Review: ROG Zephyrus G14 ACRNM Special Edition

Time Out Dubai • Sep 19, 2020

"Another neat feature (and button) the ACRNM Special Edition adds is The Brain. Made by Errolson’s brother, Harlan Hugh, it acts as a task manager of sorts that aims to map your brain – from to-do lists at work to planning your next vacation. We didn’t use it to its full potential, but we can definitely see this as a fantastic aid to independent workers and content creators, as we could add designs, graphics and documents to work on, and easily jump out into another, erm, brain tree to get something else done. It’s a cool and handy function."
