    So far so good, haven't had it long enough to notice any problems, yes it gets loud, yes it gets hot. Its a lot of power in a small device. Uninstalling armory crate and installing Ghelper is a must. You can tune it any way you want. Im getting pretty respectable performance with a cpu undervolt, reducing wattage to it, and cranking gpu up. Its small enough and looks professional enough that i can take it anywhere and not look like a 'gamer'. Battery life is also great, again, undervolts and reducing cpu wattage will retain higher life. Works great for school as well, I can perform all my programming needs with it. When playing games or consuming other media the oled display is the best i've seen in a laptop, the speakers also really add to the experience.

    Almost Perfect

    Great performance for such a small package. I returned this laptop because the bottom of the chassis was not level and it wobbled when it was on flat, hard surfaces. Best Buy was great about honoring their warranty and replaced it right away. The replacement has the same defect, but not near as pronounced and the give in the rubber feet takes up the slack enough that it doesn't wobble. Still a little ridiculous for such an awesome machine to not be flat on the bottom. The issue doesn't seem all that rare- there are several reports online of others having the same problem. Performance-wise, the laptop is a dream once all of the bloatware is cleaned out of it- Eldenring ran like a top with the settings maxed out. The fans were working hard, but the temps never broke 89C. Two brief stutters in over 3 hours of playing- maybe 0.25 seconds- brief. The display is beautiful, and the keys are downright pleasant to type on. The track pad is enormous and behaves predictably. The speakers are incredible for their size. Yes, it can get hot sitting on your lap if it's really working hard.

    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 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!

    From Acer Nitro to Asus Zephyrus

    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.

    Great screen, great performance. Short battery life and heats up a bit. Track pad isn't as clicky on left click compared to right side. I will have to double check to see if it's a defect or by design. No regrets, this is the best price to performance for this size. Definitely get it on sale.

    I’ve been using the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with the RTX 5070 Ti for les than a month now, and overall it’s a very good laptop. Performance is strong — handling modern games and creative tasks smoothly thanks to the Ryzen AI 9 HX processor paired with the RTX 5070 Ti GPU. What’s not ideal: Stability issues — 5% of the time the unit I have has shut itself about 10 times so far due to random problems (system resets, occasional glitches) out of nowhere as in not necesarily gaming, or task intensive things, just iddle or watching youtube. This isn’t something you typically see in most reviews, so it feels like it might be specific to my device. if it keeps going this month i might just trade it back in

    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.

    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.

    BETTER THAN MACBOOK

    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.

    I've only been using the laptop for a week, and I put Garuda Linux on it after redeeming all the included Steam Games, but so far, this is the best laptop I've owned. Great build quality, great screen, pretty good keyboard layout (even though the FN key is not in the far corner like I expect from years on Macs and Thinkpads), and smooth trackpad. Using a pretty standard ROG Control Center app, you can control all of the features (slash lighting, keyboard RGB, fan curves), and it can be as quiet or noisy as you let it. My only hiccup so far, and the only reason it doesn't rate better (and it may be something fixable with software) is that switching between dedicated and integrated graphics outside of the auto "Hybrid" mode requires a full restart. And when the dGPU is running, there is basically no battery life. If left in Hybrid mode, lots of things (e.g. starting a GPU-accelerated browser, the inital opening of some large documents, downloads of games) seem to trigger the switch to the dGPU, which drains the battery faster, and nearly unexpectedly. But it can charge via the USB-C port, so it's easy to top it up while on the move.
