Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing laptop! I wanted something that was powerful but could also game for when I travel. Battery life is excellent! What I wanted mostly in a laptop was small, portablity, and good battery life. This one is perfect for me. Great performer both video editing and gaming! Love that the dGPU can be disabled to extend battery life.

Great laptop for on the go use and very small so it doesn't take much space.

STATE OF THE ART PERFORMANCE NOISY FAN GREAT DISPLAY, SIZE AND WEIGHT

This little ultrabook format laptop is a massive power house. Don't let the size of processor fool you, its an amazing machine. I've gamed on it for hours at a time, it does warm up but thats what big processors and video cards do. So far I haven't run into a problem that this machine can't handle.

This laptop is great if you are looking for something that is a decently powerful gaming computer, something that is much more portable than most gaming laptops in a 14" form factor, has decent battery life, and is reasonably priced. Overall performance has been good for 1080P gaming. DLSS helps when available too. The computer does get a bit hot. I've had moderate use CPU temps between 40-60C often and under load CPU temps up to 95C. The surface of the laptop and keyboard can get pretty warm. This is all within specs, but also having a gaming PC tower they worried me at first. There are ways of keeping those temps down though if you are concerned about it with Armory Crate or Ryzen Controller. The fans can be a bit loud under load, but that's common of many laptops. When in silent mode the laptop is pretty quiet. The keyboard feels pretty good and was better than I expected. I wouldn't say it's as good or better than a ThinkPad's keyboard, but I think it is better than most that I've used on laptops. Unfortunately with the light silver color the white key backlight doesn't look great and makes it a bit hard to read the keys unless if you are in a dark room. I usually leave the key backlights off unless if I expect I am going to be in a dark room. The trackpad is good. The battery life when on silent mode and using the iGPU is great when doing non-gaming activities. I can probably get 10 hours, give or take depending on what I am doing. If you enable the dedicated graphics card and do things like gaming the battery life is significantly reduced however. Gaming laptops in general don't have long battery life when playing games and this laptop isn't any different, but having the option to have long battery life for casual use on battery is really nice. The screen looks really nice. Good vivid colors and 144hz refresh rate allows for really smooth movement, if can get the frames that high. The screen is 1080P, but I think that for a 14" screen that resolution is fine and looks sharp. 1080P is also easier on the 3060 rendering compared to a 1440P screen. There is minimal backlight bleed, but it isn't that bad. Some people have reported worse backlight bleed, so that is something I'd check if you get this laptop. The screen refresh rate is a little slow compared to fast refresh panels, so there is some motion blur and a little ghosting with fast movement. I think it's still plenty usable, including for FPSs, but if you play competitively you may want to get an external monitor that's bigger and has a faster refresh rate for when you are at home. The refresh rate may bug some people more than others, so that's something I'd check when you get this laptop. The G14 supports Power Delivery over USB-C, but it's not enough to provide as much power as the stock AC cable, so if you set your power profile to performance and you are on the USB-C cable you may be discharging more than you are charging. Something to keep in mind if you plan on using a USB-C dock. The USB-C PD also seems to only charges the battery and doesn't bypass the battery when fully charged, so if you are only using the USB-C PD you are constantly discharging and charging the battery, rather than the PD charging the battery then powering the G14 directly. So I consider the USB-C charging more of just an extra way to charge the battery on the go or for convenience rather than as a good alternative to the normal charger for daily use. The G14 doesn't have a webcam. The specs show this, but people may just expect one on every laptop. If you need to use a webcam you have to buy an external one and plug it in, or use ASUS's software to use your phone as a webcam. The speakers sound really good for onboard speakers. I was impressed. There is a bug where there is some audio hitching when on silent mode, but that can be fixed by changing the Wifi adapter mode to performance. As with almost all AMD computers there is no Thunderbolt ports. USB-C docks, hubs, and accessories are work as the left USB-C port also supports DisplayPort and Power Delivery. Something to keep in mind if you have anything that explicitly requires Thunderbolt. The only other notable issues I've had so far have mostly been driver related. The stock AMD drivers has trouble with some games only detecting the iGPU and not the dGPU. This can be worked around by either changing an environment variable per NVidia's site or by upgrading to the latest AMD drivers. I've found that upgrading the AMD drivers will cause Windows Update to keep trying to overwrite the new drivers with older versions unless you use the Hide Update tool to prevent that. Half the RAM is soldered and the other half is user replaceable, so out of the box you are getting 16 DDR4 3200Mhz (8GB soldered, 8GB card) in dual channel. You can upgrade the removable card and get up to a total of 40GB (8GB + 32GB) but you will be running in flex channel mode, reducing some of your RAM's speed as any RAM above 16GB will not be running in dual channel. While this is unfortunate, it's still nice you can upgrade at all as many laptops now, especially smaller and thinner ones, have all their RAM soldered to the motherboard. Overall I think the G14 is a nice versatile laptop that's a good mix of portability, performance, and value. You can find other laptops that are more powerful or more thinner, but you are most likely going to have to get a larger laptop, pay a lot more, get less performance, or sacrifice something else in return. I think the G14 strikes a very good balance of all of these. You'll be hard pressed to find something this compact with the same performance, and if you do, it'll probably be notably more expensive. Although Razer recently released a Razer Blade 14 with a GTX 3060, which is probably the closest to this laptop at about $300 or so more. That's another laptop to check out if you are interested in gaming laptops at this size.

This laptop is honestly disappointing. I love how much power it has but you can't even use all that power because the laptop gets so dang hot it throttles down a crazy amount. Also for how much I paid for it why doesn't this have the rog lit keyboard?? This laptop has the worst backlit keyboard I have ever used, I actually keep it off because it makes it harder to see the keys then it is without the lights. I got this thing to play games with no questions as to if it would handle a new game, but I have to worry if it'll even run it at 40 fps.

Unfortunately, this was my only way of getting a NVidia 3060. It is a fast laptop. However, not happy with the cooling/thermal performance as it gets really hot to the touch. I used this 14 inch laptop to travel and game with COD.

I love my little portable powerhouse with plenty of power to play all the modern games and more than enough to run my quest 2 VR one issue is that there is only 2 USB ports which are not enough for me personally thankfully they make USB c to USB dongles besides that I love my Asus rog been with the brand along time and will continue to do si

A great gift for someone who has a passion for playing games during the break and weekend. With nVidia Geforce this is a great graphics for the super rich colorful graphics. The size of this laptop makes is easy to carry and quickly turn on to start a game, thanks to the RAM to top with 1TB SSD makes it huge store. What better way to spend the time during a pandemic.

Easy to use! Great gaming and work laptop! The size is perfect as well!

So far very good. All the updates went through without much issues. There is a Western Digital update for external Hd that is being a pain. But no worries since for me it is just a thumb drive I have. Also I didn't get the Anime lid, but didn't know it was even a thing until after my purchase. There is no ethernet port but it is simple to get an adapter for it with a hub port. I am using this for Audio Djing and Production. With many Pc Laptops, there has been big issues getting them working well without Dpc Latency (audio pops and glitches and software freezing). This so far has the best response that any Pc I have owned. I did set the performance mode to the highest settings. But even at default very good for audio. The Ram is one 8gig chip replaceable, the other is not. So upgrading is a bit strange. Crucial did not get the correct chip so be careful. I managed to find one through New Egg and shipped from China. A 32gig chip and now running at 39gig usable. Be sure to get the exact specifications of the chip. The fingerprint reader is a bit unpredictable, but I don't mind the pin instead. The keyboard lighting is useless in a well lit room. But awesome in the dark. The build feels very tough and the screen isn't at all flimsy.

Excellent computer. Fast and reliable delivery. Working extremely good in 2023.

Great computer and great software and great speed on the computer

This is the best laptop for on the go gaming. Especially if you need something small

One of the absolute best purchases I have made. The computer is fast and reliable. The refresh rate of 144hz is an amazing upgrade from the 60hz i am normally used to. Handles creative applications like Adobe decently, i would say better than the University computers. Its light and keys are responsive. Would recommend.

I cose this as my first gaming laptop, and the experienca has been awsome. It runs AAA games preety well, not in very high graphics but medium-high and for engineering (CAD, CAM, etc) software it's been just perfect. Just be aware this laptop heats up to 200 degrees (the CPU) when gaming.

Great for gaming. Fast and Amazing! I recommend this to any gamers.

I've been using this laptop for almost 2 years, and it has been a spectacular product all around. The boot times are quick, rendering for development and videos is fast, and the quality is great. It has survived a long time with me, so I'm very happy about that, as I usually break things, and this one has proven tough, as I've accidentally put it through a lot.

I cannot recommend this laptop enough. If your are looking for portable, powerful and awesome looking laptop, this is it. I can fit this laptop and my MacBook pro in the same bag. The power brick is not as big as other laptops. I can play most games on high and at constant 60fps. Screen looks beautiful and very bright. I definitely recommend.

SSD has died after 3 months of use, very disappointing. Otherwise a nice mix of power, performance, and efficiency at this price point. Only other complaints are the weak speakers and lack of webcam. Also runs a little hot.
