Powerful Laptop for Engineering Student
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.

Amazing laptop
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 :)

The Little Beast
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!

Get this on a deal - Spectacular Laptop
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!

Still good in 2025, easy SSD/RAM upgrades
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.
