Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fast, powerful, solid gaming laptop, compact design, great for travel. Speakers are next level for a windows PC. I have the 32GB 4070 - it's something you could use for your job, for watching streaming videos, or for gaming pretty much any high end title at medium high quality at the very least. Wait for it to go on sale and grab one, you won't regret it one bit.

Asus’s G14 series of laptops is one of absolute epic heritage. The very first G14 was one of my best purchases, sporting a Ryzen 9 CPU, RTX gpu, and 1TB of storage. 4 years later, the G14’s latest iteration is nearing perfection, but keeping the winning combo from years ago. This time CPU wise instead of the 4900HS, we have a 8945HS. Pulling dedicated graphics duty is the 4070 mobile, clearly outpacing its 2060 max-q from years ago. The chassis has kept what made it special while offering further refinements. And the unusually large 1tb ssd has been replaced by a, err… well, faster 1tb drive? Well, guess you can’t have everything. That said, this piece of kit for the money is still quite a power house. While the premium for the 4070 isn’t necessarily worth it over the 4060, let’s set that aside for a moment and compare this apples to apples to competitors, which without calling out a particular brand, could be compared to the aforementioned fruit. In fact, I have a particular model that has a CPU that ends in 3 pro, and I have to say the G14 holds its own. Physically it is nearly identical in dimensions to this fruit competitor, differing in height due to the slight increase in rubber foot height in the rear. Screen real-estate and keyboard layout are very comparable, as is trackpad size, etc. The G14 GA403 is in every way an improvement over the previous gen G14’s. Gone are the odd gamer-y angles found on the first generation. Squared edges dominate, with the only strangely shaped item found is the squat hexagon power button. The awesomely cool, but only high end equipped matrix led lid display has been replaced by a series of LED’s in a slash offering a bit of flair without the expense. Gone is the only semi-reliable fingerprint reader-in-power button, which is replaced by Windows Hello IR facial recognition. The previous 1080p and 2k screens are replaced by a 2880x1800 display that comfortably runs at 1440x900 hi-dpi resolution. This screen not only has a super high resolution, but while lower than the year prior’s refresh rate of 165hz, offers 120hz of individually illuminated pixels - yes this is OLED. A beautiful dynamic contrast ratio which cannot be outdone by LCD’s is on display. Offering Dolby DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, the display does not disappoint. I found the display more than bright enough in any indoor setting. Speakers on this laptop, of which there are 6, are excellent. This rivals any notebook (including the aforementioned fruit based one) on having the most expansive and clear sound I’ve heard from a laptop - all while being in a package that’s smaller than most. Bass hits, and clarity is top notch. Keyboard backlighting is solid, and controllable in the Armory Crate app and Windows new Dynamic Lighting control panel. Unfortunately it’s a single zone (meaning one color, not individual or multiple zones), but really I don’t find that too much of a limitation. Color is good, as even white is surprisingly white given the RGB nature. The keys themselves feel just as good as the previous keyboard, if not a bit better. The trackpad is large and oversized with decent palm rejection and good gesture support. Build wise, the laptop is quite light - weighing in at 3lbs 6oz - owing to its magnesium aluminum alloy construction. The laptop’s build quality is firm and feels just as solid if not more so than its older brethren. Considering we’re packing top tier Zen4 cores, a fully enabled AD106 GPU core, and all the things supporting those high end components, the weight and build quality are just outstanding. This laptop is a powerhouse, especially plugged in. Shifting the GPU mode to ‘Ultimate’ in Armory Crate unlocks the 90w power limit and helps the AD106 reach its peak performance. Between the CPU and GPU, this laptop is packing some of the best hardware in this price range. AMD’s cpu is both power efficient and powerful, and Nvidia’s GPU is solid, offering nearly double the frame rates of my trusty old 1st gen’s 2060 max-q. Games were fluid and smooth, and despite needing a driver update to work correctly, the mux switch helps the 4070 push the maximum amount of frames it can. If you haven’t heard of this ‘mux’ thing, it’s something that’s usually reserved for higher end gaming laptops with dedicated GPUs. It allows the GPU, on demand, to bypass the internal on-board graphics, and drive the screen directly. That allows for native things like g-sync, and better performance. The AMD 780m takes over when the Nvidia GPU isn’t required, making the battery last a bit longer than it would with the 4070 drinking it down. Performance is good on battery, if only that despite battery limited settings, the Ryzen CPU is blindingly fast. Even hampered by low clocks and process utilization limitations found in the ‘silent’ profile, it still manages ~8500 in cinebench. On performance, even on battery the CPU realizes 15k+ points. Plugged in you’ll see the full ~18k points you’d expect from the CPU. The inbuilt AMD APU is no slouch either - filling in day to day duties more than adequately. The 4070’s performance is limited on battery, but still manages to perform adequately if you’re in the mood for a mobile gaming session. I benchmarked and compared numbers for a couple games, but 3dmark Firestrike did a good job showing the GPU about 70% of its plugged-in performance numbers. Not horrible on a battery, but not quite as efficient as the CPU, which still gave about 85% of its numbers. The new rectangular power plug is fine. It can be plugged either direction, which is nice. It’s no magnetic charger, but overall it’s a sure way to deliver the 180w of power the brick can put out. While it can also charge on USB-C, but to 100w, the power hungry hardware calls for a little more juice, and we’re a bit away from that much power over USB-C. Disassembly of the chassis is fairly easy. There are 11 screws - 2 hidden under black plugs. They’re a star head, and the 4 near the front are a different length. On opening you are presented with the complex headpipe design, 3 fans, and the only 2 upgradable components: the mediatek WiFi and NVMe SSD. Hey, at least it comes with 32GB of DDR5! Some observations: The old model has a nearly identical CPU. The 7940hs and 8945hs are nearly identical in specs - sporting slight tweaks in power draw and slightly higher AI TOPS. The old model also could be optionally equipped with 4080 or 4090 cards, which may be available eventually in this chassis. The old model had a thicker lid w/ mini led screen and higher refresh rate. While some details that have changed are arguably not as good, OLED will always have deeper blacks, and the obscenely expensive high end cards are no huge loss for most buyers in this chassis size.. Overall, I think the G14 GA403 brings the G14 forward. A cleaner, more grown up design, while still keeping some gaming flair and doing what the G14 has always done: bring the biggest baddest gaming hardware in at a fairly reasonable price. The GA403 sports some of the best tech available, and a screen that’s just gorgeous to view. I have no hesitation recommending this or any G14.

Very fast and great battery life for a gaming laptop. You have to adjust the setting to keep your battery: use the silent mode for the cpu, eco for the gpu, and energy saver. And then adjust them differently when there is actually a need for it. It still runs fast. It's also pretty. I should say that I don't play games, I am a programmer. The screen quality is also very good. The only problems I have are that running ubuntu on it is a pain (although I dual booted and it still runs fast), and also the color of the left corner has faded.

I recently got the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, and I’m really impressed. The screen quality is amazing, with sharp visuals and vibrant colors. The design is sleek and modern, and it’s so lightweight and easy to carry around. It’s been perfect for both work and gaming, and I’m loving the overall experience!

lowkey the best windows laptop your money could buy. it has quality like mac. for the same price you 5x the performance, boots super fast display is amazing battery life is awsome it'll last about 6-7 hours un plugged and it runs most game around 100 fps with high quality

This laptop is for those who want a portable yet capable gaming laptop and it definitely does it well. The build quality is definitely good from outset. AAA game titles run fast and smooth. I found the laptop easy to upgrade as well, I swapped in a 4TB SSD and I even upgraded the WiFi chip to a qualcomm WiFi 7 chip in a breeze. My time with the laptop has obviously been limited given it's recent release but right now if you're looking for a light, portable, and capable gaming laptop this one definitely should be a contender. My only gripe was the preloaded software which I felt slowed down the laptop a bit. I wiped it clean, reinstalled windows, necessary drivers and a much lighter/cleaner version of the Asus software called "ghelper" which helped immensely.

ASUS and their Republic of Gamers (ROG) line of gaming PCs continue a good run, including this Zephyrus G14 2024 model. Over the last few years, I acquired a ROG Flow and the 2023 version of this model notebook and have been using them nonstop since. The Zephyrus G14 (2024) is a fairly compact white/crème laptop with a LED pattern on the top cover which flashes and provides cool visual effects. The Zephyrus is packed with hot technology including a updated AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS CPU, NVIDIA RTX 4070 GPU w/8GB of DDR6 memory (both of which are updates from last years Zephyrus model which had a 7040HS CPU & a NVIDIA 4060 GPU), this model also includes 32GB of DDR5 6400mhz RAM, a matte 14" QHD (16:10) 165Hz OLED non touchscreen. Rounding the system out with a 1TB SSD - PCIe Gen4 all with Windows 11 Home operating system. Ergonomically the Zephyrus feels good and is lighter and thinner than last year, 3.31lbs. A backlit keyboard and large trackpad are featured. Armoury Crate is ASUS’ software which provides you with deep insight and tuning abilities primarily with a CPU and GPU focus. Several preset modes are provided to keep all the performance related black magic behind the scenes. Performance profiles include Windows, Silent, Performance, Turbo (AC Powered only) and a Manual preset. Be aware some of the enhanced performance modes overclock the CPU/GPU and can really raise the temperature and get those cooling fans working. I will avoid diving too deeply into gaming performance, I only play a few games, but those I do play including ACE Combat 7 looked silky smooth with no dropped frames or glitches. As for my other passion, creating content – including moderately advanced video editing, it handles those tasks well. So everything I mentioned with the previous model of this line have been addressed. Bigger SSD, more standard memory. Pros: - Compact notebook, right sized medium form factor - Performance oriented, blazing quick CPU and GPU - 240 watt power supply - OLED non-touchscreen - Good gaming performance - video production abilities, including those that are GPU intensive. Cons: None

This laptop is one of the best 14-inch gaming laptops and the only one worth getting in 2024. It's light, portable, and powerful. The screen is fantastic, and the build quality and typing experience are top-notch. The only cons are that it can get pretty hot, the battery life is alright, the screen wobbles and the LEDs under the keyboard don't illuminate very well. It is a perfect Windows laptop if you can get past these things. Oh, and get rid of all the pre-installed bloatware on it.

Imho, nothing to dislike. It looks amazing. It performs amazing when needed. On silent mode, there is no fan noise at all, while keeping enough performance to do some casual stuff like typing, watching or listening something. The battery holds really well. Its nebula oled display and speakers are just another level of everything. Best laptop i have ever seen. Strongly recommend.

Amazing to see this much power packed into a small package. Specs for the harware on this machine are pretty impressive. Only downside is the hard drive size. For a gaming computer, 1TB just isn't going to cut it. Pretty easily upgradable on this at least. Asus cloud restore works surprisingly well. Build quality on this is really nice. Reminds me a lot of a smaller Macbook pro. Slash lighting on the lid is rather useless. Not even multi color, so kinda dropped the ball there. Will more than likely never be turned on anyway so I guess no biggie. Fans are basically silent under normal use, a little loud but nothing crazy when gaming. I like that this has numerous ports for this size laptop, USB C, USBA, and HDMI. Removed Armory Crate software and replaced it with G-Helper to cut down on the bloat and hogging of system resources. Batter life definitely helped out a bit by doing that. Screen is absolutely beautiful, probably best I have seen in a laptop. Still kinda early on using this, but so far very happy with the purchase.

The best balance of portability and gaming prowess on the market today. Screen looks incredible at the native high resolution, but even gaming at 1080p on OLED looks fantastic. Killer battery life for daily tasks and watching videos. I ended up downgrading to the 4060 model since it went on sale, but highly recommend either 2024 G14. The best overall portable gaming package on the market.

The build quality of the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is exceptional, rivaling the premium feel of all-metal Razer Blade laptops. The compact 14" form factor makes it an excellent choice for portability, and the OLED display is simply stunning, delivering vibrant colors and deep blacks. However, the RAM options (16GB or 32GB) feel somewhat limiting, especially for power users who run multiple virtual machines—I would have loved a 64GB option. I can't stress this enough, but the RAM is not user-upgradable and is soldered to the mainboard. Overall, the G14 excels in portability, display quality, and GPU performance. If you're looking for a powerful yet lightweight laptop, this is a fantastic option, though RAM limitations might be a drawback for more demanding workloads.

This thing? An absolute unit. ASUS really said “let’s cram a monster into 14 inches” and nailed it. The Ryzen 9 8945HS and RTX 4070 combo chews through anything I throw at it — games, edits, multitasking chaos — without breaking a sweat. The 3K OLED screen? Gorgeous. Crisp, vibrant, and buttery smooth at 120Hz. It’s lightweight, sleek, and deceptively powerful. Battery life’s solid for a performance rig, and it stays cooler than it has any right to. Whether I’m gaming, working, or just flexing on lesser laptops, this G14 delivers. Just a baller computer, full stop.

Replaced an M4 MacBook Air, while that laptop had incredible battery life and portability it was massifly underpowered for my use case. I work in engineering and a lot of the applications I use to continue training/learning are hard to run. I also occasionally game, but was not my primary use case. It does run most new titles at medium to high settings without issue. My only slight complaint would be it gets very loud when under high utilization, but that is the trade off with the size and portability.

Great battery life, amazing screen, amazing sound, amazing form factor. This laptop checks all the boxes. I currently have this laptop connected to an ultra wide displaying 2 1440p displays. Not only is it whisper quiet, but it’s amazingly fast. Whether it’s for work or games you won’t be disappointed.

This is a fantastic laptop for those that want to game in an office setting or work on graphics intensive tasks. It looks like a typical modern laptop other than the slash, but inside is a powerful AMD cpu and nvidia 4070 gpu (on the 32gb version) that delivers great performance. The display is absolutely gorgeous with up to a 120hz refresh rate and oled technology. OLED displays have incredible contrast with deep blacks but they normally don't have the best brightness. This laptop, however, can get really bright. The speakers are THE BEST speakers I have heard come from a windows laptop. The keyboard keys feel nice and tactile, although they are still low profile keys so you may want to get a keyboard if you don't like that. Battery life is, as expected, not the greatest when you have this much performance in a slim form factor. I've seen around 3-5 hours with intensive use, and 8-10 hours with lighter use. One thing to note is the keyboard area can get really hot and burn your palm if you use the laptop intensively and the bottom also gets really hot and can burn your legs if you like to rest your laptop on your legs while using. The mic and front camera aren't the greatest but they're still decent. One last thing I like about this laptop is the port selection. It has every port you would need unlike some other laptops.

I had to return the first one I got because the keyboard had a double typing problem (Bestbuy customer service was great). Second laptop has the same problem + a buzz sound on right speaker but I kept it because overall it works fine, I just have to type slower and hopefully the speaker is just a loose part (at least I got it on sale). Great graphics and not as noisy as I was expecting (only when pushing GPU which is pretty standard on a gaming laptop). Very few problems with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (might be the game instead of the laptop). Excellent design by ASUS, its good to have premium products on PC cheaper than apple. I use it for work 90% of the time, the rest is for music production and gaming.

I love the unit. It is slick and light. The screen and the sound is the best I’ve seen on a 14 inch laptop. I totally recommend getting the unit with 32 GB RAM. Of course this unit is designed for gaming (and it is great for it) but doing my heavy modelings and simulations is a breeze! The battery life is good for what you are getting.

Works beautifully and flawlessly for everything I need it to do. I’ve had zero issues with it and I will mention that the keyboard when playing a game does heat up. Other than that though it works great.

I’ve been using this laptop for a couple of weeks now and it’s awesome. The screen looks great, super sharp and vibrant, and the refresh rate makes everything feel really smooth. Games run great on high settings, and I was really impressed with the sound quality too. It has some bass to it. Downsides are it can get hot during longer gaming sessions, and the battery drains fast. Overall, it’s a great gaming laptop with a premium look
