Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best laptop I’ve ever owned and it’s not close. It runs hot and loud under load, but if you use G Helper with and remove the bloatware that comes pre installed, it can be tamed. Incredible battery life, amazing gaming performance, screen is beautiful, but very expensive.

This laptop is a high performer in a small frame and perfect for the gaming enthusiast that's on the go and it can provide incredible workload performance as well when it's time to get paid. Pros: - 120Hz OLED panel is outstanding. Even though I don't have the equipment to test it, there is zero chance it isn't hitting the advertised 500 nit brightness. Slightly smaller screen size provides incredible PPI for a super crisp image. - Ryzen 9 HX 370 is an absolute monster; single thread and multi thread performance is remarkable. - Nvidia RTX 5070Ti is also a gaming powerhouse providing performance that outpaces the OLED panel's 120Hz refresh rate. Easily pushes 165Hz+ when using an external display. - While down on VRAM compared to the "full size" 5070Ti, 12GB is still pretty remarkable for a laptop. - Built in speakers are LOUD and provide incredible depth and richness. EASILY loud enough to do anything you want. - Overall fit and finish is impeccable. There are no cheap materials anywhere. Highly polished just like it should be and ASUS is right to tout the build quality of this laptop. - The "slash" lighting on the back of the panel is fun to play with and adds a subtle hint to others that you have a high-end machine sitting in front of you. - LOVE that this has a Micro-SD slot for photography and video work. - Built in webcam and microphone means I can switch to work on the fly when needed. No hooking up external devices. - Power supply input is much improved from older, outdated designs. - VERY good battery life especially when tuned to "Silent" mode. Battery charge can be limited to 80% to help with battery health. Cons: (not much) - Would love to see 2TB of SSD storage at this price point. - 5070Ti seems to be fairly conservative out of the box and has a lot of headroom for overclocking. - Built in keyboard will probably leave ultra hardcore gamers wanting but, for a laptop keyboard, I find it very good. - Don't love that the RAM isn't expandable. 32 GB is plenty for most people but feels like a miss at this price point. Overall, this adds up to an INCREDIBLE laptop that is EXTREMELY capable and useful. I use all of my computers for gaming and work and this laptop is perfect for me. I can crush workloads and then skip right over to gaming and have an incredible experience doing either.

While not a 'high-end' gaming laptop, this ASUS RoG Zephyrus G14 is hands down twice the computer that I'm currently using as my main gaming laptop. As always, unboxing was a delight. The laptop was packaged extremely well. Setup was a seamless procedure, and all the usual Windows updates installed lightning fast. This ASUS RoG gaming laptop looks modern and sleek, with clean lines and subtle "special touches," such as the unusually shaped power button, stylized 'sci-fi' keyboard font, backlit keys, and the customizable lighted slash across the lid. In recent years, I've become a real fan of AMD processors. Gone are the days when they were considered "inferior" to Intel. The Ryzen AI 9 HX really shines. As for the graphics card, the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti performs above and beyond my expectations. Plus, the 32gb RAM is double what I have now, and I can definitely tell the difference! Yet while it would have been preferable for this gaming laptop to have a 2 Tb SSD, the 1 Tb SSD is enough for my purposes, at least for now, and there's always the option to supplement that with an external HD for more storage if necessary. The 3K resolution OLED display is beautiful! Graphics are bright, clear and crisp, and game cinematics look so realistic! Even though the screen is only 14", this is actually just right for me, but it's worth keeping in mind if you prefer a larger size screen. Perhaps it is because of the awesomeness of the picture quality, but the screen appears bigger than it is, in my opinion. The sound coming from this ASUS laptop is better than expected. Unlike many of the previous laptops I've owned, I didn't have to turn the volume all the way up to achieve good audio quality, thanks to the 6 onboard speakers and Dolby Atmos. The position of the speakers is good, placed along each side of the keyboard. Airflow seems good enough to handle the heat output with the entire underside of the laptop being grated for fan cooling, with two long "rubberized" 'feet' along the bottom which not only holds the laptop up off the surface but also allows heat to flow out and away. As for ports, there never seem to be enough of those on newer laptops. I usually have to make use of a plug-in port adapter to give me more. However, many peripherals are able to connect via Bluetooth, so this may not be an issue. So all that's great, but how does it perform? The benchmark test I did for FFXIV rated 'Very High,' and while running the test the graphics were vivid and the audio was full and rich. During my World of Warcraft gameplay, in-game graphics looked great; framerates were for the most part within an acceptable range with no stuttering or pixelization, with no noticable lag or input delay. Additionally, there's no pre-installed bloatware. The MyAsus, Armory Crate, Nvidia software are what I deem helpful, as they let you keep track of any necessary system and driver updates to keep your gaming laptop running smoothly, along with monitoring computer functions, and setting game-related personalizations. My thoughts - I'm beyond impressed by this ASUS RoG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop. It's certain to serve me well for the foreseeable future for the types of games I like to play.

This machine is great for the most part. Build quality is solid with no flex. Screen is 3k OLED 120hz with excellent contrast and fast response time. Keyboard has excellent travel and wide key caps. Trackpad is glass and has smooth tracking and is very accurate. The issue is the heat and fan noise. In Performance and Turbo modes this thing will get toasty. It can handle and game you throw at it but the APU and dGPU will both reach the 90s. If you get a cooling pad this may help but I didn't so I returned it. Battery life in silent mode is average around 6 hours max...nothing exceptional.

The G14 with the 5070 Ti has been awesome so far. It’s super fast for both gaming and everyday stuff, and the screen looks great with smooth refresh rates. I like how portable it is compared to other gaming laptops, and the build quality feels solid. The fans do get a bit loud when playing heavier games, but the performance makes up for it. Battery life is decent for a gaming laptop, though I usually keep it plugged in when gaming. Overall, it’s a great mix of power and portability.

10/10 laptop and an easy recommend. I Debated hard between this and other 16 inch laptops. Ultimately decided on this one given the easy of portability and weight. I’ve had it for about 2 months now and could not be happier. I took it on a few flights and take it to work daily. It’s able to run any game I’ve thrown at it. Amazing display. Im getting about 10-12 hours use with my daily work for charting and spreadsheets. Easily lasts all day.

My review is based on using the ASUS G14 for about two weeks. I bought it to replace my Framework 13 as a travel laptop. I also have a three year old ASUS M16, which serves as my main gaming computer at home, but is too large to travel with comfortably. I am very familiar with Macs and the main alternatives I considered were the MacBook Air 15" and MacBook Pro 14". I love the ASUS G14. The OLED screen is incredibly, easily better than the MBA 15 and close to the MBP 14. The fit and finish make this feel like a very high-quality laptop (which it is), similar to the MBP 14. While the G14 has a mild gamer aesthetic, it would easily fit in a business environment (e.g., by turning off the graphic "slash" on the lid). The keyboard is excellent and I was very pleasantly surprised by the trackpad (especially after the buggy FW 13 trackpad). Battery life was important to me: while not as good as the MBA 15 or MBP 14, it is way better than any other Windows laptop I've used. The selection of ports is good, though I wish it had an SD card reader instead of micro-SD for importing photos without a dongle. The fans have run quietly, though to be fair I haven't really pushed the machine yet. The speakers are very impressive for a device this small. The laptop charges rapidly with the bespoke charger, slowly via USB-C (as expected, but useful in a pinch). How about using it? A delight. It easily handles work (email, Word/Excel/PPT) and casual use (web, video, audio). I use Lightroom for photography: the color accuracy of the display is high, photos import quickly, editing is responsive. I've had two BSODs in two weeks - once with many, many Chrome windows open, the other with unclear cause - but otherwise the G14 has been stable and zippy. I have not done much gaming yet (a bit of Goat Simulator 3), but so far, so good. I had read users recommending G-Helper instead of Armoury Crate (which I use on the M16), so I installed the former and disabled the latter. G-Helper has been an excellent tool for managing CPU/GPU, fan curves, and battery life. Its interface is much easier to navigate than Armoury Crate's. This laptop makes me smile. It looks great, functions very well, and will be great to travel with. I love being able to work, create, and game all on one device. I would also have been very happy with the MBP 14 but, for those who want to game, the G14 is the better choice. The MBA 15 has the advantage of more screen real estate, better battery life, and being cheaper, but I think the G14 is overall a better device.

This tiny and compact device was easily able to replace my bulky old Lenovo P53. That behemoth, weighing 7.9 lbs, was simply unbearable in my backpack. The ROG Zephyrus G14 is excellent for playing AAA titles and also well-suited for running local LLMs, considering its size and weight. The display is one of the best I’ve ever seen, and the speakers are fantastic. However, you shouldn't expect a whisper-quiet experience while gaming. But I don’t find the fan noise disruptive at all.

To be clear, I know what I am doing with tech like this, I went to school for it. Nothing I reference below is “user error” or ignorance. Calling tech support for me is the LAST Option on my list. I can usually fix all of my issues with mostly anything by myself, including removing soldered on chips and components from boards and replacing them on my own. Even with the impressive spec list on this machine it is "still just a laptop" and feels very "limited" compared to a desktop with "lesser specs and components." That said, I REALLY, REALLY wanted to like this one. I thought this was going to be an easy 5 star item based on my experience with my Asus TUF F15 from last year which I loved, and still do. Maybe I hyped it up too much in my own head while waiting for it to arrive. I was looking forward to getting my hands on it like a kid waiting for Xmas morning to arrive. I had last year's ASUS TUF F15 (FX507VI) 16GB, Intel I7, 15.6 inch, 144hz with the RTX 4070 but experienced semi frequent crashes while playing certain game titles. So, I was really looking forward to getting this G14 as an “upgrade” in my hands, especially with the access to more RAM. Truth be told, any graphics settings past 1080p WITH A MONITOR CONNECTED and this thing will shut itself down and “auto reboot” into windows like I just turned on the power, not just crash the game and make me relaunch it. When I had “crashes” with the same game(s) on the F15 TUF laptop, the game would shut down and leave the laptop running normally. This one boots me completely out of Windows into a fresh boot cycle. This G14 is really “software” quirky. I am even getting Windows Display Properties Errors now after weeks of dealing with it. For the first 3 days I could not get 3 different sets of gaming headsets to work….no microphone. No one could hear me. Then I randomly opened “copilot AI” software and talked to it….THEN my headsets magically started working in game. Very Odd! Also, to this very day, every time I turn on the laptop (stays connected to a monitor, Sony Invision M2 , 27 inch 160Hz) it ALWAYS switches my display settings back to “extend” instead of where I had it set to previously, “mirror.” Just a ton of quirky-ness that is super annoying to deal with, especially on a “premium gaming laptop.” Why Windows will not leave my Display Settings at “mirror” and constantly flips it back to “Extend” is beyond me. I found myself getting frustrated with this machine more than once and going back to my Asus TUF F15 not just for the bigger screen but because it didn't fight with me every step of the way to accomplish simple things and to play a game. I have run troubleshooters and all sorts of research and even contacted ASUS at one point about the microphone not working and I waited longer than I should have to write this review in hopes that I would discover that IT WAS ME that was causing the errors somehow or that I was overlooking something simple, but I can’t say that at all. This thing is just quirky and I have a suspicion it is one of the many software titles to control graphics and processing that are bouncing off of each other. This comes with Armory Crate, NVIDIA software as well as ASUS software and AMD software all meant to control the same settings and some of the settings inside all of these titles are also natively controlled by Windows, which just adds more confusion to the mix. I can’t prove it, it is just a hunch that there are too many software titles trying to fight for control of the same parts of the system at the same time. Since I am talking about “negatives” kind of….I am going to mention right here that there are not enough USB ports on the machine for a gaming machine and there is no physical Ethernet port either so everything must be connected via WIFI. If I want to run a hard line will need to get a separate USB to Ethernet Adaptor and then again…I am out of USB access ports on the machine and forced to use a USB Hub….Actually, multiple hubs just so I can have my Basics Connected when running an external monitor, a wired gaming controller and a Headset Dongle and that leaves no room for a wired mouse, external keyboard, hard drive or anything else, without running multiple USB hubs or unplugging other stuff to make room. This is very annoying and very anti-productive in my opinion. The machine comes with 2 USB A ports, and 2 USB C and they are stacked very close together so using adaptors is sometimes not an option because everything won’t fit side by side. That's only 4 I/O ports in total. The only other ports on the machine are the HDMI out, the proprietary power input and a headphone jack. Again…NO ETHERNET PORT! I get that this is a laptop and it is meant for “mobility” but no Ethernet Port on a GAMING PC is a huge miss in my book. I mention this because I have noticed some major Latency discrepancies between other WiFi Laptops I have and this one. For some reason this laptop is always marking 60-130ms when all my other machines are marking 20-40ms both with and without this machine connected to the same WiFi. I HAVE TO use the WiFi 6G that is included with this one to get a connection that I can use…but the latency is still an issue. WITHOUT A MONITOR CONNECTED: This laptop is BEAUTIFUL! Everything looks amazing on the 3K OLED Screen and the details are {Chef’s Kiss}. BUT processing is still jittery and gameplay is herky jerky. For Example I have NVIDIA “optimized” and the game settings “auto config to system” and even with being on the “performance” side of the scale I am still not getting smooth frames with movement whilst in-game. I mean this is a 5080 With “AI” and it still can’t handle a fairly normal game like Fortnite with the above mentioned settings??? The settings are not even close to being maxed out and it is still jerky. BTW, ALL TESTING WAS DONE IN “TURBO” MODE except for when I used it on battery and not plugged in. I guess my main complaint here is the graphics card and the capability of it. AND that this was my experience in Turbo Mode! Even with the extra RAM and the Ryzen 9HX with AI it is still a chore for the machine to handle Fornite on 3k with the NVIDIA graphics set to OPTIMIZED which is only bar 3 on a bar scale of 35!!! BUT for everything else, non-gaming related, this laptop is a MONSTER! Daily tasks are nothing for this thing. Video editing is not a struggle. Video playback is beautiful on the included 3K OLED. The OLED really is stunning when not struggling with jittery controller to in game translation. I would recommend this for any sort of content creator for an On The Go or primary machine. It has saved me time and frustration in that aspect. Calling on apps and multitasking are not an issue for this one. If you are a keyboard and Mouse gamer then I can see how this would be a great option for you. The “W” key has a bump on it to locate it without looking to aid in WASD movement and the F and J Keys are also bumped for standard productivity typing. Cant speak for battery life as I run this off the plug full time but the little I did have it on battery it seems to eat batter pretty quickly in “standard” mode. The Backlight on the keyboard and the programmable light pattern on the back of the screen are cool features and the backlight on the keyboard is completely necessary because white keys on Silver is REALLY hard to see and not the best idea…but it looks cool. I can see a ton of people being really happy with this machine but if you are like me and expected this to do what I explained already then you will be as disappointed as I am. This is not something I would tell someone to run out and get if they plan on running a monitor off of it for gaming and also it is not that great at 3K for Fortnite with Nvidia set at 3 of 35. Turing it down to 1080p alleviates it a little bit but again there is the WIFI lag that I do not have to deal with on my other machines. This one is very “hit and miss” for me, but to be fair, I am sure a ton of people will be happy with it. I just expected WAY more performance based on the hype, the specs, the RAM, The Ryzen 9HX AI, The RTX 5080 with AI and all that. Too much messing around and it still doesn’t “feel right.”

These are often sold as gaming laptops. they are NOT gaming laptops. They are mixed use/creator laptops Firstly, they come pre-installed with studio drivers, not game ready drivers. Secondly, they prioritize looking like a macbook, and being portable over performance or thermals. Positives: - excellent speakers, - excellent screen - Good performance for pro work (editing) - generally feels premium Negatives: - runs absurdly hot - throttles, despite very low gpu and cpu wattage offering - fans are legitimately the most annoying fans i have ever heard on a laptop Conclusions: If you NEED a relatively premium laptop that can offer a reasonably powerful gpu, while prioritizing portability over performance, this works. Just be aware of the heat and fain noise even in basic windows tasks

The ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" 3K OLED 120Hz Gaming Laptop is clearly a compact, powerhouse that can be YOUR desktop replacement - when paired up with external peripherals & a gaming monitor. Setup and Initial Impressions: Initializing Windows 11 was as typical as it can be, from a Microsoft standpoint. I did experience a couple of incidents during portions of the unattended setup that resulted in the unit getting stuck in some kind of Modern Standby state (be it Sleep or something else...) where I was forced to do the proverbial 'hold down' the power button to force a hard reset. Having owned several different Asus/ROG models, this was a first. Once personalized & fully updated (software, drivers and BIOS), the unit did seem to stabilize and operated in full-Ryzen speedy form, but that was 5 days into my review period. Compared to my 4-year-old ROG Advantage Edition, this 2025 ROG Zephyrus G14 feels quick & responsive no matter what I threw at it or used it for. The OLED display is vivid & consistent, corner-to-corner. The weight of the unit screams quality as does the smooth action of the flip-up, screen hinges. I'm not a huge fan of the flat, chicklet key caps commonly found on 14-inch laptops, but these are good, surprisingly satisfying and easy to type on. The RGB backlighting of the keys works but nothing to write home about. That's admittedly a matter of personal taste - but I've seen better. There are no ports on the rear of this laptop but that's Ok. On something this compact, I've fine with it. The USB-4 and multiple USB 3 ports are plentiful and ALL meet their specified capabilities. I used a Sandisk Pro external SSD Pro and ATTO transfers speeds were top shelf. I would have preferred a full-sized SD card slot vs. the micro slot, but space in a 14-inch platform does naturally present constraints! The proprietary power port is great and much better than a barrel connection. The only real big complaint I have about this particular platform, in terms of design points, is the location of the Status LEDs located on the bottom edge of the display. What was Asus engineers thinking? What good is having a power state, AC power connection and storage indicators all in a position you cannot see from the front? Oops! The track pad is spacious, glass treated and something I really like. One of the best I've touched! The Platinum White aesthetic has nuanced contrasts to it, which I've grown to like. This machine doesn't scream Gamer vibe and would be fine for work environments. Gaming Experience: Although one can game "AAA" titles on this 14-inch display and they do render very nicely I might add, the real power of the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 is the marriage between the Ryzen 9 Ai processor & the 5070 Ti GPU. This gets back to using this little beast as a desktop replacement rig. It can do it! The memory is up to the task, and you can add a 2nd internal SSD. Not much to dislike here. Sure, some will complain about soldered Dimms but IMHO, 32 GBs of high-speed memory is more than adequate for most consumers, and I didn't find it holding me back in any noticeable way. The stuff I'm not so happy or enthusiastic about: I'll mention the goofy position of the status LEDs again for completeness, but more importantly - this 2025 Zephyrus G14 suffers from the same old thing that plagues all Asus laptops - - their software immaturity. ROG Live, Asus Software Manager and A-Crate all generated multiple errors in the Windows Reliability History logs + those early incidents of "looked dead" situations that forced me to force Hard Resets with the power button. I've done nothing out of the ordinary, other than initializing my Microsoft accounts and updating all the typical Windows Store apps, Asus Apps and applying all Windows Updates, like anyone would do. I've installed no additional software that could bugger-up things or cause conflicts - and yet - here we go again Asus. Error Event & Reliability History logs are KEY areas of the entire Experience and that aspect of this laptop needs a bunch of fine tuning. The logs are peppered with "stop working" incidents. Moving on, I do wish to focus on the hard & fast specs of this machine that were important for me to test out. This includes Cinebench, ATTO speeds and WiFi connectivity. All of which were measured in Performance mode: Cinebench - This Zephyrus keeps a close pace with my 5950 X570 desktop and is the primary reason I can recommend this laptop as a desktop replacement candidate. 2300+ multi-core, 2000+ single core scores... consistently. No big swings or variance. Pretty rock solid in fact. ATTO - USB-4 speeds reached max speed transfer speeds for both reading & writing, on my Sandisk Pro external - pretty much in line with the performance I get on Thunderbolt ports; both for Mac and PC (Alienware M18). Thumbs up! USB 3 ports also achieve their specified maximums with the same external device. Nice job Asus! WiFi 7 - This is an area needing some immediate polish & fine tuning as I routinely experience throughput throttling for both download & upload - on the power brick. Not so good Asus! It's all over the place with this laptop, even when just 6 feet away from my Router. I could only hit the rated ISP speeds like once or twice out of 10 tests; most results came in at around 50 to 60 % of the speeds I pay for. Overall, I like how compact & powerful the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" 3K OLED 120Hz Gaming Laptop presents itself and generally performs. It just needs more work. (updates & such) This is a machine I can look forward to traveling with... Pros: Compact, stylish, solid and dense. Nice aesthetic overall Undeniable OLED display goodness Electrical ports all meet their specifications The fans seem pretty tame to me, so I don't understand the complaints coming from others The ventilation arrangement also seems very good, and the keyboard area stays comfortable Excellent track pad! Capable keyboard even though I prefer what Lenovo does TBH and the backlighting is meh Fast little Ryzen/Nvidia machine and to me, the 5070 Ti is the sweet spot Ai features are powerful and there for those that rely upon them Cons: Hard resetting required during setup and early use - even after updating everything (It's worth noting that Ai didn't assist in this regard, which is kind of funny) Software and error logs, par for the course with Asus & ROG. Not a good look! Pretty much useless positioning of the status LEDs Inconsistent WiFi 7 performance with some hard throttling for no good reason The top-cover LED light strip is about as useful as the Status LEDs. Bling is whatever though... I was surprised to find the ProArt Control Panel missing from this machine if for no other reason that the OLED Care functionality is missing from what is provided and that it came with Nvidia Studio drivers on it - making the case that this could be both a gaming rig & a content creation platform (Asus Vivo machines come with that bit of important software) Micro SD slot Considering the price point and what you get in return, I can still recommend this laptop for many use cases, as long as one knows what they are getting into. The combination of this Ryzen 9 and 5070 Ti is something to behold! Come on Asus, finish the job on this one and make it shine! I'd give it 3.5 Stars if allowed ; )

The G14 is an amazing balance of performance and portability. It handles heavy workloads and gaming smoothly, the display looks great, and the build feels solid yet lightweight. Battery life is decent for a machine this powerful. Fans get loud under load, but that’s expected. Overall, one of the best compact laptops I’ve ever used — highly recommend.

An amazing laptop for the price, especially more worth it when it goes in discount every two months or so. I bought the Open box- Excellent variant and did not have any marks or scratches or any noticeable problem. The build feels premium, display is very high resolution, is very lightweight at around 1.5kg and very comfortable to carry around. Battery life is good and will last for a good session if you are using it for typing and/or streaming so in that case you can leave the charger at home. Fan noise is noticeable but not a dealbreaker as I assume fan noise for other devices would be worse. In short a great purchase.

I upgraded from a Mac book air. It's about the same size. It is mighty and compact. It gets LOUD when gaming though. Also I have it connect to an external monitor with HDMI. Oled is very, very nice. Sleepk design, Keyboard is better than MacBook Air. I do not think it is per key RGB but honestly I do not care much for per key RGB. Watch a youtube video on G-helper oh and change windows power setting from sleep to hibernate lasts like 5-6 hours on battery, regular use ( web, youtube)

Asus laptop was an amazing choice. The build quality is top notch and being a light weight gaming laptop is what I’ve been looking for quite some time. Upgrading the ssd was effortless but wished it had the ability to upgrade the ram instead of being soldered in the motherboard. The screen is beautiful with deep colors with good visibility on strong light areas. The sound is full and spacious. Battery life for me last for a solid 2 hours of game play on high demand titles, but your results will vary. I will highly recommend this laptop to get your gaming fix without the bulk

This laptop is amazing. I cant believe you can pack this perfomance into such a small frame. Gaming on the road or anywhere you want to take a laptop has never been easier. People who complain about the noise of the fans are rediculous. You cant expect to play the games this laptop can without trying to keep itself cooled off. The 3k display is crisp, clear and fantastic. You cant ask for much more out of the display quality. The laptop itself looks amazing as well. ASUS doesn’t slack in the quality department. The lighting on the keyboard and on the outside of the laptop works and looks flawless. You can accomplish a multitude of things on this laptop. From gaming with the 5070 has helped with the heating compared to the 40 series gpus and the cpu which runs amazing as well. You can do school projects and work projects as well as editing pictures or music. This laptops performance comes second to nobe. Worth the money and the commitment.

I needed a new laptop that was powerful enough to run Adobe Creative Suite, ArcGIS Pro, AutoCAD, and Rhino. This machine has been 100% up to the task and I'm very happy with it so far. It's fast, the display is vibrant and crisp, the overall size and weight are great for shlepping around. I do have a few criticisms: it gets very hot, the battery doesn't last very long, and the physical body of the computer is far too delicate--I had little dings on the corners within a couple of days just from carrying it in the laptop pocket of my backpack. (I bought a padded sleeve for added protection.) But on balance, I think I got an excellent computer that looks slick and performs well for about $2,500, which is certainly a decent price.

A few kinks still being worked out via software (but this is always to be expected with new hardware) but nothing major and overall a really great experience both for gaming and productivity use. I dual boot windows and fedora linux and have gotten CUDA working properly on the Linux side and have run AAA games on the windows side. Build quality is really good and the fan noise is not too bad. It does get hot under load but that’s just physics. Keyboard and touchpad are great and the screen is truly gorgeous. Feels a little pricey at the asking price but if you can snag it on a sale around $2k or open box even lower I think it’s a good deal.

I got the g14 5070ti version, and am honestly very impressed. It runs all my games better than I thought it would, including modded Minecraft at 1440p 144fps. Oled screen is slick, and the laptop is nice and light. Only reason it’s not getting 5 stars is because it has been a little buggy with starting up and shutting down, I get the occasional freeze. But nothing power reboot can’t fix. I don’t use it without it being plugged in so I can’t speak to battery life, but I’m sure running it in eco mode using ghelper would make it last a long time.

Excellent and very powerful machine. I loved the portability of it but the only complaint is the screen is a little too small, but if you’re willing to sacrifice portability over display size then go with the G16. 3k is amazing. After all updates I will recommend uninstalling all Asus app and go with G-helper. It’s a more user friendly version to run all the bells and whistles of this little power house. I also recommend a cooling pad. This thing gets really hot and on too of keyboard is where the heat concentrates but GPU and CPU runs cool. Other than that everything is running absolutely smooth and cool.
