Asus has released the Intel-based ROG Zephyrus G14 (2026) in North America under the model number GU405. The company is offering configurations that pair the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H processor with either the GeForce RTX 5070 or the RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. This release marks the arrival of the 2026 iteration of the popular 14-inch gaming laptop in the region.
New 14-inch gaming laptop arrives with RTX 5070 graphics and 32 GB RAM.
The laptop comes equipped with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD as the base storage option. Asus indicates that storage capacity can be expanded up to 2 TB, though specific pricing for that higher tier remains unknown. The display panel supports a peak brightness of 500 nits to handle various lighting conditions.

Asus Canada lists two specific SKUs for the Canadian market. The configuration with the RTX 5070 is priced at 4,299 CAD (about $3,138). The version featuring the RTX 5070 Ti costs 4,799 CAD (about $3,503). Asus US has confirmed that the RTX 5070 Ti model will reach the United States for 3,599 USD (about $3,599).
The North American launch excludes the AMD-based GA403 model variant. Asus has not listed any GeForce RTX 5080 variants for the North American market either. This strategic choice focuses the regional offering on the Intel and lower-tier NVIDIA GPU combination.
Asus has not confirmed the exact launch window for the North American release. The company has also not disclosed pricing details for the optional 2 TB storage configuration.
