This is my third ROG Zephyrus G14. I've had the 2020 model with the RTX 2060 Max-Q, the 2021 model with the RTX 3060, and now this one (one of the previous ones was returned, and the other was resold). In some ways, it's a step down, notably with battery life. However, the thermals are finally under control. It's not piping ridiculously hot exhaust right onto the screen and it's not getting unbearably hot to the touch while gaming. Also, having a (single zone) RGB backlit keyboard now means that the backlight can stay on without making the keys illegible -- seriously, who thought white LEDs on silver keys was a good idea. I also like that the lid LEDs are now standard and not just a feature of the highest-end models, even though the area is much smaller.]
That being said, let's dive in. The combination of the Ryzen 9 8945HS and the RTX 4070 are extremely performant, especially with 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Ordinarily soldered RAM is a hard pass for me, but I generally don't go above 32 GB on most computers unless they're going to be used for serious work. A good comparison is my desktop -- it has a Ryzen 5 5600X, a RTX 3070 TI and 64 GB of DDR4 RAM. The desktop is better for running VMs and has more expansion capabilities. The Zephyrus is better at everything else, including gaming. I was perfectly happy with my desktop's gaming chops until I bought this laptop -- but right now, subjectively, between the high-refresh OLED display and the RTX 4070, the Zephyrus feels like it's running circles around my desktop.
My biggest gripe with this model is the fact that you only get a single M.2 slot for storage. Ordinarily I like to run at least 2 drives in my computers. Having your files split between 2 drives means that you're putting less wear on each, and having a single drive also means that you have to shell out more for larger storage, and that also means a single point of failure. I upgraded the SSD to a 2 TB drive on mine, cloning from the original using Macrium Reflect.
And on the note of opening it, I will say that it's not hard to get inside the Zephyrus. The bottom is secured with a bunch of Torx screws, including 2 under the black plastic pieces on the back edge near the hinges, but there's no shenanigans like screws hidden under parts attached by adhesive. It's easy to get at the parts you will likely be interested in touching (SSD, wifi card, battery).
Overall, I've had nothing but good experiences with the 2024 model, aside from the relatively short battery life -- in reality, getting 7-ish hours of battery out of a 14" gaming laptop just shows how spoiled we've gotten in the last several years -- and I think this is definitely worth the price, if you can swing it.

Honest review of a recent buyer

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.

The laptop that replaced my m3 MacBook. Build quality is amazing, screen is amazing, I prefer this keyboard of a Mac keyboard. The trackpad is nice and clicky, haptic would have been slightly better but I have nothing against this trackpad. Battery life is fantastic once setting up g helped and optimizing everything. In the end chose this because I travel a lot and like to game and work with development a MacBook just doesn’t cut it for gaming so in the end this killed two birds with one stone.

ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) – 6-Months later

After 6 months of medium to heavy daily use, this laptop has been great. It runs every game and program effortlessly, with zero lag. The 3K OLED display is gorgeous—perfect for gaming and video streaming. The performance is top-tier thanks to the Ryzen 9 and RTX 4070, and the build quality is excellent (comparable to a Macbook). The only downside is the battery life. I average about 5–6 hours with regular use, up to 9–10 hours with light tasks. Overall, an amazing laptop for gamers, students, and professional workers.

I've been using the ASUS Zephyrus G14 for a while now, and it's been an absolute pleasure. The display is stunning—the colors are vibrant and accurate, which makes a huge difference, especially when I'm working in DaVinci Resolve. Video editing runs incredibly smoothly, with no lag or stutter, which really surprised me for a laptop this compact. The keyboard is also super comfortable to type on—responsive and smooth, making long sessions feel effortless. Overall, the G14 hits the sweet spot between performance, portability, and display quality. Highly recommend!

Just bought this laptop on Black Friday for good deal! And I could not be more happier. After done research on what’s the best 14 inch gaming laptop that’s out there. This laptop has it all! The build quality is solid , the oled display was amazing, the sound system is probably one of the best gaming laptop thats out there. The cpu runs super fast and as well as the gpu. The cooling system and the fan works very well it’s quite even on performance mode and I was surprise this laptop dont even get as hot with such a thin laptop with a powerful performance. I definitely recomend the Zephyrus G14 If you are looking for a portable gaming laptop with best over all performance. This laptopg will not disappointed you.

Powerful Performance Meets Stunning Display

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) is an impressive gaming laptop that scores high with its stunning 2880 x 1800 OLED display and powerful performance from the AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and NVIDIA RTX 4070. It handles demanding games smoothly and boasts a commendable battery life of around 8 hours.
The port selection is decent, offering multiple USB-A, USB-C, HDMI 2.1, and a MicroSD card reader. However, it has some drawbacks, including limited configurations and soldered RAM with a maximum of 32GB, which may not meet the needs of heavy multitaskers.
Overall, I give the ASUS ROG G14 (2024) 4 out of 5 stars. It shines in display quality and performance but could improve in upgradeability and RAM options.

The display quality is awesome and it is also a good gaming machine, I like to play some games and all of them did run smooth.

This is a fantastic device for the size and especially when on a discount. I managed to get it on sale for about $400 below MSRP. The screen is gorgeous, the trackpad and keyboard feel good and seem well built.
I cloned the 1 Tb default NVME and replaced it with a 2 Tb Samsung 990 Pro for more storage. It's also worth uninstalling Armory Crate with the uninstaller on the Asus website and replacing with G-Helper.
My only complaints being that the RAM is soldered so not expandable. Also I discovered that the USB C ports do not fully support Thunderbolt 3-4. So there is no way to use most external hubs/ docks for extra ports, or an e-GPU for rendering or gaming. In 2024-2025 that's a real shame for an otherwise great laptop.

To be honest the main reason why I bought this laptop is because it is really pretty. Even though it is a gaming laptop it is not as bulky as the others and the silent mode is perfect for the quietest environment. The oled screen is perfect for watching movies and the speakers ARE SO GOOD LIKE REALLY GOOD!
The only two problems are that for some reason I have to reset the Face ID thing sometimes bc it doesn’t work, and the battery life :((

Love this laptop! Does most everything I paid for. It is a solid gaming device. Not able to run all graphically intense games on max but high settings usually work out fine. I run Cyber Punk on max settings 1080p with ray tracing turned off which is fine because all ray tracing in that game does is crash your framerate without any visual benefit. The screen is gorgeous, bright and clear. The battery life could be a little better. On a full charge with battery saver on it will do basic tasks for 6 to 8 hours but most gaming only 2 to 4 hours depending on the game. I got it on sale and feel it was definitely worth the price.
