Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 from Best Buy and have been thoroughly impressed with its performance and design. This laptop is a true powerhouse, combining portability with incredible computing capabilities. As someone who engages in 3D rendering, frequent travel, and occasional gaming, this laptop has proven to be a versatile companion for my needs. Design and Build (5/5): The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 boasts a sleek and eye-catching design in Moonlight White. Its compact and lightweight build makes it exceptionally easy to carry around, which is perfect for my on-the-go lifestyle. The laptop's build quality is top-notch, and it exudes a premium feel. I particularly appreciate the attention to detail and how neatly it is made. Performance (4/5): Equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, this laptop delivers impressive performance for a wide range of tasks. 3D rendering, in particular, runs smoothly and efficiently, providing the power I need for my creative work. Gaming, although not my primary use, is also a breeze, thanks to the capable hardware. Display (5/5): The 14-inch QHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate is nothing short of stunning. The visuals are sharp, colors are vibrant, and the high refresh rate enhances the overall viewing experience, whether I'm working on complex 3D models or enjoying some gaming during my downtime. Battery Life (4/5): Considering the power-packed hardware, the battery life is respectable. I get around 6-7 hours of usage on average, which is decent for a laptop of this caliber. However, it's important to note that heavy tasks like 3D rendering will naturally drain the battery more quickly. Connectivity (3/5): Now, let's address the one downside I've encountered with this laptop—the Wi-Fi card. While the laptop is equipped with Wi-Fi 6, I've noticed that the Wi-Fi card's performance isn't up to par with the rest of the hardware. For someone who relies on a stable and fast internet connection, this can be a bit frustrating. I would recommend considering upgrading the Wi-Fi card for better connectivity. In conclusion, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is a fantastic laptop that caters to professionals and gamers alike. Its remarkable design, powerful performance, and stunning display make it a compelling choice for a variety of tasks. However, the subpar Wi-Fi card is a minor drawback that potential buyers should be aware of. With a simple upgrade in that department, this laptop would be virtually flawless. Overall, I am delighted with my purchase, and it has greatly enhanced my productivity and entertainment experience on the go. If you can overlook the Wi-Fi card issue or are willing to invest in an upgrade, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is an excellent choice for a portable powerhouse.

Computer is quiet good, runs super smoothly and can handle most everything thrown at it. I've been able to run Minecraft at high frame rates with very detailed shder add ons. And the display is very detailed, which makes up for it being smaller than normal laptops. The weight is also amazing, you can Carry it around without any discomfort. Only thing I will say is the ram is a bit low, so you should invest in adding 16 gigabytes to get up to 32 gigs(there is only one additional slot f.y.i) The only other problem I have is it gets very hot, so after 15-20 minutes of use you can feel the heat through the keyboard (not burning, but warm) and fans can be quiet loud. And a final thing I will say is this computer goes on sale every week (I've watched it for the past 4 months daily) so if you are going to buy make sure it is on sale.

I’ve owned many computers. And this fits every need. I love the size, performance and battery life. You won’t regret this purchase! I upgraded the ram by adding a 16gb stick in making it 32 gb and upgraded the storage to a 1tb ssd. This laptop unlike others is easy to get into and fix. Display is amazing! I play with a laptop stand and a little fan to help with cooling and I’ve had no issues at all with cooling!

Very high performance for such a small machine, looks cool and has a magnesium alloy chassis. Handles everything I’ve thrown at it but it does get volcanically hot, doesn’t bother me but makes me question the lifespan. Other than that it’s perfect for me going to college and gaming, battery life is amazing too. Wouldn’t pay the retail 1600 though, it doesn’t have enough power to justify that. 1,100 on sale is perfect. You can get more powerful laptops for that price but it won’t be in such a small form factor, this is a laptop for someone with portability as the main priority but doesn’t want to sacrifice much power to get it

Pros: This is an awesome laptop with great preformance and good (its a gaming laptop) battery life. The first thing I did was to run cinebench r23 and she goes! I have yet to actually utilize 100% of the cpu in any daily task or game, perfect for future proofing. The rtx 4060 is a small monster that can play most of my steam library at native res high settings. The last pro would be the battery life. It is better than 95% of all the other gaming laptops, at least on battery saving. I would point you toward Jarodd's tech (i think) if you want a much fuller review. Ok. Lastly, ITS WHITE! the color is kinda nice but, oh boy, have a microfiber cloth to go. And it is small (in a good way). Cons: Price. I got it on sale. Thank goodness. Also, when the gpu starts to get to about 75-80 degrees c, the fans sound like an f-22 doing a flyover 50 ft from the ground. However, the fans don't scream (pitch), which makes the noise MUCH more bearable. I had a chromebook before this fellow and its fan (yes, one) had the ability to act as a dog whistle. Summary: Very good. Buy if you like a snazzy laptop that can fit snuggly in your bag. I wish there was a darker color that didn't attract all the pencil lead in your bag.

While I've got a solid desktop for my main work at home, having something reasonably portable and capable when traveling was what I was looking for here. My previous laptop was a 2016 Razer Blade 14, which served me well (until the battery gave up), so a similar sized and reasonably powerful machine was what I was looking for (without the major cost of a Razer device). Battery life is solid. Being a secondary device, I primarily was charging it very infrequently (~ 1 time a week or so), and even when I was using it for web and work related tasks, it had plenty of life for what I needed (Windows reported as high as 13hrs, but I wasn't too sure about that). Gaming Performance was reasonable for the games that I'd keep on a travel device (a mix of singleplayer and multiplayer mainstream titles). It is a little jarring when the computer switches from the AMD integrated GPU to the Nvidia GPU as the screen goes black briefly when it switches over. Keyboard feels pretty good for typing, good key-travel and feel. And the trackpad is nice, felt pretty reasonable (though I daily drive plugging in a mouse) Upgradeability is acceptable with 1 DDR5 SO-DIMM slot available and you can change out the stock NVME SSD with a larger capacity one. ASUS has pretty solid documentation on how to do these upgrades on their support site (both upgrades I did on my own). Note: the stock RAM on the machine is soldered onto the mainboard. I/O is reasonable for a laptop this size, no complaints here. The webcam has Windows Hello facial recognition which is nice, and does 1080p video which is also nice. I'm not a huge fan of the power adapter plugging in midway on the left side of the chassis, though that is due to their design of the display and the cooling system taking up the back half of the chassis. It's manageable none the less. I would have preferred the power adapter plugging in further back on the chassis. Speaking of the power adapter, a 240W power adapter is pretty chunky, so do have some room for that in your bag. All things considered so far, I really like this laptop for the feature set and price. Get some hands on time if it's at a local store. Cool things for future iterations Would be nice if USB-C PD 240W existed and the charger used USB-C for charging rather than the barrel jack.

Amazing Balance of Power and Portability I recently upgraded to the Asus Zephyrus G14 2023 model with the RTX 4060, and I've been thoroughly impressed with its performance and design. Having owned the 2022 G14, I was excited to see how the 4060 version would fare, and it exceeded my expectations. This laptop strikes a fantastic balance between power and thermals, all at an attractive price point. The sleek and lightweight body design exudes a premium feel, while the white color not only looks great but also stays remarkably clean. Unleashing Unexpected Power At first, I had reservations about the RTX 4060's capability, but I was proven wrong. The 16 TFLOPS power in this laptop surprised me, enabling me to achieve upwards of 125 FPS on QHD resolution in games like MW2. It handles every game I throw at it, including titles like Dead Space and Cyberpunk 2077. The nebula display's 500 nits brightness delivers crisp visuals, with minimal backlight bleed – just a slight bit in the bottom right corner. Movies and YouTube videos are a treat, thanks to Dolby Atmos-supported speakers. I'm even planning to upgrade the storage and RAM to enhance its capabilities further. Cool, Quiet, and Ready for Anything One standout feature is how cool and quiet the laptop remains even during extended gaming sessions. Compared to last year's model, it's noticeably cooler and quieter, providing a much more comfortable gaming experience. The RGB backlit keyboard adds a stylish touch and contributes to the overall immersive feel. Unmatched Performance The Ryzen 9 7940HX CPU coupled with the RTX 4060 GPU delivers impeccable performance. While there are some optimizations required to make the most of its potential, once set up, the laptop handles AAA titles with ease. It's worth noting that playing while plugged in provides a substantial performance boost compared to running on battery. Display settings and GPU utilization can be fine-tuned for optimal gaming experience. Stunning Display and Design The laptop boasts a stunning 2.5k 165Hz display with 500 nits brightness and a wide color gamut, making it perfect for gaming and creative work. The symmetrical and futuristic design, along with the white clamshell, adds to its aesthetic appeal. The hinge design not only looks great but also improves keyboard comfort. Exceptional Keyboard and Trackpad Asus excels in keyboard and trackpad design, and the Zephyrus G14 is no exception. The responsive keyboard with its well-spaced keys and thoughtful layout enhances the overall typing experience. The glass-like trackpad is a standout feature with its smooth surface and responsiveness. The Ideal Blend of Performance and Portability To sum it up, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2023 model offers exceptional performance and portability. Its powerful internals, stunning display, thoughtful design, and impressive keyboard and trackpad make it an excellent choice for gamers and creators alike. The laptop's thermal management is impressive, ensuring cool and quiet gaming sessions. If you're seeking an RTX 4060 gaming laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G14 is an outstanding option that won't disappoint. Highly recommended!

The 2023 ASUS G14 with RTX 4060 has been a perfect choice for me as a college student. Its impressive performance handles everything I throw at it, from heavy multitasking to gaming and graphic-intensive tasks. The RTX 4060 ensures smooth gameplay and quick rendering times, while the Ryzen 9 cpu is great for my workload. One of the standout features is the battery life—it’s amazing! I can go 9+ hours or a full day of classes without worrying about it dying unlike my(ahem HP). It is alsp sooo light. How do you do it Asus??

It’s honestly hard to know where to start on a review of this thing because its that good. I am a game developer and was looking for something use as our mid range spec testing. So i grabbed this on black friday. I didnt have any plans on regularly using this laptop. But after being hands on with it. I can honestly say this is the best laptop i have ever used. The build quality is amazing, it looks amazing, amazing screen. And very very good power to back it all up and earn its name as a gaming machine. My favorite thing is how small this laptop is. It’s actually portable. Like seriously you can take this somewhere like a coffee shop or to class and people would never know its a gaming machine.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is a surprisingly lightweight gaming laptop with impressive performance. Despite its thumbnail appearance, the RGB keyboard adds a vibrant touch, and the modern white color stands out. It excels in gaming, but heat buildup is a concern, as well as battery life. Within two weeks or so, my laptop wouldn't turn on, leading to a motherboard replacement under manufacturer warranty since it was a faulty unit. Best Buy handled it quickly without any charges, and they sent it to get it fixed without any charges.

Pros -slick,nice feel ,durable, handles most games escape from tarkov , pal world , warzone , battlefield 2042 very good not much fps drops Now the bad- very loud fans will max right out not even fully loading up a game ,and i mean extremely loud , the battery plug is in the middle of the keyboard on the side so makes it weird typing if you have big hands also seems to be very loose and will break easy the back lit keys are dim you can hardly see them after about 5 mins of game play you get a weird burnt plastic smell coming from the laptop which made me look into the thermals more this thing runs stupid hot cpu sits about 75c to 80c doing nothing the gpu will shut off if just sitting and the cpu will take over handling your display but during game play the gpu will take back over and will go from 73c to 80c in about 20 to 30 mins of game play i would recommend a cooling pad If you dont mind noise and can upgrade the storage and possibly add better cooling to it this thing would be great but i am gonna return mine

Starting on my first semester of college and needed a small light laptop that I can carry around campus that is still powerful enough to run my games. It runs pretty much anything I throw at it on maximum settings with little issues. Cyberpunk gets 60-80 fps with ray tracing and everything on max, with most other AAA games getting the same performance. I just wish it came with more ram out of the box. The 16 gigs of ram is a major bottle neck and you pretty much have to get another 16 gig stick if you want to get the max potential out of this thing. Would be nice if it had an ethernet port, but with how small the laptop is they obviously had to make some compromises, and that issue can be fixed with an adapter anyway. I haven't had any issues with overheating, ASUS did a great job with the thermals on this. Would not recommend keeping it on your lap though, under heavy load the outside gets up to 120F. The battery is OKAY. I can get 5-8 hours out of it under light load, only about an hour playing a game, if you plan on travelling with it a power bank is a must. The QHD screen is overkill being only 14 inches but it does look amazing. Overall this thing is an absolute beast and well worth the money.

This laptop is very good, use it specially for coding, but also on games. Battery and charging is excellent, but not long while playing AAA games. Awesome how the fans can be changed to a certain speed, and how smooth it runs on high quality. Siege works PERFECT on max settings, just be aware to keep an eye on the battery. It does heat up fast, so make sure to open it all the way.

Wanted something more reliable than a basic mac so I could work on college assignments and play games while saving money since I don’t play console. I went ahead and splurged on this laptop a while back. Great performance on the laptop so far. I downloaded RDR2, Sea of Thieves, Subnautica, Diablo4, Overwatch, LOL, VAL, Fortnite, and other smaller games (only have OW, SoT, and Diablo4, and Roblox as of this moment). Fan gets really loud when in turbo/high performance mode which makes sense, majority of the stuff I play takes heavy storage space and the battery isn’t late, but it’s always plugged in so I don’t have much of an issue on that part. Bit of a slow startup when loading bigger games but I’m more than patient to play my favorites. This things pretty awesome.

So far this computer has been great! great performance, great portability, and the speakers and the display are the best features in my opinion, with Dolby Atmos and Dolby vision it has provided an excellent video and audio quality for gaming or for a more casual use, like watching movies.

This is my first gaming laptop. I was able to grab it while it was on sale. Currently, for the full price, I'd almost say go with the 2024 version... I'm super impressed with the performance this little guy has. I grabbed a 2TB SSD to swap out before I booted it up, and it was a smooth install. Being able to install the OS from the BIOS was pretty easy. There's been some issues I've read about on here, but just make sure the date & time are correct and you should be good to go. It's done great with every game I've thrown at it. It even is able to run some my old gaming PC couldn't. I'm still trying to tweak things with the battery, trying to maximize battery life. I do recommend getting rid of a few bloatware apps, and installing G-Helper. I also noticed that the front facing camera is 1080p, even though in the specs it's listed as 720p.

This is a well constructed and powerful laptop. Small form factor, very thin, lightweight and aesthetically pleasing. Minimalist yet stylish. We are at a crossroads where technology exceeds the gaming requirements and this laptop fits the bill at a pricepoint that cannot be ignored. I thought I would need to ipgrade the memory or the NVME SSD storage but I only play 1 or 2 games at any given time and I have not had any memory issues. I have ran multiple games at max settings and with very generous FPS. It seems tdch upgrades are all aboit getting extra frames or runinng high performance on multiple monitors which I am not concerned about. Best bang for the buck if caught on sale when it was $500 off. If this wouldnt have been on sale at such a great price I woild have boight a much larger Asus Tuff.

Pros - Performs brilliantly and 165 hz screen is very smooth. - Comes with game pass and runs any game you throw at it with atleast 60 hz. - Touchpad is precise and keyboard is joy to use. RGB lovers paradise- so many color options to choose from (Ghelper makes it easy to change RGB colors). - While not Macbook good, speakers do sound pretty decent. Be sure to change it to dynamic mode from Dolby app that comes with the app. - GHelper is awesome open source control tool for Asus laptops. Pls install it and remove Asus's Armoury Crate for your sanity. Cons - Battery life is far from the best. If you lower refresh rate to 60hz and in efficiency mode it does run longer by an hour or so. But after being used to 165 hz, running it at 60 hz feels depressing. At 165 hz and in silent mode with GPU off you're looking at only 5 hrs of battery life while doing lightweight office tasks with Youtube videos here and there. - While the touchpad is precise, the bottom portion of it feels wobbly. It just gives unfinished experience and speaks less quality. - The surface where your palm rests feels quite rough especially in the first month and smoothens slowly. Kind of nitpicky but just figured i would lay it out. - The app- Armoury Crate that comes with the laptop feels clunky. Pls replace it with open source app called GHelper as soon as you get this laptop.

This is an amazing laptop! Runs games of carying requirements such as League of Legends and Ark Survival Evolved! Its very powerful despite being a very lightly weight laptop! This is also great for studying as well. Im able to run data analysis programs(SPSS) with many other tabs and articles up! Of course the laptop can get hot, but turn on Turbo mode for a bit, it cools down great with the fans! Ive had it for about a month now and it’s a 10/10! Highly recommend as a college student and a gamer.

As I titled, it's a perfect budget laptop! It's got all the bells and whistles I needed as I am a developer, having a strong permance lightweight machine on the go to do a mix of light and heavy workhas been perfect for my needs. Would recommend to anyone who wants a mobile monster of a laptop to do gaming, art and development work on.
