry point. At 1.46 kg with military-grade durability ratings and a 0.1mm dual-fan cooler, it pairs AMD's Gorgon Point AI 9 465 with an RTX 5060 for Rs 1,99,990.
