Genuinely a great laptop. I'm able to run games that take up a lot of space and have graphics set to high and above. Easy to customize the lighting on the keyboard and slash. It's small enough that I can fit it in nearly any bag I use regularly

Incredible display, and very capable gaming rig. My only complaint is soldered RAM. But, 16GB is 'good enough' considering the sale price I was able to secure. If you're looking for a capable, small footprint, gaming laptop with an incredible display, this is the your best choice in this price range, period.

ASUS ROG G14 with RTX 4060: Portable Powerhouse

It's a great little laptop. Its pricier then many similarly specked laptops, but it shows it's worth in regards to screen quality, battery life, and quality feel. I've been a mostly desktop gamer in the last 10 years, my previous Laptop was a great MSI Stealth with a RTX 2080M and this laptop with a RTX4060M is superior in every way. The features on the 40 series cards are impressive. The screen is the best part though, even on some games that are more taxing, you can drop the resolution to 1900x1200p and it almost looks native, still sharp! Overall, very happy to have this as a gaming laptop

This laptop is a powerhouse packed in a small, lightweight package. I bought this one because my last laptop died on me, and I needed an affordable replacement right away for work. This machine has been been able to handle everything that I’ve thrown at it. I play a lot of video games, and it has been able to run pretty much everything I’ve tried so far. The display is also super clear and bright, and is almost as good as an oled screen. I was also very impressed by how loud and clear the speakers are! This thing can probably outperform laptops that cost twice as much.

Excellent Gaming Laptop, Lightweight laptop, quick processing with great graphics. Battery lasts a couple of hours when gaming and not plugged in. When not gaming, battery life can last 6 hours or more depending on battery saving settings. The speakers on this laptop are also phenomenal, great sound quality.
11/10 recommend, this laptop is tremendous.

I honestly think if you are looking for a smaller gaming laptop... this is it. you can also put it in battery save mode and I have gotten close to 12 hrs of microsoft office use out of it on 1 charge. I really wish they had a 32 gb ram option with the 4060

Amazing l, using it for school work, and is great so far, one thing since it’s a gaming laptop it does over heat, that’s one of my concerns but so far everything good, it responds fast when searching things up, the graphics are amazing for it to be a slim laptop, very portable and comfy to walk around school, it’s not heavy and has this cool feature in the back that it starts to blink when ever the battery dies, cool tbh

Gorgious screen, great sound, amazing gaming performance. I like the subtle profile, does not scream "GAMING LAPTOP" is your face, can easily pass as a profesdional work laptop...and that's until the loud fan kicks in....Battery life 6-7 hours, gets uncomfortably got in your lap just browsing the internet and watching youtube...Fan noise is very noticeable even on silent mode...While gaming: Fan is too loud to enjoy the game unless you wear noise cancelling headphones...battery dies in 1 hour...you watch battery life like a countdown. Get a gaming desktop and a Switch for the same price...

Solid Gaming Laptop, Runs Hot

I sought out a lightly used G14 from 2023 since you can add 1 SO-DIMM to expand memory capacity. I also tried out a 2024 model with soldered memory. Beautiful OLED displays, segment-leading performance, highly recommend uninstalling the Asus software for GHelper. My biggest gripes with the Zephyrus lineup is how hot and loud they run (keyboard gets too hot to the touch) and they're a bit too flashy looking. LEDs on the lid are a bit much. If I didn't want a touchscreen, I'd look for a lightly used 2023 model for under $900.

I purchased G14 recently from best buy. Overall the build quality , aesthetics and battery life was excellent. i have tested it using several benchmark tools and found out that ryzen 9 8945hs is almost on par with i9 185h meteor lake processor.
However having said , i found out that there is serious system stability issues in asus software (firmware, software that used to control the processor, GPU called armory crate) . Each time i used to kept the armory crate running , i used to get random blue screens (BSOD) with various kernel system msg and system will reboot. i believe the drivers are not compatible with armory crate and has a conflict with either one of them. If asus can address that issue , its going to be remarkable laptop with no other issues to complain about.
The screen with oled 3k and sound quality was excellent too. due to frequent blue screens unfortunately i decided to return the unit .

Awesome laptop with a great screen and speakers

I have been using this laptop for about 9 months now after switching from a 2015 MacBook Pro, and I have really enjoyed it. I mostly use it for light gaming, browsing the web, and streaming music, shows, and movies. It handles all of that really well.
The screen is beautiful with vibrant colors and sharp detail. The speakers completely blew me away. They sound way better than what I expected from a laptop this size.
The keyboard is very comfortable for typing, and the trackpad feels solid and responsive. It is not quite on the level of the MacBook trackpad, but still very good.
Battery life has been pretty solid. I usually get around 7-8 hours of mixed use while using Silent mode. The laptop gets a little warm near the top center of the keyboard during moderate use, but the fan stays quiet which is nice.
If I had to mention one small issue, I do wish the screen could tilt back a bit more. It has not been a big deal for me though.
Overall, this is a thin and lightweight laptop that feels well-built and works great for everyday use. I am very happy with it and would definitely recommend it.

The closest to a Windows MacBook Pro akternative. The oled screen is superior to the MBP’s. Will run games on native resolution but it does run on the warm side.

The model I got is the base model of this laptop that comes with an RTX 4060 with 1Tb SSD. However, even when this is the base model, I have been loving this machine the day I got it. It is powerful enough to run most games at high framerate, and portable enough to bring around every where I go. Asus did a great job with the design aspect because unlike other gaming laptop; I would say that this laptop looks way more formal to bring around without looking like you are a hardcore gamer. I absolutely think that this laptop is worth it for people who constantly use high performance task. However, if you are someone looking to get a laptop with long battery life (like a Macbook) and don’t care too much about battery life. This laptop is not for you as you should be looking at Macbook or the new Intel Lunar Lake laptops. This is not to be used without its power adapter for long period of time.
