I previously owned G14 2022 version, this new 2024 one surprised me how much better it is especially the thermal.
The new OLED screen is beautiful but it's overkill for my usecase since it's a 3k resolution.
The speaker blown me away, I'm surprised how loud and the base is very good for this size of a laptop.
Battery however have a noticable shorter lifespan compared to my old G14 2022 version, about 6-7 hours normal usecase, Probably because of the OLED screen.

I believe this is a well specc'ed device. Hardware components are soldered. With that being said:
Excellent blend of both performance and portability worlds. Extremely premium build quality.
OEM charger for gaming and demanding tasks. Can use USB-c charging @100W for portability and versatility.
g-Helper is a very powerful tool that can replace armory crate and myAsus. Can stay cool when setting adjusted with low fan use. Almost necessary to refine experience, improved on ASUS OEM software, easy tuning, no permanent changes.
Comparable to Macbook Pro power and build quality.
Can be used as a light weight computer, MBA comparable, comfortable on lap, not hot, when settings adjusted. Used g-Helper.
Can get very hot and loud when extended or demanding gaming; recommend cooling pad and HDMI cable. Max temp 94deg at GPU hotspot during extended gaming sessions. Keyboard and palm rest will stay relatively not hot.
Can play Palworld on high with 50FPS. Unlikely to perform well for the newest, most demanding AAA games. G14 4060 is not designed for high end gaming. But rather the jack-of-all-trades. HTPC-midrange gaming-emails and word processing-studying-basic lightroom usage-basic productivity software-etc.
Consider 4070, 32gb for specific use case only and if its worth the extra $400 (when 4070 on sale). 4070 has vapor cooling so slightly less noisy. All others specs exactly the same. Recommend larger laptop or desktop for more power if needed.
Personally prefer G14 over Zenbook 14X and 14.
G14 is a powerful multi-tasking-oriented playful productivity device. It is not a purpose built $4000+ desktop. Would not recommend for someone looking for a purpose build device for large video/raw footage processing or professional/competitive gaming.
**Would recommend to anyone looking for a high end multipurpose machine that can handle the vast majority of required computer tasking, including moderate gaming. Would recommend to everyone I know.

Powerful machine in minimalist design. The colour is not actually white, it's a bit more silver. The screen is great, with OLED panel. I actually not a gamer but I love its slim and clean design. The thing I wish it could have are, prt screen button and USB 4.0 on the right(the present one is 3.2). Overall it's great buying.

I can run Helldivers 2 at 60fps 1080p… on a laptop as big as a Chromebook… FOR A PRICE AS GREAT AS THIS…
I’m sorry but this laptop is incredible. My only regret is getting this version of it.
Even if you just want it for gaming, get the version with 32gb of ram. You’ll end up wanting it for running Discord and Spotify on the side. It’s not a dealbreaker though. This laptop is incredible if you make good use of the 16gb of ram.
This laptop is perfect for the average traveling gamer like me. It’s so slim and stylish.
Tip for after you purchase:
Delete Armory Crate and install GHelper. It’s a replacement where you can limit the heat of your system and adjust when fans kick in more or less. YOU WILL WANT THIS.

AMD Display driver issues and Bluetooth driver iss

Overall it was a good deal in 1300 when I bought it in December 2024.
The main issue is Asus and AMD drivers. For me the Bluetooth and Display drivers created a big problem.
For Bluetooth, I was having issues connecting it to the Bluetooth devices like mouse, game contoller, Bluetooth speakers or headphones. Even if it is connected to Bluetooth, it would not show up as external input or output devices and would not function at all.
I tried troubleshooting and reinstalling. Tried many options available online and reddit like changing settings in Armory crate and installed AMD Software Adrinaline. The only way for me to use the laptop display was to run the display on external GPU i.e. Nvidia or else the display will be crashed so I had to use external display in that case. While searching online I saw that display crash similar to my case with many other people with same laptop, where it seems the colors are high contrast or seems washed out. I am thinking to return or replace the laptop from Asus warranty.

Slim form factor, usb type c power cord would’ve been nice to have instead of their proprietary port. Battery life has seemed great so far for basic tasks. Battery life for gaming of course is to be expected to last a little over an hour or so. Good deal when there is sales going on for it

I was going to go for a M3 Pro Macbook Pro for video editing but I saw this laptop on sale. So far its been a great experience with this laptop. It does great with video editing and also lets me game. Best of both worlds packed in a slim laptop. Best purchase I've made in a while and I'm so glad I got this laptop instead of the MacBook.

When I first laid my eyes upon the Asus Zephyus G14 (2024) on Best Buy's website, I was excited by its stand-out design to where I had to get this. What I didn't expect was just how good of a gaming laptop it would be and how lightweight and aesthetically pleasing it is having it in front of me and touching it.
First off I will name off the few cons:
The laptop is the memory is soldered, meaning you won't be able to upgrade it down the line, but I believe at the current moment, its because LPDDR5X is only available as soldered chips, meaning they will not be upgradable. Until more memory manufacturers start making memory using the new CAMM format, it will be like this for a while and given the form factor and the aluminum material, it does get hot at times.
Another thing I noticed is there is a bit of wobble on the screen and lid but really with how thin it is, its to be expected and its not a flaw in my opinion. Also the vents being under the laptop is better instead of blowing up towards the screen, possibly damaging the screen, however, for lap usage, the vents can easily be blocked, I would of liked it it was possible to have the vents on each side.
But if your looking for a stylish and compact gaming laptop that you can also bring into an office, the Asus Zephyrus G14 (2024) is it. Honestly, you don't even have to be a gamer. It's a great all-around laptop for people that want both power and portability.
On to the positive review!
Asus targets for "beyond gamers", and it shows. It's aimed at video editors, creators, programmers, and more. I believe they are targeting casual users that just want power in a slim, portable, and stylish package.
I love this style of gaming laptop. It's subtle and sleek, made from CNC-machined aluminum and coming in a color called Platinum White. At 3.3 pounds and 16.3mm thick, it's hard to even believe that this is a gaming laptop at all, but it is.
What amazes me is the sound on this thing when first listening to something, it really packs a punch with how loud and crisp it is! It also feels a bit like a MacBook Pro, if you're into that sort of thing, and it's got the power to back it up. It's flat on all sides with rounded corners.
On the left side, you'll find a redesigned proprietary charging port, which is meant to be more compact. There's also HDMI 2.1, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, Thunderbolt 4, and an audio jack. On the right side, you'll find a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, and a microSD card reader.
Any USB 3.2 Gen 2 port should get you 10Gbps data transfer speeds, which is nice, but what's really great is that both of the USB Type-C ports support 100W power delivery charging. The good news is that in a pinch, you can grab any standard laptop charger and use it. The bad news is that it doesn't charge nearly as fast as the regular charging port.
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) has a 14-inch 120Hz 2880x1800 display, which is pretty great. OLED hits that sweet spot of color vibrancy, making your games look beautiful while you're playing them. The 120Hz refresh rate just adds to that.
Above the screen is a 1080p webcam, which is great for anything from calls to live-streaming. The audio on this thing is pretty great as well, if you ever don't feel like wearing a headset.
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) comes with an RGB keyboard that's flanked by its two speakers. The default keyboard lighting uses more subtle colors, which seems to be common in white gaming laptops, as well as gaming laptops that are aimed at a broader range of customers.
Key travel is 1.7mm, with 1.7mm space between keys. Asus also says that the keys are 12.24% larger than on the previous generation model, which means better accuracy. Indeed, I'm typing this review on my unit, and it's super comfortable.
The touchpad takes advantage of the available real estate on the palm rest, stretching all the way from the base to the keyboard. Using maximum real estate for a larger touchpad is rare, and it's something I point out a lot in reviews, so this one is appreciated.
I did my game testing with Star Wars: Jedi Fallen, although I played a bunch of games just to see if the Zephyrus G14 would choke up (it didn't). The default setting it gave me was Extreme graphics, and my frame rate mostly stayed between 65fps and 70fps, with bursts of up to 90fps. It never dropped below that range.
I also ran a 3DMark and it scored exceptionally well for what this offers.
For my particular use case, the performance was perfect. Whether it's gaming, photo editing, or video editing, the ROG Zephyrus G14 was great. If you're a hardcore gamer, you're probably already looking for something with a more powerful CPU and GPU, and frankly, something bigger with better thermals. But this is the sweet spot for users that just need more power.
Battery life was really good up to around 8 hours from 100% to 1%. I actually found gaming performance to be pretty good even when not connected to power, but then again, if you're gaming, you should really connect to power anyway.
Here's the deal. With an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 under the hood, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) feels impossibly light at 3.3 pounds. If you want power and portability in a Windows laptop, this is it. With its subtle design, it makes a lot of sense for people that have a range of different tasks.
With everything mentioned, I would HIGHLY recommend this laptop for someone who is looking for a lightweight portable gaming and workstation for on the go.

Love it. It’s perfect for what I wanted it for and I love the sleek design and size of it. Battery life does go probably id say the same as my iPhone but I don’t care too much abt that cause I could have it plugged in and I don’t use it as often that constant.

Had the laptop for over a month now and my experience was nothing short of amazing. The laptop has performed well in everything I've thrown at it sometimes even blowing my expectations. I haven't had a chance to test out the battery life on it because everywhere I've been I have carried my charger around with me. I'd say the most amazing part about the laptop is it's display. The 3K OLED 120Hz display with HDR support really looks amazing, I kept it beside my M1 Pro MacBook and could tell the display on the Asus looked better. Another aspect no one talks about are the speakers, I was very surprised to see how loud they get while maintaining the bass. The speakers and display are definitely a few things about this laptop that no one talks about and are really that amazing.
