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

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

A sleek compact powerhouse that is wonderful for both gaming and work.

love. Amazing laptop. Brilliant performance and aesthetics. I wish best buy stocked more eclipse gray models. Quality of product is almost on par with MacBook. Optimizing battery life takes a little work and usually constant tweaks in ghelper. Tried overcooking with ghelper and i saw major increase in time spy.

My first gaming laptop! Pretty and clean look! Many features. The only downsides was I wasn’t told there are some things you need to download yourself for things to work, such as the slash lighting application.

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.

This is by far The Best Laptop I have ever purchased. The speed of uploading pics and media is phenomenal. This machine is a Beast of Beast, so if your imagination is anywhere near my huge imagination… I suggest you purchase this laptop!!!

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.

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.

Fantastic laptop so far it’s honestly great performance for money, I wish it was 240hz but it works fine.

just like how everyone says, beautiful display, powerhouse, lightweight, but average battery life

Build quality is amazing, keyboard very nice to type on, screen is amazing

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (GA403WR‑G14.R95070TI) Review "Asus Brings the Performance and the Heat" ASUS’ 14‑inch Zephyrus G14 line has long been regarded as a benchmark for portable desktop power. The 2024 GA403WR variant tested (SKU GA403WR‑G14.R95070TI, available at Best Buy) pairs AMD’s new Ryzen AI 9 HX processor with an RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU and tops it off with a 14‑inch 120 Hz OLED panel. In my hands‑on testing, I found a machine that absolutely flies, so long as its thermals are kept in check. Specifications: • CPU: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX (Strix Point, 12 cores / 24 threads, up to 5.1 GHz, integrated NPU) • Integrated GPU: Radeon 890M (RDNA 3, 16 CUs) • Discrete GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU (12 GB GDDR6, 90–105 W TGP) • Memory: 32 GB LPDDR5X‑6400 (soldered, dual‑channel) • Storage: 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD (M.2 2280, user‑replaceable) • Display: 14‑inch 2880 × 1800 OLED, 120 Hz, 16:10, Pantone‑validated, Gorilla Glass with AR coating • I/O Ports: – 2 × USB‑A 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) – 1 × USB‑C 3.2 Gen 2 (DP 1.4, 100 W PD) – 1 × USB‑C 4 (40 Gbps, DP 1.4, 100 W PD) – 1 × HDMI 2.1 (4K120 / 8K60) – 3.5 mm combo audio jack – micro‑SD (UHS‑II, up to 312 MB/s) • Charging: 240 W proprietary barrel charger included; supports up to 100 W USB‑C PD input • Wireless: Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be 2 × 2) + Bluetooth 5.4 • Battery: 73 Wh 4‑cell Li‑ion Design and Build: At 3.5 lb and clad in magnesium alloy, the G14 feels rock solid yet backpack friendly. A beveled front edge keeps the palm rest comfortable while the firm hinge allows almost effortless one‑hand opening. Under the lid, the glossy OLED panel is surprisingly resistant to reflections thanks to a subtle anti‑reflection coating. Its rich colors, true blacks, and punchy contrast are every bit as impressive as reviewers across the web have claimed, making games and HDR video look outstanding. Inputs and Audio: Typing is classic Zephyrus: shallow but crisp keys with single‑zone RGB. The edge‑to‑edge glass touchpad is large, silky smooth, and flawlessly responsive. Side‑firing speakers deliver shockingly full‑bodied sound until heavy loads force the cooling system to drown them out. Performance: Out of the box (Windows 11 with Armoury Crate set to Ultimate for dGPU only) the RTX 5070 Ti flexes real muscle. 3DMark results: • Time Spy: 13 702 (86 FPS) – Legendary • Time Spy Extreme: 7 339 (49 FPS) – Legendary • Speed Way: 3 957 (40 FPS) – Legendary • Steel Nomad (DX12): 3 468 (35 FPS) – Excellent • Fire Strike Ultra: 9 669 (60 FPS) – Legendary • Port Royal: 10 008 (46 FPS) – Legendary In real‑world play Overwatch 2 at 1440p Ultra holds at the 120 FPS limit of the screen. Thermals and Acoustics: Fast hardware creates serious heat. Surface temperatures reached 94 °F (34 °C) on the palm rests during web work, 109–111 °F (43 °C) around the WASD area while gaming, and 119 °F (48 °C) at the rear exhaust after consecutive benchmark loops. Fans peak around 50 dBA during heavy loads, which noticeably muffles the otherwise impressive speakers. In warm rooms sustained loads will throttle clocks unless you elevate the rear, add a cooling pad, or reduce settings. Software Experience: ASUS ships a refreshingly clean Windows image. Boot to desktop takes about 15 seconds with 167 GB already used. Automatic GPU switching introduced one‑ to two‑second freezes and a single BSOD while starting Time Spy Extreme. Setting Armoury Crate to Ultimate (dGPU only) before gaming removes the hiccups, though changing modes requires a full reboot. Webcam, Ports, and Storage: The 720p webcam is serviceable for calls and includes an IR sensor that enables fast Windows Hello log‑ins, but image quality trails newer 1080p options. Port selection is solid with USB‑C 4, HDMI 2.1, and micro‑SD, yet the single 1 TB SSD fills quickly. Power users should plan on a larger NVMe drive or a fast USB‑C 4 enclosure. Advice for New Owners: •Lock the GPU to dGPU‑only mode in Armoury Crate (System > GPU Mode > Ultimate) before launching demanding games or benchmarks. This eliminates the freezes and the BSOD observed when the system auto‑switched graphics. Changing this setting forces a reboot. • Reboot each time you adjust Armoury Crate power or fan profiles. Many options do not apply until after a restart. • Elevate the rear edge or use a cooling pad. Better airflow dropped surface temps by several degrees and kept clocks from throttling in long sessions. • Game on an external keyboard and mouse. Deck temperatures can exceed 110 °F under sustained GPU load, making the built‑in keys uncomfortable. • Keep the system in an air‑conditioned space. High ambient temperatures quickly push the chassis into the thermal limit. • Update NVIDIA drivers directly (no login required) for the best performance and bug fixes. • Budget for storage expansion. A fast USB‑C 4 or Thunderbolt NVMe enclosure can double as an external Steam or Epic library with only a minor load‑time penalty versus the internal drive. Verdict: After several days with the GA403WR, I see it as a pint‑sized powerhouse that lives up to the Zephyrus reputation, provided you keep it cool. On a desk with AC and external peripherals it rivals bulkier sixteen‑inch rigs, but on your lap in summer it quickly becomes uncomfortable. During my years of constant travel I longed for a laptop I could slip into a carry‑on, connect to a hotel TV over HDMI 2.1, and enjoy full PC gaming at night. This G14 finally fits that role. It remains efficient on integrated graphics for flights and cafés, then unleashes the RTX 5070 Ti once plugged in. Buy if: • You want desktop‑class RTX 5070 Ti performance in a portable form factor. • A vibrant 120 Hz OLED panel is essential. • You game on AC power with external keyboard, mouse, and added ventilation. Skip if: • Fan noise and hot surfaces are deal breakers. • You need an excellent webcam for frequent video calls. • Your game library easily exceeds 1 TB of storage.

Works amazing and runs smoothly without any hiccups

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.

An amazing laptop that runs over 8 hours on battery life with ghelper

Love it. Works really well, smooth and portable, plays the games I want, so happy.

The new ASUS Rog Zephyrus G14 (2025) that I have been using for about a week now and its been a blast so far. The sleek portable, thin look, feel, performance, specs including the beautiful vibrant OLED display is awesome. -- Design -- As mentioned above, this laptop is fantastic from its thin, sleek look and the white color for this makes it feel like a premium 14 inch laptop with its sturdy chassis made out of premium metals. Ergonomics feel great, smooth hinges, the only small minor thing I wish was front and center and noticeable is the LED indicator lights such as the SSD (formerly known as the HDD) Indicator LED was more pronounced and shown to the user and the charging indicator LED light. The SSD LED helps if Windows ever happens to freeze and your curious if the SSD is doing something such as installing updates, working in the background, etc. Same with the charging, if I was in a rush and wanted to glance for a second from a far distance to see if the charging LED color has changed to a solid color of some sorts stating the laptop is charged, I can unhook and im ready to rush out the door and be worry free if my laptop is charged all the way or not. -- Display -- The screen on this laptop is a awesome 14 inch. 16:10 glossy slick looking OLED. Its beautiful looking at anything on the OLED with its deep blacks and colors that just punch. Upon looking in the settings, it shows a 240Hz refresh rate with instant response time. If you worry about content/games being to big on this small screen, I assure you, don't be as the screen and resolution set at 2880 x 1800 and to me, it feels just as if I was on a 16 inch laptop. A big win to ASUS for this and most appreciated for content creation, media consumption and game playing. -- Performance -- To me, this laptop feels like one of the most powerful 14 inch laptops out there today. With its AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and a integrated Radeon 890m GPU along with that, but.... lets not also forget the main NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with 12gb of GDDR7 VRAM packed into this AND last but not least, a dedicated NPU, the usage out of this is limitless. Trying out some games, first off, recently released in the past month, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, by default, everything was set to medium in graphics, I put all the settings to Ultra and I was averaging around 55-60FPS. 2nd game I tried was Cyberpunk 2077 with RT on Overdrive, DLSS 4.0 - DLSS Balanced, MFG on 4x, Ray Reconstruction On, Path Tracing on, around 100FPS avg. With just these 2 games, I was just in awe with how smooth and great these games played. Also do not forget, This is also considered a Copilot+ PC with a dedicated NPU, enabling Windows 11 features like Recall, which uses snapshots to help you find content via natural language search. It also includes the updated Paint app with Copilot, allowing AI-based image generation, background removal, and editing. -- Connectivity -- For charging, this has a proprietary square plug for the charging port on the left side, then it has its fair selection of ports on the sides. The port selection is really generous here starting on the left side of the laptop, (1) HDMI 2.1 port, (1) USB-C 4.0, 1x USB-A 3.2, audio jack, then on the right side, you get (1) USB-A 3.2, (1) USB-C Gen 2 & micro SD UHS-II card reader. Then it has WiFi 7 2×2 with Bluetooth 5.4 (Mediatek MT7925). Didn't have any problems with WiFi what so ever, in fact, this laptop out performs my ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (2023) model's Wifi module by a long shot downloading at the max speeds I expect. -- Interface -- The keyboard layout is cozy, typing on this feels excellent with great feedback and very quiet, may I dare say, quiet actuations. The keys are backlit with RGB, bright and good lighting LED's. While looking through the settings, I see its only a single zone RGB control over the keyboard RGB and not for each individual key but im ok with that as I usually set it to my favorite color, a mid tone blue. The touchpad is huge and its made of glass, It could be a tad smaller but not really a gripe, just a wish as sometimes when im typing, my palm will accidently swipe to something else on the screen. -- Battery -- Battery life is ok on this, its a 73 Wh, up to 180 W power adapter, USB-C charging up to 100W which I rather would use the included ASUS power adapter for the full quicker charge, 50% in 30 minutes. But using it on battery, I got on 2 occasions with a full charge, I got around 5-6 hours of usage with no gaming, just casual browsing, doing work, playing a video here and there. Then with a 3rd charge with a game running at max settings, 1 hour average before the battery is depleted and needs to be recharged again. -- Sound -- I give double thumbs up to ASUS. The speakers on this laptop are so loud, and so crystal clear, its enough to fill a room that there is no need for external speakers hooked up. To sum it up, the sound is rich! -- Suggestion -- For the next Zephyrus line next year, please DO NOT GET RID OF THE LED INDICATOR LIGHTS! Make them more noticeable on the front/top of the keyboard or if needed, put the lights on the sides for ones like me who are use to seeing these LED's/lights back in the 90's/2000's on PC's and laptops. -- Conclusion-- As this is my main laptop, it has a gorgeous display, great keyboard, plenty of ports, rich sound/speakers, and performance beast, its a premium must buy. I am looking forward to continue using this for work, play while lounging around. ASUS really did a banger job with this premium carefully made laptop!

Love this laptop works great for me as a Uni student since it’s small and portable but has enough power for me to game when I get back to my dorm

It's good, but not a good option for Ubuntu or linux unless you are using the very latest distro, like Ubuntu 25.04. Other distros break. Also, I have been hearing high-pitched sounds from it.
