Customer Ratings & Reviews

The unpacking reveals the chassis that almost looks carved out of marble. The first sense you get that this is not just pretty but a solid performant machine is the heft, and the feel of the body. It feels remarkably rigid for a laptop, I could not discern any flex at all. You have to plug it in, to turn it on for the first time. Along with the laptop is a chonky 200W power supply, and the laptop has a DCIN port on the left hand side. And this is not a USB-C power supply, I am not sure why. Seems like the latest USB C standard allows for up to 240W of power supply, so... why not use that standard. There are 2 USB C ports capable of power delivery on both sides of the laptop, but I am guessing they don't deliver the full 200W of peak power. And the laptop can detect when its getting the 200W through the included supply, and auto switches to the discrete GPU even on the desktop. I usually play eSports like FC25, CS GO and this laptop chews them up like they are a spreadsheet. I also threw Witcher 3 and GTA V at it, and with the laptop plugged into the wall through the included power supply. Witcher 3 at high settings ran smooth, but I had to tweak some settings for GTAV. But once you start playing on that beautiful display, you are not focused on a couple of FPS dips, the experience is unparalleled. When the laptop switches from the integrated AMD GPU to the discrete NVIDIA GPU, the screen blinks for a second (goes dark and comes back on. It was a bit concerning at the beginning, till I realized that's just how the switch works. You can reduce the resolution to extend battery life, which is exactly what I did, honestly on a 14" screen I have never I felt I needed anything more than 1920 x 1200. Yes, 1200 not 1080, since this is a 16:10 screen, giving you a bit more vertical real estate. Which in the days of Windows 11, where the start menu still cannot be placed on whichever edge you want (! Microsoft!!), is a boon. And there have been days where I have purely used it as a web browsing machine, and on balanced power setting, with the resolution set as I have, I have almost eeked out 7ish hours. This includes Youtube and Netflix play back. And this is where we come to the audio. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack. But oh my god! The speakers, how they packed that kind of sound into this thing of a body is beyond me. Hands down the best laptop speakers I have heard. There is a surround sound effect, and the bass is felt, it truly fills the room. Just to round off the I/O, it also has a full HDMI port, 2 full USB A ports and a microSD card reader. Again, this is not something that can be taken for granted these days, where companies take any chance to reduce cost and remove features in the name of "slim" profiles. This laptop is ofcourse not ultra thin, its just about the right profile. Now lets talk about a few gripes of mine - This is Windows Hello capable, but just through the camera and not a fingerprint reader. The power button feels exactly like a fingerprint reader does, but apparently its not one. At least for me in Windows settings, no fingerprint scanner was detected. And I don't like facial scanning, so here I am using PIN number like a normie. This is not a touch enabled screen, I am not a heavy touch screen user on a laptop, but nowadays they are so universal, that on some occasions I do find myself without thinking , swiping on the screen and then realise, nothing's happening. Your mileage may vary. Also, I will bring it up for every single laptop, since Dell Inspiron spoiled me. In this day and age of privacy conscious consumer, the camera needs to have a privacy shutter built in. Overall though I absolutely adore it and it is my daily driver.

Build quality is excellent with surprisingly good speakers. Keyboard has built-in LED programmable color change. Wi-Fi is quite fast Wi-Fi seven Chip is media tech. ROG installs quite a bit of software to help with game optimization and coloring. Fan is frequently on and it’s fairly quiet unless running demanding applications. On the left, there is a headphone jack USB-A, HDMI, power and 40 GB thunderbolt port. On the right there is a 10 GB USB and an additional USB-C. A microSD slot is also present on the left. Screen is fantastic and bright. Screen to size ratio is excellent with a minimal bezel particularly on the left and right. The glass track pad is large and very functional. The keyboard is very good and given the size there is no number pad. A separate power button is supplied. This is always preferred as it can be found easily without backlighting. AURALED lighting is access via function button. Silent performance and turbo motors are also available Via hot key. The silent mode runs a small speed fan. Copilot button is unfortunately included. Restart and power on quite quick. I tested several games and play was quite smooth and sound is surprisingly good without headphones. All steam games including latest call of duty were quite smooth - I attempted Doom Eternal via Xbox live but it failed to launch. I will test more but believe the issue not related to the laptop or drivers but the install. I much prefer steam and GOG over the Microsoft launcher. Armory crate software is very good and more robust than some other gaming software optimization utilities that I have utilized. With the system in the Windows operating mode, the fans were between 2320 600 rpm with an acoustic level of 24.2 DBA. The silent mode was similar. Performance mode in turbo mode were louder./Lighting allows, illuminated examinations to cost your laptop lid through a customizable LED display and has a sonic match capability. Overal an excellent 14 inch gaming laptop with none of the typical small size limitations!

Since I like to use my laptop for gaming, I normally look for higher-end components when shopping for a laptop. My current laptop is too big and heavy for travel, so I was in the market for a more travel-friendly gaming laptop without sacrificing performance. I have been impressed with Asus ROG Zephyrus laptops in the past and wanted to give the G14 a try. Display The OLED display was crystal clear. The picture during gaming was amazing and I was able to run at high FPS without performance issues. Sound I was surprised by the clear audio and deep bass from the speakers. I normally use headphones when gaming, but the sound was clear enough to enjoy music without them. Performance I could play any of my games on this laptop. It is truly a beast in a small package. However, since it is a smaller laptop, I did notice that the laptop would get warm, and the fan was noticeably loud during intense use. Battery Since most gaming laptops are power-hungry, I was not surprised when I was reaching for the charger after a little over an hour of use. The laptop does come with a proprietary 200-watt battery charger but can be charged with a 100-watt USB-C charger as well. I would recommend this laptop for on-the-go gaming and general use. It is a very capable machine and will be able to serve my needs for years to come.

Good performance uplift from my 2024 RTX 4070 G14 - 20% in most games and benchmarks. Great build quality and display, it's amazing they can fit so much in such a small and thin chassis. A little thicker and heavier compared to the 2024 model but that isn't surprising with a more powerful GPU.

Excellant product no issues out of box and works perfectly for what i use it for, the many options for preformance are very helpful.

Great laptop would definitely recommend for work and play.
