- Asus's ROG Zephyrus G14 is one of the best gaming laptops we've tested. It's thinner and lighter than most of the competition, and with up an Nvidia 2060 GPU and an AMD R9-4900H processor, it's legitimately faster than some high-end all-in-one PCs we've tested in the past. Combine that with great battery life, a good selection of ports, and a price under $1500, and you've got a winner.

Basically if you are a student like me, who travels a lot, likes games, but also has to work with softwares lile Matlab, AutoCAD. This is the thing for you. Just bought mine. It is important to say that it can be charged through a USB C port therefore no need to take the AC brick if you wont use it for gaming. Finally I can show to a meeting with a decent design laptop and not bringing my msi which looks like the aliens send it to me.
You're not gonna get the same power input from USB c PD than you will from the AC brick. You'll probably still drain the battery if you're gaming while charging with USB C
What country are you in? I want to buy one but it’s not available in North America yet
The only downside of this laptop is that it does not have a webcam. I don't use the webcam a lot but in these trying times it's kind of a necessity.
kaushal parekh dude this corona will pass and then it would be pointless.
"Finally I can show to a meeting with a decent design laptop and not bringing my msi" have you seen the gs66 ?
AMD's straight up killing it. If only the OEMs weren't still giving them the shaft by still refusing to use Ryzen 4000 in ANY of their highest end laptops. It's simply insulting to my intelligence as a consumer.
I think intel is forcing OEM to use there chipset there were several leaks and comments by people working in these OEM
@@ChadPANDA... we have to wait a year or 2 then we'll see ... i think they'll be plenty of AMD laptops, just not laptops like the XPS
AMD is changing the market!! Hopefully Ryzen gets adopted by more OEMS
i think intel has secret agreement with OEMS to stop them from working with AMD. There was news intel was fined for this in the past.
@@faranocks No sorry, AMD chips were competitive for years. The only reason it hasn't shown as being competitive in laptops is because the laptops that AMD chips have been featured in were older models, or gimped with single channel memory, inferior cooling solutions or other garbage hardware choices.
The reality is that a Ryzen 5 2500U beats an Icelake i7 quadcore in an apples to apples test. And we are talking about 15W vs 25W with the Icelake boosting to 65W.
Basically Intel cannot compete with near double the average power usage compared to AMD's 14nm parts.... today it is utterly decimated by AMD's 7nm parts.
I just love how a 35watt rated CPU smokes 100 watts desktop CPU from Intel
These TDP ratings are different between Intel and AMD. Thats why i don't recommend comparing these numbers directly.
@@useruserov8668 True, they both rate TDP differently and can only be compared by real-world power draw measurements. However, the more obvious point of his/her comment is to remark that Ryzen is still far more efficient than its Intel counterparts, and this fact is proven by other reviews on the Zephyrus G14 and comparisons of desktop Ryzen CPUs vs Coffee Lake-S Refresh in general.
WOW ONLY 1500$ COOL EVEN A BUM CAN AFFORD THIS PC
@@itouchmazter5973 that's a pretty good deal for this. About the most powerful Ultrabook you can buy.
@Jaqen Sexy Jesus H'ghar what? There are numerous CPUs that use more than 100 watts... What are you talking about
Finally, a laptop that has good performance but also not look like a Glowing Godzilla. Looking forward to get this and let my mac just be mac.
It's still hideous
Looks like Mecha Godzilla and it's sick!
The display on this is garbage its too slow for gaming 40ms response time when other gaming laptops have 8ms or less for gaming 40ms makes G14 useless.
@@neosrt10 it's about 15-20ms. Still disappointing but not really the end of the world. If you're that serious about competitive gaming you wouldn't be using a 14 inch laptop screen in the first place.
@@donald2940 Not as bad as some other gaming laptops though.
intel : *visible confusion*
I like how they are still overcharging, even for the new release their 8 core does perform better but at that TDP and battery drain its useless.
@@nocturnal101ravenous6 they even ruined the higher end XPS models which are perfect in almost every other aspect
I was frustrated by Intel's ubiquitous offerings in laptops
There was hardly any difference between generations & their performance
Thank god we have AMD
It's time to drive intel out of the market
I actually didn't care because I was never tempted to get an AMD mobile cpu ... until now
Drive Intel out and AMD becomes the Tyrant...what we need is competition
Nah ARM is coming for both of them.
@@cesteres at the speed AMD and TSMC are getting power consumption down they x86 will be in the power bracket of ARM before ARM ever gets close to full x86 performance. There's already Ryzen Renoir at 15 Watts coming up with near desktop performance. Get it down a bit more and it fits into tablets a little more and x86 is in smartphones. I don't know what ARM is going to do frankly
Kishore S intel found themselves on a huge lead, so they started rationing out improvements. AMD was dying, and then Lisa Su gave us Ryzen. The world has never been the same since
Great review and a super fast laptop especially for gaming .... also love the led matrix on the back too !!! 🔥👍
how to function the anime matrix in the back?
In memoriam: Intel core - 2020 R.I.P
Well, for video editing the Intel Quick Sync is still much better
I have waited for this guys review, straight to the point and no exaggeration. Good job.
I think I read this article on the website before the video came... nice work mehn...
0:11 when you love your job as a computer so much that you name yourself "hardware". Mad respect
Thanks man, this was really helpful!
Awesome review! How well does it repel dust on the holes for the LED Matrix? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Seems like this could be my next laptop if need be. Will keep a tab on this for sure
100W TDP(35+-10W CPU +65W 7nm GPU) and USB-C charging. Ultraportable and ultrapowerful.
Laptop going to replace Desktop soon. Thanks to AMD.
True, AMD is nailing it
It won't replace a beefy, interchangeable desktop, but if you travel or wanna LAN on a portable machine, it's pretty fkin' good. I'm considering one myself.
@@LenniL-ob4ll Why not? My desktop has a i7-4770k and GTX 1070. The CPU in this laptop is scoring around 70% higher than that CPU and GPU is a bit better as well. The only thing a laptop lacks at this point is being able to upgrade CPU/GPU (without an eGPU). If my goal is just 1080p maxed out, I'd say this is a solid investment for someone wanting to sell their desktop and save space and money on their electric bill.
@@zachcarmichael699 I agree, it's leagues better than my i5-2500k/gtx970 combo and it's portable!
It won't defeat AMD's desktop counterpart though 😅
Great review and thanks for the Destiny 2 review with this device. Anyway you can test gaming time with the USB C charger? I fly a lot and I know the 180 watt charger won't give me power on a plane
I'm considering this for use with Photoshop and lightroom. Did you do any testing on the screen's colour gamut both Srgb and Adobe RGB?
Bye bye Intel
You looted us all these years
Good lord we can get rid of you
Then AMD will start looting. Monopoly is never good
And the price man the price for such amount of power
@@giveaway6314 having competition is good, hopefully Intel will improve if they want to keep up with AMD
@@giveaway6314 With the price amd is asking, you call that looting? We tolerated Intel for years, can't you give the other camp something to get back? R&D isn't free you know
@@alvinchan5934 I am saying if any one company dominate they will loot the public so competition is good
I've seen a lot of reviews of this laptop but it seems that you're the only one who got those good temperatures you said ( 3:25 ). Have you tweaked anything? Like thermal paste or maybe playing on max fan mode? Maybe I missed something
How do u see the display of fhd 130hz .. and the other one 60hz 2k?
Regarding response time and nits, and brightness?
was there any noticeable ghosting issues while playing games? some reviews mention it but others don't.
Hi! Did you guys check the screen? is it good for photo or video editing? Thank you
So glad i just ordered this! Been waiting since Jan for it!
When you think orders will open back up
NetBirth so it opened today and its sold out again on best buy and it took 2 weeks when the first wave was posted and sold out so id give it another two weeks to restock?
Tri Duong Shit i gotta keep an eye. I want this real bad im gonna finance it even
Good detailed review 👍
Would this be a good laptop for creative work such as Photoshop, Premiere, etc.? As you mentioned, it has a Pantone-graded screen. So I am curiois especially because I am looking for a computer with a good build and probably long lifespan in comparison to thin, style-forward ultrabooks.
Great review sir. The laptop AND the video 👌
Did you try Doom Eternal and REmake 3? If so, how did they run?
Can i upgrade the ram and the storage later on? Does the g14 have another slot for storage or m.2 or smthin?
I've heard that none of the G14 variants comes with a RGB keyboard but just a while backlit keyboard. But at 0:51 I can see that the keyboardi s flashing red. So is it RGB keyboard ? which variant is this laptop?
Which would u recommend the Lenovo Legion 5 or this laptop?
People have been releasing videos about this laptop for half a year now, will it be available anytime this decade?
How bad is the fan sound when your not gaming and your doing school work like typing in a college class, would it be too annoying? Also is the battery life good when doing light work?
Why couldn't I see normal temperatures? Why was it impossible to start Msi afterburner for fps monitors? If you are advertising, then talk about it.
Would you say that the display would be great for color correction or lightroom? I feel that the 1080 display will not display all the colors that a Macbook Pro or a Surface Laptop?
Hey, just asking. Isn't the 120hz model has response time issue?
Waiting for them price cuts that are bound to come in the summer. Happened with the asus zephyrus M series last year bet its gonna hapen with the g14 this year
So.. when and where can I preorder this?
I use a dongle currently to connect; hdmi, ethernet, keyboard, mouse and a thumb drive to my hp spectre (over thunderbolt) would this work on this laptop?
This specs is sick man! Do we have to expect overheat issues on this?
Wait a sec. In the video I can see how the keys are red but the production version only has white light right? I also can't find anything about RGB on Asus' website
I meeeaaaan, can it get any more perfect?
Well it could use a 2070 or better but other than that it seems pretty damn fine
HDR
Would be nice if the 1TB drive on the 2060 120hz model and price would be the same in other countries, and now corona made the webcam a bit less useless if you need to do remote work on it, but otherwise it does seem pretty amazing, and my phone can handle zoom I guess.
Webcam and keyboard lights but it's really not a big deal, I just bought it and it's blowing me away
how good is it with the gtx 1660 ti?
I have an external webcam, but it's audio is awful. Does the g14 at least have a build-in mic?
How loud is the fan of this laptop? I heard in some reviews that the fan is loud
Does the g14 come with a smaller power brick like it comes with the g15?
can you play games and stream at the same time ?
Will this specific model be also available in Europe?
I've read that the screen has a really poor screen response time of like 15+ ms. Can you confirm this? :/
From what I've heard the screen response time sucks, is that true?
The best laptop for 2020 and beyond... WOW AMD just WOW... Can't wait to get mine
cooool, @ 0:51 it looks like they replaced the white keyboard back led with a red one !
When can I order one though?!
Maybe it’s one of my choices to buy laptop this year
how do you buy one? their website doesn't have a store
Those holes scare me though. I've seen a lot of videos about this laptop but only one mentioned it properly (also stuck a needle in it, shout out to Dave2D) but it's still scary.
anyone know how to fix the mic on this thing? discord or anything else wont pick it up
Is 14inch too small to play competetively fps shooters? Or is it comfortable to play long hours
I’d love to see how it does in star citizen I have the strix 2 scar edition suffers from loud fans.
screen nits? fan noise dcb during idle and load? battery life?
When does this one come out?
Did you experience a high response time? I saw this was a problem with dave2d so I was wondering if it was a per panel type of thing because LTT never said anything about it
yeah and some ghosting
Ive weighed out the pros and cons and am real close to pulling the trigger on this. My final question/concern. Ive never liked inclined keyboards. Ive always found it more comfortable to game on a flat laying keyboard. Has anyone that uses there g14 noticed any hand fatigue ? Has the always inclined keyboard annoyed you so much it makes u wanna get rid if it ??
so between the G14 and Razer Blade, which would have better support?
So, buy zephyrus m (1660 ti) or wait for legion 5i?
Is Hardware your real name?? that's crazy, i love it!
Guys, any idea when its launching in India? I specifically want the Ryzen 9 variant.
Pretty impressed with mine so far, haven’t had a chance to actually game on it yet though, as I’ve been downloading things from my steam library and getting everything set up the way I want it. I’ll try out the new Doom tomorrow. By all indications I should be able to max everything out with the 2060 model. Here in California, where we have the occasional Public Safety power shut down, the power may go off but the gaming will continue.
heroicslug where did you buy from?
@@scott__-kz6sj they have some in stock on best buys today
Would this be cool for a student learning video editing?
(Would be editing PS4 footage)
Do the speakers have light?
Cool. Now, where can I buy it?
What is the colour accuracy of the display?
When will be ready to sell worldwide?
Should I buy this over asus zephyrus m GU502 having i7 9750h, 1660ti?
How is the response time of its screen?
this thing with a 2070 would be great so i could connect it with my 49" monitor when ever i want to play big and get decend frames
G15 has a 2070
"It's so good you won't miss the webcam" . Right. It's also so good, you won't miss keys backlight, slow-response screen and SD-card reader. Damn good review.
Asus is still one of the manufacturer kicking out new ideas and brave new devices
WHAT FPS COUNT APP DO THEY USE IN THIS VIDEO???
Is the response time really that bad?
How are you getting such good thermals? Every review i have seen puts the CPU at somewhere around 90 degrees while gaming. Please try games that are taxing on CPU n GPU both like watch dogs 2 and then see what the temps are.
There are different options for temps and fan speeds, on defaut cpu keeps around 90 degrees to keep fans silent but you can change it according to your preference
Macbook pro 13 vs asus zephyrus g14 ??
For more reliable years??
I can’t even express how excited I am to receive mine! Best Buy says mine arrives today (April 15th)
Bud keep me posted
@@rohanleander Leaving a comment as well for future reference :D
I wanna know too!
Yes! Please keep us posted. May I know your G14's specs?
How is the battery life going? I'm really skeptical about it
Any one know whether 1080p version (120 Hz) with RTX 2060 will be available in gray or not ?
Love the Akira reference
is the fan rlly loud?
Response time and colour?
Is any one else’s screen prone to slight screen burnings? Mine will sometimes burn in the hud of destiny 2. Idk why it does, but it baffles me because sometimes I play for less than an hour and burns still occur. If anyone knows anything, to help me or why it’s doing this please reach out
Does anyone know when it will drop or when k can preorder
I want this for Christmas.
Thank you AMD! Looking forward to this gaming machine.
Can you test for Linux compatibility?
Does it have an entirely aluminum body?
Where can I buy it at??
what’s the response time?
The G14 with the Ryzen 9, 16gb ram, RTX 2060, 1TB nvme is now $1200 at Best Buy on sale.
When is it launching in bangalore??price???
Has anyone had A/V sync problems with this computer? Just bought one for my daughter, and audio-video sync goes out of whack on a regular basis...this doesn’t happen with other computers or tablets in the house on the same wifi network.
6:09
Yeeet mah boi going to puberty
Good content btw
Can this laptop be charged via USB C port?
ive been looking forever for one of these where can i get one
They have in bestbuy
