The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) with the RTX 5070 Ti is hands-down the best laptop I’ve ever owned! Its AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and killer GPU tear through games and editing projects like a dream, making every session on the vibrant 3K OLED screen feel like a treat. The sleek aluminum chassis looks and feels like a luxury gadget, and the four-speaker Dolby Atmos audio wraps me in sound so crisp, it’s like I’m in the game. It’s my go-to for work, play, and everything in between—pure love!

Super portable powerhouse. With the 5070ti model, I am able to play any game I want with solid frames. The Oled screen looks great, and has convinced me to upgrade my main set up. I got this laptop to primarily use at work (I am a fire fighter and work 24 hour shifts where I have a lot of downtime) and have it plugged in 95% of the time I’m using it so the poor battery life while gaming isn’t an issue for me. Very happy with this purchase.

I recently upgraded from the Acer Nitro 5 (2023, RTX 3070 Ti) to the ASUS Zephyrus G14 (2025, RTX 5070 Ti), and the difference feels night and day. The first thing I noticed is how much smaller and lighter the G14 is compared to the bulky Nitro, yet it doesn’t compromise on performance. The aluminum chassis gives it a premium, solid feel, something the Nitro never really had. Performance-wise, the 5070 Ti runs circles around the 3070 Ti in modern games, and with DLSS and Frame Generation, the smoothness is on another level. What surprised me most is how cool and quiet the G14 feels in real use, especially coming from the Nitro which always sounded like a jet engine when gaming. I’ve seen people online complain about the G14’s heat and fan noise, but to me it’s dramatically better than the Nitro and far more comfortable for long sessions. In Silent Mode, the G14 is nearly whisper quiet, and even when the fans kick up in Performance Mode, they’re nowhere near as obnoxious as the Nitro’s. The OLED display is also a huge upgrade, with incredible color and clarity that makes both work and gaming much more enjoyable. Carrying this laptop around feels effortless, unlike the Nitro which was heavy and clunky. Overall, the G14 feels like a perfect balance of portability, efficiency, and power, and to me it’s a massive upgrade in every way.

This upgraded model satisfied just about everything it could from the previous! The display has deep blacks and pure whites complement the beautiful frame-rate for gaming and editing panels for video editing. The only flaw is that the USB4 port is compatible with plenty of Thunderbolt devices, but not all, as it is not a true Thunderbolt port. However, I have it successfully powering 12 USB devices and 2 gaming monitors from a dock connected to it's single USB4 port. Very impressive!

ive been using this for a couple weeks now and so far it's been amazing. it can do whatever you throw at it. i just got into college, and because the laptop is 14", its super portable and can easily fit in your backpack. make sure you get a laptop sleeve with it. when you get this laptop, make sure you get ghelper; youre able to lower the temperatures if the laptop gets too hot, because it does get very toasty at times. once you use this OLED screen, you cant use any other; the screen is amazing. im sure the other G14 models can run anything as well, but if you have the money to get this model, GET IT. *ESPECIALLY* when its on sale.

Can't believe ROG can fit the 5070 Ti into a small machine like this! The ports are sufficient with Thunderbolt port for temporary charging, which significantly improved the portability in daily life. When charged with the original power, the performance is incredible. The OLED and touchpad are my favorite which gives a touch of Macbook. This is the undoubtly substitute of MBP if you need to run softwares only avaliable on Windows. I wish they can add SD card slot for the G14 as well.

The ASUS ROG is a fantastic gaming laptop with strong performance across the board. It runs modern games smoothly and feels premium compared to other options in its range. The cooling, design, and overall build quality are impressive, making it a reliable choice for both gaming and productivity.
The only drawback I’ve found is that it comes with limited M.2 storage expandability. An extra slot would have made upgrading and expanding storage much easier without having to swap out the existing drive.
Overall: If you’re looking for a powerful and well-built gaming laptop, the ASUS ROG delivers. Just keep in mind that you may want to plan your storage needs up front since expansion options are limited.

Amazing laptop. battery is phenomenal considering the specs, super minimal design, doesnt even look like a gaming laptop. It is very thin despite being very powerful. Highly recommend buying it.

Handles every game at medium to high settings. Weird fan noise but apart from that it’s all good. Maybe the g16 will have better cooling than this. Surprisingly good battery life.

For the price just fantastic. Literally blew my Alienware 4080 Out of the water. Impressive. The oled screen is amazingly vivid. Colors look sharp and the blacks really stand out. Most impressed with the weight will making traveling a lot lighter. Overall 5 stars.

I came from using an HP ProBook with just an FHD screen, so switching to this ASUS is a massive and necessary upgrade. I needed a machine that could handle AI models, and this one runs them flawlessly.
The performance is top-tier, the OLED screen is stunning, and the keyboard, touchpad, and audio are all excellent.
One cool AI feature is the Copilot+ button that can summarize YouTube videos, which is super useful and a nice touch for productivity.
It does get warm and the battery drains quickly, even with light tasks like updates or watching videos, but overall, it’s an amazing laptop for anyone who needs serious power and modern AI tools.

I'm sorry but 16gb just isn't enough anymore. It the box it was using 65-70% of its ram just idling. See the Pic
It also gets hot. I traded it in for the higher tier that has better cooling and double the ram.
I was impressed by how well it games but again way too hot... if you want something that will still be good in a couple years i recommend the 32gb vapor chamber cooling models

Honestly Love this danglaptop. WAY BETTER THAN MY MACBOOK PRO. It's also super compatible with a ton of software's that I need to use for engineering and college in general. It handles the apps with ease and doesn't take long to load or anything. The people in the comments saying that the laptop is "too loud" are picky. Compared the MacBook pro this is for sure quieter and better in every way. It has an AI built in it so that's super cool and if I ever forget what website I used for a certain task, I could check back on this app that it has recall and it basically records all the things I did on the laptop without using too much storage. If it ever does get full though you can delete ur old recalls. Overall love this laptop its super good and the settings you could turn on in this thing is cool too.

It is an exceptionally powerful speedy, and uh, visually esthetics is a 100 out of 10. I'm very happy bit my purchase. And I am very happy with the response that the computation and the speed of the system, I'm not used to having all this horsepower up and underneath the hood. I might just have to take it down to track for an eighth quarter. Mile, see what my lap time is? There's this thing right here, suing.It should be a super sport!! SS literally in the usb-a and usb-c ports

I upgraded from a years old Razer Blade 15 with an RTX 2070, so this a big upgrade over that. The OLED display looks amazing and feels smooth. Definitely excited to run games on it, gonna start adding more games to my library to play.
Also went with the 5070 ti (12gb of vram) model as I read that the 5080 (16gb of vram) is not much of an improvement in the 14in model due to it being power limited. So the 5080 is really only needed if you want the 4gb of extra vram.

Awesome laptop. Runs relatively cool and pretty quiet as well. Has all the performance I need in a 14 inch form factor. The OLED screen is just the cherry on top

Is a great laptop! Amazing! Beatiful! Great sound and video. The definition colors is different to other laptops. I feel happy with this laptop.
Only see one problem, the battery. Asus needs extend battery life.
