Customer Ratings & Reviews

Portable gaming beast. I love the OLED screen in such a portable size. It is indeed quick at doing most tasks. The one thing I deducted a star for was it does overheat while playing extensive gaming. At one point the game I was playing froze. It gets very hot so may need a laptop cooler. Oterwise very happy and better value on sale vs others in it's class.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent This laptop is fast, powerful, and has an absolutely stunning 3K OLED screen. The Ryzen 9 and RTX 4060 handle gaming and multitasking with no issues, and it’s lightweight enough to carry anywhere. Great performance, great display, and solid battery life. Highly recommend!

I exchanged the GTX 4060 version of this laptop for the 2025 GTX 5060 version during my return window, since the latter went on sale for $450 off. This laptop is everything I said below, but even more powerful in the graphics department. It does have a little larger wattage charger, and the GTX 5060 version (this computer) dosn't have the engergy star rating sticker like the 4060 version because it is a bit more power hungry. I always use this laptop plugged in, and mostly in hotels, so I don't mind the extra power usage. Otherwise everything from the review below still applies to this computer since they are exactly the same form factor. Original review below... I bought this laptop specifically for video editing on the road. I wanted something ultra portable, similar to a Macbook, but for PC. This laptop is beautiful! Its super thin, but has a sturdy aluminum build. I am running Davinci Resolve video editing software and it runs great. This allows me to do my editing in hotel rooms while I'm on the road. I do carry a plastic laptop pad that allows me to use it in the hotel bed without blocking any of the vents. For fun I installed project cars from my steam library to see how it would run. It runs butter smooth on high graphics settings. The OLED screen is gorgeous as well. I'm so happy with this laptop purchase.

What got me excited I’ve been a big fan of ASUS laptops for a while now. What I’m expecting I’m expecting a great gaming experience that also doubles as my daily laptop for business and some media consumption. What’s included in the packaging? Out of the box you get two smaller boxes. One has the laptop and inserts, and the other has the power adaptor. My first impressions First, I was surprised by two things. It’s pretty light. I guess with a 14 inch laptop, it’s going to be lighter than its bigger brother. Second, despite its light weight, it’s got a nice hefty feeling to it. Let’s try it out Right off the bat, there are certain limitations that you will encounter trying to play modern games in ultra settings using a RTX 5060. Let’s get this out of the way, 4K gaming is not really a good option with this laptop. Unless you don’t care about framerate. If you like playing at 1080p or 1440p with ultra settings, then this should work nicely. The keyboard is fantastic to type on. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the keys on the keyboard seem larger than on others. The trackpad is also quite large and responsive. I love laptops don’t aren’t fingerprint machines, and G14 fits the bill. The finish also feels great. This is the first laptop I’ve seen that has an airplane mode button on it. Weird. The G14 has a great hinge. When you lift the screen, there’s a little wiggling, but it’s minor. The one feature I wish all companies would adopt is having a dedicated volume and mic mute keys like the G14. It’s cumbersome having to fit the FN (Function) button and whichever top row button corresponds to it. Keep it simple I say. Like with most of my reviews, I like to use a 7 year old game. At the time of its release, it was a graphic heavy game. It still looks great to this day. I just use it because it only uses 67 GB of total storage, so not much downloading. I played it on ultra with the 120hz screen. It looked great. I ran a benchmark test, and it actually performed better than one of my other laptops that has 32 GB of ram, and a RTX 4070. Now let me be clear about this, when I say it ran better, it’s not by leaps and bounds, but a small numeric value. Still, a win is a win. During my gameplay, I didn’t see any stuttering, major frame drops, and everything looked fluid with the 120hz refresh rate. During my test, I forgot that it had a 3K OLED screen. I was reminded when I started watching some video clips and my default setting was 4K with 120 fps. I do love me some OLED. The audio sounds pretty good. I was playing the game with the volume set on 32 and I was surprised by how great it sounded. I raised it to 100 and was awed by how awesome it sounded. If you’re not playing a multiplayer game that requires a headset and mic, then I would say just use the speakers. There are two things I always dread when I’m out in public and I try to game on a laptop. One is the noise and the other is the heat. I’m glad to say that even at high level gaming, the laptop never reaches heater levels. It does get warm, but nothing that creates an uncomfortable situation. You also don’t hear jet plane engines when gaming. You do hear the fans going, but nothing that will draw attention your way at a café. I actually enjoyed using the G14 as my everyday laptop. From checking emails in the morning, to doing some work, some gaming, and closing out the night with a movie, it hit all the notes. What stood out that was positive The whole experience using the laptop was pretty positive. If I had to a choose one standout feature, it would be the finish and material of the laptop itself. It looks sleek, and doesn’t scream that it’s a gaming monitor. It does have that diagonal line that lights up. You can play with options on how it behaves, or just turn it off. I turned it off, so hopefully it saves some battery life. What stood out that was negative I still don’t understand why laptop manufacturers are utilizing proprietary power adaptors for their gaming laptops. The G14 has 2 USB-C ports; both can charge the laptop, provided you have an extra high wattage USB-C charger lying around somewhere. ASUS could remove the proprietary charger on the motherboard and just include a 3rd USB-C port. (I am saying all of this without really understanding how difficult this may be. Plus, maybe USB-C charging isn’t as efficient yet). Some things I wish (What can be included in the next version and what I would take out) I hope that ASUS and other laptop manufacturers include whatever proprietary plug they want, AND a USB-C charger. This way one could be kept at home and the other more portable USB-C based charger can be taken on the go. I think adding $100-150 to the MSRP would be worth it. Who is this targeted at? This is targeted at the casual gamer and the hardcore gamer. As long as you’re not expecting top of the line features, then this is a great laptop. All in all The G14 is a great 14 inch laptop. The build quality of the laptop is superb, the OLED screen is bright and beautiful. The RTX 5060 isn’t the strongest GPU by any means, but for those who just want to game and don’t need to play games at 4K, with ultra settings, then this laptop will do the job. If you’re looking for a great everyday use laptop that also happens to be a great gaming machine, then you can’t go wrong with this laptop.

I really wanted the ASUS ROG G14. Before buying it, I watched many YouTube reviews and read a lot of user comments, and my expectations were very high. The design, performance on paper, and portability all looked perfect for my needs. However, after using it, I started experiencing the “Your system ran into a problem” (blue screen) issue. After researching, it seems this is a fairly common problem among ASUS ROG users, especially related to how the CPU and GPU don’t always coexist smoothly. Because of this, I exchanged the laptop, hoping the issue was just a defective unit. Unfortunately, the same problem happened again on the replacement. Now I’m within the return period (until January 15), and I’m honestly conflicted. My expectations were very high at the beginning, and when it works, the laptop feels powerful and well-designed. But system crashes on a new, premium laptop are very frustrating and make it hard to fully trust it for daily or professional use. I think the ROG G14 has great potential, but ASUS really needs to address this stability issue. I’m still deciding whether to keep it or return it, which is disappointing considering how excited I was before purchasing.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus 14G is an interesting laptop. Touted by Asus as a gaming laptop (Well the ROG says it all), for the unfamiliar it looks more like a business laptop. First, its only 14” so it it’s not exactly the screen size your typical gamer would look for. And for whatever reason smaller screen sizes tend to be higher priced. This laptop has a 3K OLED screen which is fine but personally I would settle for 1080p for gaming (But the processor can negate things but more on that later.) That said, everything is negated if you have an external monitor. Since I mentioned it looks like a business laptop, I’d say it really is. It is white and has a slim form factor and given its smaller screen, it looks more like it’s a competitor to the Mac Book Air. It is whitish silver and the only indication that it is a gaming laptop aside from its branding is the lighted strip on the outer panel. On the left side of the panel is a proprietary charging port, an HDMI port, a USB4/Power Delivery combo port and a headphone jack. On the other side is a micro SD card slot, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type B port snd a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C DisplayPort and Power Delivery combo port. There is no ethernet port available and you would need a port extender to add ethernet capabilities. The internals of this PC are something else. As mentioned earlier this laptop has an OLED screen which is 3K. Its speakers are decent enough that is has some depth to its sound and those tinny sound you get from laptops. It has 16GB of RAM installed. One thing though is I cannot figure out what type of RAM is installed as Windows, Speccy and Crucial.com cannot determine what type of RAM is installed. So for now 16GB should suffice for most uses. It has a 1TB SSD installed which is sufficient to install most games. It is powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 730 which is blazing fast. To top that is that this laptop is also equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 5060 GPU. Now again this is touted as a gaming laptop. But aside from its form factor, there are a couple of things not highlighted namely that the CPU has an integrated NPU and the NVDIA RTX 5060 is labeled as a studio driving meaning it is not only game ready but also designed for creative purposes. As such I have installed a copy of Adobe’s Creative Suite to test out Photoshop and Lightroom as the studio driver of NVIDIA supports Adobe. By doing so, I could test out AI denoise functionality of Lightroom and Photoshop at the same time its photo processing capabilities. Needless to say it leaves my older GTX 1650 graphics enabled computer to dust. Unfortunately, I don’t have Da Vinci Resolve installed yet so I cannot comment on how this performs regarding video rendering but safe to say that it is expected that it would be fast. Also, it has CapCut pre-installed meaning to say that this is also a laptop for creatives. And lastly, while there are no specs given for battery life, Windows estimates that it can last up to nine hours with casual use. Depending on what you do, your mileage may vary. This is a high recommend!

This laptop is a beast. The Ryzen 9 and RTX 5060 combo handles everything I throw at it—gaming, editing, multitasking—with zero lag. The OLED 3K display is stunning, and the 120Hz refresh rate makes gameplay buttery smooth. Lightweight, premium build, and surprisingly quiet. Worth every penny.

This laptop is small, and it is powerful. Battery life is great, it's around 7 hours on simple use (if you use Eco mode) if you don't go above a 5070ti even at this size you still get the same performance of bigger laptops, it is very portable so it is great for work. The speakers on this laptop surprised me, they sound amazing, for the first time I don't feel forced to use headphones. It does have some software issues tho, hince why I took out one star, luckily there are fixes online, and using Ghelper helps with those issues too. The screen, holy cow it's the best screen you'll ever see on a laptop, it is beautiful. Overall very good device, glad the worker brought the wrong laptop on accident

Excellent gaming and productivity laptop. Runs all games without issues, currently enjoying Doom the Dark Ages at 1200p, Medium Settings, DLSS Quality, and 2x FrameGen getting 120FPS to max out the display. Also played the Alters and got around 45-60fps at native resolution with DLSS Quality. 8GB VRAM is enough for now. Using a USB-C charger, the GPU is limited to 55 watts or so (compared to 70 watts performance mode AC adapter) which is actually good enough for gaming as well. Fan noise is actually reasonable in default Performance mode. Turbo mode (GPU goes up to 90 watts) is quite loud, I don't use it unless wearing headphones and nobody around you to disturb. TimeSpy Graphics score in Performance mode 10,046 and Turbo mode 11,270 so you do lose ~10%. For productivity, no issues handling daily office workload. Get around 5-6 hours of battery life: not bad, not great. Ryzen 9 processor fast enough to handle anything. Fans do kick on if you're looking at complex web pages but it's pretty quiet so not disturbing. Overall highly recommended. Very portable and lightweight for a gaming laptop and good gaming performance.

I’m absolutely blown away by the performance of this laptop! From the moment I unboxed it, everything felt premium — the sleek design, sturdy build, and vibrant display make it stand out right away. When it comes to gaming, this machine doesn’t disappoint. I’ve tested several demanding titles, and thanks to the NVIDIA GeForce graphics and high refresh rate display, gameplay is buttery smooth with zero stuttering or overheating issues. Multitasking is a breeze too — I can stream, edit videos, and run multiple apps without any slowdown. Battery life is surprisingly solid for a gaming laptop. I can easily get through hours of productivity and casual browsing, and when I’m gaming, the fast charging brings it back up quickly. The cooling system is also impressive — it stays quiet and keeps the laptop running efficiently even during long sessions. If you want a laptop that balances power, speed, and style, this is hands-down one of the best options out there. Highly recommended!

I purchased this laptop to meet my gaming needs when traveling and I must say it does that quite well. 16gb of ram is enough for the vast majority of games and the rtx5060 performs well in this build (can’t wait to see what it does with DLSS 4.5). I keep the laptop at 1080p for most uses because on a 14” screen it doesn’t make that much of a difference but preserves battery life meaning I can squeeze out a couple more hours. One change from the previous g14 that I am extremely pleased with is the new styling of the Zephyrus with the aluminum chassis and premium details. All this being said purchased it open-box (excellent condition) for about $1100 and it was on sale for $1500 at the time. I think the original $1800 pricetag is a bit steep of a price to pay for only 16gb of ram.

This is probably the best slim gaming laptop for those who don’t want something that looks overly “gamer.” It strikes a perfect balance—sleek, professional design while still packing serious power under the hood. Out of the box, it does run a bit hot, but that’s easily managed. By tweaking the performance profile with G Helper, I was able to cap both CPU and GPU temperatures at 75°C without sacrificing performance. Tools like G Helper or Asus Armoury Crate make it simple to fine-tune the balance between thermals and power. Overall, I have no real complaints with this laptop. Some people criticize the temperatures, but with a little profile optimization, those concerns are a non-issue. For me, this is hands-down one of the best slim gaming laptops available today.

This gaming laptop from ASUS is compact, powerful, and full of excellent features. While I typically prefer Chromebooks for day to day activities such as email, web browsing, etc, you can't beat the power of a Windows PC with a high end graphics card like this model. Pros: - Set up was pretty quick and painless. Windows set-up years ago used to take an hour or more but I was up and running in about 15 minutes with all Windows updates installed. The speed of using a solid state drive certainly helps with all of this. - The RTX 5060 graphics card was more than powerful enough for me to play my favorite games on Steam. And the 120Hz refresh rate made for a beautiful and smooth gaming experience. - The Armoury Crate is a terrific feature that allows you to access the performance dashboard of the laptop with a single button press. You can use presets to place it in several modes including silent, performance, and turbo. Lighting features can be toggles easily. And those features are just the start. There is so much to explore. - The size of this laptop is incredible considering how much power it has. The small form factor makes it ultra portable. - The speed at which any task is performed on this device is mind-blowing. You do not need to worry about multitasking as the G14 can handle anything I was throwing at it. Cons: - I would love to see a 2TB solid state drive on this model, rather than the 1TB that is included. That space fills up quick for gamers. - The default back-lit keyboard settings had colors rotating and it was tough for me to make out the keys when they were certain colors. One of the first things I did was set the keyboard to a static color that worked well for me. This laptop is powerful, portable, has a beautiful aesthetic, and will make anyone shopping for a high end gaming laptop a very happy person.

Well. darn it all. ASUS is on a roll. The Zephyrus series is running things in the laptop gaming industry, without any need for buffers or enhancements. No CAP gang (as they say in the streets) I've heard great things about the G14 and I'm kind of shocked that they were pretty spot on with how they've taken the Zephyrus brand and created a beast. With the new AMD Ryzen 9 and the GEFORCE RTX 5060, this is the starter PC that rivals some of last GEN's PCs and I would even go so far as to say that your gaming console may be in jeopardy of being replaced. The OLED screen gives off an amazing 2.5K visual and you'll find your blacks looks so black that you'd think your eyes were closed. I really can't think of any reason as to why you should get this PC, other than hearing that you've already procured a 2024 Zephyrus series laptop. I've been rocking a ROG Zephyrus G16 with an RTX 4070 for a few months, and I've found it very difficult to go over to my desktop to stream. But I've gotta do what I've gotta do. The Ammo Crate is still a hindrance as far as performance clocking, but it still gives off an amazing gaming experience. The aluminum chassis does get quite warm during extended play or whenever this is really not an issue as this unit will play whatever you throw at and play it well (Just make sure that it's elevated so it can breathe.) and you won't have much of an issue.). The speakers are the best in the laptop game. The base is deep, and the highs are so crisp. Possibly too crisp for a laptop. If you happen to upgrade from the previous Zephyrus series, you'll find that the power source is the same and they mesh perfectly. These PCs are twins from the last generation. So, if you don't tell them, they'll never know you've upgraded. 1 HDMI port. 1 USB-A and 2 type C ports. A headphone(3.2mm) and a micro SD slot. That's all you'll need. Getcha one.

The small size and light weight makes this laptop easy to pack up and carry. This is my first OLED screen and visually it is amazing! The compact keyboard has been hard for my fingers to adjust to, but the light up keyboard has been great to have when using in low light. It’s only been a couple uses and I haven’t used it for game play. I got it specifically for the processing speed and quality screen for graphic design. It opens programs and files in seconds, that took minutes with my old slow computer. It does get hot. Mainly when plugged in it gets hot. The battery lasts so long that I haven’t had to worry about being near an outlet to plug it in. So far I’m happy with this laptop.

I bought it for video editing. I'm using DaVinci Resolve, so far, it can handle my editing. but You really need another application called g helper if you want this computer to work out. So far it is ok Not too much but it is definitly a piece of art compared to other gaming laptops. IT is small and powerful, plus it is quiet very helpful when you are around the ladies and you don't wanna seem like a nerdy gaming person. so definitely very beautiful machine so far for me

Nice build, good battery life, easy to carry around. But, high pitched fan noise showed up with specific RPM. You can mitigate this through G-helper by adjusting the RPM of fans. But still, the noise occasionally shows up. I have had two of the same model with same issue. If you are not sensitive to high-pitched noise then it is a good choice.

I have been eyeing this item for awhile. and not going to lie this is all that i expected from this item and more. Very lightweight and versatile machine. Sleep and elegant design and feel to it as well.

I upgraded from an older Rog Strix G-15 and all I can say is I absolutely love this new laptop. With that said, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. I went through three different units before I found one that wasn’t defective. What I mean by defective is that it had a very obvious issue of the clock speed being stuck at 180 MHz and preventing the dedicated GPU from boosting correctly. There are ways to get around this by doing this and that, but for the price I paid I shouldn’t need to jump through hoops to make it work. So came the dreaded return and exchange process (three times) but now I finally have a unit that works. Now it is all rainbows and butterflies - but - just don’t touch the area under the speakers because it gets extremely hot and you can basically fry an egg on it. I haven’t had it long enough to notice any major issues with it. For the short time that I’ve had it, I’ve been very happy with it and the OLED screen has been a game changer for me.

Super nice laptop. Great design, love the lightweight, has performed well so far.
