I got the 4070, white/silver colour. It is absolutely fucking SUPERB, without any bias! I can play ANY game released right now on it, even on battery power (but only lasts like 90 minutes playing games...) and it's just generally amazing. Also do a bunch of my software programming stuff on it now, because it's just lovely to use and the keyboard is wicked. PS we can't hear you...

Amazing laptop for me as a student so far due to just how light it is for the power it packs. 3d rendering is comparable to my experience with macbook and the gaming portion is great (somehow cracked 110fps in fortnite on battery alone too?)

@@JayCutlerTalk With a good cooling pad, it still gets hot to the touch, but the temps it gets to arent dangerous for the hardware, i get around 40-50 C on idle, and around 70-75 in a game like cyberpunk 2077, however I do recommend lowering the voltage bc that was the main thing that causes the crazy temps if unregulated
I have had a Asus Rog Zephyrus G14 2021 model that had a WD SSD and Realtek Wifi Card. But this G14 2024 model has some SSD which appears to be local since the laptop hangs when it heats up. Also, the wifi card is also Mediatek. The SSD supports speeds of upto only 4900Mbps read and 3500Mbps write which is quiet low for a GEN 4.0 SSD. Also, the G14 2021 waked up from sleep in under 1 second but G14 2024 does not.
Wow thank you for the feedback! I’ve placed the link to an Amazon Canada store in the description. Same specs and hoping you can find one on sale at your area!
Why doesn’t a single reviewer talk about how freaking hot the surface of this thing gets? I can’t even touch the keyboard it’s like the surface of the sun.
I have been using 14 inch laptops all the time and Im considering buying a 16 inch one, but damn that g14 is sexy af. g16 is very expensive since I want the 32gb of ram that comes only with 4080 model. I guess I should wait for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 zephyrus g16 version that comes up to 4070 with 32gb of ram. Since youre using a macbook 16 inch is it portable enough ?
@@robertofigueroa9711 it is really good. And the ryzen ship is superior to the core ultra in every scenario. till now they haven't announced the price nor the release date. Hopefully it's coming out soon
@@walidheraz3309 Thanks bro, it would be just what I need as well, though if it doesn’t come out soon I’ll have to decide between the g14 or the Lenovo 7i 😵💫
Im using rog strix GTX 1650ti, decided to upgrade into G14, wich one do you recomend the 2024 or 2023? I know the anime matrix is rly cool, but i dont think its worth for the 2024 new features…
Ohhh, the 2023 has that awesome led back where you can customize it but I love simplicity and the portability of the 2024 model. I have no regrets but the only bad thing is the heat tbh. Otherwise , the G14 is insanity.
@@sasan89 hey! It’s a dream when using for daily tasks including browsing, light workloads to even 4K video watching. It’s so light and definitely doesn’t get half as hot when playing AAA games. I can 100% say that it sits super comfortable on my lap just before going to bed doing all the mentioned tasks. Hope this helps! Thanks for the view!
Yeah, I pulled the trigger coz it was on sale at a local computer store and was the last unit in the area province! If you can find it for a deal, id say for for it. The specs I got was perfect for me so even if it was "regular price", still believe its good value for what it is.
I recently got my own g14 zephyrus about two weeks ago, it’s my first gaming Laptop. I’ve been very concerned about how hot it gets while gaming, I was just wondering if 84 degrees Celsius is normal for gaming or should I get it looked at. Again it is my first gaming laptop so I don’t know if this is normal for it to get this hot?
Unfortunately for its size, that’s the literal physical setback is the heat. Recently i played Dave the Diver which wasn’t very graphic intensive and the laptop was fine. Then I purchased Mortal Kombat 1 on steam and for this, I had to keep airflow going. It’s a 14inch ultra slim laptop that unfortunately will have physical set backs like this. One suggestion is to underclock your gpu to lower its temp threshold which may even result in more fps!
Before i purchased the laptop, i also pondered whether 16GB was enough or if i should jump for the 32GB...To be honest; 16GB works flawlessly for daily tasks. I usually have ONE primary software running at a time like Adobe Premiere Pro, or Steam, or whatever, and hardly twice because i usually focus on one single item at a time. But even when i forgot to close down apps, i've never had any stutter issues or slow downs with my 16GB set up. Also, when browsing, i dont have more than 5 tabs open at a time. YMMV but i believe 16GB is good for a good while.
@@paolocee Thanks for your reply! As an engineering student, 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.
32gb would've been far better for me personally, but I've just dealt with it and anyway I saved $700. And, I came from a PC with only 8gb, so I'm just glad I have what I do :)
Heard about those and definitely hope Asus addresses these issues. They make truly cool stuff that is innovative and different like the Zephyrus Duo and the new G16. These things perform outstandingly well but on the other side; support is just as important since these devices are pushing the envelope of performance. Personally, I’ve had zero issues with all my Asus products so far; I know that good airflow when in heavy use is important; keep my devices up to date and secure, and simply just giving it proper TLC goes a long way. Hopefully these new G Laptops have improved since the last RMA round of issues with prior products. As for the laptop itself, I still recommend it. That’s my two cents. Thanks for the comment!
Is this the 4060 model? Im thinking about buying the 4060 model on thursday as a treat! I mostly just want to play fps games on it like team fortress 2 or non graphical games like roblox and maybe some higher end games.
Won’t even break a sweat at native resolution and highest settings for your games. Well optimized AAA games can even run at over 60fps. Hope this helps.
@@paolocee I was just a little nervous because of the 90Watts. Im sure its not that much different in FPS from 100 watts. And definitly should be faster than your average 3060 laptop
Hey dude, it provides up to 100W Of power which is sufficient enough to charge the laptop when not using at 100% like AAA gaming. Quite frankly, I’ve mainly used just the USB C since it’s so convenient. Thanks!
@@paolocee hey thanks bro for the info! also i wanna ask, if I game while plugged in Type C @100W, whats the power share between CPU & GPU, not gaming AAA Titles but games like Genshin, Wuthering Waves, CS2 & PUBG at Medium Graphic and how much FPS can I expect?
Hi, how are you able to record your laptop screen without it becoming all blurry or record the screen with max brightness and not have everything else surrounding it all turn black ?
Hey sorry for the late reply! Wow, I didn’t really think about it but I do set my cameras shutter speed to 60 frames per second since I shoot 30p video. It’s most likely matching the refresh rate of the monitor 😁 As for the surrounding areas not turning black, my focus point is specifically on the screen which then focuses exposure compensation based on the screen. I use a Sony Alpha A7 camera and it’s pretty advanced.
@@paolocee I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Ive messaged so many people but youre the only one to actually reply. I really like the style of your video. If you dont mind me asking about your setup, how are you setting the light and the light temps? I'm trying to watch a bunch of videos on proper lighting but I'm having a hard time figuring it out.
@@Hamzimza Hey for sure! I was in the same boat and I think the main main thing that made a massive difference in my shots is that NOW, I use one Key Light; the one I have is from Godox which has a "HoneyComb" attachment on it. This is very important because it gives that "Dramatic" look whenever the light is angled around 45 degrees. The temps I use normally are around the 5600k mark but I do have lights around the studio which can "Complement" the surrounding lighting. On my camera, I've got my aperture set to around F5 so that it get dim enough for me to edit it in Adobe Premiere to brighten up if needed without too much bokeh or blurring. Because cameras now are so good, especially full frame cameras, even when shooting in the dark, you can bring it up in post production. Finally, what you shoot, or the subject matters as well. The colours of what youre shooting should have items around it that complement the colours of the product to make it pop. My studio is dark on purpose so that all focus is on the product as much as possible. Hope this helps! Im genuinely excited to see your progress!
@@paolocee Thank you so much, I truly appreciate the help. I will work with what you've told me and see how it comes out. Love your style and looking forward to more videos.
Yeah, embarrassing. I thought it was balanced out but rushed it. Will definitely be better in the next videos. 👍 EDIT: The keyboard does NOT get too hot to use. In fact once you stop playing, the computer cools almost immediately actually.
@@paolocee No worries Thank you for what you do. I had the original G14 with the 2060 and it would burn my fingers on the WASD keys, I assume this newest iteration is better? I’m trying to save up for this laptop
Hi there, I’d say quite powerful. I’m not honestly a huge console gamer but if i have the capability of enjoying every PC game that ever existed, plus with emulation can eventually play PS5 games on it, I’d say the G14 is the better buy. Plus you can take it with you with that beautiful OLED screen 😅
When you are using the onboard screen for on the go gaming, do you wish for the 16 inch version, or is 14 inch fine? I play stuff like league of legends and overwatch so was wondering if the size difference would matter hugely on the go?
@@mobeen369I’ve got both a 16in laptop (MacBook Pro) and this G14 as my 14inch. I think the impact of how light and small a 14in laptop can be; let alone can play AAA games is mind blowing that I don’t even think about the size of the screen since the bezels are so slim; I can call it the new 15inch size standard and the 16inch laptops are now the 17inch standard. I get a lot done with the 14inch and think you should give it a try as well 😉
The decision Asus had to go with 16GB of RAM instead of 32GB as a minimum is atrocious. A fully loaded Windows system is already using 8.9GB of that, which is insane. Linux runs like a dream on mine though, hahaha
It depends on the games you play if you wanna know how hot it gets. For me, It only ever got super hot (like, it burns my lap) for me playing AAA games like Ghost of Tsushima. With RPGs and Lighter games like Dave the Diver, it was good to the touch at medium temperature. For ultra-light games, video, browsing, instagram etc, it is super cool to the touch; a completely different animal when on light use. TL:DR, if you use are in a scenario where youre using the RTX 4060, it will get hot. With the AMD integrated graphics, it is super cool.
Yeah, I used to think that way as well. However I do get a solid 2 hours around minimum with Ghost of Tsushima and more for lower demanding games. It’s not that bad.
@@thecowegg From other reviewers, you can get about 6-10 hours of battery time with everyday tasks. This is generally better than other 14 inch gaming laptops.
I prefer the 4060 primarily because it draws less power and when undervolted, will provide the power i need for this device - 4070 is better if you're planning to keep it plugged in at all times.
@@Virxslrx In my honest opinion, 100% yes to the Logitech. it was designed to be a mouse for Productivity and it definitely works that way but it's also an amazing, durable gaming mouse. Ive brought this mouse in all my trips around the world and despite its size, I was able to cram it in my bag and it just takes all the pounding. Years later, there is now a MX 3s Mouse which is the next step up, but mine has held on. Cant recommend it enough and yes, I bought it with my own money ;) Hope tjhis helps!
No. An rtx 2060 is decent but a laptop version max q variant is super underpowered and you don't get the latest Fram gen stuff with 30 or 40 series. See if you can find a cheap 3060 laptop for 900 dollars or less...thats worth it
@@homeland_fitness8431 well i found a laptop (Asus rog zephyrus G15) with rtx 3070 ryzen 9-5900hs and a 2k 165hz screen for 1000$ do you think its a good deal, imo i think this is the best i can get considring my budget (
Thanks for the view. I’m recommending it coz I love it overall. If you physically check the G14 in person, it’s amazing how a slim computer can even provide equivalent graphics power of an older 3060! My advice is to not focus on the immediate specification and adjust your expectations for a small laptop, designed primarily for portability. If you want full power, save the money and get an actual gaming desktop.✌️
The ram is soldered in, so what you buy is what you get. There’s only one ssd slot (which is already filled) so if you want to upgrade that then you’ll have to swap out the preexisting ssd and copy windows/your data over or reinstall it on the new one.
Yup well said. I opted for 16GB of RAM since I am using this primarily for portable gaming and light browsing for the most part; I never needed more. The SSD is just a 1TB M.2 2230 SSD, I had the urge to upgrade to a 2TB but with the included microSD card slot, I simply keep all my movies and temporary large files that I transfer between storage and this computer and just delete when im done with them! So therefore and I've never ran short of space. I really dont think you need a 2TB drive on this thing; I usually keep one or two AAA games installed followed by smaller games that are more casual and short. Thanks for the replies and feedback!
@@HATCH5T I think the weight (3.3 lbs) and good gaming performance makes the G14 a strong consideration. These new G14 and G16 laptops are basically the lightest 14/16 inch gaming laptops out right now without sacrificing too much in performance. Also a huge plus for me is just how much more subtle they are and not loudly screaming to everyone that they are gaming laptops.
Not disagreeing with you. I’ve heard about these issues and I’ve spoken to an ASUS rep about this since I am working on a collaboration with them. Your voice is heard!
@@geexd1 The fact that you can buy it does not mean that it is not overpriced, it is not very difficult to understand... Asus products are overrated, lately even Lenovo is better...

@@JayCutlerTalk With a good cooling pad, it still gets hot to the touch, but the temps it gets to arent dangerous for the hardware, i get around 40-50 C on idle, and around 70-75 in a game like cyberpunk 2077, however I do recommend lowering the voltage bc that was the main thing that causes the crazy temps if unregulated
Really nice content! Keep it up.
Thank You! Got tons of stuff to show and trying to find a good middle ground for speed and quality. Appreciate the feedback for sure!
I have had a Asus Rog Zephyrus G14 2021 model that had a WD SSD and Realtek Wifi Card. But this G14 2024 model has some SSD which appears to be local since the laptop hangs when it heats up. Also, the wifi card is also Mediatek. The SSD supports speeds of upto only 4900Mbps read and 3500Mbps write which is quiet low for a GEN 4.0 SSD. Also, the G14 2021 waked up from sleep in under 1 second but G14 2024 does not.
Thanks for the feedback; ive had no issues so far and everything runs great.
Good review but I disagree when you said 4070 is just a minimal gain compared to 4060. Watch side by side comparison on gaming using 4070 vs 4060.
Thanks for the feedback. I will check it out. I can’t imagine the amount of heat it would generate. Deep down I do wish I got the 4070 😅
@@paolocee what is the gain from a 4060 to 4070 please ?
u are insanely underrated love ur work also can u send the link for the laptop thx (the 4060 and black colour)
Wow thank you for the feedback! I’ve placed the link to an Amazon Canada store in the description. Same specs and hoping you can find one on sale at your area!
where did you get the black version i cant find it anywhere
@okanuluturk2186 it was available at the local computer shop near me. In Canada, black seems to be available along the white easily.
The screen wobble is something to keep in mind
Never had any issues with wobble on my G14. YMMV with this one I think.
Watching this on my 2024 G14 :D
Amazing! Hoping youre loving it one month later!
Why doesn’t a single reviewer talk about how freaking hot the surface of this thing gets? I can’t even touch the keyboard it’s like the surface of the sun.
How did you get the dark color, it looks really awesome.
There are two options for colour here in Canada. A white and dark grey and fortunately they had one in stock of the grey so I snagged it lol 😆
I love this laptop but I have to settle for my lenovo legion 7 pro i9 13 4080 ;(
Still a sick set up there, dude.
I have been using 14 inch laptops all the time and Im considering buying a 16 inch one, but damn that g14 is sexy af. g16 is very expensive since I want the 32gb of ram that comes only with 4080 model. I guess I should wait for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 zephyrus g16 version that comes up to 4070 with 32gb of ram. Since youre using a macbook 16 inch is it portable enough ?
Do you know when that G16 is dropping and what’s the price? It sound rlly good
@@robertofigueroa9711 it is really good. And the ryzen ship is superior to the core ultra in every scenario. till now they haven't announced the price nor the release date. Hopefully it's coming out soon
@@walidheraz3309 Thanks bro, it would be just what I need as well, though if it doesn’t come out soon I’ll have to decide between the g14 or the Lenovo 7i 😵💫
Really great content, keep it up.
Thank You! More and More videos im working on and aiming to improve every time.
Im using rog strix GTX 1650ti, decided to upgrade into G14, wich one do you recomend the 2024 or 2023? I know the anime matrix is rly cool, but i dont think its worth for the 2024 new features…
Ohhh, the 2023 has that awesome led back where you can customize it but I love simplicity and the portability of the 2024 model. I have no regrets but the only bad thing is the heat tbh. Otherwise , the G14 is insanity.
How hot does it get while using it for browsing or light workloads? Can you use it comfortably on your lap, or does it need to be put on the table?
@@sasan89 hey! It’s a dream when using for daily tasks including browsing, light workloads to even 4K video watching. It’s so light and definitely doesn’t get half as hot when playing AAA games. I can 100% say that it sits super comfortable on my lap just before going to bed doing all the mentioned tasks. Hope this helps! Thanks for the view!
Dope video 👌🏽
Dope feedback 👍
if i have the 2023 model should i choose to upgrade or save my money?
Honestly, if you’ve got a decent GPU, I’d keep it until a mobile version of the 5000 series comes up.
I cant wait for mine 😄 just waiting on it to go on sale on best buy
Yeah, I pulled the trigger coz it was on sale at a local computer store and was the last unit in the area province! If you can find it for a deal, id say for for it. The specs I got was perfect for me so even if it was "regular price", still believe its good value for what it is.
when will it go on sale?
Same I’ve been eyeing Best Buy everyday the g14 went on sale but I want the g16
@JOSERS999 G16 is sexy and worth getting if you really want a bigger screen. I’m sure it’ll go on sale very soon.
@@JOSERS999 G16 was on sale about 1-2 weeks ago (4070 model was down to $1500 from $2000). I am sure it will go on sale again soon.
I recently got my own g14 zephyrus about two weeks ago, it’s my first gaming Laptop. I’ve been very concerned about how hot it gets while gaming, I was just wondering if 84 degrees Celsius is normal for gaming or should I get it looked at. Again it is my first gaming laptop so I don’t know if this is normal for it to get this hot?
Unfortunately for its size, that’s the literal physical setback is the heat. Recently i played Dave the Diver which wasn’t very graphic intensive and the laptop was fine. Then I purchased Mortal Kombat 1 on steam and for this, I had to keep airflow going. It’s a 14inch ultra slim laptop that unfortunately will have physical set backs like this. One suggestion is to underclock your gpu to lower its temp threshold which may even result in more fps!
@@paolocee alright thanks 🙏
At 3:45 on taskbar, How did you put start button on left while the application icons in the middle?
Right click the task bar, task bar behaviours or properties, find the alignment of the start button and set to Center or middle
How is the gaming performance on zephyrus g14 24 battery compared to 16 macbook shown in video you have on battery.
Macbook wins a bit; but the games aren't comparable. Id say the G14 battery has decent battery life for AAA Gaming
How is your experience with only 16GB RAM? Is it more than enough for day to day tasks and even demanding tasks?
Before i purchased the laptop, i also pondered whether 16GB was enough or if i should jump for the 32GB...To be honest; 16GB works flawlessly for daily tasks. I usually have ONE primary software running at a time like Adobe Premiere Pro, or Steam, or whatever, and hardly twice because i usually focus on one single item at a time. But even when i forgot to close down apps, i've never had any stutter issues or slow downs with my 16GB set up. Also, when browsing, i dont have more than 5 tabs open at a time. YMMV but i believe 16GB is good for a good while.
@@paolocee Thanks for your reply!
As an engineering student, 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.
@SiddhantB9 I feel you. Perhaps getting the 32GB model works better for you overall. The device can literally be your daily driver 💪
32gb would've been far better for me personally, but I've just dealt with it and anyway I saved $700. And, I came from a PC with only 8gb, so I'm just glad I have what I do :)
@@paoloceehow is video editing? 4k footage? Attached or not to power? Lots of people are saying (without texting probably) that it will suck.
The music was distracting, would have been a better video without it
Thanks. Definitely a learning moment.
How about recommending this laptop when Asus doesn’t have rma issues.
Heard about those and definitely hope Asus addresses these issues. They make truly cool stuff that is innovative and different like the Zephyrus Duo and the new G16. These things perform outstandingly well but on the other side; support is just as important since these devices are pushing the envelope of performance.
Personally, I’ve had zero issues with all my Asus products so far; I know that good airflow when in heavy use is important; keep my devices up to date and secure, and simply just giving it proper TLC goes a long way. Hopefully these new G Laptops have improved since the last RMA round of issues with prior products.
As for the laptop itself, I still recommend it. That’s my two cents. Thanks for the comment!
would you say it’s good for engineers as well?
Pretty much. Even for heavy duty tasks, the i9 despite being under clocked to be on this form factor, is still quite powerful!
İs that touchpad clicky or vibrated like on macs?
Clicky. Definitely a mechanic system. Unlike the Mac, you can feel the trackpad press down
Can you test games like cs2,cod,fornite and minecraft ty❤️
I’ll try to test them in the next review video but those aren’t really games I play on the daily, maybe CS 2 😉
Is this the 4060 model? Im thinking about buying the 4060 model on thursday as a treat! I mostly just want to play fps games on it like team fortress 2 or non graphical games like roblox and maybe some higher end games.
Won’t even break a sweat at native resolution and highest settings for your games. Well optimized AAA games can even run at over 60fps. Hope this helps.
@@paolocee Aawesome thanks
@@paolocee I was just a little nervous because of the 90Watts. Im sure its not that much different in FPS from 100 watts. And definitly should be faster than your average 3060 laptop
what'sthe max power input from left side USB Type C 4.0? Since the power input from Charging Post is 180W
Hey dude, it provides up to 100W Of power which is sufficient enough to charge the laptop when not using at 100% like AAA gaming. Quite frankly, I’ve mainly used just the USB C since it’s so convenient. Thanks!
@@paolocee hey thanks bro for the info! also i wanna ask, if I game while plugged in Type C @100W, whats the power share between CPU & GPU, not gaming AAA Titles but games like Genshin, Wuthering Waves, CS2 & PUBG at Medium Graphic and how much FPS can I expect?
Just a Question...Are the Speakers More Bassier than the Ones on Macbook Pro M3 ??
No. Id say the Mac is definitely more balanced and the G14 is overall tad more on the mids. You'll get to appreciate it a ton regardless; trust me.
@@paolocee Thank your so Much bro 🤝🏻

Hi, how are you able to record your laptop screen without it becoming all blurry or record the screen with max brightness and not have everything else surrounding it all turn black ?
Hey sorry for the late reply! Wow, I didn’t really think about it but I do set my cameras shutter speed to 60 frames per second since I shoot 30p video. It’s most likely matching the refresh rate of the monitor 😁
As for the surrounding areas not turning black, my focus point is specifically on the screen which then focuses exposure compensation based on the screen. I use a Sony Alpha A7 camera and it’s pretty advanced.
@@paolocee I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Ive messaged so many people but youre the only one to actually reply. I really like the style of your video. If you dont mind me asking about your setup, how are you setting the light and the light temps? I'm trying to watch a bunch of videos on proper lighting but I'm having a hard time figuring it out.
@@Hamzimza Hey for sure! I was in the same boat and I think the main main thing that made a massive difference in my shots is that NOW, I use one Key Light; the one I have is from Godox which has a "HoneyComb" attachment on it. This is very important because it gives that "Dramatic" look whenever the light is angled around 45 degrees. The temps I use normally are around the 5600k mark but I do have lights around the studio which can "Complement" the surrounding lighting.
On my camera, I've got my aperture set to around F5 so that it get dim enough for me to edit it in Adobe Premiere to brighten up if needed without too much bokeh or blurring. Because cameras now are so good, especially full frame cameras, even when shooting in the dark, you can bring it up in post production.
Finally, what you shoot, or the subject matters as well. The colours of what youre shooting should have items around it that complement the colours of the product to make it pop. My studio is dark on purpose so that all focus is on the product as much as possible.
Hope this helps! Im genuinely excited to see your progress!
@@paolocee Thank you so much, I truly appreciate the help. I will work with what you've told me and see how it comes out. Love your style and looking forward to more videos.
@@Hamzimza Love to hear that! Thank You! Hoping to see your videos one day
Audio engineer here, The music is too loud compared to your voice. But amazing review otherwise.
Does the keyboard Get too hot while gaming?
Yeah, embarrassing. I thought it was balanced out but rushed it. Will definitely be better in the next videos. 👍
EDIT: The keyboard does NOT get too hot to use. In fact once you stop playing, the computer cools almost immediately actually.
@@paolocee No worries Thank you for what you do. I had the original G14 with the 2060 and it would burn my fingers on the WASD keys, I assume this newest iteration is better? I’m trying to save up for this laptop
How do you get the black on as a g14
Came this way, my friend
watching this on my g14 lol
🎉🎉🎉
hi, how powerful is this laptop compared to a ps5?
Hi there, I’d say quite powerful. I’m not honestly a huge console gamer but if i have the capability of enjoying every PC game that ever existed, plus with emulation can eventually play PS5 games on it, I’d say the G14 is the better buy. Plus you can take it with you with that beautiful OLED screen 😅
When you are using the onboard screen for on the go gaming, do you wish for the 16 inch version, or is 14 inch fine? I play stuff like league of legends and overwatch so was wondering if the size difference would matter hugely on the go?
@@mobeen369I’ve got both a 16in laptop (MacBook Pro) and this G14 as my 14inch. I think the impact of how light and small a 14in laptop can be; let alone can play AAA games is mind blowing that I don’t even think about the size of the screen since the bezels are so slim; I can call it the new 15inch size standard and the 16inch laptops are now the 17inch standard.
I get a lot done with the 14inch and think you should give it a try as well 😉
Thank you, that is very insightful, appreciate it
@@mobeen369 good luck! 🤞

Je déconseille asus j’ai acheté un ordinateur et impossible de faire la mise à jour et retourner deux fois et après enquêtes il m est revenu obsolète
Always research a few times to ensure you get what you need.
The decision Asus had to go with 16GB of RAM instead of 32GB as a minimum is atrocious. A fully loaded Windows system is already using 8.9GB of that, which is insane. Linux runs like a dream on mine though, hahaha
👍 agreed

@@paolocee Hahaha, it's all good, that's what my volume control is for. Lol. :)
what a wallpapper bro?
Does that colour pick up fingerprints?
Admittedly, the lid does tend to pick up fingerprints but not as sensitive as what you think. Sweaty palms will definitely leave some marks.
Any issues with crashes or stuttering with this laptop during gaming?
Zero so far. Even with the intense heat, its never crashed on me.
So it get hot huh, some ppl say it's cool to the touch, now idk...
It depends on the games you play if you wanna know how hot it gets.
For me, It only ever got super hot (like, it burns my lap) for me playing AAA games like Ghost of Tsushima. With RPGs and Lighter games like Dave the Diver, it was good to the touch at medium temperature. For ultra-light games, video, browsing, instagram etc, it is super cool to the touch; a completely different animal when on light use.
TL:DR, if you use are in a scenario where youre using the RTX 4060, it will get hot. With the AMD integrated graphics, it is super cool.
The 1000 th like ❤❤😅😊
Woohoo!! 🎉 You’re amazing!
One thing about gaming laptops are you need to keep them plugged in :(
Yeah, I used to think that way as well. However I do get a solid 2 hours around minimum with Ghost of Tsushima and more for lower demanding games. It’s not that bad.
@@paolocee if I don’t game, just browsing and occasional watching videos, how long would you say it’ll last?
@@thecowegg From other reviewers, you can get about 6-10 hours of battery time with everyday tasks. This is generally better than other 14 inch gaming laptops.
@@thecowegg on the G14 10 hours
@blastbottles pretty much!
Really expensive for my student ass, hope there are budget with this slim design 😢
Budget alternatives*
The TUF series laptops or even Lenovo series can be an amazing alternatives!
for me the rog logo is little too big for me
Yeah, it’s not too bad in person but unfortunately gaming laptops need that bit of flex.
Please explain GPU 4060>4070
I prefer the 4060 primarily because it draws less power and when undervolted, will provide the power i need for this device - 4070 is better if you're planning to keep it plugged in at all times.
Where is your mouse from?
@@Virxslrx Logitech MX 3 mouse. Looking to upgrade it soon but keeping an eye out…
@@paolocee would you recommend it? It looks nice and I bought the laptop already
@@Virxslrx In my honest opinion, 100% yes to the Logitech. it was designed to be a mouse for Productivity and it definitely works that way but it's also an amazing, durable gaming mouse. Ive brought this mouse in all my trips around the world and despite its size, I was able to cram it in my bag and it just takes all the pounding. Years later, there is now a MX 3s Mouse which is the next step up, but mine has held on. Cant recommend it enough and yes, I bought it with my own money ;) Hope tjhis helps!

Do yoy recommend me buying the r9 rtx 2060 max-q version for 725$ ?
No. An rtx 2060 is decent but a laptop version max q variant is super underpowered and you don't get the latest Fram gen stuff with 30 or 40 series. See if you can find a cheap 3060 laptop for 900 dollars or less...thats worth it

How do you play mario kart in pc?
Check out on youtube. There’s tons of ways!
I don't know why are you recommending this laptop.
Look at the graphics card TGP.
The card has been used that is not full power card.
Thanks for the view. I’m recommending it coz I love it overall. If you physically check the G14 in person, it’s amazing how a slim computer can even provide equivalent graphics power of an older 3060! My advice is to not focus on the immediate specification and adjust your expectations for a small laptop, designed primarily for portability. If you want full power, save the money and get an actual gaming desktop.✌️
Upgradability sir? I am confused between this and Legion 7i
The ram is soldered in, so what you buy is what you get. There’s only one ssd slot (which is already filled) so if you want to upgrade that then you’ll have to swap out the preexisting ssd and copy windows/your data over or reinstall it on the new one.
Yup well said. I opted for 16GB of RAM since I am using this primarily for portable gaming and light browsing for the most part; I never needed more.
The SSD is just a 1TB M.2 2230 SSD, I had the urge to upgrade to a 2TB but with the included microSD card slot, I simply keep all my movies and temporary large files that I transfer between storage and this computer and just delete when im done with them! So therefore and I've never ran short of space.
I really dont think you need a 2TB drive on this thing; I usually keep one or two AAA games installed followed by smaller games that are more casual and short. Thanks for the replies and feedback!
@@paolocee I am going to college so, Should I consider this laptop?
@HATCH5T yes. I would say so. The weight, the power, and that sexy screen will have your school sooooo much more fun and bearable to go through 🙂↔️
@@HATCH5T I think the weight (3.3 lbs) and good gaming performance makes the G14 a strong consideration. These new G14 and G16 laptops are basically the lightest 14/16 inch gaming laptops out right now without sacrificing too much in performance. Also a huge plus for me is just how much more subtle they are and not loudly screaming to everyone that they are gaming laptops.
Cinebench R24?
Check out Jarrod's review for cinebench results. I dont use it to that capacity unfortunately; just wanna set up and play on the go :)
