Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: - Beautiful screen and keyboard. Absolutely gorgeous laptop (I love the keyboard a lot). - The speakers are truly amazing. I don't use the computer speakers enough that this is a huge thing for me, but worth noting. - Runs everything I've tried smoothly and easily, haven't had any issues with performance at all so far (running everything on either balanced or performance mode; turbo mode makes it run at about 90 degrees C while gaming). - While it heats up when running games, it cools down pretty fast after the applications are closed. I haven't heard the fans hardly at all, it's nice and quiet. - Battery life was pretty good when I wasn't gaming. - Extremely quick startup time (competing with Chromebook for startup times). - I have had absolutely no problems with this computer itself in terms of running/downloading programs effectively and quickly. Cons: - Runs VERY HOT, I've only used this computer with a cooling mat and after playing two rounds of helldivers with nothing but Spotify and temp gauge open in the background, GPU and CPU were both sitting at 85 degrees C. I haven't had a temperature problem while doing anything other than gaming. I thought it might have been a product defect as this was an open box purchase, but based on the multitude of other reviews noting the temperature, I think this bad boy just doubles as an egg cooker. - Soldered RAM. This is not a concern for me because I don't need anything more than 16gb DDR5, but if you need something more, maybe a 32gb of at least DDR4 is better for you. I wish the computer didn't get so hot. That is really my only concern. It hasn't effected gameplay or anything else I've tried so far, but helldivers isn't a terribly difficult game to run, so such high temperatures for just that are definitely a concern. I love the look of this computer and I don't want to return it, but I haven't decided if the overheating is a dealbreaker for me or not. While I haven't personally tried the Lenovo Legion, I've seen no reviews claiming the same heat issues. Overall, I think that the ROG G14 is a great little laptop, and if you need a work computer that doubles as a little gaming PC occasionally, it's pretty much perfect. I would only recommend this to a friend that doesn't plan to game for extended periods of time, or use games that take a lot of umph to run.

First Impressions & Design Straight out of the box, the G14 impresses with its sleek CNC aluminum chassis that feels both sturdy and premium—much like what you'd expect from a MacBook Pro-esque design . At just about 3.3 pounds (review sources report 3.31 lbs), it’s impressively portable for a gaming laptop . Love that thin, light, and still packing serious firepower. --- Display & Audio The 2.8K OLED panel—120 Hz, vibrant colors, Dolby Vision support—makes everything pop, whether you're gaming or binge-watching . It’s sharp, bright (500 nits), and smooth. And the sound? The six-speaker Dol-by Atmos setup is punchy and unexpected for a laptop this size—better than most competitors . --- Keyboard & Trackpad Typing feels solid—clicky keys, roomy layout, plus bonus macro keys and per-key RGB lighting—great for gaming and productivity . The glass touchpad is smooth and precise, even if it’s no fancy haptic model. Still, for everyday use, it’s flawless . --- Performance This version uses an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS with options for RTX 4060 or 4070 GPUs. Performance is solid—great for gaming and creative work . It handles most modern games smoothly at high play, even at 2.8K/medium settings (think 50–60 fps) . That said, the 70 W 4060 doesn’t scream top-tier power compared to heavier laptops—but that’s the tradeoff for portability . --- Battery Life This is the compromise. Expect roughly 11 hours of light usage (web browsing, Office work), but only about 2 hours when gaming—pretty typical for OLED gaming laptops . Review benchmarks confirm: around 3 hours 42 minutes under light office workloads, and under 2 hours gaming; video playback clocks in at nearly 8 hours . In short: best to stay near a charger when gaming. --- Downsides Soldered ram No second ssd slot Gets very hot. But after downloading ghelper, settings can be tweaked to get it to run games quietly and stay colder without loosing performance. Final Verdict Rating: 5/5 The 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 nails portability, design, display, and audio. It’s a high-end gaming laptop that doesn’t feel like one—perfect for both serious play and everyday tasks. Its biggest limits are battery life under heavy use and lack of upgrade options, but for most users, that’s a fair trade for such a sleek and capable machine.

ASUS G14 2024 Model RTX 4060 16 GB RAM TL;DR Powerful, portable and despite what anyone would say it has great performance thanks to the RTX 4060 GPU although the RAM might be a little less. THE SCREEN IS MASSIVELY AMAZING. It’s a great choice for gamers and power users, but has some drawbacks in terms of battery life and price. Pros Performance: BOSS of a CPU! Excellent performance for gaming and demanding tasks. Handles modern games and intensive applications smoothly. Portability- The reason why I bought it. Weighing in at just over 3.5 pounds, the G14 is highly portable, making it easy to carry around for work or gaming on the go. Display- Breaks the bank! The 14-inch OLED display is sharp and vibrant, with good color accuracy and 120 Hz refresh rates that enhance the gaming experience. Build Quality- Built solidly! The laptop has a solid build quality with a sleek, modern design. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the touchpad is responsive. Cooling System could be better. But hey, its a laptop! The cooling system is effective at managing heat during intensive tasks, preventing throttling and maintaining performance. Cons Battery Life - okayish. While the G14 is portable, its battery life is somewhat disappointing, especially during gaming sessions or heavy use. But some users say you can get upto 10 hours if you optimize it properly. Price The G14 2024 model is on the pricier side, which might be a barrier for some buyers unless its on sale on BestBuy. Port Selection-No ethernet port with a somewhat bad(?) wifi card. The selection of ports is somewhat limited, which may require carrying additional adapters for some users. Conclusion The ASUS G14 2024 model with RTX 4060 and 16GB RAM is a strong contender in the gaming laptop market. It offers great performance and portability, making it a solid choice for gamers and power users who need a capable machine on the go. However, the high price and limited battery life might be a drawback for some.

I have had many laptops over the years and currently have a Macbook Air, Macbook Pro and 2 Lenovo Legions. This is my overall favorite laptop for my needs. The closest comparison I could think of was the Dell XPS 13 I had last year. It was a beautiful little notebook with maxed out specs and a touch screen. I sold it within 5 months. The fans throttled on it even during regular web browsing and the battery life was awful. This Zephyrus is like night and day. Build quality is solid and the screen is just gorgeous. Performance exceeds expectations for my particular needs. I can browse the web, do simple tasks and watch video with absolutely no fan noise. Even when doing more intensive tasks, the fans are absolutely reasonable. Although I wish I had more RAM, so far I have not experienced any signs at all that the current 16GB is limiting me. I was able to get this on sale plus I had $90 in Rewards so this little rig cost me $1300 total. I feel it was well worth it at that price. If the 32GB, 4070 was on sale for $1600 or below I would have def grabbed that model, but at $1999 it def wasn't worth the price premium for my needs. I love this little laptop and highly recommend it for all but the most intensive tasks.

I bought this laptop recently, and the experience has been outstanding. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is an absolute powerhouse. With the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and the NVIDIA RTX 4060, it handles demanding games and heavy multitasking with ease. The 14” 3K OLED 120Hz display is stunning—vivid colors, deep contrast, and ultra-smooth performance whether you’re gaming, watching movies, or working on creative tasks. The design is also a major plus: sleek, modern, and lightweight, especially in the Platinum White finish. Portability is excellent for a gaming laptop, and the cooling system keeps things running cool even during longer sessions. Storage and speed are top-tier thanks to the 1TB SSD and 16GB LPDDR5X RAM. Pros: • Excellent performance for gaming and productivity • Beautiful OLED 3K display • Sleek and lightweight design • Fast storage and great build quality Cons: • On the pricier side, but worth it for what you get • RAM is soldered, so it’s not upgradeable Final verdict: One of the best gaming and professional laptops out there. Totally recommended if you’re looking for a compact powerhouse with a gorgeous display.

Received at a discount of $1000, and very pleased with results at that price point. Beautiful 2k OLED display, though screen size does leave something to be desired at 14”. Incredibly lightweight, perfect for travel. Performs moderately well in demanding tasks like gaming but gets VERY hot and VERY loud fast.

This is an absolutely amazing laptop if you are craving one of the best thin and lights for gaming, at only around 3lbs this laptop can literally fit in almost any bag and can run most games at 1440p over 60fps easily. Played all of God of War on this device. Speakers are absolutely amazing and the best I have ever heard on any laptop, even better than Macbooks. I could go on all day about this laptop, if you goal is a thin and light there is no better windows laptop at the moment! The OLED screen is beautiful too! Battery life last about 7-8 hours using basic task and I recommend using G-Helper. Here are pictures of the Macbook and G14 side by side

Got this to game on during the summer when my steam deck can’t run a game at acceptable frames or if I need a mouse and keyboard. My 4090 dumps so much heat in the Texas summer along with my 32oled monitor and this thing has allowed me to game in other parts of my house without my home getting 80 degrees. The oled display is great with good battery life for office use. I’m glad I got the 4060 for heat and noise think the 4070 is overkill I would have preferred more ram but this runs overwatch well and docks well vertical for my monitor for office setup and old mmo I play on silent profile. Speakers are also very good for a laptop and especially for one its size. I hope it lasts and I don’t have to rma I wish the ram was upgradable but for my use case it’s fine. My wife has a Mac book pro m3 14 and it’s on par with the quality with a better display and I got it for less than that but can play windows games so I’m happy. I would get rid on armory crate and use ghelper that cleans up the experience but besides that and myasus the bloatware is pretty minimal. I got it on sale for about 1400 with tax and I’m happy with that price considering the screen and small form factor. I would get laptop cooler or small stand like I have it’s a cooler master snd allows the machine to breath so temps and noise don’t get out of control. I got some usb fans that I can plug into have a make shift cooler as well id needed but I haven’t really required them but nice having the option.

I've owned the 2024 Zephrous ROG G14 4060 for about a month now. I can say with no hesitation, you will not be disappointed with this laptop. It is by far, the best laptops I've ever owned. Things I really like: The display. It is just amazing. 2.8K OLED is a must have on anything now a day. The colors will truly knock your socks off evertime you use it! The speakers! Dude I cannot tell you the first time I played something on this laptop. My brother in the other room legit exclaimed is that a movie!? That's how good the speakers are. The size. The size of this 14 inch laptop is just great for anything. It is super portable and is down right useful. Things I don't like: Sometimes the computer overheats for no reason even on balanced preformance when you are running a game on close to native resoultion and max settings. Armory create controller is downright confusing to use. I recommend uninstalling it and using G-Helper if you really want to control this laptop better.

I believe this is a well specc'ed device. Hardware components are soldered. With that being said: Excellent blend of both performance and portability worlds. Extremely premium build quality. OEM charger for gaming and demanding tasks. Can use USB-c charging @100W for portability and versatility. g-Helper is a very powerful tool that can replace armory crate and myAsus. Can stay cool when setting adjusted with low fan use. Almost necessary to refine experience, improved on ASUS OEM software, easy tuning, no permanent changes. Comparable to Macbook Pro power and build quality. Can be used as a light weight computer, MBA comparable, comfortable on lap, not hot, when settings adjusted. Used g-Helper. Can get very hot and loud when extended or demanding gaming; recommend cooling pad and HDMI cable. Max temp 94deg at GPU hotspot during extended gaming sessions. Keyboard and palm rest will stay relatively not hot. Can play Palworld on high with 50FPS. Unlikely to perform well for the newest, most demanding AAA games. G14 4060 is not designed for high end gaming. But rather the jack-of-all-trades. HTPC-midrange gaming-emails and word processing-studying-basic lightroom usage-basic productivity software-etc. Consider 4070, 32gb for specific use case only and if its worth the extra $400 (when 4070 on sale). 4070 has vapor cooling so slightly less noisy. All others specs exactly the same. Recommend larger laptop or desktop for more power if needed. Personally prefer G14 over Zenbook 14X and 14. G14 is a powerful multi-tasking-oriented playful productivity device. It is not a purpose built $4000+ desktop. Would not recommend for someone looking for a purpose build device for large video/raw footage processing or professional/competitive gaming. **Would recommend to anyone looking for a high end multipurpose machine that can handle the vast majority of required computer tasking, including moderate gaming. Would recommend to everyone I know.

TL;DR: I love most aspects of this device, but there's some things that the average user should know about. Below is my comprehensive review of the 2024 G14, with the 4060 mobile and 16GB of RAM. I'll try to cover build quality, display fidelity, performance, upgradeability, software and alternatives to the stock software loadout, and the overall user experience. Build Quality The build quality of this laptop is great. CNC aluminum is basically a must for me in any gaming laptop worth its salt, and the 2024 G14 definitely delivers. The palm rests feel great, as do the hinge and lid. The glass bezel around the display adds to the overall premium feel, as well. It's still not *quite* to the level of a MacBook Pro (which I'm coming from), but that's to be expected considering the lower price tag. I also appreciate the altogether look of the device, and it definitely stands out in a good way with its MacBook-esque appearance + gaming flourishes, such as the slash on the lid. Display Fidelity The OLED display is excellent - no complaints whatsoever here. It gets more than bright enough for my uses, the colors are fantastic and the 120Hz refresh rate matches the performance the mobile 4060 can output. I have to warn about potential burn-in to prospective buyers, but I haven't had the laptop long enough to experience it myself, so just take caution with long-lasting elements on the screen. Performance The base performance while just browsing the OS and the Internet is complication-free. Everything loads quickly without stuttering and Windows's RAM management comes in clutch to prevent the 16GB of RAM from becoming an issue. In fact, it seems to me to be faster with web browsing than my custom-built desktop, which can probably be attributed to the faster soldered RAM and faster SSD. As for gaming performance, it's perfectly fine for my use case, but it won't be enough for everyone. The mobile 4060 at 90W is weaker than a desktop A580 Intel Arc GPU, for reference, although it has the stack of NVIDIA features to compensate for that. The GPU's fine for lighter titles at max settings (for reference, my most frequently-played games are HoYoverse titles like Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero, both of which are on the lighter side). But if you ask anything more than that from the GPU - like a UE5 title, for instance - it'll crumple under the pressure. Be prepared to lower settings in that instance. Upgradeability Unfortunately, the RAM on this machine can't be upgraded, as aforementioned. That might be a limitation of the 8945HS, for all I know, but whatever the reason is, it's a huge shame. To ensure longevity, I recommend anyone with a flexible budget to purchase the 32GB version of this laptop, though I know that in the US, that version comes with a 4070 as standard and therefore bumps the price significantly. The M.2 SSD is thankfully swappable, though it's limited to PCIe Gen 4.0 speeds, for anyone considering a 5.0 drive. I'm personally considering a 4TB Samsung 990 Pro for mine. Software ASUS is as guilty as other OEMs of installing garbage like antivirus software on their computers out of the gate, and from what I've heard of this SKU, it's no exception. For that reason, I recommend prospective buyers to do as I did and wipe the drive with a clean Windows installation as soon as you get yours. Your system will run faster and more consistently, and you can just get GHelper to replace Armory Crate in case you want to do any tweaking. Overall Experience & Conclusion The overall experience I've been having with this laptop has been unproblematic, save for me trying to apply an overclock via Afterburner and corrupting my NVIDIA driver in the process. So maybe avoid doing that on yours, lol. Aside from that, it's been a remarkably consistent device by Windows standards, and I can strongly recommend it in most instances if you're in the right price range and it's on sale. Don't pay $1.6k USD for this machine, as at that point, you'd be better-off with something with a 4070 or better - hopefully, the same G14 with the 32GB of RAM on board. I haven't tested battery life, as I don't use the laptop away from the wall and I recommend other users treat theirs the same way. You'll lose a lot of performance and battery life on any gaming laptop will be hamstrung by the x86 CPU architecture. The pre-included power brick easily keeps up with the power consumption of games, meaning that the laptop doesn't dip below 100% in these cases. One more thing: ASUS are somewhat notorious for their poor quality control, and my previous ASUS gaming laptop (a TUF Gaming A15 with the 1660 Ti) was a victim of Wi-Fi card failure, for instance. Getting rid of the bloatware can help with this somewhat, but won't entirely prevent hardware failure or the device coming out of the box with issues. If yours has any problems out of the gate, go through Best Buy's support if possible, NOT ASUS's, as I've heard bad things about the latter. TL;DR: Great laptop, some minor issues like bloatware and major ones like the soldered RAM, overall a premium experience that I can recommend.

I've been using my 10th ASUS laptop for a couple months now. I have to say that it provides great value for the price! It runs every game I've tried at 60 fps minimum, without any lagging or issues. That said, there is an issue trying to use the touchpad for moving the camera while gaming. This one frequently hangs up or just fails to function properly. Replacing that input with a mouse resolved the issue. Outside of gaming, I've had no problems with the touchpad, so I'm not sure exactly where the issue is. Just keep in mind that you'll want a mouse to play Halo, Destiny 2, Monster Hunter Wilds or whatever your favorite series is. If you're into folding@home or bitcoin farming, the graphics card will rip out packets in short order. As for work activities, every app has worked quickly and flawlessly. This is just a great lightweight laptop with superior processing and graphics.

This laptop looks beautiful, travels great, and does its job so long as you don't push it to far. What i mean is just know what you're buying. Its meant for some high quality gameplay but not Ultra quality limit testing benchmarks. It will emulate anything you need. It can run a AAA title, and you will immerse in the OLED screen regardless of it being 14 or 16 inches. But this thing gets hot! It doesnt have the ability to really cool itself to play games under 90C. Limit your fps to 120 , G Helper your fan curves, and be intuitive about it. Know what youre buying and the limitations and you will not be disappointed!

I can run Helldivers 2 at 60fps 1080p… on a laptop as big as a Chromebook… FOR A PRICE AS GREAT AS THIS… I’m sorry but this laptop is incredible. My only regret is getting this version of it. Even if you just want it for gaming, get the version with 32gb of ram. You’ll end up wanting it for running Discord and Spotify on the side. It’s not a dealbreaker though. This laptop is incredible if you make good use of the 16gb of ram. This laptop is perfect for the average traveling gamer like me. It’s so slim and stylish. Tip for after you purchase: Delete Armory Crate and install GHelper. It’s a replacement where you can limit the heat of your system and adjust when fans kick in more or less. YOU WILL WANT THIS.

Absolutely astonishing laptop. I had an m1 macbook air and while that was a great machine, I was missing being able to play games after getting some work done. This was the first 'macbook that can game' that really stood out to me, while actually being kinda affordable (I.E not the razerblades). Pros: -Screen-It's absolutely incredible. High refresh rate, amazing colors, could be brighter but it's bright enough. I also love watching movies at night with no visible black bars due to the pitch-black blacks. Viewing angles are ok, there’s a weird rainbow-effect when viewing at an angle -Build quality- I'd say this is 90 percent of the build of my air. The main issue I have is the hinge, it's not the best. The screen flexes ever so slightly when opening, and there is a quiet but noticeable creak/popping sound when opening. It's really no big deal, its a nit-pick, but the rock solid screen and uber-smooth hinge of my mac really made it a joy to use. Otherwise, it's a beautiful device, the cnc chassis feels super great. -The speakers-fantastic speakers, really they are way better than my air. Fantastic bass, but not much soundstage. Not sure about other macs, but I'd guess not as good. -Keyboard- oh how I love typing on this keyboard. 10/10, a big upgrade over my mac. And it has colors!! -Trackpad- not as good as my mac, but it's close and never have I wished I were using a mouse -I/O-fantastic I/O. I love the hdmi and the microSD. I can get footage off of my GoPro without a dongle now! -Fans/heat- It's a fan-less laptop when doing basic tasks like web-browsing and coding assignments for school. According to g-helper, the cpu is at 30c right now as I type this. Mind-blowingly cool and silent on silent mode with below settings. Even when gaming, it's faily quiet and cool on the wrist rest and keys, but hot above the keyboard on balanced mode, which is fantastic. I dunno why people say this laptop is a hot one, for me it’s not. Battery- It's pretty good!! I'd say almost exactly what i've been getting with my mac, which is a great surprise(about 10 hours of light use 50% brightness) Seriously, this is so amazing, my last gaming laptop I had was a GS65 from 2018 and that got like 3 hours. Cons- -Slightly creaky hinge -Some battery drain when not in use. -Soldered memory. This really really sucks. 16gb is perfectly fine for me now, but what about 2 years from now? This really should have come with 32gb, or had a 4060 option with 32gb. -Delay with airpods-ok this is not asus's fault. There is a fraction of a second delay when using my airpods. No biggy, but my mac didn't have this. For me, it’s the perfect laptop!! Well, if it had more ram, but I still love it. Heres the settings for g-helper I used, and some helpful tips as instructed from a very friendly redditor: Get G-helper, and make sure you used the armory crate uninstaller to completely uninstall that, alongside rog virtual pet etc Accross all modes(silent/balanced/turbo): In fans + power(right side of turbo), find CPU boost (the 2nd drop down menu with a rocket icon) and choose efficient aggressive. In the 'advanced' tab of this popup window, set undervolting at -10. You may look up on undervolting the g14 and may be able to push further than -10 but this is a safe starting value. For silent mode change the power limits to 80, 70 ,70 and check apply power limits. While on battery g helper will show the power draw. If you set gpu to optimised(rtx gpu off when its not plugged) and the screen mode to Auto(60hz while on battery/maxed when plugged), while browsing(light tasks) the usage should be under 10w, and you should experience better battery life.

I recently got my hands on this notebook, and it has quickly become my go-to device for working with AI models. The performance is outstanding, thanks to its Nvidia card, making it perfect for running local LLMs with ease. One of the standout features is its lightweight and compact design, which means I can take it anywhere without hassle. Whether I'm at a coffee shop or traveling, it's easy to set up and start working. The lighted LED on the back of the monitor adds a nice touch of personalization, giving the notebook a unique and stylish look. It's not just a high-performing machine but also a sleek and modern piece of tech. Highly recommend it for anyone in the AI field or needing a powerful, portable workstation!

This is a great, slim and powerful gaming laptop. The OLED screen is fantastic on this laptop, real nice for gaming and content viewing. I would probably get the 32GB version if I could have a redo but this 16GB RAM model gets the job done for even modern games well, Just being unable to upgrade the RAM is unfortunate and the only real downside but I still give 5 stars as that is becoming more common on laptops in 2024 when I got this.

If you prioritize: -Heavy gaming/editing -Vibrant display -RGB/flashy design -portability -lots of ports Then this is the laptop for you. However, if any of these are a no-go... -Pretty okay battery life (for heavy tasks) -Warm to the touch -no touchscreen -high pitched fan noise Then maybe reconsider this option. Overall Thoughts: Great computer, I could ask for anything more, I love it and it can run my favorite games/programs. Also, it feels good to type on, and it's too flashy to bring to a local coffee shop.

Good for games, schoolwork and on the go! I bought this for a relative to play video games and for schoolwork and they've been really liking it. The battery can last 4+ hours. There seems to be no performance issues when playing video games. It's also quite lightweight. Much lighter than my macbook pro and comparable to my old macbook air. The keyboard lights up rainbow so yay for pride!!

This is an Epic Laptop. I purchased the RTX 4060 model while it was on sale. I don't play many triple A games, but the performance is great. In Helldivers 2 on medium settings at full Resolution (2880x1800) I get about 70fps minimum. Also Trackmania at full Res is very smooth. There are some games that automatically enable V-Sync, but I have yet to get better performance with it enabled. I have seen many reviews saying you have to run games at 1080p for higher frames and although that would help, the sharpness of full res is so worth the small drop in framerate. I also recommend downloading G Helper as it runs much smoother than the Stock Armoury Crate software. The speakers are great too. I would say they about equivalent to a portable Bluetooth speaker. I plan to upgrade the SSD to 2 TB someday but 1 TB is honestly plenty and the read/write speeds are no problem. The battery Life is good as long as you control the performance settings regularly based on your current tasks. the iGPU in its ECO mode, can run simpler games too! I use it to play low intensity roguelikes or puzzle games and it handles just fine. Even in balanced It has good battery life. As long as you tweak power/brightness settings, you can maximize battery life for casual use to over 8 hours. Obviously if you are going full performance for games, just plug it in. Also with some other adjustments you can get background RAM usage down to about 4.5gb which gives you more headroom for heavier tasks. Keyboard backlight is functional at best, nothing special. The Slash Lighting on the lid is pretty pointless, easily disabled through software (AC or Ghelper). With power management, The laptop doesn't get too hot either. and when it does heat up, the portions of keyboard under your hands stay cool so it doesn't feel much different. The screen wobbles only when initially opening or adjusting screen! Once in position there is no wobble at all even when on a soft surface and typing! Just be sure to take care of the OLED display and this laptop will last you years. I am pleased with the purchase, though I would recommend waiting to purchase until it goes on sale. it went down to $1,099 when I picked it up.
