Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2024 : Highly Recommended!

We need more "sleeper" gaming laptop design like this. It saved the lives of many grown adults out there, be it on campus, office, or cafes, from judgemental bombastic side-eyes around them. Screw performance-police audiences that fetishized TGP & thinks thin-and-light gaming laptop is a scam, this is not for them and that's okay.

[@paolocee]

Well said, my friend. I used to want the biggest, sharpest most BFG type laptop out there but I just couldn't realistically say it was nice to pull up with an 18inch Desktop replacement Alienware in the middle of a presentation. For these new laptops; I dubbed these sleeper laptops coz NOONE cared what I had on my lap; they just assumed it was a cheap-ish, office computer; until I popped up Ghost of Tsushima on the plane and that OLED screen made the whole cabin as bright as day. Get what makes you happy and what meets your needs, right? thanks for the chat and feedback!

Yes exactly this we dont need lighting rgb super led overwhelming design. we just need something lowkey to enjoy life ourself.

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?) Only issue is that i got it for 1899 dollars (4070 model) and wonder if i couldve gotten a better deal if id just waited a few months.

Thanks for the feedback! Fan does get loud but only when playing AAA games, in my experience, Ghost of Tsushima. “Lighter” games comparatively like Rocket League or Dave the Diver was quiet but noticeable from time to time vs the full speed with AAA games. I personally recommend the G14 even if the razer look like a good contender; plenty of power, ultra portable and the noise is not a deal breaker imo. Hope this helps.

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.

I was close to getting the Legion Slim but 14inch. 16 inch laptop, especially slim feel sooo much better these days so I cant blame you. I just needed something small and for this; I was blown away. If the Legionn Slim 14inch had GYSYNC, I probably wouldve gotten that.

you said 4060 better than 4070. For the exact reasons what about a 4050 one? (asus tuf has that config) I want a quiet laptop with a better battery life. Mainly run some online games, where 4050 should be enough

[@paolocee]

@@mgerim thanks for the view and question. 4050 is good as a minimum for sure. I like the 4060 because the 4070 shares the same architecture and with the 4060, you can use GHelper to undervolt (really easy) to help save battery, give better thermals and then overall performance. If you need more, simply revert or change back to default. You have the flexibility and best of both worlds....👍

How is your experience with only 16GB RAM? Is it more than enough for day to day tasks and even demanding tasks?

[@paolocee]

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.

[@SiddhantB9]

@@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.

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!

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!

[@HarshitKumarRajak]

@@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?

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.

Just bought it today, and its extremely hot when touching it. I tried playing a game and got this pop of of a candle which I assume means the fans needed to be stronger at the moment. Is anyone else experiencing that? What can I do to make it not get as hot?

[@paolocee]

I suggest downloading G Helper and learn some unvolting. There’s a lot of tutorials on the app That will help you with the thermal and even performance issues. 👍

[@OM-cv2yb]

Nothing you can do except getting a good coolpad and undervoltin the GPU and lose on the performance factor. I returned mine for this very reason, 75 on idle is crazy, 100 on heavy load is also crazy not to mention the fact that the exhaust vents will blow the hot air into the display to the point where the OLED starts to show white spots because of the heat.

[@cisco5081]

@@OM-cv2yb My solution was a cooling pad + under volting, now i get 60fps on pretty much all games while temps on both cpu and gpu stay under 75 degrees

[@cisco5081]

@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

[@Hamzimza]

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 ?

[@paolocee]

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.

[@Hamzimza]

@@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.

[@paolocee]

@@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!

[@Hamzimza]

@@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.

[@paolocee]

@@Hamzimza Love to hear that! Thank You! Hoping to see your videos one day

[@mobeen369]

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?

[@paolocee]

@@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

hi, how powerful is this laptop compared to a ps5?

[@paolocee]

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 😅

[@paolocee]

@@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!

Yes. I was heavily contemplating getting the 32GB but it wasn't available at the time and I really wanted the G14 for travel. Never looked back and never had a problem.

[@jonomatictv]

Does that colour pick up fingerprints?

[@paolocee]

Admittedly, the lid does tend to pick up fingerprints but not as sensitive as what you think. Sweaty palms will definitely leave some marks.

[@md.fardaushasanfaruk1568]

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.

[@paolocee]

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.✌️

[@HATCH5T]

Upgradability sir? I am confused between this and Legion 7i

[@andyquach7940]

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.

[@paolocee]

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]

@@paolocee I am going to college so, Should I consider this laptop?

[@paolocee]

@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 🙂‍↔️

[@kniceperson]

@@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.

[@mobeen369]

Any issues with crashes or stuttering with this laptop during gaming?

[@paolocee]

Zero so far. Even with the intense heat, its never crashed on me.

[@khalifa6413]

So it get hot huh, some ppl say it's cool to the touch, now idk...

[@paolocee]

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.

[@thecowegg]

One thing about gaming laptops are you need to keep them plugged in :(

[@paolocee]

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.
