In this comprehensive review, we dive deep into the Asus Republic of Gamers Zephyrus G14, a laptop that's caught our attention throughout 2021, 2022, and now 2023. We'll cover the pros and cons, helping you decide if it's the right choice for you.
Spec Options Galore
One standout feature this year is the array of spec options available. There's something for everyone from the RTX 4050 to the mighty 4090, along with various Ryzen configurations. These choices ensure you can tailor the laptop to your specific needs.
Pricing Structure Concerns
While the G14 continues to impress, there's a pricing shift that's worth considering. Removing Radeon variants means that matching the previous year's performance may require a higher-end model, significantly impacting your budget.
RAM and Display Enhancements
On the bright side, Asus has upped the ante with RAM. You can now expand up to 80GB, a substantial improvement over previous iterations. There's also the option of a mini LED display, offering improved color range and brightness, though with slightly reduced color accuracy.
Battery Life Excellence
One area where the G14 continues to shine is battery life. In Eco mode, it can deliver an impressive 12 hours of productivity or 11 hours of streaming, making it a reliable companion for on-the-go productivity.
Real-World Performance
Let's talk about real-world performance. In various software applications like Photoshop, After Effects, Blender, and more, we break down the differences between the RTX 4060 and 4090 models. RAM upgrades play a crucial role, so keep that in mind when making your decision.
Price vs. Performance
The price increase for higher-end models might give you pause. Is it worth the investment to match or surpass the performance of the previous year's Radeon models? We explore these questions in-depth to help you make an informed choice.
Editing Capabilities
For video editing enthusiasts, we break down the editing capabilities of both models, focusing on 4K and 6K exports in Premiere Pro. The results might surprise you, especially when comparing with last year's model.
Final Thoughts
In summary, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 remains a formidable laptop in 2023. However, the pricing shift and the absence of Radeon options raise some concerns. It's crucial to evaluate your specific needs and budget before making a decision.

Not really a 3 month later review... Benchmarks can be measured two days after purchase. I expected a video about your qualitative feedback after spending some time with the machine
Calling the 6700s the equivalent of 4060 with just 1 specific benchmark is really a stretch. In workflows where cuda cores make a hig difference, the 4060 beats the 6700s without breaking a sweat. We also haven't discussed gaming performance, where the 4060 routinely outperforms 6700S. The 6800S isn't even in the same ballpark as the 4070 and 4080, they're not comparable at all. I'm not convinced that the Radeon graphics were that great value.
True
Thanks for the update! Considering getting it myself
Thanks so much for the comparison with the RAM stick!!! Wow! You used it with all the benchmark tests right?
That 4090 model kicked butt. If we wait about 6 to 8 months that price will go on sale and that will be a great laptop to buy.
How much is it now? And how much percent would it go down by price according to Asus history?
@@eladbari check price at Best Buy
i wouldn't hold my breath. even last year's 2022 model hasn't gone down in price, unless you're willing to buy used but that's a different story
@@kenhew4641 but there were talks that the 2022 model was 1000$. Not 2-3k like 2023
@@kenhew4641 in Canada 2022 model gone down in price by $200-300 and is often on sale for another $100-200 off
Would have been the first choice if it wasn't so expensive in UK
oo lala. Was tempted to get the 4080 if it ever went on sale but I don't think I'll fully utilize it. I don't even play intensive games anymore. Thanks for the review, leaning towards the 4060 now.
Hi Ben just wanted to know what performance mode do you use for the benchmarks as I have the G14 2022
great video, i am looking for a new workstation to work with revit autodesk, did you make some researches for this kinda software and witch g14 model would you recommend? thans.
I can only assume they don’t want to sell any in the UK because the pricing compared to the US is criminal
Could you also review the 7735HS model with 4050? I know 7735HS is just rebrand 6800, but I kinda wanna know its performance and battery life with the update 4050. So far I don't think anyone have reviewed the based version of it. But it is interesting that some back to school programs are offering this spec, so kinda wanna know how it actually preforms.
Probably doesn't overheat!
Just got the 6700s model today and it is awesome... I mean, seriously. It has "almost" the same performance as my desktop PC (with an 6700XT), while having such a small form-factor... And that for around 1250 Euro... We have come far.
Hey how is the display/speaker of the model you chose?
And what bout the body is it plastic or metal?
And does all amd cause any software related issues?
I am also planning to buy the same and would like your honest review
Damn bro, you must really be living the life
Just picked up a Ryzen 9 7940HS RTX 4060…don’t intend to do much gaming at all but definitely some dev, virtualization, etc as well as being my daily driver. Pretty stoked on it
So..... I'm kind of surprised at the scores for solidworks for the 6700s. Where did they come from?
Nice video Ben, could you review the asus flow z13 with the i9 13th gen and rtx 4060 please
I love my g14 4090 with custom scar 16 175w bios. Absolute beast and mini led screen is fantastic. Silent mode eco with 25w max undervolt does my daily driving perfectly and get over 9hr battery life. Gaming with cooling pad and 150w capped get superb performance and temps never over 75 degrees on cpu or gpu. All that in a portable form factor weighing 1.7kg. Since I've bought it not used my custom loop 4090 desktop for gaming once
You never did a follow up with the m16
What annoys me is that they only sell like 3 current models in switzerland, from the around 20 different configurations.
And secoony,that they don't sell any option with the mini LED panel besides the 4090 version, at least in switzerland. Kind of sad, because that model costs over a months gross sallary.
What laptop would be best for a architect that primarily uses revit?
Hey, could you help me decide which variant should I go for?
Asus vivobook 16x
1. Ryzen 7 5800h
2. I5 12450h with rtx 2050
Need it for basic level video editing, photoshop & after effects.
Plus intel variant will cost me 8k more
I got a ram upgrade for the 2023 4060 and I’m happy. Machine runs faster and cooler as odd as that sounds.
WHERE IS BETTER, G14 Ryzen 7 7735HS 2023 WITH RTX 3050 OR G14 Ryzen 9 6900HS 2022 WITH RX6800S ? is there any rattle noise issue?
@5:25 - these score points for AE performance - they have no meaning cause what does it look like IRL to have a 60 points difference between laptops?
4090 setup for example would probably cost like 3000$ which is insane...
what battery charger should I get to replace g14 laptop asus 2023
Could you PUH-LEASE tell us how much Real Life performance gain there is in a 4070 setup (2023) vs. a 2022 setup with a 3070, in regards to After Effects + Davinci Resolve?
I got a feeling it's not that much different, yet the price just to 2023 is probably insane...am I right or wrong?
So I got this laptop and I'm loving it so far but have noticed when gaming it's not as smooth as my PS5 like for example rocket League shows I'm playing at 165 fps but for some reason it doesn't feel that smooth like feel some micro stuttering is there anything you recommend do?
Check "windowed mode borderless fullscreen fps bug"
This is an awesome laptop I got the 4060 version open box for $950, installed ghelper instead of asus software and its perfect, I use a 100w usbc cable and it runs all my games no issues, also toned the fans down and is now one of the quietest laptops i have ever had
I installed G-helper yesterday, it works perfectly.
Be aware, having a PC plugged on a USB-c might drain battery life because of discharging / charging battery in cycles.
@@enzoberry2251 is correct. When using the barrel connector, once the battery reaches 100% charge (or the maximum you set) it will start directly supplying power to the components as opposed to continuously charging the battery, which does damage to it. Using USB-C charging doesn't have this feature, so you should use the barrel connector if it's being plugged in for longer than just to charge it and take it off after a couple hours.
Thanks for the precision ! @@byte2848
Hey are you liking the laptop still ?
Anyone would recommend I buy the m16 base model or g14 base model? i don't usually travel that much so the weight doesn't matter but i'm curious which base model is worth the price for the performance
M16. Just an overall better computer. But will depend on your needs. Would also advise looking into the Lenovo 5i pro with similar price point and specs.
I'm using this. It's nice aesthetically and quite pricier. It run games so well as well
Any issues with it? I want to buy the previous model coz I can’t afford this one
@@BGXM95 no issues for mine. Previous one unsure.
@@NicasiusDeVries bless hopefully I won't get any issue with it
@@BGXM95I have the previous model for a year now, no issues very good laptop
@@BGXM95hey you bought it? I also plan to buy the previous year model
Where's the 4070 version reviews!?
tbh I am really curious about the asus tuf A16 as well. to see if it would be viable enough alternative
I just brought that laptop it's pretty solid! Maybe miles better with fsr 3.0 implementation on the AMD gpu
@@ThisisPartOne ah nice which cpu?
I want to buy g14 but it's super confusing because of many variant. Is it really suitable for student? Is it future proof as well?
is ssd upgradable?
Hi...im just wondering, how do you deal with the overheat? I just got mine week ago the 2022 version. It is unexpected for me since with only using the G14 for working and youtube, the heat is more than 84 degree. Im shock 😂
When using only youtube and working, are the fans loud or noticeable to those around you? Im a student that is looking at this laptop but I dont want to distract others during class
@@lels6821 yess...the sounds is pretty annoying for me, eventhough its not a problem for me. Only the overheat its makes me unease 😒
I have been hearing that AMD is focusing less on mobile gaming to some extent, would that affect any part of the usability and customer support/updates using it for the next 3-4 years, already being a year-old laptop as well? Thanks.
just buy it
then buy a new one when it comes out
Love to see that KJV Thompson chain reference Bible there!
bro turn the laptop face to the camera, we want to see the pc how it looks, we already know know how you look😂
I ended up getting the X16 instead because 1) the G14 still has a big bezel, and 2) the matte display makes it look rather cheap. I'm very happy with the X16, but I would be excited if they improved on the G14's display design.
The Alienware?
Fully disagree. The bezel is small and the screen looks very high quality.
The g14 has one of the best screens
does this have heating issues? planning to buy the 4060 variant
I have same question too. Did you bought it?
Are you really trying to suggest that this year's 4080 is comparable to the 6700s!?!? 😅
I'd lean more towards a RTX 4070 is the comparable.
My g14 died after 15/16 months. Buy the extra warranty on these.
what happened to it exactly? was it run hard for long durations? which GPU did you have?
who uses ANY screen at 20% brightness??
It's the garbage m.2 drive they provide that is the problem
:)

I hate that sticker. Makes it look cheap
