Best Oled Laptop I’ve ever seen in my life. The G14 is a powerhouse gaming laptop that blends portability with performance. It delivers excellent gaming and multitasking capabilities. The laptop's 14-inch QHD+ display with a high refresh rate ensures smooth visuals, while its compact design makes it ideal for on-the-go use. The addition of features like customizable RGB lighting and excellent thermal management further enhances the gaming experience. With its premium build quality and long battery life, the G14 is perfect for gamers and creators alike. I’m so happy with it.

Overall it's very nice, fast and compact with a great display and speakers. It's drawbacks are that you can't upgrade the ram and it runs hot while gaming, but that is to be expected for a compact machine. To fix 60% of the heat problem, I upgraded the bios, uninstalled Asus armory and installed G-helper in its place, and found a way to disable the boost on the cpu. To do that you have to change a single registry value to 2 to have the option, but it's easy to find a video online of how to do that if you are decent with tech (basically finding the correct one in an embedded menu).

An overall excellent ultraportable gaming laptop

In a nutshell: It's a Macbook Pro that can play games.
Build quality -
Excellent. Most of the laptop is aluminum, the keyboard is nicely spaced out and has good play on the keys. It's not the same as a mechanical board (which can be had on some Alienware laptops) but still very good. It feels like quality at all points where you will interact with the laptop. I have zero complaints with build quality. It's exceptional for the price.
Screen:
Near perfection. An OLED HDR panel that performs extremely well. This is the highlight of the laptop - the screen is superb. Perfect blacks (as you would expect) and contrast, and very bright. The HDR works well, also.
Gaming:
Better than expected. I can run CP2077, The Witcher 3, and WoW all at 60-100FPS on high settings. I did turn off ray tracing in Cyberpunk to keep the frames high, but overall the 4060 performs well. For anyone other than a true hardcore gamer, this will be more than enough. It plays all modern games with very few compromises.
Heat-
This is the biggest con. It's a small laptop with a lot of power. As a result, when gaming, it gets very hot. Very. Hot. NOW - to be fair to ASUS - they concentrated the heat to the top of the laptop's base. What that means is that the keyboard stays at a reasonable temperature. It's very usable.
However, it will blast your legs with very hot air. I recommend a cooling tray or some kind of buffer to keep your knees from melting.
Overall -
It's a great, portable, gaming laptop at a reasonable price point. I've been a desktop gamer for my whole life but some space constraints required me to minimize and I feel that this laptop is a good choice. I also appreciate that they didn't "gamerfy" the design with all sorts of lights and "cool" graphics. Instead there's a customizable lightbar on the back, which is perfect. I can take this to work or use while travelling very easily.
The last pro I'll mention is portability. It's the most portable gaming laptop I've handled. It is about 3lbs, will fit in most bags, and can be tossed around as easily as a macbook.

Serious Punch in a Small Package
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
--- SETUP ---
This laptop was quick and easy to set up. In the box, you get the laptop and the charger. Once you turn on the laptop, connect it to your WiFi and let it run through its updates. If this is replacing one of your previous Windows PCs, you can transfer settings from that PC to this new one. Additionally, you have the option to set it up as a new PC. This being a gaming laptop, it took me about 1 hour for all the updates, plus another hour to download the games I wanted to play.
--- FEATURES ---
AMD Ryzen 9 8000 series processor (for multitasking and editing software), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (Ray Tracing Capable), 16 gigabytes of RAM (for demanding games), 3 lbs, Windows 11, 3K resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, 8 cores, DLSS 3.5 support, facial recognition login, and 1 TB SSD.
--- EXPECTATIONS and PERFORMANCE ---
I take my gaming seriously and I am platform agnostic, which means I game wherever there is a fun game to be had. That being said, this gaming laptop packs some serious punch in a small package.
I downloaded single-player games that were released within the past 2 years to try this laptop first. The games I tried first were Starfield, Hogwarts, Resident Evil 4 Remake, A Plague: Tale Requiem, Diablo IV, and Cyberpunk DLC. These games are from either Steam or Xbox GamePass downloads and all are resource intensive at higher settings.
The first thing I noticed is that the screen isn’t HDR capable. To me, that is an acceptable trade-off for gaming on the go with Ray Tracing. All the games that I tested with this laptop worked great with few tweeks. For the most part, most games would auto-detect the best settings for my laptop. In Hogwarts, I just changed a few DLSS options so that it ran at a smooth 120 frames.
Perhaps the game that I became most engrossed in was Resident Evil 4. In the options menu, RE4 remake will show you your PC system specs. From there, I turned and played with the settings until I got what I wanted. I was able to play RE4 Remake with cutscenes running at the highest resolution, my gaming at 3K, with ray tracing, and a variable 120Hz. Another game that was great to play was Starfield. On PC, Starfield now supports NVIDIA’s DLSS technology. This makes it so that you can have settings that would normally be resource intensive not be as heavy through the use of AI. Starfield looks like a completely different game when playing at 120FPS. To top it off, the laptop has 6 speakers that sound very good for a gaming laptop if you don’t have gaming headphones with you.
Any gaming setup requires a lighted keyboard. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus comes with a backlit keyboard that changes colors and a backlit panel that makes your gaming sessions look stylish. The volume control buttons being separate from the rest of the keyboard is very handy when you need to do a quick volume adjustment. Speaking of volume, the fans to cool the laptop are noticeable during quiet parts of gaming, but you otherwise won’t notice them.
--- APPROVAL ---
With the portability due to size, a nice 3K screen, and a powerful NVIDIA graphics card that supports 3K Ray Tracing, this gaming laptop is a beast to take with you on the go. I recommend this to anyone that is a traveling gamer, or likes to put in some game time during work hours.

Premium build but RAM and sleep issues

Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The build quality is excellent and feels very premium. However, compared to the 2023, I found the trackpad to be in a slightly awkward position that made using feel uncomfortable to use. Might be something you just get used to. The oled screen is beautiful and the speakers are so loud even on 50%. The battery life from what I tested was around 4-6 hours using some basic power saving settings but I think it could be more if you tweak more things. The heat when gaming can be a little uncomfortable especially for the keys at the top.
Despite all the great things this laptop has, I eventually decided to return it because of the 16 GB non upgradable RAM. I tested with some games and I got lag spikes and low frame rate and with even just browsing with Edge the RAM didn't feel like it was enough for what I want to do.
I also encountered an issue for both the 2023 and 2024 laptop where if you let it fall asleep sometimes (I think with battery plugged in?), you get a black screen that forces you to hard reset, which can be very inconvenient to devastating depending on what you are doing.

I've owned the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2024 for a couple of months now, and it’s been an amazing experience. The sleek design, smooth display, and powerful performance make it perfect for both university projects and gaming. It boots up quickly, handles multitasking with ease, and the keyboard feels great for long typing sessions. While the fans can get a bit loud during heavy use, it's expected from a high-performance machine. The speakers are surprisingly good, and features like battery optimization and AI performance tuning actually come in handy. It's lightweight and portable enough to carry around daily, yet powerful enough to run apps smoothly.

A Gaming Laptop for Those Who Hate Gaming Laptops

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I wanted something with the form factor of a MacBook but ability to game; this laptop does just that. Battery life isn't incredible and while this laptop can charge off of USB-C, it's limited to 100 W which is less than the 180 W this laptop can use at full throttle, so you're going to be relying on the bulky included charger if you want to run demanding games on the go. I installed Fedora Linux on my machine and it's worked pretty well thanks to some 3rd party tools and guides created by the Asus Linux community. My unit was purchased as an open box unit in excellent condition. There was a dead pixel on the screen, but I was able to take it to the store and Asus replaced the display free of charge and it's been fine ever since. The biggest downside to this machine is that the RAM isn't user upgradeable, which may be a problem in new game releases a few years from now. Overall, it's well performing laptop in a sleek form factor, but not immune to the compromises involved in achieving such a thing.

This review is written by someone who knows nothing about computers but has had multiple laptops throughout her life that get used until the very last screw falls off. I got this laptop for gaming purposes, as well as casual work and browsing but any laptop can do that, so I won't talk about those last two.
As I write this review, I'm still on the fence on returning it. I am leaning more towards return.
The Good:
-Beautiful graphics. I love the Sims 4 (and my 1k+ mods) and if it can run that insane piece of code beautifully, I'm sure it can run other games well. I have an external SSD to be playing other games like BG3 because I did not want to pay so much for extra storage. TV shows also look nice even if they're 20+ years old.
-Incredible speakers. They're life changing. ASUS needs to start selling these speakers separately I am so serious.
-Runs apps smoothly but I feel like that's the bare minimum for most laptops
-Customizing the keyboard light is fun! Although it did take me some time to figure it out. They keyboard itself is pretty great. I have early onset arthritis, and it hasn't triggered any pain even after writing 1k-5k words a day.
-Very lightweight and thin despite its capabilities. I will admit, I mainly bought this one for the aesthetic, but I also care about getting my money's worth.
The Bad:
-When I first got it, something was immediately out of whack with it. So much that I started keeping a log of its infractions.
-- I was typing and it turned off for 2 seconds, went beep, and returned to life TWICE and back to back
--Would not connect to Bluetooth mouse and had distorted audio. I had to restart.
--It performed a system update and uninstalled Windows by itself (like I know Windows 11 sucks but girl... we kinda need it) and I had to consult Reddit for help. I figured out how to reinstall Windows on it using my phone and an SD card. I have not had a problem or glitch with it since this incident which is why I haven't returned it. I was waiting to add to the log but it seems like the reinstalling of Windows helped. The following problems are grievances.
-It updated SO MANY times when I first got it. I was always scared it would uninstall Windows again, but it hasn't.
-So, so loud. Apparently, this entire time that I've taken calls, the laptop has been exuding this chirping sound that people have politely ignored. They said it wasn't loud enough to go "what's wrong with her mic?" but it was noticeable. It just sounds like straight up crickets to me. It's always making some type of noise.
-I am not the first nor the last to talk about how hot this laptop gets. I had to buy a cooling pad separately-especially if I wanted to play games. It's almost a bit ridiculous because why is Word running you ragged? My cooling pad is on most if not all of the time. My previous gaming laptop lasted 4 years without a cooling pad and ran games like Sims 2-4 and Cyberpunk 2077. I don't trust this one without it. Also, I don't enjoy almost burning my fingers.
-Battery life is alright. It charges extremely fast so it makes up for it somewhat. Not a huge con but not a pro either.
It's a stunning machine. I just wish my experience with it, which has been one month now, was better than described above- especially for the insane price tag. I have the extended warranty, so I'm still yes I'll return it, no I'll keep it. Finding out about the chirping is sort of what ticked me off the most.
I genuinely can't recommend this laptop if you're not willing to buy a cooling pad and if you game, an external SSD enclosure. The only reason I still have it is because I can't find another laptop on the market that I like aesthetic wise, but I just don't think that's worth caring about with this much money on the line.

I love how portable this laptop is. Lots of gaming laptops can be huge desktop replacements... This offers a fully powered 4060, to of the line, power efficient AMD processor, and wonderful 3k OLED screen all in a compact package! Love it so far.
Things to consider:
- Great battery life can be achieved since the iGPU can be leverage when unplugged, preventing the dGPU from eating up the battery.
- Has lightning port that offers PD via USB-C. I think this PD is limited to 100W, so it will not give full gaming performance in this setup, but will power and charge the laptop if browsing, working, etc.
- Fans keep the laptop nice and cool under load, but are audible while playing demanding games. I don't hear them when gaming with a headset on.
- Works great with open source g-helper software to customize and control various functionality

I bought an open box and got this for $900. After a month of use, it has impressed me by the advanced Armor Crate settings that switches between igpu and dgpu to save battery. In addition, the display is amazing. The only things that I dislike are the heat when doing moderate things, and the fan noise. If only the components were an R7 8000s paired with the rtx 4050.

Excellent Quality Gaming Laptop

If you are into gaming laptops then you know how bulky and cumbersome gaming laptops are but look no further as this ROG Zephyrus G14 is changing how gaming laptops should be without compromising on the thrill and fun while playing all the high resolution and resource-heavy games.
This laptop is extremely thin at only 0.63 inches and weighs approximately 3.31lbs. And I haven't yet mentioned the look and elegance of this laptop, I was overwhelmed when I first looked at it, simply beautiful. Its compact size doesn't compromise performance as it combines portability with cutting-edge technology, with Windows 11 and a powerful GeForce RTX 4060 GPU that provides unparalleled gaming performance.
The add-on is the AMD Ryzen™ 9 8945HS processor that further enhances productivity with 16 TOPS in AI Performance. Next, we should talk about the OLED display with an astonishing response time of approximately 0.2ms and 3K resolution. I haven't noticed any visual tearing with minimal stuttering, and reduced input lag. The overall experience is much smoother than other regular gaming laptops.
Not just this, even the audio is of advanced technology with upgraded woofers that offer almost double the volume increase, superb bass frequency, and Dolby Atmos support. Lastly, this use ROG Intelligent Cooling integrates liquid metal and aerodynamic 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans to sustain peak performance for intense gaming sessions and overcome the processor heating issues.
What more should I expect as this let me experience lifelike graphics like simulating sunlight and creating a realistic environment for an immersive gaming experience, simply amazing.
With Windows 11 Home Operating System, feel the difference as it is efficient and has everything that you may need to operate this. The all new Windows Copilot AI assistant is in built and provides the trending features of Gen AI to leverage for my daily day to day tasks. This takes creativity to its limitless best!
I was able to perform the other regular tasks seamlessly as I do it otherwise and while multitasking, its gaming experience and performance didn't deteriorated at all and looked as if I was fully focused on playing the game itself.
Overall, this laptop is of excellent quality and ASUS has done an outstanding job in creating this gaming laptop. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a compact gaming laptop.

Performance
When I compare this with my previous computer, galaxybook 4 pro 360, it feels more capable to handle my samsung Odessey G80 external display. I usually run it at 4k 120hz, but this laptop can run it at 4k 240hz. I set it at 4k 120hz to match the hz internal display on the G14. On my galaxybook it seems fine when using only the external display, but when i run both screens the fans start roaring to their maximum and seems to heat up the computer a lot when playing youtube and multitasking. The G14 runs much cooler and much quieter when I'm doing this same workload and i can hear the audio better.
I think I need to do more testing, but when i set it to dgpu only(ultimate), it runs like a desktop with virtually no interface lag. When I set it to standard using both igpu and dgpu the os moves mostly fine. It still beats the galaxybook when under high load.
Convenience
I wanted a 14 inch laptop with desktop power i could take with me to places. I thought i would take my gb pro 16 inch with me but i don't. I appreciate the smaller form factor and the slightly lighter weight.
Battery
The battery i am not so thrilled about since i have to turn off the dgpu to get good estimates like 4 to 6 hrs. If i leave it on it usually looks like 2 to 3 hrs. I run the screen at 120hz. This is all under light use, just internet, youtube, and documents. I have to do more tweaking, but i primarly got it because my inegrated gpu laptop with low profile cooling vents felt inadequate for using at my desk most of the time. The keyboard feels better than the gb pro and has good travel. I do wish it had a touchscreen even though i didnt use it much on the gb pro, but given the extra performance, i am willing to sacrifice it.

Having used the 2022 model of the G14, this is an incredible upgrade in terms of build quality and the screen. It’s a lot lighter, doesn’t drain battery life when plugged into 100w USB-C charging while gaming, and the screen is beautiful and responsive. While rasterization performance is only marginally improved compared to the 6700s GPU of the 2022 model, it’s a more efficient chip, has much better raytracing/DLSS, and can encode AV1 for streaming and recording. Also the speakers rival my 14” MacBook Pro which is quite the accomplishment for a Windows laptop without extra audio software bloatware (i.e. Waaves Maxxaudio on Dell laptops).

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.

Everything is great, but the ram and noise. I feel disappointed that the ram cannot be upgraded which is not acceptable to me. Also, the high pitched noise from the fan is annoying when playing games. It has the harshest sound of any gaming laptop I've ever used. I'm not a fan of headphones so it's hard for me to accept this kind of sound for hours. It's also a little overpriced unless it's on sale. So I ended up returning it.
Overall, I think it's still a great portable gaming laptop. Great size, screen, performance, keyboard, and special light design. The speaker is amazing but the high pitched noise would cover the sound when playing some games, it's acceptable but not comfortable. If there is a discount, the price will be more suitable compare to a similar performance gaming laptop.
As long as you don't mind about price, sound or memory, I would highly recommend it.

Compact Powerhouse - ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024)

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I’ve been using the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) for a bit now, and it’s definitely one of the best gaming laptops I’ve had. It’s got the NVIDIA 4060 GPU and 16GB of RAM, and honestly, as long as the soldered RAM isn’t a dealbreaker for you, this laptop is a fantastic choice.
Performance & Gaming
The NVIDIA 4060 really delivers. I’ve been able to run demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 on high settings without any major drops in frame rates or overheating issues. The 16GB of RAM handles multitasking easily, whether I’m gaming, editing photos, or streaming. Even with several apps running at once, it doesn’t slow down.
Storage & Value
What really stands out for the price is the 1TB SSD. It’s plenty of storage for games, files, and media, and having that much space at this price point feels like a great deal. The SSD also makes everything snappy—boot times are super fast, and games load quickly.
Screen & Design
The 14-inch OLED 3K display is truly stunning. The vibrant colors, deep blacks, and excellent contrast make both gaming and media consumption a visual treat. The 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth visuals during fast-paced action, which is a huge plus for gaming. Overall, it’s a fantastic screen that adds to the immersive experience.
The aluminum chassis feels great in terms of build quality, giving the laptop a premium feel while staying lightweight and durable. The addition of a glass touchpad is also a super nice touch. It’s smooth, responsive, and feels much more high-end compared to typical touchpads. The new Slash Lighting LED feature on the lid adds some extra flair, while the overall design stays sleek and portable, perfect for everyday use or travel.
Battery Life, Charging & Build
Battery life is solid for a gaming laptop, offering 8-9 hours with light tasks like web browsing or streaming. The aluminum chassis not only looks and feels high-end but also provides durability, so I never worry about tossing it in a bag. What’s really impressive is the fast charging with the proprietary charger—50% charge in just 30 minutes. That’s a lifesaver when you need a quick boost on the go.
Verdict
All things considered, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) is an excellent choice if you want high-end performance in a portable package. The soldered RAM might be a downside for some, but with the NVIDIA 4060, 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, and that fantastic OLED screen, it’s hard to beat at this price point. The aluminum build, glass touchpad, and fast charging make it a durable, premium-feeling machine that’s great for gamers and professionals alike.

This is a great product. It is excellent for gaming on the go. The fan is loud, but that should be no surprise considering the power hungry CPU and GPU. The battery life is good when not playing games, but it pretty much needs power for the performance mode.
The speakers are also excellent.
