Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted to buy a 14’ laptop so that I can carry it easily and can work with it even when I am in bed. I found this to be a perfect laptop as it was under my budget. I bought on BB deals for around $1000(+tax). Likes: 1. Slim design 2. Compact 3. Keyboard typing experience is very good 4. Display 5. Sound 6. RTX 3060 GPU. Dislike: 1. I have been using this for two weeks now and I have not particularly noticed anything but Anime Matrix does not work in this machine (Ryzen 7, Nvidia 3060 version). 2. Webcam is not included in this machine, although it is not a big deal but a webcam would have been great. Overall, I thing this laptop is ideal for doing acadmic works for computer science related work and more than capable for doing light works.

I've been absolutely blown away by the ASUS Zephyrus G14, and I can't help but give it a solid five-star rating. Here's why this laptop has left me so impressed: It's a Performance Beast: This laptop doesn't mess around. The AMD Ryzen 9 processor and NVIDIA RTX 3060GPU work together like a dream. Whether I'm diving into intense gaming, editing videos, or juggling multiple tasks, it handles everything with ease. No more frustrating lag or slowdowns. A Real Looker: The design of the Zephyrus G14 is simply stunning. It's sleek, elegant, and surprisingly light for its power. I love how easy it is to carry around. Gorgeous Display: The FHD display is a visual treat. The colors pop 100%sRBG, and the high resolution makes everything look incredible. Plus, that 144Hz refresh rate ensures that games and videos are super smooth. It's like having a mini theater right in my lap. Keeps Going and Going: The battery life is a pleasant surprise. Considering the power under the hood, I expected it to drain quickly, but it easily lasts me a full workday or lets me enjoy hours of gaming without constantly searching for an outlet. Typing Bliss: The keyboard is a joy to use. The keys feel comfortable and responsive, making long typing sessions a breeze. And the trackpad is precise, which is great when I'm not using a mouse for gaming. To sum it up, the ASUS Zephyrus G14 is a true all-rounder. It's a versatile powerhouse that excels in every department. While it's not the cheapest laptop out there, the performance and build quality justify the price tag. If you're on the hunt for a top-notch laptop that can handle gaming and work like a champ, this is the one. Five stars all the way!

I got this amazing laptop for a great deal open box. So far it's been amazing and it is super fast. This laptop is a gaming beast as well. High fps high settings in alot of my games. I also love the size of this machine. It is really portable if you need something for on the go. The battery life is excellent. Wow didn't expect such amazing battery life from a gaming laptop. I have zero regrets buying this laptop. Asus makes really great products. Can't wait to buy my next Asus zyphysus g14 in 4 to 5 years :)

Ive gone through literally a ton of laptops and what’s interesting enough is I ended up going right back to this 2021 model. From ROG G14/15/M16/Strix, Lenovo, Dell/Alienware, HP, MSI, Acer, Gigabyte, and Razer. I’ve literally tried everything Windows with BestBuy and forgive me for the amount of returns BestBuy helped me with from just finding the one. This is quite literally the best all around amazing battery life (for a windows laptop), amazing speakers for a 14 inch laptop, beautiful display (low nit brightness), great keyboard, usb-c charging, great portability, and the list just goes on. That being said, do not think it will be simple picking one up and calling it a day. Ive gone through literally several of them that either had a distorted speaker or backlight bleed. I finally hit a lotto winner with my most recent purchase and have 0 issues with my unit. There are of course cons about this model compared to the 2022/23 models. No camera and no sd/microsd slot. If you can live with that, this laptop is simply amazing. This also only carries 1 nvme ssd slot. I purchased a 2tb ssd and it works beautifully. I highly recommend that you disable turbo boost if youre not a serious gamer. Simply google “how to disable turbo boost on g14” there are videos everywhere on how to do it. It may seem complex but its actually very easy. Best of luck!

This 2021 model G14 has been a solid portable gaming workhorse for all my work travels. I just recently performed my long overdue upgrades to it to give it a bit more longevity. I attached a pic- the SSD and RAM slots are both immediately accessible under black plastic flaps once you take the bottom cover off. There's one captive screw in the bottom right edge when you have the hinge facing away from you, so don't try to take that one all the way out and break the case. The SSD slot is PCI-E gen 3, but gen 4 and 5 are backwards compatible and work fine. I put a 2TB PNY SSD into mine after cloning the original to it using Macrium Reflect Home (free), and it booted right up. The RAM slot already has an 8GB stick in it from the factory, so any upgrades will have to remove it. I put in a dual-rank 32GB DDR4-3200 PNY stick in without any issues. Single-rank RAM should be better, but good luck finding a 32GB stick. The system recognizes 40GB total memory which is a bit odd, but at least the first 16GB facing the system will still run at dual channel speed. The upper 24GB won't, but it's still way faster than hitting your virtual memory. The 3060 at 80w is still plenty fast for 1080p gaming, and I run Doom Eternal, Hogwarts Legacy, and Cyberpunk 2077 on it with all the eye candy turned on at over 50fps easy. E-sports titles that I don't care about but that my son keeps pestering me to play like Rocket League run at warp speed. Displayport over USB-C works great, I was able to drive a 3440x1440 screen via DP and a 1080p TV over HDMI at the same time through a portable USB-C docking station. I know you can't buy these in 2025, but Asus does a great job in the 14 inch frame category with this series of laptops, and the current batch is still a good value. If you came to these reviews looking for data on yours, hopefully my upgrade information helped a little bit.

I have been using this laptop as my daily driver from November and this has been one of the best product or laptop i have owned after my experience with macbook air....this laptop can easily handle games like Halo Infinite without any frame drop and lag, i even get updates for this laptop frequently which is a plus bcoz it can make boost the performance device and make it last longer. And talking about the graphic card it has been able to handle a lot of games i play and NVidia has a good software updates like i get updates for the driver for every one month even though it is like two year old Graphic card....and overall performance of the device has been good in a way that it can handle whatever you throw at it...it has a good battery life.. it easily lasts 7 hours of regular usage such as streaming and working on it... and also the keyboard has a unique design to it which other laptops don't offer at this price point, i can easily recommend this for any one that is looking for a powerful laptop and want a sleek design which doesn't add much weight to their bag and comes in an affordable cost for those who don't want to purchase a pc since they cant carry it everywhere....

Overall a really good laptop, very good size for work, school, and gaming. It is very portable. It does get a little warm sometimes but the fans will typically cool it down fairly quickly. The disign is simple and elegant. It is less bright and flashy then other gaming laptops which i like.

Great, powerful laptop. Can run virtually anything. Perfect for college usage. As an engineering student, there is enough RAM and a powerful processor to run Solidworks like a charm. Runs any coding language and virtual machines run great. I would recommend upgrading the non-soldered 8 gb RAM stick to 16 GB as for maximum 24 GB RAM if you want maximum VM performance. Games such as League run at 200 FPS, Shadow of War 130 FPS, and Assassins Creed Origins 100 FPS. Only downside is that you must configure ArmoryCrate and Nvidia RTX settings to utilize the 3060 GPU and to reduce fan noise. I don’t think fan noise is bad actually once these setting are fine tuned.

Love this Laptop very much. although I really wish this had a RGB Keyboard instead of the flushed out white keyboard, but you get what you pay for. but that doesn't mean this laptop is bad. NO.. but this laptop is a beast and worth every penny!!! It can run Discord if you are a big Discord user while playing games in the background. the games that I tested on this laptop was Uno, GTA 4, Halo master chief collection and Apex Legends and all of them run buttery smooth without issues, and the games came from Steam, another thing to take note is it doesn't have a webcam if you want to make video calls, but it really serves no purpose of having one if you are just interested in gaming, I like this laptop so far and right now i got a awesome deal on it, very happy with the purchase I made, That's why I like Best buys customer service, if you are interested in this laptop. don't hesitate to check this one out, 5 stars for me!!

Fantastic screen. Lightweight. Excellent graphics card (RTX3060). Superior battery life. Made for traveling because of it's small form factor. Super grateful for this purchase! I got it on sale for an awesome price. I would highly recommend this laptop to anyone. It's good for both gamers AND for working.

I got this computer on bed for about 1000$ and honestly it’s been one of the best upgrades I’ve done. The display is big and beautiful. The refresh rate is fast and smooth. And the keys are soft and precise. When I need to type a 1000 word essay or take notes, this makes my life so much easier. On top of the work I do on it, I also play tons of games. I typically love pushing the graphics on any game. With the amazing speed of the processor and the powerful capabilities of the graphics card I am able to play games like far cry 6 with no issues. Overall if you are looking for a slightly above average gaming computer for a good price. I would recommend. P.S. Get an external ssd for the smoothest performance.

Context: I bought this PC in 2022 when it was about a year old. This PC has allowed me to play most games with at least 60 frames per second with 1080p resolution. This line of laptops is the perfect balance of portability and gaming power. Although this model is old, the newest zephryus’ are easy recommendation for anybody looking to get a laptop that can allow them to game capably and use it for normal things as well.

Overall great laptop, handles pretty much anything I throw at it, though it has one minor issue where it stutters for a couple of seconds occasionally. I'm not sure what the cause is and I believe it's a fairly common issue. Ram and SSD can be upgraded fairly easily

An amazing laptop for the price it got Nvidia RTX 3060 with AMD Ryzen 5 which makes it powerful and efficient for any task and any game. It's cooling system is also premium and can be customized through the built-in software. The only comment I have on this laptop I have is that the bezel is kind of big and it doesn't have camera. Other than that it's an amazing deal

This was my first purchase of a gaming laptop/PC. It has knocked my socks off with its graphics, performance and user friendly interface. I dont see myself buying anything other the ASUS for the foreseeable future. This plays Xbox Cloud Games, GTA V, Call of Duty Warzone and many other AAA games wirh ease and without sacrifincg graphics or performance.

Pros - speed and specs are great for the price, asthetics, keyboard, sound, size and weight, portability, upgradeability (SSD, RAM and Wifi card), cooling. Cons - constant wifi drops and high ping when playing online (mediatek wifi card - no driver update will fix issues - will highly recomend to an intel based card), backlit keyboard will not stay off, ports placement, lack of ethernet port, wobbly screen, image quality not the greatest, screen brightness could be better

The perfect laptop for the price. The design is simple and looks great. It is pack with enough performance for everything from surfing the web, programming, and even all of the way to Ray Tracing.

So powerful laptop. I can do everything. And design is looking beautiful

I have always been a Mac user, iPhone, tablets, desktops and laptops. I am so much more pleased with this laptop and how well it handles. I stream games from an Xbox console through a capture card to the laptop and monitor. This thing handles it like a charm. There is plenty of vents to keep it cool, my only suggestion it by a laptop stand to keep the vents completely open to its work. But other than that, I haven’t had any overheating issues at all.

The primary reason to choose a 14-inch gaming laptop is portability. It is in keeping with this consideration that I am rating this offering from ASUS. Without a doubt the ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14 fulfills this role by providing powerful gaming performance, coupled with maximum portability. As someone who frequently travels, I am looking forward to taking this model with me when I am away from home. I am also looking forward to the next LAN party I attend because I now have a gaming laptop that I can easily transport and put into service anywhere. Is it bulkier than a non-gaming compact laptop? Yes of course it is due to the discrete GPU, beefier power supply, and enhanced cooling system. The specs speak for themselves, but thanks to the Ryzen 7 5800HS CPU, 16 GBs of dual channel memory, and NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU, this laptop has more than enough horsepower to suitably run any game, new or old, on the market. This is especially thanks to the NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU which provides blazing fast performance. I first tested it with StarCraft 2 because that is a game that I know well, and because it is a game that is still popular to this day for multiplayer. Playing StarCraft 2 for a few hours left me especially pleased by the seamless performance and framerates of 120+ FPS were consistently maintained. I then played Elden Ring and was once again very favorably impressed by the performance and playability. Since I often have downtime when I am traveling, I am very much looking forward to being able to fill that time with playing my favorite PC since I do not have as much time to game when I am home. Another nice feature of this laptop is the bright, FHD display. When I am on the go without access to a monitor, the colorful 1080P display is very much appreciated and makes gaming and watching videos easy on the eyes and very enjoyable. The brilliant colors it produces and 144Hz refresh rate really makes a difference. Some features some may miss is that the display is not a touch screen, and there is not an integrated camera.I rarely use touch screens so this is not a problem for me. Likewise I rarely use the integrated camera in my laptop except for Windows Hello facial recognition. Fortunately, the power button has a fingerprint reader built in, and is Windows Hello capable. The trackpad is very responsive and is more than capable of being used when I can't utilize a mouse, which is my preferred tracking device. There is an integrated microphone. The integrated speakers are Dolby Atmos capable and sound excellent. They really benefit from the bulkier laptop case which helps with the sound reproduction. The 512 GB drive would have been considered great a couple of years ago but today is considered basic today. This is not a problem for me because I rarely have more than 2 games installed at one time. I really like the ASUS Armoury Crate software as it provides a high degree of control and customization of the laptop. It provides an extensive readout on the laptop operating specifications and allows the laptop CPU and GPU to be configured in several different ways. I chose Performance mode on AC power and set the integrated GPU to handle non-intensive tasks and the discrete GPU to take over when needed for intensive requirements. When on battery power it is best to not engage the Nvidia GPU because it will rapidly drain the battery. There is a function in ASUS Armoury Crate called Aura which allows the selection and use of various wallpapers and illumination patterns. There are many to choose from and they are very well designed. I turned the function off because they cause a substantial hit to processing power. I will tuen Aura back on when I am not gaming and not concerned with the resource hit. When PC gaming on battery power, game dependent, I was able to get 3 or 4 hours of gameplay, with the NVIDIA GPU. Using the discrete GPU for standard computing tasks (web browsing, checking email, watching videos) I was able to get closer to 10 hours of use. The keyboard is backlit which makes the keys easy to see in low light. But during the day the whitish color makes the characters hard to make out with the backlight on. The keys have more travel than normal for a laptop, but whether you like it or not will depend on your personal preference. I prefer key travel so I like the design and find it very enjoyable to type on. A 180 watt power adapter that uses a proprietary connector is included, and is required to unlock the full potential of the device. However, I was able to use generic USB-C power adapters with varying results. A 65 watt adapter operated it at near normal parameters. While one 45 adapter powered it near normal, while a different 45 watt did not and put the GPU settings into Extreme Power Saving. This is likely due to the second 45 watt adapter having a lower AMP rating. The product box is nicely designed and prominently features the appropriate ROG branding. Likewise the laptop is aesthetically pleasing and has a premium look and feel to it. The lid exterior does not have the animation function, but does feature a multi-colored design finish that is very distinct, sharp, and noticeable. In closing this ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14 model is an excellent choice for the gamer that prioritizes portability. It runs somewhat hot, but that is to be expected because of the horsepower under the hood. Since it absolutely crushes non-gaming tasks, this allows it to meet my non-gaming requirements on the road. If you are not as concerned about portability then there are always larger gaming laptops like the Zephyrus G15 or G16, which fulfill different roles. But if a compact gaming laptop is what you need, then look no further than the ROG Zephyrus 14.
