ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 Review

[@Evil_Chronic]

Did you disable Performance Boost? The hidden option in the Power Plans? You lose 1.3Ghz since it caps the CPU at 3.0Ghz, but you gain substantial heat loss. With Boost on I was hitting 90C in games. Now it’s mid 60-70C range. You can always turn it back on. r/ZephyrusG14 has all kinds of fixes for Temps, black screen, idle power draw, and just making the laptop a beast.

[@little_tofu]

Thanks for the insight. I’ve pinned your comment so others with the G14 can see! 😀

[@thatsreallyamoon]

Can confirm. Was looking on how to do this from day one. Works spectacular. And you can switch back to 4.3 GHz max with one click in your power settings when you need it. Such a good little beast.

[@bobbleheadxtreme3801]

I would luv to buy this laptop but I wanted to know since hot air dissipates on the screen over a long time period wouldn't it ruin the laptop .... I mean the screen would get warm and won't that effect the lifespan of the laptop?

[@little_tofu]

While it does dissipate hot air towards the screen, it also has 2 vents on either side of the laptop. Also, there's some vents that allows air to escape beneath the screen from the back too. I also never noticed that the screen was alarmingly hot to the touch so I'm not too worried about the longevity. 👍

[@imataylor214]

I have disabled the boost, bought a monitor and I run the G14 with lid closed, and I have propped the laptop up. I can run ultra settings on fallout76 and barely hitting mid 70°C. Laptop is incredible

[@AEsthetic-ob2fu]

I’ve been heavily researching the laptop and this video was recommended to me in my notifications. You convinced me! :)

[@little_tofu]

That's great to hear! Enjoy your new beast! 😀

[@Evil_Chronic]

If you get this laptop visit the subreddit. There are a bunch of improvements that you can do to get the most out of this laptop. It’s in the pinned comments. Edit: I should of stated I have White Ryzen 4900hs 120hz screen with the 2060 Max-Q. It’s a great laptop if you optimize the options.

[@Manuel-rl6um]

I can't believe you only have 113 subscribers. The videography was tastefully done. UX was amazing with the sections, red bars during the sound samples, zoom in during typing (and you really type not like others youtubers that just smash the keyboards with their fingers without writing anything and say "yeah, this is good"). It was also short and concise. Thanks!

[@skittlzism]

I bought my G14 about a month ago and i love it. the fingerprint sensor works every time (for me), yes it does get pretty hot and loud while gaming on it but i expected that considering what its got on the inside. If youre looking to buy this laptop i would strongly suggest getting one with as much RAM as possible because yes you can upgrade one of the RAM slots it wont be dual channel.

This is an excellent review man...seriously good job! I'd recommend increasing your audio slightly and keeping an eye on your levels from clip to clip, so that they match. Also your lighting could use an upgrade, but that is not a dealbreaker. it would just be nice if the lightning was better and is an afterthought when watching. Do you plan on doing more tech reviews? i'd be interested to see more from you. Glad i stumbled across this vid. A+ mate.

[@briandoering8898]

Having my G14 since May, I can tell you that it has some very serious quality issues and ASUS will not honor the warranties for the device if you happen to have a lemon. A lot of users are complaining that the the CPU fans are very cheap and are known to have winding noises due to faulty bearings. I did not have this issue at first but after a month of use it was a glaring problem that increasingly got worse over time. Also there are a number of driver issues with the device. Several users have simply returned the device for re-stocking due to ASUS failures as this has been reported multiple times on multiple forums. Updates have fixed some issues, but others still remain such as the speakers not working correctly with netflix sites, wifi connectivity issues, and fan controls being stuck at max spin speed even with no CPU or GPU load and temps in the mid 40's (idle temps). I have also noticed a small sputter on processes at times, especially when it starts to get hot. It's typically only half a second but it's definitely noticeable when playing games. Lastly with the CPU fan issue, ASUS refuses to admit its a hardware issue and wants to charge you nearly 300.00 usd to ship it or they try to shove it off to best buy geek squad support which is not available at all since launch of the product. Be aware, there are issues with this laptop and it was rushed

[@Elusian]

Good review! Thanks for pointing out the obvious about the screen tearing and the response time "issue". Yes its there but you'll only find it by actively looking for it. In normal usage its not noticable. Happy G14 User (4900HS, 1660TI, 1TB) here ;-) P.S.: Its useful to grab the 1 TB version since its running with an Intel m.2 NVME PCIe x4 while the 512 GB is only PCIE x2. Back then I ordered 2 different machines (couldnt made up my mind :P) and on the comparison it was noticable like booting up games such as GTA5 or programs like Sony Vegas with an bigger active project).

Usually I'd say you can't compare a desktop to a laptop, but side by side, the 4900hs benchmarks at about 80% of what the 3800x in my desktop puts out, which is amazing. The 2060 MaxQ however, is noticeably slower than my desktop 1070ti, because of the very restricted power and thus low frequency.

[@Leap623]

Video editing and production value are some of the better I've seen, well above your sub count. I do think your recording could be a little better, as your voice occasionally sounded a bit muffled (could be louder in general, especially next to the music test), and volume was a bit inconsistent between various recording clips. I also think that having a compact suite of games/software to run quick tests on (even like 3 games and 2 professional apps to benchmark on) would be helpful info, along with some temperature readings. I know this stuff can be very time-consuming while you're clearly already spending a lot of time with editing/production, and there are already other channels that have the time and manpower to do things like noise-normalized testing with a host of hardware across different games, but having at least a few numbers to throw around would make this a more valuable resource. Overall I'm really impressed by this review though, and I hope to see more stuff from you.

[@little_tofu]

I really appreciate your extensive feedback! I will take them into account for the future. 😊

Do you find with G14 in 2021 or still facing any issue while using it? Do you recommend to buy 2020 model Pls reply 🙏🙏

[@danielmisgana2672]

I’m tied between the g14, the razer blade 15, and the MSI GS65/75/66. Overall, the g14 does the best job of performance and portability, and it looks great, but it doesn’t have a built in webcam and I prefer a larger screen. Battery life is fantastic. The MSI laptops are great; solid performances and good battery life, but I’m not a fan of some of the build quality on them and I don’t have a lot of faith in MSI’s driver updates. The Razer blade is a gorgeous machine, the performance is perfect, it has a webcam, but the battery life is abysmal. If there was a way to upgrade the blade’s battery life to the g14’s standards, I’d get it in a heartbeat. Overall, G14: best battery Blade 15: best performance/build quality MSI GS 65/66/75: compromise

[@iamgame8069]

Great review

[@SorinVasilescu]

What I believe you didn't cover is the chassis build quality. I come from a 2015 MacBook so I'm accustomed to great chassis stiffness and build quality. I am happy to say that the G14 is, in my perception, no worse. The chassis is very stiff, keyboard deck flex is nonexistent and picking it up with one hand feels as sturdy as a brick. Also, I believe a magnesium chassis for this price point is exceptional, it's something that not even all of it Zephyrus siblings share. The display hinge is a bit wobbly, though, if you keep it in your lap or on a soft surface.

[@little_tofu]

Yes, the G14 has amazing build for such a laptop. Was also very surprised by how well the magnesium alloy chassis feels.

[@tranquil5892]

Good review, I'm watching this on my G14 and my only real complaint is just without an ethernet port my internet speeds effect my gaming experience more than anything in the computer's control.

Awesome review 👏. One of the best ones on the g14 there is. I have a question. Is there a battery difference between 1080hz 120hz panel and qhd 60 hz?

[@shaneblack1076]

Nice edit and review. Hard work deserves a sub 👌 Seen every single review of this laptop so far and what I find Is that its a game changer. Due to its unavailability in the UK thus far (HD 120hz model), I'm deciding whether to save up for the razer blade 15 advanced 2020 instead (i7 10th gen cpu 8 core 16 threads with 2070 super/2080 super max Q) or to pay an extra £400 on top of the G14 US Price just to import and deliver the Asus G14 lol 2 entirely different machines and specs. But they suit the same target audience. For me it's content creation, aestheticly pleasing to look at without looking too bold or being too heavy and both laptops have the most portable to performance ratio. A decent battery life and future proof for next gen gaming... With good thermals. 2 entirely different perspectives when choosing between these laptops. Pricing being the number 1 factor. Either way I'm sure either of my selections will give me a comfortable computing/gaming lifespan thanks to portability becoming a more viable option for PC gamers and creators alike.

[@little_tofu]

Thank you! I was also contemplating about the Razer, although in the end went for the G14 because the Blade isn’t readily available in my region. Both are fantastic looking laptops for sure, but the G14 just brings a very refreshing look to gaming laptops. I think even in a few years time, it will still look good! It’s hard to go wrong with either of them. 😀

I would say until the 10** series laptops released there was no such thing as a "Gaming Laptop", most of what people considered in that group were actually desktop replacements given the fact you could kill someone when thrown and shear size. On that note the Asus G14 is an excellent piece of engineering blowing away anything Apple has achieved since the Apple 2, but obviously doesn't sufferer the affects of being a really bad Apple Product with painfully below average utility for the size and weight.

[@Louise-vp7eb]

Hello! :-> Do you think that a G14 unit with a Ryzen 9 + GTX 1660 Ti would perform nearly as great? Hahaha I'm planning on buying one soon owo thanks in advance, sir!

[@little_tofu]

Hi! Based on the benchmark comparisons I've seen the 1660 Ti MQ is around 10-15% slower than the 2060 MQ: www.notebookcheck.net/GeForce-GTX-1660-Ti-Max-Q-vs-GeForce-RTX-2060-Max-Q_9832_9631.247598.0.html I would definitely go for the R7/RTX2060MQ combo if that is available, but still the R9/1660Ti is going to be very capable for such a small laptop. =)

Where can we buy the 1049$ model from? I can't seem to find it anywhere...

[@nocturnal101ravenous6]

Best Buy in the US. Europe has a different main vendor, and not all models were available at launch so you may have to wait till supply chains catch up.

Any idea how long this will last? My last gaming laptop was a Lenovo Y50 2014 which struggled in its 3 year. It has shit batteries and weighs a ton

[@little_tofu]

I think gaming laptops has moved a lot since 2014. So not just the G14 but most laptops you can find on the market these days are much better built and optimised for "gaming". So I think you will have a more enjoyable experience with a gaming laptop from 2020. 👍

[@n00bie96]

@@little_tofu any idea how long they will last, though? Like how many years until it becomes outdated

[@eroz019]

What model do you suggest for me? G14 or G15? I'm a graphic artist / gamer.

[@little_tofu]

As I don't have the G15 I can only speak on paper. As the G15 has practically identical specs, I would expect the performance to be quite similar. The G15 does have a higher refresh screen at 240Hz, although based on the specs I'm unsure if it will be able to hit those frames to really take advantage of that higher refresh. If you value build quality, the G14 uses more premium materials such as magnesium alloys whereas the G15 has some plastic panels. I would personally pick the G14 and consider a monitor for working or gaming at home. 👍

every time i press windows key a message pops up on the right saying “Win Key is disabled” anyone know a fix?

[@ragin206]

Go to armory crate and on the bottom right you might have accidently disabled the windows key icon

[@EmadAbbas89]

Great video So this is the best value laptop I can get for 1500$?

[@chillywilly9589]

I don't think it is the best value. It is a very well rounded laptop, super portable, powerful, and ok for gaming. Also it looks good too!

[@little_tofu]

I agree it might not be the best value if you’re just looking for straight performance. But I haven’t seen many laptops that looks as attractive as the G14 nor do they cover so many bases so well.

[@alfyashraf8818]

@littletofu could you suggest which laptop is the best below $1500? Thanks in advance.

[@little_tofu]

Sorry about the late response, completely missed your comment... I think it all depends on what you value. If build quality, battery life, portability is of high importance then the G14 is an excellent choice. (I've seen some models that have R74800HS/GTX1650TI/16GB/512GB/120Hz for a few dollars shy of $1500 after tax) As I haven't tried other laptops, I don't think I can accurately give my opinion. But I recommend taking a look at the MSI GS66 Stealth and Asus ROG G15. 👍

I feel like they had the real estate to add a web cam. What a bummer cuz it's a cracking machine this

[@PushaLee]

Anybody experiencing a popping sound ever few hours or so from the speakers? Have no idea how to fix this issue.

[@little_tofu]

I never experienced such an issue personally, so I suggest contacting Asus.

[@osaket]

Mate where did you get yours from? Are you in Australia?

[@little_tofu]

I got it from: bit.ly/2ZqfHqw

[@TheGreatArlei]

WOW This was one amazing review. I have a question though. As of now I can only find this laptop with an RTX 2060 Max Q online and there's little to no information as to how big a difference it is compared to a normal rtx 2060 or a 2070 max Q. I want this lap top mainly for 3D work. Rendering, simulations animations, etc. Is there anyone who could give me any information on this? thank you in advance!

[@little_tofu]

Check out this comparison by notebookcheck. They show a bunch of different metrics and benchmarks which could help you decide which is right for you. 👍 bit.ly/3eUBQlo Also, the highest end GPU that the G14 is available with is the 2060 Max Q. So you may need to consider an entirely different laptop if you need a more powerful GPU.
