ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" OLED 3K 120Hz Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS - 32GB LPDDR5X - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - 1TB SSD - Platinum White

The Zephyrus G14 Is an absolute beast of a laptop, in a small package! As of writing this review, I've had my laptop for a little over two weeks. I must say, I'm addicted to it! From playing heavy and light games to doing everyday productivity and work, it does it all with ease and comfort. To start, the build of this laptop is phenomenal! The chassis of the laptop is all metal, except for the keys and touchpad. It is sturdy, yet so lightweight weighing around three pounds. I find it incredibly easy to tote this laptop around in my backpack with its charger and an external mouse. The screen of this laptop is beyond gorgeous. The crisp 3k resolution, bright and vivid OLED with deep blacks, and an exceptional 120 Hz for smooth picture. It feels great on the eyes, especially in the dark with dark mode enabled. I honestly can't go back to a normal LCD display after using this! My eyes are so happy haha. The keys are a good size, fitting my fingers well, and being a good distance apart for easy typing. The only keys I have trouble with are the arrow keys, since they are so thin and tightly together. But that's to keep the layout clean and compact, which I can't complain much there! The keys have RGB backlighting, which you can customize in either armory crate, or G-helper, which is what I prefer to use. The backlights are nice and bright for day use, but for night I have gotten them very dark, just enough to see the keys, without being a distraction to the screen itself. I also have to give props to ASUS for the very large touchpad! It's incredible to use, offering tons of space for navigating the screen, and allowing easy 3 finger and 4 finger shortcuts built into windows. The touchpad is made of glass I believe, offering a smooth and satisfying texture for long and comfortable use. Now, we can't forget about the internals of this trooper. The RTX 4070 and Ryzen 9 8945hs offer wonderful performance, allowing me to play heavy duty games with very high frame rates. I have been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 with beautiful ultra and high graphics at 1080p, and am getting smooth framerates averaging at 80 fps, even in busy areas. The laptop does get hot running heavy loads, GPU easily reaching max temps at 86 degrees Celsius, and the CPU reaching 70 to 80 degrees, with CPU boost DISABLED! It can easily go into the 90s with it enabled. The metal chassis can get warm all around, but extremely hot above the keyboard, next to the armory crate button. The vents of the laptop are in that area, shooting out the back, sort of onto the bottom of the screen which is a little concerning to me. So far I have had no issues though. The battery life is pretty good in the laptop when using just the integrated graphics. Don't expect all day use without a charger, but you can definitely get several hours doing basic work and doing basic productivity tasks. The integrated graphics are actually very good, and perform well! smaller or mid end games can be achieved with integrated graphics with good framerates. Overall, the laptop is phenomenal. An absolute incredible piece of technology, surely to last a good amount of years to come! I am satisfied with this purchase, and would recommend buying it on sale since it is on the more pricey end. Easy 5 out of 5!

These features keep the laptop cool and quiet, even during intense gaming sessions. Audio: The audio experience is equally impressive, with enhanced woofers that deliver clear and vibrant sound.

It’s an excellent choice for gamers and creators looking for a high-performance laptop that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics or build quality. Whether you’re gaming, creating content, or just browsing, this laptop delivers on all fronts.

The Zephyrus G14 is easily one of the best laptops I’ve owned .I got the 4070 version. I mainly use it for gaming, and it’s handled everything smoothly…no crashes, no slowdowns. In PUBG, I get around 120–140 FPS on low and 60–70 FPS on high, with consistent performance and no lag even during intense firefights. Yes, it gets warm near the volume button and the fans can be loud…the battery life is not that bad (4- 6 hrs)but that’s expected for a slim gaming laptop. The performance never dips, so it doesn’t bother me. What really makes it a good pick for me is the combo of power and portability. It’s lightweight, clean in design (almost feels like apple quality), and doesn’t scream “gamer,” but still delivers where it counts. Has OLED screen which is really nice. Whether I’m gaming, working, or on the go, the G14 hasn’t let me down. Im very satisfied. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for serious performance without the bulk.

As an amateur (please be aware - "amateur" as in my wife and dog are my only fans...) hardware reviewer who’s tested everything from high-end desktops to gaming laptops, I can confidently say the 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is the most well-rounded, versatile laptop I’ve ever used. After reviewing heavy hitters like the MacBook Pro 14/16 (M3 Pro/Max), Legion 9i Gen 9, MSI Titan 18HX, and Razer Blade 18 (RTX 4090), the G14 stands out as the clear winner in 2024. Let’s start with design. This machine strikes the perfect balance between portability and power. It’s small but not too small, with a sleek, premium look. The keyboard is top-tier, providing a smooth and responsive typing experience that puts other laptop keyboards to shame. Meanwhile, the trackpad and the iconic slash lighting add a touch of class that’s both functional and aesthetic. The screen is where this G14 truly shines. The 120Hz 3K OLED display is hands down the best I’ve ever used—vibrant, sharp, and a joy to look at whether gaming or working. It outshines the 2023 G14, which had frame drops and heat issues. This 2024 model nails the visual experience. Moving on to performance, the pairing of the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and Nvidia RTX 4070 is stellar. I’ve been playing games like Ghost of Tsushima on max settings with AMD Frame Generation, and this laptop blazes through it without breaking a sweat. No stuttering, no frame drops—just smooth, seamless gaming. Even GTA 5 runs like a dream. What’s even more impressive is how cool and quiet this laptop stays during heavy gaming sessions, thanks to its efficient design. The sound quality is a pleasant surprise, too. I initially thought it was average, but after tweaking the Dolby audio settings, I was blown away. It’s the best sound I’ve heard from any gaming laptop. The battery life is also outstanding—using GHelper and optimizing settings, I’m getting 9-11 hours on light use, which is nearly unheard of for a gaming laptop of this caliber. While I’ve tested some beasts this year (looking at you, MSI Titan 18HX and Legion 9i), they couldn’t match the G14’s overall package of performance, portability, and value. Sure, the RTX 4070 isn’t a 4090, but in this machine, it’s perfectly balanced and gets the job done without making you feel like you’re lugging around a desktop replacement. In conclusion, the 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is my new daily driver and the best laptop I’ve ever used. Whether for work or gaming, it excels in every category that matters—performance, design, display, sound, and battery life. It’s the ultimate gaming laptop for those who need versatility without compromising power.

Screen: Best I have seen in any laptop... Ever. Sound: Best I have ever heard in any laptop... Ever. Keyboard & Trackpad: Best I have used in any laptop... Ever. NVidia 4070: I play all my games on high everything, absolutely do problems. I also utilize the AI features of this specific card and it is fantastic. You will love gaming, coding, and everyday stuff with this laptop and with this card. RAM: It's 32 GB in a laptop. Stop pretending it is better to be able to install RAM. That's only the case if they don't give you enough. 32 GB is enough. It wasn't enough when they sold the G14 with lower amounts of RAM. Soldered RAM is faster and more efficient, especially in terms of power conservation... The RAM performance is fantastic. Lighting: The keyboard lighting is the best on the entire series of laptops. This is my third personally owned G14. I'm responsible for a lot of G14 sales because it's what I recommend to just about everyone. Slash lighting is cool, could have a few more options on how to utilize it, but there is already software for better options. QC: Any complaint I had with the g14 2023 model was addressed with this one. Fantastic build. Amazing look. Storage: 1TB storage is solid both in terms of size and performance. I will probably upgrade this in terms of performance, but I'm definitely not in a hurry because it is really good. Battery: I think it's great. Just take advantage of the power features. People that complain about "only 4 hours of usage" while having everything maxed out are insane. It's a battery. It's sufficient in size and the power options to get the most out of your battery are fantastic. Weight: This this is awesome to carry around. I love the power, performance, weight balance... So was it worth driving 2 hours, one way, to get it? Now that I have both seen and used it... I would have driven 8 hours, one way, to get it. Yes. Go get one. The second you can find it available, go get one. Did you buy one yet? Go get one.
