Customers appreciate the ROG Zephyrus G14's impressive performance, long battery life, and its compact, lightweight design, making it highly portable. Many also praise the build quality and powerful GPU. However, some users express concerns regarding the device's tendency to overheat, the keyboard backlight, and the noticeable fan noise. The lack of a webcam is another frequently cited drawback.
- Great design for such powerful performance - Keyboard feels great and tactile; however, it is true that the backlight is simply sucks. - Color accuracy is about 8/10, 120hz is great for casual gaming and productivity, ghosting due to low refresh rate is there but rarely happens. It also has freesync built in with the display. - When heavy gaming, fan is loud (turbo) and the chassis is more than just warm, but it is the same case as any gaming laptop. If you want quiet and cool gaming, just built a pc, really. Fan is always on, but to put perspective, my home and office ac system is louder; therefore, I can barely hear the laptop’s. - Battery is great. Not sure about 10 hrs like you tubers’ reviews but definitely better than most gaming laptop (>5 hrs of productivity) - Ryzen 9 4000 series is lightning fast for regular users. Even though rtx 2060 MAX-q does not sound that good for gamers, it get the jobs done ( >100 FPS on madden, fifa, nba; 60->75 on forza, sekiro -all in highest setting) - Overall, better built than most ROG laptops (Owned a GU502gv last year) in the past that infamously knowns for low quality built quality.

The laptop is simply amazing, especially for its size. Pros: - The AMD Ryzen 9 processor brings the frame rates in the majority of my games ALL the way down. I can even play on Max settings! Download speed is also really fast. -1TB of SSD is so helpful for keeping all the games without having to undownload things. -the laptop is small enough to be put into a regular backpack - or large purse - without having to purchase a laptop backpack. - has an excellent battery life. I can use it for up to 8-10 hours when doing things other than gaming or watching videos. When gaming or watching videos it normally lasts around 2-4 hours - which is still great!! - I love the keys backlighting, it makes it SO easy to work in the dark. -finger print scanner!!!!! I love it!! It can be a little iffy sometimes, but at least you don’t have to keep typing in your password. -GEForce RTX and Armoury crate makes gaming SO much easier. AC has 4 different settings for different tasks. My favorite is the windows and gaming option. Gaming option is, of course, best for gaming, while windows option helps when you’re doing school work or emailing. -I’m a graphic designer, and this laptop runs Adobe programs without ANY issue. It also runs blender great. Cons: -No camera. You’ll have to purchase a separate camera for video chatting. -has way too many type-c ports. More USB ports would be helpful considering mice and headphones are more likely to have either USB cords or audio jacks. -only 1 audio jack port. At least two should be available. -USB ports are weirdly placed, there should be at least one audio jack port and one USB port next to each other so that people with RGB headphones can use their RGB (some require an audio port and a USB port). -the screen is smaller than I’m use to, but the graphic quality on it makes it worth it. If you’re wanting a big screen, you might want to invest in a monitor for this laptop. -can get overheated easy when you use it on your lap, so it’s best used on a level and solid surface. -when it gets over heated or when the fans turn on to prevent overheating, they are LOUD! So if you’re looking for a quiet work computer, this one might not be good for you. BUT, it never gets TOO hot, so any internal melting is very unlikely. Over all, this laptop is amazing! I highly recommend it as a starter gaming laptop. I’ll try to remember to come back after a year!

This notebook is a slim and lightweight gaming notebook that pretty much runs any game above 60+ FPS with a 120Hz screen and a battery that lasts ~ 7 to 10 hours. Of course when you're gaming the battery will last only about ~2 to 3 hours. I really enjoy the way the screen folds up and lifts the laptop up a little bit for better circulation. I've already noticed that this laptop does not run hot compared to previous gaming laptops I have owned. The fans are powerful, the AMD Ryzen Series 9 is super fast and the RTX 2060 is capable of handling windows tasks and gaming at lightning speeds. I really enjoy the slim, sleek, and almost silent gaming laptop which doesn't scream RGB lighting and obnoxious designs. It weighs about 4 lbs, has a slim and small charging cable, and I can run almost any game out there on high or ultra settings (Hunt: Showdown, Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 5, GTA 5, Fortnite, Mortal Kombat 11, CoD MW, COD WZ). This little notebook is a beast, it's lightning fast, and is very quiet when you're not gaming which is nice.
