ASUS - ROG Zephyrus 14" WQXGA 120Hz Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9 - 16GB DDR5 Memory - AMD Radeon RX 6800S - 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD - Moonlight White

This laptop is amazing, small powerful great battery and build quality is great the only complaint not really complaint for me but something to take note of is that the chassis gets very hot under max load I don’t really mind but someone might but that’s what you get for it being so powerful and small

TLDR: Low noise, great build quality, great performance, but stock SSD needs replacement After owning it for a bit over 3 weeks I am absolutely in love with this laptop. It has a great display, weird resolution (a bit higher than 1440p) but great picture quality and color. Doesn't get so hot to the point where it hurts to touch the keyboard. The Radeon 6800s still performs great though and can get you 75 fps at native resolution on High settings in most modern titles. The keyboard feels great to type on and the backlighting looks amazing. The backlight isn't super bright and flashy but is still noticeable. It's more like an accent color. The biggest concern most users should be aware of are RAM, SSD, and wireless adapter. This laptop has 8GB of ram soldered to the motherboard(cannot be removed). If you want to retain dual-channel memory you have to stay at 16GB (which is more than enough for playing games). The biggest concern so far is the SSD. The stock SSD has troubles waking up from sleep, hibernation, and shutdown. I'm not the only one to experience this issue, there are plenty of reddits talking about this issue. After turning off the laptop refuses to give a display unless it is restarted a few times. I solved this issue by replacing the SSD (there is only one M.2 slot). The stock SSD seems like it's high quality, it's made by Micron and has a good controller. Anyway, I bought a cheap 2TB TeamGroup SSD (PCIe Gen 3) and came upon the issue of the wireless adapter. For some reason, the wireless adapter didn't work at all (probably a driver issue). If you do decide to swap out the SSD, have an ethernet connection prepared or use your phone and a USB cable to share connection because you will NOT be able to connect to wifi during setup. After you finish setting up windows just go to ASUS's website to download the drivers for the wireless adapter again. After replacing the SSD I have had no problems with the laptop. You can get good battery life from it by disabling the GPU and using the graphics attached to the Ryzen 9 CPU (APU technically). I don't because I just use my laptop for playing games. I have no regrets about purchasing this laptop, just wish it shipped with a different SSD.

Overall, amazing laptop. Great for making music and great for playing games. It gets a tad hot but because I use it on a desk I don’t notice the heat. Plus the fans help a lot. Sadly, because of the audio driver that came with the laptop I can’t use headphones in the audio jack. To get around this I have to use a usb c to audio jack adapter. Which is the only reason why I can’t give the laptop 5 stars. Sadly, Still have not found a solution, but I also found ways around it. Still love the laptop like a child though.

Context: I've had it for about a week. Everything I could want in a laptop; great keyboard and trackpad, solid build quality, awesome screen that gets bright enough so i can work inside or out. Battery lasts 8-9 hours of 'typical' use It gets hot, though! Takes some messing about in the Armory Crate software to get the settings right to do what you want. Typical use (YouTube, web browsing, few word docs open) doesn't get noticeably hot and even during heavy use the fans aren't loud enough to affect gaming experience. Also: I've got one or two random BSOD, but i'm fairly sure that's a Windows 11 issue.

Just compared my 6800S to a brand new 6700S model. The screen on my model seems darker than that on the 6700S model. Can't even send it for exchange now since it's already out of stock. Might have to return it and wait for a new one or just buy a different brand

Amazing gaming laptop. If you want a laptop that is portable but can still handle AAA titles you can’t go wrong.

Best choice if you need portable laptop that you can use for gaming. However if you dont care for portability much and listen to a lot of music then go with 15" version because speakers on this laptop are not very loud.

BEWARE! BEWARE!! BEWARE!!!... This is *NOT* the GA402RK model as described on the ASUS product page! Whereas the ASUS product page clearly indicates: "Memory: 16GB DDR5 on board 16GB DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM Max Capacity : 32GB Support dual channel memory" This model has only 8GB of Single-Channel RAM on-board! This is *NOT* the 16GB on-board RAM model! ASUS does *NOT* have a GA402RK model that comes with only 8GB on-board RAM! Therefore: This model does NOT have 16GB on-board RAM! You can NOT upgrade to 32GB, as described on the manufacturer's product page! You can NOT benefit from Dual-Channel bandwidth if you upgrade the RAM (the system will slow down to only Single-Channel mode and speed)! The maximum RAM you can put in the available slot is 16GB, which, along with the 8GB on-board RAM, would result in total 24GB of *Single-Channel* (slower) RAM! So, repeating; - The system comes with ONLY *8GB* on-board RAM! - You can *NOT* upgrade to 32GB as described by ASUS! - You will *LOSE* Dual-Channel memory speed if you upgrade the RAM! Please beware!
