Customer Ratings & Reviews

I started out building computers way back in the nineties. One thing that has always been consistent for my builds, has been ASUS motherboards. I have had the pleasure of watching ASUS grow into the industry leading company that they are today. The new ROG G14 is no exception. While nothing is ever “perfect,” the G14 gets extremely close in the mobile computing tech space. From its premium build quality, to its performance, and unbelievably excellent display, the ASUS ROG G14 just might be the perfect compact daily driver on the market today. — BUILD — The all aluminum chassis and white color screams elegance while feeling and looking premium in every way possible. Add in the new customizable LED lighting on the lid and you have a mobile computing package that wants to be seen. The keys have a great tactile response and are easy on the fingers. As comfortable as they may be, I do have a small issue with the backlighting of the keys. While it is great that you can customize the color and effect in the included ASUS Armory Crate software, there is a problem with the backlighting of the corners of the keys where the F keys and smaller symbols are displayed. Some of them are illuminated more than others, but most are pretty dull/dark and are hard to read (see photo). While this is a pretty small issue, I do expect ASUS to do better in this area, and care should be taken upon updating for the next release. — DISPLAY — I have to admit, as a professional photographer and videographer by day, and gamer by night, the display is and will always be one of the biggest deciding factors for me when selecting a laptop, or stand alone monitor. Gaming laptops, until recently, have always seemed to be stuck at 1080, and that is simply unacceptable for today's standards. Now that companies like ASUS are finally giving us higher resolution monitors, like the beautiful 3K display included on this computer, we can finally start using these gaming marketed laptops for multi use scenarios, including photo and video editing. Gaming laptops have (mostly) always had the processors and RAM to handle video editing, so now that we have the beautiful 3K display, we are all set to be productive and to also unwind with our favorite top tier games all on the same computer wherever we may be. This display is sharp, vibrant, and very bright. Text is super clear, which is a very welcome addition to Windows based computers. Whites are bright, blacks are deep. It is simply stunning to look at, whether you are gaming, editing, or watching movies. I can’t say enough good things about it. Thank you, ASUS! — PERFORMANCE — Having 32GB of RAM on this model standard, makes this machine capable of everything I need a computer to do right out of the box. This includes everything I mentioned previously, such as photo and video editing, general daily use, and of course, gaming. I have tried several titles in the last week, including the newly remastered Oblivion, the ambitious and fun Avowed, and one of my all time favorites, Diablo IV. The ROG G14 hasn’t had so much as a single hiccup loading or playing any of these excellent games, and for me, that is all I can ask. The AMD Ryzen 9, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, and the excellent 120Hz display all come together in unison to create a more than capable and compelling mobile computing powerhouse. If there was one thing I could comment on that is consistent with any gaming laptop I have had in the past, is the fact that it does get a little warm to the touch when playing graphically intense games. Rest assured, gaming laptops have always been this way, and are designed to be able to handle the heat appropriately. Ultimately, if I can take a laptop wherever I want to go and work, or play top tier games all on the same computer, I am one happy camper. — SOUND — Normally, laptop speakers are one of the most overlooked areas in development, but I am happy to report that ASUS must have listened, and have included a set of speakers that are among the loudest, and best sounding I have ever had on any laptop I have ever owned. Another thank you, ASUS! All of that said, I do use Bluetooth over the ear headphones most of the time, but the fact that these speakers do sound great is certainly worth mentioning for those that may prefer using them as opposed to tuning out of your surroundings completely. — PORTS — All of the usual suspects are present, including HDMI, USB-A, USB-C (with Display Port support and power delivery), a 3.5mm micro headphone/mic combo jack, and a micro SD card reader. While I appreciate the ports provided, I would like to see at least one more USB-C port, and a full size SD card reader instead of the micro SD card reader. Again, this is me talking as a photographer, and videographer. I think most users, if given the choice, would definitely opt for a full size SD card reader. You could then simply use an adapter to use a micro SD card. Not as easy the other way around. Are you listening, ASUS?! — BATTERY — I haven’t had the chance to fully test the battery in the short time I have had the computer, but I did run it on battery at home to see what it could handle while gaming. It seems to be on par with any other gaming laptop I have had in the past, or even marginally better considering this is the 14” model. I rarely have the need to use the computer on battery power alone, as I have battery packs that I can take with me on the road if needed. — WEBCAM — This model has a 1080 webcam built in. I honestly do not use these very often, and would prefer that ASUS would give us the option to close the iris with a slider like other models do. — IN CONCLUSION — As previously mentioned, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is a highly capable laptop that tackles the high demanding applications I use daily with ease. The few issues I mentioned, key backlighting, SD card slot, and heat under intense use, are minor in the grand scope of what you get with this computer. If you want a computer that really does it all, and does it all well, I can highly recommend the ASUS Rog Zephyrus G14.

What makes this laptop different from all the other gaming laptops recently released? I hope to bring some clarity to this question with my review. Currently, the number of 2025 model year gaming laptops containing a NVIDIA RTX 5000 series graphics card has increased considerably now that the entry level 5060 cards have hit the market. Keeping this in mind, it’s important to note that this laptop, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, contains a 5070 TI series graphics card. Essentially, this card is a step up from the entry level 5060 cards. So, it not only has a stronger GPU with more processing power, but more importantly, it comes with more video memory (VRAM). And in this case, the RTX 5070 TI has 12 GB of VRAM versus the 5060’s 8 GB. The additional video memory, in my opinion, is going to make a significant difference when playing the latest AAA games, such as Cyberpunk 2077 or Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. These games are so complex and large in size that the more video memory your graphics card comes with, the better the games look and play. In addition to the better graphics card, this laptop comes with 32 GB of standard memory. Again, the more memory the better, especially if you want to future proof your laptop. Like I mentioned earlier, games and programs are becoming more demanding, and soon 32 GB will be the recommended amount of system memory for any gaming PC. Still, the specs discussed so far do not describe the uniqueness of this laptop. A better graphics card and a lot of memory can be found in many of the other gaming laptops on sale at Best Buy. However, it is very unique that these and other specs are housed in a laptop as light and portable as this one. Weighing only 3.46 pounds, it’s easy to carry anywhere. A laptop such as this would be perfect for someone who needs the power of a gaming pc but also needs something light, thin, and easy to transport. On top of this, the quality and look is very high end. The body is made from aluminum and has the look and feel comparable to a MacBook Pro. And more importantly, the size and aesthetics do not affect the laptop’s performance. Given its size, I was curious to see how well it would perform in games. I mention size because sometimes a smaller chassis can limit the amount of airflow and cooling on inside components. However, the G14 is a solid performer. To illustrate this, I tested this gaming laptop against two other gaming laptops I own. The first one is an RTX 4060 with 8 GB of VRAM paired with a 13th generation Intel Core i7 13700HX processor with 16 GB of system RAM. The other gaming laptop has a beastly RTX 4090 with 32 GB of RAM paired with a 14th generation Intel Core Ultra 9 185H. Of course, this is not an apple-to-apple comparison, but it’s what I currently own. And it may allow someone who is looking to upgrade from a similar system a chance to see differences in frames per second (FPS). To begin, I put each laptop through Unigine’s SuperPosition benchmark (see images). The new Zephyrus G14 scored 8921 with an average frame rate of 67 and a minimum of 53. I tested all three laptops using the same 1080p Extreme graphics settings. Also, each laptop had its highest performance mode turned on. Back to the comparison, the more powerful older laptop with the RTX 4090 scored 9229 with an average frame rate of 69 and a minimum of 47. And the RTX 4070 laptop scored 5701 with an average frame rate of 43 and a minimum of 37. So, compared to the older 4070 laptop, this 5070 TI system doubles its score and improves its FPS by 56%. When compared to the 4090 laptop, the G14 came close to the 4090’s score and was only off by a couple of FPS. In real world gaming though, the newer 5070 card on this G14 will allow up to 4 times multi frame generation (MFG), while the older 4090 is only capable of 2 times MFG. Depending on the game, this may allow for higher FPS mainly because of the latest MFG technology available in the newer NVIDIA RTX 5000 series graphic cards. The next game I used to compare the laptops was the new Indiana Jones and the Great Circle release (see images). If there ever is a game that needs a lot of video RAM, then this one is it. There is so much scenery, sunlight, and various other details, the game benefits from as having the data stored on the graphic card’s faster video RAM versus needing to get it from the main hard drive, or solid-state drive (SSD) as is the case with these laptops. This is where the older 4090 with 32 GB of VRAM helps. But the 5070 TI’s 12 GB of VRAM is still a good amount. As you’ll see in the results, the 4090 still performs better, but the 5070 TI is still capable of generating a good frame rate (anything above 60 FPS). Both laptops were tested using the following settings in the game: 1080p, all the graphic quality settings set to high, Ray Tracing (RT) on Medium, DLSS turned on using the Quality setting, and MFG of 2 time for the 4090 and 4 times for the 5070 TI. As seen in the images, the 4090 was getting FPS in the 100 range. And the 5070 TI was getting FPS in the mid-70s. So, in this case, of course the 4090 outperformed the 5070, but it’s important to keep in mind the cost of each laptop. The 4090 would easily be twice as much as the 5070 TI at launch. And it is the difference in cost that makes this G14 laptop stand out from the many other gaming laptops available today. The cost of this laptop is still within a reasonable amount of the lower-level RTX 5060 gaming PCs. Again, the benefit of this laptop is if someone wants a better graphics card with more available video RAM then the entry level 5060s. Not only does the 5070 TI graphics card have more VRAM, but it is also a stronger video card with more CUDA cores, RT cores, and Tensor cores than the 5060. Simple put, you’ll get a stronger gaming PC in the G14 without breaking the bank. However, you’ll also want to consider your other needs. Like, are you wanting a light and portable gaming PC? Is the premium build and look important to you? Will a 14-inch screen work for you? Will you be doing any creative work on this laptop? Regarding the last question, it is worth mentioning that the OLED screen is amazing. Overall, this laptop’s build and look is impressive. And for those still reading my review, I want to mention that as for the 4070 laptop used in my comparison above, it was not even able to play the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle game using the same settings that the 4090 and the 5070 TI were tested under. Many of the visual features were turned off or toned down for the older 4070. The game still played well with good FPS, but the graphics were pretty basic compared to output of this G14 gaming laptop. The only negative I have with this laptop is the sensitivity of the touchpad. I think because of its large size, my hands touch it a lot while typing. This can get annoying when you’re trying to type and the cursor is moving to different places. I guess I’ll just have to get use to it and hope it become less of a distraction over time. But really, everything else about this laptop is topnotch. It truly is a premium machine.

This is the highest performance-per-dollar you'll get in the Zephyrus G14 lineup, and probably out of any 14" laptop on the market. No other 14" laptop goes past an RTX 5070, which means you're stuck with 8GB VRAM on those, and the 5070 Ti just performs way better. I had the RTX 5080 version as well, which gave up to a 15% increase in fps over this one, but it's about 30% more expensive too, so something to keep in mind. Outside of performance, this thing has amazing battery life, an awesome CPU, beautiful oled display, fantastic speakers, all while being extremely thin and light. I found that this 5070 Ti model actually matches the RTX 4090 G14 from last gen in most games, despite having a lower Time Spy score than that one, so that is really cool to see. The only thing I think might set some people back is the fans are very loud while gaming, but when you're doing basic stuff they're dead quiet or just not running at all. Overall, I think this G14 is the best 14" laptop on the market as far as value for how much performance you get, if you can justify the cost, especially when it's on sale or open-box!

--- SETUP --- The ASUS ROG Zephyrus laptop is quick and easy to set up. Upon turning it on, choose your language and follow the on-screen prompts to set your computer up. --- SPECS--- Device name Asus2 Processor AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 w/ Radeon 890M 2.00 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.1 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display Graphics Card RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU --- PERFORMANCE AND EXPECTATIONS --- This laptop is a powerful performer for gamers and content creators alike. After updates, I installed some of my favorite games: Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, Hogwarts Legacy, Clair Obscur, and Expedition 33. Playing these games on the go feels fantastic. The visuals that this computer offers are amazing for a portable device. I quickly paired one of my Xbox controllers and it worked as expected. I played my games with the laptop plugged into an outlet at all times, so battery was never an issue. When playing I first tried to game without headphones and just used the audio from the laptop itself. The audio is very good, within the limitations of laptop speakers. If playing in a quiet hotel room, like I was, then this is an ideal way for downtime just before bed during your vacation. If you’re going to use this laptop to game while at work, it is also a good laptop to get some matches in during lunchtime. For this occasion, I played a couple of games without being plugged into an outlet. The battery lasted me almost 2 hours before I got a notification that I needed to plug back in. As far as storage goes, 1TB isn’t enough if this is the only dedicated gaming machine you have and you are an avid gamer. However, if this is your gaming machine you use when traveling, then 1TB is more than enough to install your favorite 3-4 games for on-the-go gaming. Some quality-of-life features that I enjoy are logging in with face-recognition. After you turn on your computers, if you’ve set up face recognition log in, you don’t have to enter your password anymore. It’ll be like unlocking your iPhone, and it works well. The keyboard lighting is also fantastic for in-the-dark gaming. The mousepad is sizable and that is appreciated. The lightness of the laptop makes it ideal to carry around in a backpack. Some things to know: This laptop doesn’t have a number pad, when gaming, the fan can be noisy and the laptop can get hot. Additionally, if you’re used to gaming on a bigger screen, then the screen for this laptop, at 14”, will feel smaller, but that doesn’t take away from how awesome the visuals look. Lastly, I tried this laptop for my content creation needs. Specifically, I used CapCut Desktop pro to edit my 4K footage of my weekend business (Dance Company). The laptop was able to handle my 4K video footage running it from an external USB-C drive. The rendering preview of the footage didn’t skip, and adding transitions and effects didn’t slow down the software. --- APPROVAL --- Overall, this laptop is a powerbeast and it is great for gaming and editing on the go. I highly recommend this laptop.

This laptop is a big step up from my 2021 model with a 3060. It's sleek, powerful, and feels very well built. The speakers and display are much improved, especially with the 14'' form factor. For most users, the 120Hz screen is plenty; if you're into competitive shooters, you'll still want an external monitor. On the downside, the pre-installed Windows is full of bloatware, and I had some crashes both in games and at login. Swapping to a 4TB SSD and doing a clean install (without Armoury Crate) made a big difference. G-Helper is a great lightweight tool for managing GPU selection, display settings, and CPU boost—plus it keeps track of your driver status. I have yet to boot and install Linux, so will update once I try. Performance-wise, the 5070Ti is strong for the size, even with a slightly limited TDP (110W standard boost, 120W via G-Helper). However, 16GB VRAM would have been better for modern AAA titles; some games like Indiana Jones already show issues with the 12GB buffer. The AMD HX Chip feels similar to the 2021 gen as it is very efficient, but has considerable improvement in compute. The 32GB of Dram is soldered... but it's LPDDR5X 8000MT/s. For everything else, performance has been excellent so far—I’ll update once I’ve tested more titles, especially on an external monitor. Battery life is solid for Windows (not quite Apple Silicon levels, but good enough for a full day at school). When gaming, though, this laptop runs hot—definitely consider a cooling pad for longer sessions. I enjoy using the keyboard a lot, it feels even better than the 2021 version. Probably the best laptop keyboard even comparing to Macbook Pro. I think windows hello is okay, after a clean OS install it was not that slow. An improved fingerprint scanner would have been the better option. The webcam is okay but nothing to write home about. Overall, if ASUS can fix some software/driver issues, this might be the best dual-duty lightweight Windows laptop out there. Lightbar needs to go. I turned it off the first day and I think it would look more sleek without it.

Bottom Line: The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 packs power and performance into a sleek, lightweight design with few compromises. Pros: premium feel and finish; great keyboard and trackpad; excellent OLED screen; powerful gaming hardware Cons: fan noise; just adequate audio Review (Hardware): The G14 has a sleek, modern design that looks more like a premium laptop than a gaming machine. It also feels solid in the hand despite being fairly light (under 3.5 pounds). This makes it great for gaming and for at work, since it’s easy to carry around and blends in well in meetings. The keys are really stable (compared to others where you can feel a little of the wobble when you press them), which offers a noticeable smooth typing experience. Similarly, the large trackpad is great to use. The 3K OLED screen is one of the standout features, and, with its small bezels, offers an excellent and immersive HDR video and gaming experience. It also houses the camera system, and the IR camera does a great and fast job at facial recognition for unlocking the system. The audio experience, unfortunately, isn’t as great. On the one hand, the speakers do a good job of creating a spatial audio experience, and the sound is quite loud. On the other, the sound quality is mediocre. Mids come across well, but the highs get muffled. Bass/lows also don’t come across super well, with, perhaps, the exception of the snare drum which has decent punch. Review (Performance): Although the G14 is a capable productivity and content creation machine, I’ll focus on gaming. The machine boasts an AMD Ryzen AI 9 processor, 32GB RAM, and a 12GB Nvidia 5070 Ti graphics card, which really delivers on gaming performance. Since I got the machine, I’ve mostly been playing Robocop: Rogue City (2023). Auto detect sets the graphics to max resolution (2800x1800) and highest quality (epic) for all but two settings (which auto set to high) . With these settings, the game runs perfectly, and I haven’t noticed any performance drops even after hour+ play sessions. I’ve also spent a little bit of time replaying Gotham Knights (2023), which also auto detects to max resolution and highest quality for all but one setting (with ray tracing turned off). Overall, game performance is fantastic. That said, I have noticed two issues. The first, which is very minor, is that the system seems to freeze for second when the Nvidia software controller switches from integrated graphics to dedicated graphics and vice versa. It’s not really problematic, but the freeze is definitely noticeable. Perhaps this is something that will be addressed in a software update. The second is related to the cooling system. Perhaps because it is a 14 inch laptop, the fan/exhaust system tends to be higher pitched and noisier when compared to my other, 16” gaming machine. During gaming sessions on the G14, the fans run at max speed all of the time. I tried turning the settings down (1080p, low quality), but it doesn’t seem to matter. I’ve also noticed the sound of the fan under minimal load such as just downloading files off the internet, and so I end up setting the computer to silent mode in Armory Crate when in meetings.

I think this is one the most powerful 14" gaming laptop that I have used (you get what you pay for :)). In short, it has a very sleek and premium design, awesome/sharp OLED display, great speakers and a number of inputs that should suffice all your needs. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor and NVidia RTX 5070 Ti GPU make it a powerhouse capabale of handling almost any task/game that you throw it. Here are some more details observations: The aluminium body looks nice/premium and is very sturdy. There are grippy rubber feet at the bottom and the hinges are smooth. There are number of ports on both sides (Two USB-C, two USB-A, one HDMI, one microSD Card Reader, one properitery charging and microphone). The keyboard and touchpad are pretty good. The keys are large and have sufficient space between them to make typing fast and accurate. The keys are RGB backlit which looks nice. The touchpad is large and made of glass. It also works as expected. The image quality is beautiful, colors are sharp and blacks are deep and dark. The 240Hz refresh rate and super fast response time make any game look awesome. It has WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The audio quality is quite good (there are two main speakers). There is a camera with FHD resolution and microphones. The camera supports Windows Hello. The battery life is not that great. I get around 4-6 hours of use when doing the regular tasks (e.g. browsing, coding, watching movies etc.). But the battery drains quickly when playing games in performance mode. I usually get only 1-2 hours in that mode. Overall, a stylish, light and powerful laptop if you can afford it :)

The Zephyrus G14 is an incredible balance of power and portability. The 3K OLED display is sharp, vibrant, and makes gaming and productivity a joy. The Ryzen AI 9 HX paired with the RTX 5070 Ti handles everything smoothly, from gaming to heavy multitasking. Battery life is surprisingly good for such a powerful laptop, and the build quality feels premium. The fans can get a little loud under heavy load, but that’s expected for this level of performance.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is an absolute beast packed into a surprisingly compact 14-inch frame. With the AMD Ryzen 9 HX processor, 32GB RAM, and NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, it handles gaming, content creation, and multitasking effortlessly. I’ve played graphically intense games at high settings, and the 3K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate delivers stunning visuals—vibrant colors, deep blacks, and smooth motion. The laptop stays relatively cool even under heavy load, thanks to ASUS’s advanced cooling system. Storage is generous with a 1TB SSD, and the build quality feels premium, especially in the sleek Platinum White finish. Battery life is decent for a gaming laptop, and the keyboard is comfortable for both gaming and typing sessions. Overall, this laptop is perfect for gamers, creatives, or anyone who wants a high-performance machine in a portable, stylish form factor. Truly worth every penny.

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.

I'm a big fan of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 line. I've had a couple of the previous years versions along with a few other gaming laptops. Without question this is the best of the line. The build of the laptop is beautiful. Solid feeling with the aluminum casing. No creaking or flexing. Unlike many modern laptops, this has plenty of port connections. Included in this is the 40gbs USB-C 4 port. The keyboard feels amazing and not overly crampt considering the small size. The trackpad is large and smooth. You get 32GB RAM. This is good because you can not upgrade the RAM. Not a fan of not being able to upgrade, but I think it is all part of keeping the laptop thin. On the plus side, the RAM is very fast DDR5 and I doubt you would ever feel like it's not enough. As for storage, 1TB of fast SSD is included. This can be upgraded if you like, but there is no second slot for extra storage. I am very impressed with the sound quality. The speakers are loud with amazing sound. Honestly, probably the best sounding laptop speakers I have ever heard. The 3K 120hz screen is a thing of beauty. 500 nits of brightness and incredible color. The fact that it is an OLED display promises incredible clarity, deep blacks and great contrast. You would be hard pressed to find a better laptop screen. Now, the most important thing is how does it perform? Awesome! The new GeForce RTX 5070ti with 12GB of VRAM is a perfect fit. It balances high performance with the small size of the laptop to give a great gaming experience. I think if it were to have had a 5080 or even a 5090 those graphics cards would have created a bottleneck and created way to much heat. As it is, it can get hot during intense gaming but no worse than any other gaming laptop. The heat will get the fans moving but again, to be expected and I haven't found the noise that bad under load. During non-gaming use I don't even hear the fans kicking in. The 5070ti allows for max settings on most games without issue. I haven't experienced any lag or hickups with any games. I also use this for photo editing and I have been greatly impressed with how well it runs photo editing software than can normally be a bit laggy at times. Battery life is the same as any other gaming laptop. That is to say keep your charger handy if you plan to game for more than an hour. As for web browsing, video watching and such, 6-7 hours can be expected. So as far as battery performance goes this is in-line with virtually all other laptops in this class. I still look forward to the day when battery performance makes a big leap in laptops, but that day isn't here yet. However, the fact that you can charge it thru the USB-C as well as the dedicated charging port can really come in handy. Should you buy it? If you are looking for a thin, lightweight 14" machine that can do everything with ease AND has top notch graphics, a beautiful OLED screen and amazing sound, then yes, grab one today. This is easily one of (if not THE best) gaming laptops you can buy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
