After 1 month with the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 RTX 4070 version, I have a pretty good picture of what's bad, and what's good (there's a LOT of good, and not a lot of bad :)).
I'll go pretty in-depth about some things in this video, so I hope I can help some people out with this!

Haha thank you so much :D
@@crimsontechyt Yeah im subbed just coz you feel so genuine like a real average consumer not like a pro who edits and says the same bs hehe
@@SlickyJeffy23 Thank you, i appreciate it :)
@@crimsontechyt buddy you made it interesting
I’m not even kidding, uninstalling Armoury Crate fixes almost every minor issue I had with my g16.. the fan noise is GONE. I can use it in class and program without disturbing anyone or embarrassing myself.
The default fan profiles are so stupidly active, even in silent mode, right?
Glad it helped :D
Thanks for this review! Just got my G14 (white) and been using it for almost 2 weeks now. It's my daily driver laptop for work and gaming. The build quality, display, keyboard, and trackpad are top-notch. I'm glad Asus just went sleek and premium with the Zephyrus this year, so it doesn't scream GAMING like other models. Plus, I can get 7-10 hours of productivity (light load) when I work outside. Love it!
Glad i could help!
I love the white version as well, is looks so sleek :o
Is it more like a white color, or actually silver? I havent had the chance to see one in person yet.
While im sad that they took away the 4080/4090, this redesign really is something else.
What power profile do you use to get that battery life? Or do you have a custom one :)
@@crimsontechyt The lid and body is more silver, while the keys are still white
Exactly, they name it white, but only the keycaps are white. The body is silvery-ish which I prefer more than just regular white. When using it on battery, the screen drops to 60Hz (about 50-60% brightness). I set GPU mode at 'optimized' so it uses only the integrated graphics on light load. I also set battery profile to battery saver. And yeah I can achieve amazing battery performance out of it! :) (The gray one looks dope tbh.)
Bro how much battery backup
@@crimsontechytthe white version easy dirty?
Did you do any video editing with this? And how long does the battery life last for general productivity use/office work (Google docs, web browsing, maybe a YT video playing in the background)?
Yes, i edited this video on it actually :)
Had no dropped frames with 4k playback and a couple of effects, so it's def good enough for my use case!
Got the silver one with the 4060 a month ago, really enjoying it!
Love the video, by far the best review I've seen but i have question about g helper. when you removed ac it had the anti oled burn in technologies which was a pixel refresh afk screen saver and was wondering if that is still enabled in g helper?
Thank you very much :)
The anti burn-in features are not handled by AC, but are rather built in to the display itself, and Windows settings. Inside AC, you can simply control them from 1 place. These settings are on by default, so you can install G-Helper right away if you'd want to.
Hey really enjoyed the review! I’m looking to get a laptop for college, gaming, and some other processing work, and this looked like a really good option. I’m mainly trying to get some serious power in a laptop while having it look like more of a regular laptop does, which is what the 2024 G14 does perfectly. Would you recommend this laptop for what I said above or would there be any other candidates that can fare just as well?
Thank you :)
If you havr the money for it, imo this is the best 14 inch laptop you can buy. It's slim, lightweight, looks NORMAL, and has a 90W 4070 in it, which is plenty fast enough for any modern game.
I'd say go for it :D
Thanks for this video! The 14 inch, thin and light, decent battery life gaming laptop market isn't huge, but this laptop seems to be one of the best, if not the best, option for me.
Sweet!
I think an in depth video about your G Helper settings and why/how you utilize them (did they help you achieve better battery life / performance) is a real Must. Otherwise ppl have to dive into asus G14 reddit and analyze all the tips scattered there for weeks. And you already have the experience, so....
You said you somewhow capped the CPU to 95% to save on battery for example....
I really enjoyed this, oddly satisfying music & dancing.
My only concern is the screen size, I'll be working away from home, where I use a 65" unit for gaming. Do you think I'd be better off with a 16" laptop?
Thank you! :D
If you're used to a bigger screen size, it might be a better option for a laptop for you. But do keep in mind that the weight increases significantly when you size-up a laptop. The G14 is a 2kg package when you include the charger, and the G16 is almost 3kg with the charger.
If carrying weight isnt an issue for you though, DEFINITELY get the G16. You get more performance, a bigger display, better cooling, better speakers, etc. :)
How Long is battery life When used normally?
During typical tasks like typing, does the keyboard often feel warm to the touch?
No, it doesnt even get warm during gaming. There's a third fan in the middle of the laptop that keeps the keyboard and palm rest cool, so you never really feel the heat where you touch it :)
Great video, love the vibe. Instant sub.
Thank you :D
Just ordered mine, I’ll be picking up later today!🎉
Wooo congratz, enjoy it :D
Completely feels like a user review. Great job!
Thank you :)
I have been considering this laptop ever since it came out and I think this review (and your other videos) has finally convinced me to go for it. Thank you!
I'm still on the fence about the 2024 G16 but i think the portability of the G14 will be better in most situations.
(Also having to pay an extra €1.100,00 for the G16 32gb ram definitely hurts!)
Glad i could help :D
Yeah the portability is such a huge positive for me too. I almost dont even feel it in my bag, and its really nice to carry around. I bet the G16 is really good as well, but i dont think there's enough of an upgrade to justify the price (except for the bigger display of course, but i dont mind it)
Hi, what about linux ? Do you try it ?
What settings are you using for gaming while unplugged? I just got the same model. For some reason when I lower the resolution it actually lowers fps. But if I use native resolution I get great frames but eats up battery like crazy.
I dont really game while unplugged since it drains tf out of the battery D:
If i would, i'd put it on Turbo mode or a similar custom profile for max performance. Naturally, the battery would only last like 1-2 hours tho.
If you want to prioritize battery life, put it in Eco (disables GPU), turn down brightness and the keyboard backlight, put it in silent mode, and enable Nvidia battery optimizer.
I've got a 4060 G14 recently and I found an annoying issue. When there's a high load game running, the internal speakers sound cracking and laggy. Not sure it's a hardware issue or software issue (I do use ghelper and tweak the CPU to 20W for balanced plan)
Can you make a similar video for the Zephyrus g16 (2024) rtx 4080 version?
which taskbar software do you use? looks so neat!
TranslucentTB or just translucent taskbar in the Microsoft Store :)
Do you have a strange crackling noise when running games? On my 4060, the plastic hinge of the display gets hot and it starts crackling
I only sometimes hear the voltage during heavy loads, but that only happens at the start while the fans start ramping up
May i ask you sir, how about the laptop temperatur. I have one with 4060 and i use it for gaming too but i think my laptop temperatur is hot espesialy in the midle up keybord, any sugestion about that sir, thank you
Keep in mind that AMD CPUs use as much thermanl headroom as possible, so chip temperatures at 90-95 degrees is normal!
You could set a custom fan profile, so that it cools it more aggressively. The top part of the laptop being hot is normal, as this happens with every gaming laptop, but the keyboard and palm rest should stay cool to the touch.
Love this in-depth revisit! How is the battery holding so far?
It's great! Being able to change power limits really helps to make it last longer :)
for someone who does a lot of rendering and 3d modeling with my laptop, but I also take my laptop with me all the time, would you recommend the G14 over the G16 (2024) when it comes to performance/portability?
I have a full review of the G16 and a comparison between the G14 and the G16 coming up, so stay tuned to see a full comparison :)
For the short answer:
The G16 is almost identical to the G14 in performance if you get the 4060 or 4070 model.
HOWEVER, the 4080 and 4090 G16 models are WAY more powerful than the G14.
So unless you get those higher end models, the G16 basically only gives you a better screen and speakers.
Can you please do a compare to DM RG4060-15NA46?
Hey man can you compare this to the 2023 lenovo legion slim 14.5
does it get hot and do the fans make lots of noise while playing ?
The CPU does get hot, but that's just AMDs thermal design, which always wants to hover around 90-95 degrees. However, you will BARELY feel it on the chassis. The cooling system is designed to handle it, so the keyboard deck (except up towards the screen obviosuly) will not feel uncomfortably hot to the touch. The fans do make noise while gaming, since its a full load application, but not loud at all compared to other gaming laptops.
If the noise is still too much, you could of course set a custom fan profile to change that to your liking :)
Great review Thanks
Thank you, glad it helped :)
What mice did you use at the beginning of the video?
The Razer Deathadder V3 Pro
Why Does asus g14 oled has no pwm screen flickering at low brightness? Since it is an inbuilt feature for oled displays?? Is your display special?
The G14 has built in features that prevent flickering at low brightness. It kind of is a "one of a kind" display, because i think this is the first time this technique has been used :D
Is it noticably hot when you use it on your lap? and does the screen wiggle a lot when using it like so?
No, the 3 fans keep it cool enough that i dont really feel it. If you have a full load (like gaming) for about an hour, your lower legs might start getting warm though.
The screen only wobbles if you touch it directly. Its very stable during normal use :)
@@crimsontechyt oh thats good to hear, i really want to get this but ive heard so much good and bad about it. im still on the fence about getting either the 4060 version of this or the legion slim 5 14". Ive heard a lot of bad things about asus but theres so many pros and cons and its making me very indecisive
I havent encountered anything bad yet with Asus, and I've had 4 laptops from them so far :)
The Legion is nice too, but to me it feels very clunky. The G14 feels like its built a lot better
Amazing review, I'm thinking of buying it but it's very expensive in my country, 2399€ with 32GB and RTX 4070.
I will wait to see if some stores lower the price or if I can get it on a discount.
Thanks for the in-depth review, it helped me to decide if I want this model or not xD
Thank you very much, glad it could help :)
Yeah, the retail prices are def a bit expensive. I got this one as an open box model and only pair 1750 for it, so i couldnt pass it up :D
If you can find it on a deal somewhere, i highly recommend it !
@@crimsontechytwhere you find that deal?
@@Noone-dh4bh Alternate.nl had 2 models available for 1750 a couple weeks back

now this is my kinda review! Gonna buy it definetly. Do you know if its possible to upgrade the 1TB storage
I'm glad you liked it :D
Yes, the SSD slot supports up to double sided M.2 SSDs (so atleast 8TB)
@@crimsontechyt wow is there only one slot or can i add a second one (sry im pc noob). And if yes is it hard for a beginner
No, this one only has 1 ssd slot, so you'd need to either do a clean windows install on the new drive, or clone the old drive's contents, but that's kinda tricky 🙃
@@crimsontechyt alright but first i gotta buy the laptop 😂
@@tideypods4808 Haha, gotta start somewhere!
Hey man, how is this one working for you? Ive been browsing the g14 reddit and people have said they've faced a lot of issues to the point they have to do it support on this everyday. Im torn between 2 choices and would really appreciate it if you could help out. I could either go for the g14 2024 4070 or i could go for a macbook air (cos it's heavily discounted rn) + a console/handheld. Now the thing is, i play a lot of valo/cs so that wont be possible on a handheld/console but that fits my budget and satisfies my gaming needs to a degree too. Or i just go with the g14 and deal with the problems. I do need a stable machine for daily use for School/personal stuff so i dont really wanna be tinkering with it everyday.
Very valid question :)
Subreddits are always a collection of every possible problem, so I wouldn't go off of that to check for the quality of a product (the same with the Razer subreddit, where is almost looks like EVERY Razer laptop has battery issues). In reality, defects happen around 0.5-1% time, so i wouldnt worry about it :)
What i always do when buying a new product is HEAVILY test everything out, and benchmark it for like an hour, just to make sure that it absolutely works. And if it doesnt, simply return it at the retailer you bought it from, before the return period ends!
As for your choice: i would NOT recommend switching to any MacOS device if you've always been on Windows, and do gaming on the side. The learning process takes long, and it'll be very annoying if you try to actually get anything done.
Hope i could help :D
@@crimsontechyt appreciate the reply! So i have used a macbook m1 pro extensively in the past and am more inclined towards stability and reliability. But the g14 seems like such a sick option with gaming too 😩. Could you tell what your benchmarking process is? Or maybe make a video for it?
@spaff_hazz Ohh then you should be familiar with MacOS :)
I've tried using an M1 MBA for a while, but I just kept missing the freedom of Windows and the ability to play games (which i do a lot xd).
My benchmarking process is just use is HEAVILY for a couple days, giving it the heaviest workloads (gaming, editing, CPU + GPU benchmarks while i dont use it, and fully discharging it and charging it up to 100% every day. I do a body bend test, press on the keys, touchpad, etc to test if anything is loose/screwed in right.
Then you'll know for SURE that it works.
If it shuts down unexpectedly, or makes creaking sounds while opening and closing or somth, you'll know it's defective, and your retailer should take it back (atleast here in Europe 🙃)
@@crimsontechyt yeah ik what you mean about the freedom. Well i still have some time to decide. I'm hoping the g14 4070 goes on sale like the 4060 did in the states, that'll totally make me inclined to buy it.
how much battery life can i expect with normal usage?(watching videos,office, etc)
8-10 hours or less, depending on your power profile, brightness, and use cases :)
How is the temperature of the laptop? I got mine yesterday, but I noticed the temperature get extremely hot when setting up windows 11 for the first time and other times with the charger in. Is this normal?
Temps shouldnt reach above 90 degrees, unless you're working on an ungodly large load.
During gaming my CPU and GPU stay around 80 degrees, and during normal use it doesnt get hot at all.
It should get hot during a Windows install, but def check the temps to see if it's not overheating (due to a possible defect)
@@crimsontechyt How do I check temps
Download HWinfo64, where you can see CPU and GPU temperatures, or just look in the Armoury Crate app, where you'll see CPU and GPU temps on the front page
Is the 16 GB of RAM enough to last a few years? I am considering this with the 4060, but the 16GB soldered RAM is making me reluctant. I want it to last atleast 4-5 years.
For me, I've only ever reached more than 16GB in Premiere Pro rendering, and Rust server loading (which sucks and is unoptimized).
So i haven't reached that limit yet in normal use.
I def think the need for 32gb is coming soon though, so im not buying any 16GB laptops anymore 🙃
@@crimsontechyt I'm an engineering student, and I regularly run simulation software like MATLAB, TCAD, ANSYS, often with a bunch of Chrome tabs open at the same time. While I don’t currently use particularly demanding software beyond these, I would like to future-proof my purchases as much as possible. It's sad that they don't offer a RAM upgrade option without charging so much.
You forgot to mention the battery life, how was it? how many hours did it usually average at ?
With normal use (so word and internet browsing/youtube and stuff), it reached around 8-10 hours with my custom silent profile
@@crimsontechyt Can I get your custom silent profile
I have a question. I’m going to peruse my undergraduation in computer science. Will choosing this laptop be a good idea to run some heavy programming and be good for gaming ? Programming is main priority and gaming comes second. I need it to last for a few years . If yes then do I get the g14 intel or AMD for my preference ?
Thanks
I'm in the exact situation, and I think that's a perfect choice :)
I'm in my 3rd semester rn, and it handled big C# programs, and massive C programs with ease. I use it as a docked PC at home for gaming, and I have no complaints there either.
The G14 only comes with AMD
@@crimsontechyt sounds like the perfect and the clear answer I needed. Thank you for the quick response. You got a new loyal subscriber now 🤝
@@crimsontechytdo you recommend me buying the 4060 or the 4070
Thank you :D
I'd recommend the 4070 model. It's a good 20% performance increase for not much more heat or money.
@@crimsontechyt so there’s the 16gb ram model with rtx 4060 and 32gb ram model with rtx 4070 right ? Is there a model with 16gb ram with rtx 4070 ? Sorry if I’m asking too many questions.

Me gusta por su portabilidad. Me recomiendas cambiar mi rog strix g16 4070 i7 13650hx por esta zephyrus g14 4060 r9 8945hs??
Crees que perderia o ganaria potencia??
Ya que yo uso revit, autocad y renders de arquitectura
Responde porfavor
You would lose performance, since the CPU and GPU in your G16 are a higher wattage than on the G14. There are some tradeoffs :)
@@crimsontechytseria un cambio notable? Esta g14 se me hace miy bonita y portable
The 4060 is around 10-20% slower than a full wattage 4070, so that's up to you if it's a noticeable downgrade in performance.
In all other factors (except the screen size), it would be a very nice upgrade though :)
Great video. You’ve successfully taken my fear of the unnecessary noisy fans away. I think I’ll pick one up now
The fans NEVER turn on during normal use with the custom silent profile i have. Everything stays nicely between 50 degrees too, so it's cool to the touch. I hate fan noise too, and this one is really nice imo :)
Thank you for this review, we needed this after a month to see if you still impressed by it or you were happy with the new device back then :D
However I have 3 questions:
1. Does the battery still last long, or has its lifespan been reduced?
2. If you sit in front of a fan or outdoor with regular wind (not a storm obviously :D) will the screen wobble ?
3. while moderate/heavy use but not playing game, does it get too hot to touch ? because I heard heating is an issue with Asus laptops
Thank you. I'm glad i could help :)
1. The battery life hasnt changed, and because i had the time to test different power profiles, i could actually make it last longer, from running the cpu at lower wattages. The customizeability is very handy for when you NEED the battery life.
2. No, the screen doesn't wobble from wind or outside factors (i live in the netherlands, so i've had plenty of wind to test it out xd). The only time it wobbles is if you touch it yourself.
3. With the default power profiles (so turbo for example), the CPU doesn't go higher than 90-95 degrees (which is normal). With custom profiles, you could set the fans at a higher speed (with more noise, though), which will keep it cooler. But to the touch, only the part above the keyboard is hot to the touch. The keyboard and the part below the keyboard do not get that hot at all, so you wont feel the heat.
@@crimsontechyt That's awesome! thank you for your response, one last question I forgot to ask, would be a great decision maker if you help me with an answer hehe, now in my razer blade 14 it gets hot because im a heavy user, but when it gets hot I set my fans speed to 5400 and it cools down almost instantly, so the area where you rest your palms gets uncomfortably hot, but within 5 minutes of setting fans to top speed it gets cooled down that you actually feel COLD air coming out of the keyboard which what I really love about this laptop, so is it the same case when it comes to the new G14 ? or does it have another scenario ?
The Blade downclocks its CPU slightly when putting it on manual fan mode, so that might partly be why it cools down so quickly :)
The G14 has a closed fan loop though, so you wont feel air coming out of the top through the keyboard. It does have 3 fans on the inside though (one that goes through the middle part of the chassis), so the keyboard deck NEVER gets hot in my experience (my Razer blade's chassis did get hot quickly, but i never knew why). If heat is ever an issue, you could simply set a more aggressive fan curve :)
@@crimsontechyt Awesome, I think I made my decision to give this device a try, thanks a lot for your help, looking forward for more awesome reviews you make, keep it up :D
Thank you, glad i could help :)
Thanks for this review. I wanted this one cause it's nice, and portability 👍👍👍but for editing the g16 is the one to go. I have the g16 32 go ram and rtx 4060 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for all these informations
Glad it helped :D
Very true 👌🏻
how did you get it in black!?!! i thought it was only in white so i got white
Haha they come in both colors here :)
I wonder about the battery life if I use it for work (office and web browsing) 🤔
Its really good! On my custom silent profile i get around 8-10 hours :)
screen recording lowers fps, record the screen with your camera during tests
What about laptops at 15 or 16 inches what's a good option?
Probably the G16 ngl hahaha, but im planning on reviewing one later next month maybe
the only problem with this laptop for me was the stupid hinges/wobbles. I end up bought a used 2023 razer blade 14, and dont regret it one bit, the extra performance is welcome but the hinges is just driving me crazy
I only notice it if i physically touch it, but never during normal use or gaming :o
@@crimsontechyt yea but if I notice it, it wont go away in my head :D. The razer blade 14 cant undervolt though, but I can limit the power which I do to 60W and it still come out with 17.1k in Cinebench R23 @ low 80s temp. I suspect Razer will have a better resale value too, but we'll see.
I like these type of reviews , are you selling this G14 by chance ?
Thank you :D
I'm keeping this one, since i found it for a *very* good price aha :)
How is gaming on this for fps, is the screen too small? Because im not sure whether to choose this or the bigger G16
OLED has near instant response times, so for quick and fluid motion, it's amazing.
A bigger screen will let you see further easier though.
If you only play close quarters competitive games like CS2 and COD, a smaller display is more than fine.
But for bigger games like Battlefield, a bigger screen really helps you spot far away things like snipers :)
Thanks. I normally play league and fps like overwatch 2, or fortnite. So i wasnt sure which size screen to get. Since where I am the 16 inch comes with a 4070 too, and the 14 comes with 4060, but there is a big cost increase like £700 in UK
Oof, that price difference is not worth it imo. Then i'd go for the cheaper option :)
@@crimsontechyt thanks!
Hi, what about the thermals under load? Does it get too hot? cpu gpu temp?
During gaming the CPU doesnt get hotter than 90-95 (so normal for AMD laptop chips), and the GPU doesnt go higher than about 80 during gaming.
That's in the normal Turbo fan profile, so you could get those temps down if you want to by running the fans at a higher speed, but there's not really any need to.
It's very good imo :)
@@crimsontechyt Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I'm trying to decide between new omen 14 or this. Though omen 14 is a slightly slow performance wise it seems to run cooler.
The Omen looks REALLY nice. But imo it's just too little performance for the price, especially compared to the G14.
@@crimsontechyt agreed. :3 but ever since the Asus fiasco I'm still unsure about rog.
Where did you get the sleeve? I want one :)
I think asus themselves sell it, but i bought it off of a local reseller (bol.com). I think its the sleeve for the Flow X13, but it fits this one perfectly :D
@@crimsontechyt Thank you so much
Dont they make a grey one with the 4060? I have a budget of $1599 and thinking about getting the 4060 model in eclipse grey. Cant find it anywhere

@@crimsontechyt Anyways thanks for such a good video and review on it. Enjoyed it
Thank you :D
Hey man I’ve been think about purchasing this laptop, is there any major concerns towards burn in or is asus able to combat this issue?
They're using Samsung panels, which retain all their anti burn-in functions from their previous displays, which means you could probably use it every day for 8 hours, and still not get burn-in after 5 years.
A lot of tests have been done around these, and even in the cheapest modern day OLEDs, burn-in is basically non-existant during normal use :)
Someone on CZcams kept an LG C1 on the same screen for 18 months, and still didnt get burn-in. And that's an OLD panel by now.
THAT BEING SAID:
I'd still auto-hide the taskbar if you're concerned about burn-in, or are a HEAVY user (screen on 24/7).
@@crimsontechyt thanks sm bro, appreciate it. I think I’ll stick to this laptop, im going to uni so it seems like the perfect option plus a little gaming.
i have zeph g16 2024 with the intel core ultra 9 185h and it's an amaing machine, but i think it'd been better if i'd waited for the amd version with 32g ram on board.
Can u do a compare with macbook pro m3 😭 im confused i need best speakers and best screen. I dont know wht is the best one. Haha
For that i would honestly just choose the OS that you're most familiar with, as that's the most important thing in any laptop. I dont currently have any M3 macs, but im planning on getting one soon to review it :)

Thank you! :D
I’ve been thinking about getting this laptop for awhile now but the only thing that’s keeping me from buying it is potential burn in
Oled burn in is not an issue anymore like it was 5 years ago. There's so many anti burn in techniques on modern panels that it takes a LONG time to notice any considerable difference.
So i wouldnt make that a deciding factor for your purchase :)
Hi, how long does the battery last like if I go to college would It hold up all day?
That's a tricky question because it depends on a lot of things. To get the most out of the battery, you need to do the following things:
- lower screen brightness, and set refresh rate to 60Hz
- Disable the dGPU by setting it to Eco mode
- Use the silent profile (or a custom one)
- Set the CPU power limit lower (like 25w or less)
- Don't run heavy programs
But it depends on which programs you need to use for school as well.
I can easily get 8-10 hours of usage with these settings while using light programs like Edge, Office, etc.
It should be good :)
@@crimsontechyt Ohh alright thank you very much, because I was just thinking of maybe getting one in the future
No problem :)
@@crimsontechyt Nice thank you, that's really helpful! For the CPU power limit, which one should I change, should I just set all 3 to 25w or less (SPL, sPPT, fPPT)?
The different power limits are a bit vague in meaning, so i cant really explain it haha :D
I just changed all 3, but for a more detailed explanation for what each one means, i would look it up on google
hey, can you link the wallpaper in 1:15 pls?
i think its the default windows 11 wallpaper
does the sleeve come with the laptop?
In some regions it does, but in most places you'll have to buy it seperately
I need it. If it has touchscreen then I can take notes
Unfortunately it doesnt have a touchscreen. The Flow X13 is VERY similar to this one, but it's 13 inches and DOES have a touchscreen. Maybe check that one out! (I also reviewed it)
Lods how long the battry life last?
It depends of what you're doing while using it, and how high your brightness, refresh rate, performance, etc. Is.
G14 or Legion 7i, which one do you prefer?
I havent had the Legion 7i in my hands yet, but aren't they 2 different sizes?
@@crimsontechyt Yea I'm just looking for a new laptop suggestion, I don't mind about the sizes.
For the 4060 version can u upgrade the ssd to 1tb?
Yes, it has a regular removable m.2 ssd, so you can put up to an 8tb ssd in there :)
@@crimsontechytit support double sided m2?
@@darkemperor5557 Yes, it does
Bro yo uso mucho autocad y sketchup aveces lumion, para estar en una biblioteca crees que suene muy fuerte los ventiladores?
No, with custom fan profiles, the fans dont get loud at all, and temps stay pretty low :)
Hey just bought this and am very new to computers. I’m wondering when to use the helper tool and how to know what fan controls to use and if it’s a necessity to install?
It's not really a necessity, but more a more lightweight, easier tool :)
First you'll need to uninstall Armoury crate and MyAsus from your laptop (just look up Armoury Crate Uninstaller from Google, and right click MyAsus in the windows search bar to uninstall it).
Then, go to the github page for G-Helper, and download the zip file. Unpack that zip-file, and open the exe inside. Keep it somewhere, and choose inside G-Helper to let it start with windows, so you dont have to manually start it everytime your laptop starts up.
Then you should be set :)
Are there programs I can Uninstaller,I play COD and it takes up a ton of space and I need more room. There's AMD software,asus stuff,Microsoft stuff,Nvidia stuff etc
You can uninstall every Asus app and replace it with G-Helper, but that doesn't take up *too* much space.
Some microsoft apps are essential, while others arent, and you NEED the AMD and Nvidia stuff to run games (or use the laptop in general).
Nothing preibstalled is very large, except for maybe Mcaffee (which you should remove anyways) :)
@@crimsontechyt micro update health tools, visual C ++ 2015-2022 (x86) and (x64), do I need either of these?
@@crimsontechyt OpenCL, OpenGL and Vulkan?
Yes, you definitely need all of those.
@@crimsontechyt OK, thankyou
Fan noise ? Battery life outside the charger brick? (games vs youtube)
My first review has more information :)
@@crimsontechyt i check it already but it has no battery life outside the charger and it has stationary fan noise , if lets say you work outside what would happen. Pushed to min fan option could lead to a heat. the rest 100% better than others has in its reviews
@goodstan1260 Thank you :)
The battery life test/results are at the end of the video.
It gets around 8-10 hours during normal use with my Silent fan profile, Eco mode, and brightness at 50%.
During normal use, the CPU doesnt really get above 50 degrees, so the fans never really turn on.
I dont recommend working outside if you live in a very hot country though, as 30+ degree weather in direct sunlight is bad for EVERY electronic device :)
@@crimsontechyt I check by time codes and I didn't see anything connected to battery life ;( so may be it was hidden in the other side of the review. My Asus ZenBook 14 (1165G) alwayse heat alwayse fun noise and without charger only 1h 6 min ...when I see reviews like 10 hours I'm shocked )) so it's first several months may be like that..I remember when I purchase it 1.5 years ago it was 3-4 hours at max . I'm looking around for a new laptop and this one seems a good choice or may be better wait Snapdragon Dell XPS ?
Windows on ARM is, unfortunately, still VERY unstable with x86 emulation, so i wouldn't go with snapdragon until they sort those things out. The XPS lineup is well built, but way too expensive for the little performance it offers.
Does a 4tb/8tb Ssd fit in the g14?
Yes, double sided drives fit as well :)
mine is the 4060 variant...love tho 🤓🤓
Same!!
Is yours white? Where'd you get it from?
@@rhmns63 It's eclipse grey. where are you from? It seems you're a Bengali, ain't you?
@@copymalty 🇧🇩
Thinking about getting the 4060 model in eclipse grey. Budget $1599. Cant find it in American market
@@rhmns63 Mine is white - I bought mine from Best Buy here in the US. I originally wanted the black one, but ended up getting the white one because the black is not available here in the US as far as I've seen, plus I got it on sale and at discount with an excellent condition Open-Box unit, plus I heard scratches are less visible on the white model.
Im a CS student and just got my G14 2024 for $150 less. I hope it is worth it.
Nice find, enjoy it!
Nice, I was able to get mine at ~$1,300. It was at a sale price of $1,450, and I got another ~$170 off by getting it Open-Box excellent condition. It was like new, with, as far as I could tell, just the seal broken, plastic wrap taken off the box and slightly cut off of the charger and possibly the keyboard sheet cover thing missing, but other than those minor things the laptop and charger appeared perfectly untouched and brand new! So definitely think it was a great deal and way to save some money. Usually I wouldn't buy anything Open-Box, but I had a bit of time to play with, and it saved me a decent amount of money. Glad I got it when I did since it hasn't went on sale since.
Happy with it so far!
I did the exact same thing, only ended up paying 1750€ for mine (thats a good price in europe haha), and im very happy with it :)
LOL i'm also a ComSci student and my laptop is TUF F16 and so far i don't experience any problem in any programming applications😂 i think G14 is a bit overkill for programming
@@nyahahahahaha2087 Hahaha i agree tho. I just love the sleek design and the display, simply gorgeous.
Hmmm, a profile call silent that can ramp to max fan soeed 😅
I mean you wouldnt want your laptop to start overheating if it does reach those temps, right? ;)
can we change the color of the keyboard
Yes, it's full RGB, but has only one lighting zone, so you can't pick a color per key
@@crimsontechyt Thank you so much for answering! do you think it’s worth buying for 2,200$? RTX 4060 version
@@aisu5969 hmmm 2200 is way too much for the 4060 model imo. The 4070 model is around that price rn
@@crimsontechyt not in my country unfortunately ☠️😭😭😭 only 4060 is avaliable 🥲
You said it has full fledged 4070 but it can't pe possible because full fledged 4070 consume 115 - 140 watts and it is very thin. If its true then how ?
The laptop RTX 4070 does not see any improvements when using more than 90-100 Watts of power. Nvidia capped voltage limits on a hardware level with the 40 series, so any GPU with more wattage than the max cant use it :(
So 14 inch laptops with a 4070 with 90-100 watts will perform the same as an 18 inch laptop with a 4070
@@crimsontechyt means those laptops who claim 140 watts ate lie 🤥. Do they have better cooling if they claim 140 watts ?
@d3athsaga218 Yes, for 40 series it's purely marketing 🥲
The bigger size does mean they have more cooling yes, but only the CPU can take advantage of that extra cooling (especially if it has a recent intel chip, which can perform CRAZY with all that extra power and thermal headroom).
Review the g16, compare the 2023 vs 2024 version.
Im planning to make a video on the G16 :)
@@crimsontechyt great
@@crimsontechyt The G16 is what I've been looking for but I can't decide if the difference between the 4080 and 4070 versions is significant enough?
The 4080 is A LOT faster than the 4070. It's like a 30-50% difference in performance. Absolutely get that one if you can
@@crimsontechyt how has the fan noise been for you? I know the 4080 comes with one less fan due to the vapor chamber but do you have any complaints about the noise from the three fan set up?
is this a laptop that you can use all day every day?
Yes, it has one of the best battery life of any Windows laptop with a dGPU :)
It doesnt come close to a modern Macbook of course, but those have ARM CPUs, so that doesnt really count.
@@crimsontechyt ok this seals the deal for me definitely getting it, thanks for the swift reply......i was also afraid of oled burn
Rip your Energy Star sticker 😆
HAHA it did NOT look good next to the others 😭
I love the unserious style of this video LOL
I really don't know what to do, Zephyrus G14 4070 32Gb OLED for €1899 or Zephyrus G16 4070 32GB IPS €1999, or Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14 16GB 4060 for €1199,- It is a laptop so I can game more around the house and friends/family trips etc.
The G16 has the bigger size, the Slim 5 has the cheaper price, and the G14 is the most powerful at the smallest size.
If you like a big screen, go for the G16. If you'd rather spend less money, go for the Slim 5.
I would pick the G14 over both any day :))
@@crimsontechyt only thing I didn’t like about the Slim 5 is the PWM flicker, and no VRR / G-Sync, I am really hating screen tearing. The G14 does feel kind a small when playing FPS games, or doesn’t? I am mostly playing cod on it, and sinlgeplayer open world games. The G16 I talk about got IPS, while I like OLED more, and the 16 got 240Hz while the G14 120Hz. I also got the new PG32UCDM OLED monitor and a 4090 desktop. So the laptop is really for gaming downstairs and sometimes at some friends.
@@Kaspar0vthe best one is the 2023 G14 with RTX 4090, but its very expensive at $2800 USD.
OLED has near instant response times, so for quick and fluid motion, it's amazing. A bigger screen will let you see further easier though. If you only play close quarters competitive games like CS2 and COD, a smaller display is more than fine. But for bigger games like Battlefield, a bigger screen really helps you spot far away things like snipers :)
I myself dont have an issue with 14 inches, except when needing to look really far (i'll just move closer to my screen lol)
OLED really is *that* much better than an LCD imo.
didnt knwo about g helper, it is so much better
ok you convinced me
HAHA thank you 😌
Why keep the stickers?
I mostly keep them until i want a cleaner look, then i take them all off :)
Bro. Can you do me a favor....please stop putting vids out about this laptop and convincing everyone to buy it until after the end of May when I get mine. I dont want Best Buy to sell out lol.
The music and the dude dancing was the best btw.
HAHA will do 🫡
And thank you :))
G-Helpeeeerrrrr!
going to buy the amd 16"
I have a review of the G16 coming up! :D
I agree, love mine.
Is it just me or is battlefield 1 super well optimized!? I remember playing it at Ultra 1080p 60+ FPS on a 1060 Max Q laptop - and the game looks better than most 2023 titles
I remember it running amazingly on my 1060 as well, it's just a great title overall :)
the oled burn in for me is just a huge turn off especially when your spending alot for it to just last at least 2 years
Oled burn in is not an issue anymore like it was 5 years ago. There's so many anti burn in techniques on modern panels that it takes a LONG time to notice any considerable difference
"1 Month Review" you shouldn't tell us what we already know from previous reviews like the specs and stuff. Tell us about your personal experience using it for example how's the fan noise, battery life with normal tasks, anything about the G14 that annoys you, how hot does it really get under load etc. These are some of the information we are more interested in after someone uses it for a month.
I don't have accurate readings for fan noise, so it would be a very subjective analysis for fan noise unfortunately. I spoke about battery life in the full review, when i did extensive tests on it, but i should have repeated those in this video.
I try to keep videos fresh each time, so that new viewers that may not have watched the older videos get all the info as well :)
As for annoyances, i really didnt have any with this laptop!
Normally i tell all the positives and negatives in reviews, but i actually didnt find any bad parts about this laptop after 1 month xd
@@crimsontechyt Fair enough. Does the fan noise drowns the speaker while gaming? Is it audible in normal tasks? I don't really need to know the decibels.
The fan noise is audible while gaming, but with my speakers at 40% with Dolby sound set on "Movie", the game's sound MORE than drowned out the fan noise. And it could get a whole lot louder, so that shouldn't be a huge concern. Of course headphones are always an option :D
During normal tasks in Silent mode, the fans don't even turn on, so it's really quiet.
This is A sus laptop
