Great laptop. Super powerful in a small form factor. I'm getting Time Spy of above 15000. Great screen. Great speakers. Great keyboard. Great trackpad. Love the 16:10 aspect ratio. I've upgraded to 32GB - no problem! I've had no build quality problems - I've heard others have. Only disappointment is battery life. Some people claim G14s get mammoth battery life. That's not my experience with this laptop.

I tested quite a few new laptops before deciding on the Asus Zephyrus G14. It has all of the power you would need for AAA gaming, editing, 3d modeling, video editing. Plus the style of the laptop is truly one of a kind! Having the ability to upgrade the RAM up to 48GB as well as replace the internal M.2 SSD leaves room for longevity. This will be my daily driver for at least the next 5 years or longer.

smooth keyboard and excellent graphics!! fans a bit loud but laptop doesn’t get hot

For this review, I got the 4080 model. It is quite a performant laptop and is very portable. I bought this as a desktop replacement for college and it is doing well so far. If you want to get the best out of this machine, you need to go through a few hoops. I first wanted to upgrade the internal drive and the ram. Apparently this model is very picky with what type of ram you can use, so for highest compatibility, I would reccommend any 4800 mhz cl40 sodimm ddr5 ram. When installing a new ssd boot drive and reinstalling windows and reinstalling all the OEM drivers, I noticed that the armory crate didnt recognize auto refresh rate or energy panel saver, and the gpu power profiles wouldnt switch from standard. After troubleshooting all day and reinstalling every driver, I decided it was not a driver issue, but armory crate being a buggy mess. To circumvent this issue, I installed an armory crate alternative known as G-helper, which has some stability issues, but isnt nearly as bad as armory crate. Ghelper solved all my issues with armory crate. The thermals in this machine get quite hot, in gaming workloads, even with reduced power limits of 90 watt gpu and 65 watt cpu, it regularly reaches 85 degrees celcius, I heard a good undervolt would help with these temperatures. Idle and low usage temps are good, typically around 47-55 degrees celcius on silent mode. This laptop has all the fancy auto power settings you may want to maximize battery life when off the charger and maximize performance on AC. It's battery life for me has been around 7-8 hours with the right power settings which almost made me forget this is a gaming laptop. I only remember that once it boots up any intensive ganmes, then its fans kick up and it gets really hot. In conclusion, this is a great portable powerhouse if you have the money, and I believe this is the best performance per dollar, as the 4090 model only peforms around 8% better on average in games for 800$ more and the 4070 model performing around 50% worse overall for only 650$ less.

Great laptop so far the only issue is trying to keep it clean when using on a show site.
