ASUS Zephyrus G14 vs ASUS G16 - Choose Wisely!

[@omarcortes5754]

Modern big laptops are not as big as they used to be. Love having a big display and better cooling. The 16" makes more sense to me.

[@jonathanto99]

I think size is much less of a concern than weight nowadays. I would have happily purchased a bigger laptop if not for the added weight as size isn't really a concern since there are plenty of backpacks and laptops bags that can carry bigger laptops. With weight every ounce/gram added to your bag matters because they add up quickly.

This is so true. Instead of revolutionize the zephyrus lineup which is actually created for those who want to game but also need to travel a lot, they should just maintain and upgrading the flow series which are aimed towards creator who wants to game. I personally will like it to be honest if they create zephyrus M16 and G16 to be similar to zephyrus s17 2021 or zenbook 16x oled. That laptop is great in thermals and performance.

"Two, or even three years" 😂 I kept my last laptop for thirteen years. I expect closer to ten with my current Zephyrus M16. With the price of modern gaming laptops, I can't imagine writing off that cost in two years. I always remove stickers straight away. They just date your laptop.

[@MM-zo7q]

I commend you for that. How do you not feel the urge to upgrade when there are substantial generational improvements? (every 4 years or so)

[@l3v1ckUK]

I couldn't justify replacing a laptop that wasn't broken. Eventually what triggered the replacement was both the wired network port and the WiFi physical switch had stopped working, so no internet access. Sony make those things bullet proof. The urge was there to replace it, the budget wasn't. I had to save a lot for my current one, and I'll keep it a long time as the money isn't there to replace it frequently. It's also the reason I went for the M16. I expected the LCD screen to last longer than the OLED screen on other models.

[@MrCristoflanga]

Something important I realized when I saw them in person is that the pixels per inch on the G14 is way higher than the G16. The resolution is a little bit higher and the screen is smaller, so the density is higher. If your main work involves looking at text, like mine does, the extra ppi can make a big difference to readability and comfort.

[@DDL-n2u]

Just picked up last years G16 and having tried damn near everything its fantastic, the i7 and 4060 are plenty and it runs like a dream, and around 75c under load. My G14 was hot, my HP Omen Transcend with an i9 and 4070 I liked but it was literally louder than a car for almost any work you were doing and the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14.5" was nice and loved that OLED Screen but I prefer this 16. This chassis is great, the touchpad is better than most Windows rigs, the keyboard is quiet, the screen is solid, the speakers are ok and performance is great. All at a price about half the price of the 2024s. I'll happily go to the new Zephyrus design when the time comes. For now I'm really enjoying it and I'm pickier than hell!

The G14 makes for sense for my use case, and the extra RAM is icing on the cake.

[@johnathonwilson6027]

For Canada, there is G16 with Intel 9 ultra, 1tb and 32gb of RAM. One with a 4060 at $2599 and a 4070 at $2999. Is it worth the $400 CAD difference?

[@nikoace2]

no, since 4070 is undervolted but you might pick the amd version

what about fan noise? in idle/browsing/watch vids and while gaming?

[@abdelrahmanghonim1260]

Do both laptops offer the same performance, it's safe to assume that the larger laptop will offer more wattage to the gpu as well as provide better cooling which highly affects performance.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:13 *💼 The ASUS Zephyrus G14 is more portable and lighter, making it a better choice for those prioritizing mobility.* 00:25 *🚀 For higher-end GPU options (RTX 4080 or 4090), the G16 is the only choice; the G14 offers the RTX 4070 at a similar price point but with more RAM.* 01:06 *🧱 RAM is soldered onto the motherboard, making future upgrades impossible and making a higher initial RAM capacity (32GB) more desirable.* 02:00 *🔌 Port selection is mostly identical between models, with a notable difference in USB standards due to the processor type and the presence of a full-size SD card slot on the G16 versus a micro SD on the G14.* 03:36 *🎨 Color choice affects price differently for each model, with the white G16 costing $200 more and the white G14 being slightly cheaper than its black counterpart.* 04:16 *⌨️ The G16 offers more wrist room for typing, though the keyboard feel and travel distance are the same for both models.* 05:12 *🎵 Both laptops feature six speakers with impressive sound quality, adding value to the multimedia experience.* 05:54 *🖥️ The G16 has a larger and higher refresh rate display (240Hz) compared to the G14 (120Hz), making it more suitable for gaming.* 07:15 *💻 Performance comparison is complex due to different configurations, with the G16 model discussed having a more powerful GPU and CPU but similar RAM speeds.* 10:32 *🔧 Most components are soldered onto the motherboard, limiting repairability and upgrades, except for the Wi-Fi card.* 11:28 *🎮 The choice between the G14 and G16 depends on user needs, with the G16 being preferable for those prioritizing gaming and video creation on a larger display, and the G14 being more suited for frequent travelers seeking portability without sacrificing performance.* Made with HARPA AI

the battery life of g14 ( 10 hour) which you mentioned, is it at native resolution (2.8k) and 120hz refresh rate??

[@MatthewMoniz]

Native resolution 2.8k at 60hz

[@andyH_England]

Tests suggest 7-8 hours SOT on light tasks at 60% brightness. As soon as you hit the higher wattage workflows, that falls. For video streaming, you should get closer to 10 hours SOT.

[@avenuePad]

Another consideration for anyone involved in music production is notebookcheck scored the G14 much better than the G16 in terms of audio dpc latency. In fact, the G16 was not recommended for real time audio. I don't know if this is because of the AMD chip, but for this reason alone I will be going with the G14 4070 32GB.

[@RandomStuff-vn9bm]

When are they going to do an amd g16

[@rrrr2150]

oled should only be for TVs and phones. the taskbar and your most used app's menu bar are going to get burned to the screen in 2 years

[@andyH_England]

OLED is great for gaming and media watching, but office staff and some pro users will need to go to extra lengths to hide the taskbar and top app menu; otherwise, they will suffer burn-in, as you say.

[@rrrr2150]

They haven't launched yet. The G16 has been unveiled, but hasn't gone on sale yet. It starts at 1.85 lakh, but sadly that is without the OLED screen which is quite disappointing in 2024. The G14 hasn't launched yet. Probably May. You could look at the Omen Transcend 14 though

[@Burbanana]

hey Matthew, thanks for this video, good insights. I am personally looking for a 32GB Oled, 16 incch laptop. I really like last years Yoga Slim 7 7840S, but I can't really find a similar 16 inch alternative. Any tips? I'm a software dev so display, keyboard, build, battery, touchpad etc, it all has to be good for long sessions, also on the go, in my lap etc. The G16 here with 32GB and 4070 is a letdown because for 2600 it comes with IPS instead of OLED. Such a shame.

[@XmarvelsX]

G16 with rtx4070 and 32gb ram and 185h (nthere is also 155h which I skipped in favor of 185h for development) comes with oled as well for sure, ive ordered one

Wait for reviews of the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i with the core ultra processors and mini-LED screen. IMO OLED is still inferior to LCD when it comes to displaying text, due to the subpixel layout and burn in risk. OLED is better for gaming and watching content, but since your use is productivity I don't think mini-LED is inferior
