The Zephyrus G14 Is an absolute beast of a laptop, in a small package!
As of writing this review, I've had my laptop for a little over two weeks. I must say, I'm addicted to it! From playing heavy and light games to doing everyday productivity and work, it does it all with ease and comfort.
To start, the build of this laptop is phenomenal! The chassis of the laptop is all metal, except for the keys and touchpad. It is sturdy, yet so lightweight weighing around three pounds. I find it incredibly easy to tote this laptop around in my backpack with its charger and an external mouse.
The screen of this laptop is beyond gorgeous. The crisp 3k resolution, bright and vivid OLED with deep blacks, and an exceptional 120 Hz for smooth picture. It feels great on the eyes, especially in the dark with dark mode enabled. I honestly can't go back to a normal LCD display after using this! My eyes are so happy haha.
The keys are a good size, fitting my fingers well, and being a good distance apart for easy typing. The only keys I have trouble with are the arrow keys, since they are so thin and tightly together. But that's to keep the layout clean and compact, which I can't complain much there! The keys have RGB backlighting, which you can customize in either armory crate, or G-helper, which is what I prefer to use. The backlights are nice and bright for day use, but for night I have gotten them very dark, just enough to see the keys, without being a distraction to the screen itself.
I also have to give props to ASUS for the very large touchpad! It's incredible to use, offering tons of space for navigating the screen, and allowing easy 3 finger and 4 finger shortcuts built into windows. The touchpad is made of glass I believe, offering a smooth and satisfying texture for long and comfortable use.
Now, we can't forget about the internals of this trooper. The RTX 4070 and Ryzen 9 8945hs offer wonderful performance, allowing me to play heavy duty games with very high frame rates. I have been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 with beautiful ultra and high graphics at 1080p, and am getting smooth framerates averaging at 80 fps, even in busy areas. The laptop does get hot running heavy loads, GPU easily reaching max temps at 86 degrees Celsius, and the CPU reaching 70 to 80 degrees, with CPU boost DISABLED! It can easily go into the 90s with it enabled. The metal chassis can get warm all around, but extremely hot above the keyboard, next to the armory crate button. The vents of the laptop are in that area, shooting out the back, sort of onto the bottom of the screen which is a little concerning to me. So far I have had no issues though.
The battery life is pretty good in the laptop when using just the integrated graphics. Don't expect all day use without a charger, but you can definitely get several hours doing basic work and doing basic productivity tasks. The integrated graphics are actually very good, and perform well! smaller or mid end games can be achieved with integrated graphics with good framerates.
Overall, the laptop is phenomenal. An absolute incredible piece of technology, surely to last a good amount of years to come! I am satisfied with this purchase, and would recommend buying it on sale since it is on the more pricey end. Easy 5 out of 5!

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 in Platinum White is a stunning blend of power and elegance, making it a standout in the gaming laptop market. Here’s a detailed review:
Design and Build: The Zephyrus G14’s Platinum White finish is not just visually appealing but also exudes a premium feel. The CNC-machined aluminum chassis is both lightweight (3.31 lbs) and durable, making it perfect for gamers on the go. The slim profile (0.63 inches) ensures it fits easily into any backpack without compromising on sturdiness.
Display: The 14-inch OLED 3K display is a game-changer. With a resolution of 2880 x 1800 and a 120Hz refresh rate, it delivers vibrant colors and sharp details, making both gaming and content creation a delight. The 0.2ms response time and G-SYNC support ensure smooth, tear-free gameplay, even in fast-paced action scenes.
Performance: Under the hood, the Zephyrus G14 packs a punch with the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. This combination ensures top-tier performance, whether you’re gaming, streaming, or multitasking. The 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB SSD provide ample memory and storage for all your needs.
Cooling: ASUS has equipped this laptop with ROG Intelligent Cooling technology, including Tri-Fan technology and liquid metal thermal compound. These features keep the laptop cool and quiet, even during intense gaming sessions.
Audio: The audio experience is equally impressive, with enhanced woofers that deliver clear and vibrant sound.
Battery Life: Despite its powerful specs, the Zephyrus G14 offers decent battery life, making it suitable for extended gaming sessions or work on the go.
Conclusion: The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 in Platinum White is a perfect blend of style, performance, and portability. It’s an excellent choice for gamers and creators looking for a high-performance laptop that doesn’t compromise on aesthetics or build quality. Whether you’re gaming, creating content, or just browsing, this laptop delivers on all fronts.

Asus ROG Zephyrus real review

The Zephyrus G14 is easily one of the best laptops I’ve owned .I got the 4070 version. I mainly use it for gaming, and it’s handled everything smoothly…no crashes, no slowdowns. In PUBG, I get around 120–140 FPS on low and 60–70 FPS on high, with consistent performance and no lag even during intense firefights.
Yes, it gets warm near the volume button and the fans can be loud…the battery life is not that bad (4- 6 hrs)but that’s expected for a slim gaming laptop. The performance never dips, so it doesn’t bother me.
What really makes it a good pick for me is the combo of power and portability. It’s lightweight, clean in design (almost feels like apple quality), and doesn’t scream “gamer,” but still delivers where it counts. Has OLED screen which is really nice. Whether I’m gaming, working, or on the go, the G14 hasn’t let me down. Im very satisfied.
Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for serious performance without the bulk.

The Best All-Around Gaming Laptop of the Year(s)

As an amateur (please be aware - "amateur" as in my wife and dog are my only fans...) hardware reviewer who’s tested everything from high-end desktops to gaming laptops, I can confidently say the 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is the most well-rounded, versatile laptop I’ve ever used. After reviewing heavy hitters like the MacBook Pro 14/16 (M3 Pro/Max), Legion 9i Gen 9, MSI Titan 18HX, and Razer Blade 18 (RTX 4090), the G14 stands out as the clear winner in 2024.
Let’s start with design. This machine strikes the perfect balance between portability and power. It’s small but not too small, with a sleek, premium look. The keyboard is top-tier, providing a smooth and responsive typing experience that puts other laptop keyboards to shame. Meanwhile, the trackpad and the iconic slash lighting add a touch of class that’s both functional and aesthetic.
The screen is where this G14 truly shines. The 120Hz 3K OLED display is hands down the best I’ve ever used—vibrant, sharp, and a joy to look at whether gaming or working. It outshines the 2023 G14, which had frame drops and heat issues. This 2024 model nails the visual experience.
Moving on to performance, the pairing of the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and Nvidia RTX 4070 is stellar. I’ve been playing games like Ghost of Tsushima on max settings with AMD Frame Generation, and this laptop blazes through it without breaking a sweat. No stuttering, no frame drops—just smooth, seamless gaming. Even GTA 5 runs like a dream. What’s even more impressive is how cool and quiet this laptop stays during heavy gaming sessions, thanks to its efficient design.
The sound quality is a pleasant surprise, too. I initially thought it was average, but after tweaking the Dolby audio settings, I was blown away. It’s the best sound I’ve heard from any gaming laptop. The battery life is also outstanding—using GHelper and optimizing settings, I’m getting 9-11 hours on light use, which is nearly unheard of for a gaming laptop of this caliber.
While I’ve tested some beasts this year (looking at you, MSI Titan 18HX and Legion 9i), they couldn’t match the G14’s overall package of performance, portability, and value. Sure, the RTX 4070 isn’t a 4090, but in this machine, it’s perfectly balanced and gets the job done without making you feel like you’re lugging around a desktop replacement.
In conclusion, the 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is my new daily driver and the best laptop I’ve ever used. Whether for work or gaming, it excels in every category that matters—performance, design, display, sound, and battery life. It’s the ultimate gaming laptop for those who need versatility without compromising power.

Stable PC, runs everything I want great, college purposes and gaming purposes. Runs all AAA titles. great screen sharpness/resolution and OLED benefits, gets plenty bright in HDR and SDR modes, and has amazing speakers (truly the best on any laptop). The size of this thing is astounding given its computational prowess, I use GHelper, and it helps me manage everything essential to this laptop. Overall, you cannot go wrong with this. I've owned this for 10 months at the time of writing this review. The Keyboard has great travel and feel as well.

Screen: Best I have seen in any laptop... Ever.
Sound: Best I have ever heard in any laptop... Ever.
Keyboard & Trackpad: Best I have used in any laptop... Ever.
NVidia 4070: I play all my games on high everything, absolutely do problems. I also utilize the AI features of this specific card and it is fantastic. You will love gaming, coding, and everyday stuff with this laptop and with this card.
RAM: It's 32 GB in a laptop. Stop pretending it is better to be able to install RAM. That's only the case if they don't give you enough. 32 GB is enough. It wasn't enough when they sold the G14 with lower amounts of RAM.
Soldered RAM is faster and more efficient, especially in terms of power conservation... The RAM performance is fantastic.
Lighting: The keyboard lighting is the best on the entire series of laptops. This is my third personally owned G14. I'm responsible for a lot of G14 sales because it's what I recommend to just about everyone. Slash lighting is cool, could have a few more options on how to utilize it, but there is already software for better options.
QC: Any complaint I had with the g14 2023 model was addressed with this one. Fantastic build. Amazing look.
Storage: 1TB storage is solid both in terms of size and performance. I will probably upgrade this in terms of performance, but I'm definitely not in a hurry because it is really good.
Battery: I think it's great. Just take advantage of the power features. People that complain about "only 4 hours of usage" while having everything maxed out are insane. It's a battery. It's sufficient in size and the power options to get the most out of your battery are fantastic.
Weight: This this is awesome to carry around. I love the power, performance, weight balance...
So was it worth driving 2 hours, one way, to get it? Now that I have both seen and used it... I would have driven 8 hours, one way, to get it. Yes. Go get one. The second you can find it available, go get one.
Did you buy one yet? Go get one.

A Software Development major view on this machine

Originally wanted last years model but it turns out, it has worse quality as well as more heat output.
With that being said, i think Asus improved everything about this laptop, battery, performance, quality, and more.
My reasons for getting this laptop is because I wanted a powerful laptop with good battery life that also looked clean, this fill in all of my requirements for I'm using this laptop for my major in Software Development this fall.
I have a 34inch ultrawide as well as a pretty powerful computer at home, the ultrawide may be bigger but I find myself wanting to play on my laptop more due to how much better the colors and how much clear it is alone.
My monitor share the same resolution as this laptop and yet I would pick this laptop any day in terms of clarity.
I've only recently got my hands on this laptop after waiting months to finally get one so I can't really give a full battery review.
But with my normal use of having lots of applications in the background, youtube videos, and watching streams, I can say that I average 4 hours which is pretty good in my eyes.
The performance isn't anything that I'm impressed with since my desktop is technically more powerful than it but it's still amazing to see so much power packed in a little machine.
With the help of G-Helper, I managed to drop my temperatures from 80c when gaming, back to 67c by disabling CPU Boost which is on by default in some of the modes.
I've also undervolted the CPU and managed to average 36c on the CPU with and without it being plugged in, no stutters or anything, which is a bonus.
I've got the 4070 model mainly because of the 32gb of RAM, my dream job is to become a Software Developer during or after college and I hope to have this laptop throughout the journey.
Based on how impressed i am of this laptop, I would recommend this laptop to any professional who wants a laptop that's like the MacBook but is on windows.
I would also recommend this for gamers who won't be playing all day, everyday, this laptop is powerful but it can dip below 60 FPS with RTX enabled, without it however, it will run fine.
It's been 3 years since I've had a laptop that's actually mine and I'm glad I've picked Asus despite the recent drama that's been going on, a very underrated laptop but definitely worth it, especially on sale.

This machine has everything I ever wanted out of a gaming laptop. It looks pretty, has a beautiful OLED screen, solid battery life, and very portable! However, it can get a bit hot, and a bit of the 4070 performance is sacrificed to achieve this kinda design. I kinda prefer the old AniMe Matrix but I'd say the Slash Lighting looks cleaner. Overall I would highly recommend it. (This review was written to enter in the ASUS Rate your Gear promotion)

The G14 with an RTX 4070 is a powerful, portable laptop that’s great for gaming and creative work. It has a beautiful display, strong battery life, and premium build quality. It runs hot and has limited RAM upgrade options, but overall, it’s one of the best compact performance laptops available.

This is an excellent 14" laptop! It is extremely portable and lightweight while still having great performance. I love the build quality on this computer and the trackpad, keyboard and screen are a pleasure to use. This computer leaves me wanting nothing more in a computer. I got the 14 inch version because I need a portable computer for college. However, the only thing that I might change if i could buy again is going for the 16" version instead of the 14" version as it is more powerful with better cooling, a better display, and only slightly larger. Also the speakers on this thing are absolutely amazing!!! Like MacBook level speakers! Maybe better! The fans do get loud at max speed but what do you expect... you can also turn off dGPU when doing light tasks so when I'm doing that the PC is silent and cool.

Great gaming laptop
I’ve been using this for school and a bit of light gaming. Overall solid performance the 3rd fan does make a noise but it’s not too noticeable
Light- very important form factor. The 4070 and 32GB is a steep price tag but it’s worth it as it’s light and packs huge power in a small form factor. Speakers are great it comes with Dolby atmos . Color editing and video editing solid 100 as it can handle everything you throw at it. Same with photoshop and any other demanding games. I’m putting 4 stars because it’s a high price tag to have all these features. Solid battery life performance. Averaging around 8 hours use.

I have been surprisingly impressed by this laptop due to a number of its features. It's ability to have an excellent OLED display with still accurately being able to hit the 8 hours of battery life on a single charge is amazing. When plugged in this laptop is able to run heavy gaming applications at high framerates. My favorite uses for it is doing any university work or watching entertainment as the color accuracy and 120hz screen are beautiful. It's lightweight 3lbs and small 14inch screen make it my most recommended laptop for any engineering student.

The 14-Inch Laptop That Changed My Mind

I never really liked 14-inch laptops—always felt too small for me—but the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) completely changed my mind. It’s incredibly powerful for its size, runs games smoothly, and the screen quality is way better than I expected. I was surprised by how comfortable it is to use, even for longer sessions. The fans do get pretty loud under load, and the keyboard layout took a bit to get used to, but overall, it’s a solid, well-built machine that’s easy to carry around without sacrificing performance.

Best all-around 14 inches laptop in the market

Incredibly light laptop, very portable, it is the same size as my 13'3 Surface Laptop, but lighter than it.
Best speakers of any Windows Laptop, and onboard audio is good enough to drive even more demanding headphones like Dan Clark Aeon X Closed (barely).
Very good keyboard and amazing trackpad.
Fan noise is very acceptable, doing office work (internet browsing, watching videos) the fan doesn't even run, when doing more intensive tasks and gaming it can get loud but not loud enough to bother. Also, due to the amazing speakers the fan noise is hardly a distraction in the end.
I don't play a lot of games, but it does a pretty good job delivering "good enough" performance in any title.
As a buyer you need to have the right expectations, this is not a super powerful gaming laptop, or a desktop replacement, this is an incredibly portable, light, that can run pretty much any game you throw at it 45+ fps just fine.
If your primary use is gaming, there are better options, but this is something you can do anything you need very competently, including gaming, and still carry it around anywhere with you.
There are just two areas for improvements, the storage (1tb is too small and it is not a fast NVMe) and keyboard backlight is average at best. If you swap the storage for a higher performance and spacious one, and don't mind the backlight this is the best 14 inches laptop in the market, period.

Overall this laptop is the best tech purchase I've ever done, It has a fantastic display that once you try it you will never see any other LCD display the same way, great components that makes it powerful enough to run any program you try, and, As a designer myself, I can carry it around at work without doing any effort because its weight is so minimal compared to other laptops its gonna make you miss it everytime you lift any other laptop. The ROG ZEPHYRUS is the perfect laptop for every college/graduate person that has responsabilities but still wants to have something to game with at night or during free time, honestly I cannot recommend this enough, If you are considering buying it and are having doubts because of the 2025 models, I'd say this is still a great option having every single feature the 2025 model has but with a little worse performance in gaming, still, this laptop is giving me 150+ fps in marvel rivals which is a pretty recent game, with every setting in high and native res, so, with a little optimization lowering settings or something you can easily get 240 fps , if you are planning on playing on a different display, maybe even more fps with every config in low, So, yeah, just buy it. You'll regret it if you wont.
