Great, but no support for USB C hubs
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to return the first one due to USB C charging issues. The replacement has been wonderful so far. One observation so far is that it does not play well with USB C power delivery hubs or PD charger based hubs. It blocks out the power signals if you’ve set the laptop to stop charging at 80 % (as suggested for longer battery life). This in turn blocks signals from connected devices like monitors and usb keyboards. I’m sure this is an easy software fix for Asus, but Id imagine someone must have mentioned using the laptop with a USB C hub that centralized power delivery and accessory use cases. For now, I’ve connected the traditional brick charger and the usb c hubs just sports accessories. Never had a problem since.

Runs warm
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A VERY powerful laptop but if you do a lot of gaming I recommend one of those laptop stands with fans that cool the laptops. Definitely never sit this on your lap without a hard placemat under you.

Good laptop
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good laptop. Super quick and great for games. I like that it does not have a webcam. The screen is the best part because it goes all the way to the edge so it feels big. Best laptop keyboard too.

The best bang for the buck laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop has the most power you can get in a thin chassis, can handle anything you throw at it, the Ryzen processor is awesome, especially when boost clocks are adjusted, and the RTX 2060 is no slouch either.

Best laptop I've owned, but only after you fix it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop is great, as it gets desktop speed on 10 hours battery life and is cheaper than what most other competitive laptops are. However I spent many nights fiddling around with he settings on the laptop as out of the box it only allowed me to get around 6 hours battery life on idle. After installing the newest drivers, uninstalling game first and setting the rtx 2060 to only turn on when I play a game, I was able to get 10ish hours of battery life with mutiple tabs open writing in google docs. Highly recommend for work or play, it can handle both very well.

Gaming on the Go
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old laptop couldn't keep up anymore, so I upgraded to this - the ROG Zephyrus G14 14", and I never looked back. As an amateur photographer, it's nice to have photo editing applications work quickly and remain responsive while working on a laptop. As a gamer, it's nice to have performance on par with a desktop when I'm on the go. The battery life is more than adequate, lasting between a couple hours of light gaming, and several more than that for general web browsing, etc. It's light, the cooling is good (But I recommend not putting it on your lap while gaming, it gets pretty warm) My only real complaint is that the keyboard heats up quite a bit after longer gaming sessions. Otherwise, This is perfect.

Fastest 14inch gaming laptop
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Laptop is pretty light. I think it’s the fastest 14inch gaming laptop on the market, as well the price is reasonable. Will update my review, if something comes up in the long-term ownership review!

Love-Hate Relationship
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to love this laptop. This is my first gaming PC but I didn't purchase it to game specifically. I shoot video and wanted something that could handle editing 6K footage and i checked and researched the specs and this thing on paper killed the Mac M1 pro version so I went ahead with this. I was able to playback and edit my footage but I was unable to export and the computer was running in the 90s+ constantly which made me very concerned. I planned to take it back and get something else but i had to finish a project to meet a deadline and ordered a desktop so i could hurry up and give the product to the client. I took this computer into Geek Squad so many times. The bluetooth magcally dissapeared from the device and after and month and some change, came back on. Then the next month the keyboard started not reading all of the inputs along with the touchpad. I assume this could be potentially from the very high temperatures. Geek Squad was telling me that they have heard a lot of reports from this computer running hot and said that it is most likley from the ryzen 9 chip which is the "beffiest" CPU that could be put into a laptop of this size. I would say, if you plan on doing 6k video editing or very intense gaming where the CPU is running high for over 20 minutes, to steer away and get something with a lighter cpu like Ryzen 7 and a beefier GPU like a 3070 in it. The temperature I feel have caused this computers problems. when it is not hot it runs like a champ and is extremely responsive and quick. It's an absolute love-hate relationship. One recommendation is to edit the power plans for each of the selected power options that are in Armoury Crate and change processing speed to 15% for minimum and 90% for max on silent or performance mode at least to get the temps down moderately and change the plans from aggressive to your liking. Experiment with it. Get something that will elevate it off ta surface like a cooling pad. Other than all that, I still have it so take this as you will.

Gaming Laptop for a indie dev.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i got this computer a week ago on feb 16. everything has run very well on this computer. i do indie game development, and run unreal engine 4 with no issue, and no lag, and play my normal games fine with excellent speed. but here lies the problem with my laptop. the audio it self pop and video stutter every so often and all the driver were updated and hard reset but ASUS themselves. Asus, explain to me to exchange or replace it as i may have a faulty laptop, unfortunately. It started happening after i threw the box out and hoping best buy will take it back for an exchange and possibly can get something close to this specs in the store for a decent price.

Little Powerhouse
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is stellar. Coming from a used Dell G7, this was not only a sizeable performance upgrade, but one in a smaller form factor that is so portable. Extremely satisfied with this purchase.

This Laptop is Warming Up Way too Fast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the most part, I am relatively satisfied by it so far, but the fans don't seem to be doing a great job of keeping the laptop cool. My old laptop has been running a few games next to me as I set up the G14 and my old laptop is currently cooler (with no fan running) than the G14 which is very warm under my palms and has audible fan noises. As others have mentioned, the backlighting on the keyboard makes the letters illegible. Will update as time passes, but my initial impression of this laptop is that its a bit of a disappointment for the price so far.
