They've gone TOO far - 2024 ROG Zephyrus G14

[@objection_your_honor]

Basically a 10 minute infomercial ad for the laptop.

[@FootieFixClips]

Lol

[@IamAkhundov]

at 4:50 he says that the new one is slightly more powerful than the last gen version man, i don't think it's an ad.

[@MehdiMahjoubi]

And what he didn't said: the SSD is the WD SN560.. very slow for a ROG Gaming/Creative/Whatever laptop

[@freshis16]

In this day and age, people can’t say they like a laptop without people thinking it is an ad. Like, why can’t he just like the laptop.

[@Dusty_B]

So what was the box supposed to do?

[@Animize]

Got the 2022 G14 this year for only 1200 Euros in a pretty good config. I am SO happy with it, especially for the price that I paid. It's super portable, well build and even the batterylife - if you don't game or cut videos, is decent. For me that new iteration would not have been something I would have considered due to the price difference. But for whomever wants to afford it, go for it... The 2 year old model is fantastic, so this must be even better. But I don't really like that they removed the Animatrix display, or more like made it that stripe... Yeah, it's just a Gimmick, but I actually love it.

[@AwesomeWikidStudios]

Daily drive that boy for over a year, it was great!! I only switched because I saw an OLED Aero on sale, and as a video editor/CG artist, the screen was unmatched. Still, I loved that boy, and I gave him to a friend of mine who needed a portable workstation/gaming PC.

[@swagatrout3075]

Daily driving the 2021 model g14. 1. I miss Animatrix 2. I love that they went with CNC aluminium for bottom part of the chassis, my magnesium alloy one if chipping itself. 3. I hope to see a smaller hinge lift this time around 🤞

[@bigbraintime5361]

What specs on it?

[@Deja117]

I imagine these will be 4090 x2 price minimum... But super quiet, portable, and a really nice display? Sounds worth it if you can afford it. :)

[@trypwyre9024]

The 4080 super will be the go to choice

[@frederickmiller5492]

didn't they say that the 2024 G14 was 4060/4070 only because of the thin chassis? I think the 4080 and 4090 live on in the 2023 body.

[@blinkguy4ever]

Obviously, the marketing team is doing a great job. They’re making this laptop so they can sell. I really don’t see why is that an issue?

[@stevenschoeler5380]

@@blinkguy4ever u will see the issue, once u need to make use of their customer service :D as a customer that used to have a 3100€ top of the line strix scar product, i can tell ya from my own experience. 1st and last asus product. their marketing and design is unmatched, but what u actually get is a big joke. the lenovo legion does far better in anything, features, cooling, noise, usage, bloatware (lol it a nightmare on asus), etc. just 3 examples: 1.) when u want to maintain ur Lenovo, u have a bios option that will deactivate the battery, so u are safe to work on it without the risk of causing a short. on the asus u can !only! physically disconnect the battery and have a nice spark when connecting it again, good luck doing this over and over. 2.) warranty void if you want to maintain the cpu/gpu in terms of repasting, ur not allowed to remove the heatsink by asus LOOOL. no problem on a lenovo, warranty still remains. 3.) asus hardware wont perform at its maximum without their armory crate bs software. guess what on a lenovo i dont need all that and even the powermode switching works without ANY lenovo software installed. BONUS! if you ever need to send ur laptop in, for maintainance, asus will not give u a replacement device, not even for their top of the line producs that u bought. guess what lenovo does? right, even for their 500€ laptop u get a replacement device if you ever need to send it in. thats how customer service works. what do you get on asus customer service? i asked for a replacement device 2 times and they simply ignored it, they didnt even say yes/no they just fkn ignored it. beside that, anytime u email with asus customer support, u have another person on the other end that does NOT read the email-history and good luck explaining over and over and over and over the same thing to different ppl. its just madness. all u are left with are copy paste answers that are made to suit the average user that has no clue about what hes doing. i got more than 20 yrs of experience with hardware. what does that mean? the average asus customer support has less skill than any 20 yrs old teenager these days that grew up with pcs. in fact my used 1k lenovo legoin 5 has not a single problem whatsoever, anything is just perfectly fine, while on that asus crap i had issues over and over within the 2 years it last. 2 or 3 months after the warranty expired, this asus laptop turned to e-waste (it died). from what i could find out, im not the only one that had the exact same experience with that strix scar bs, model g533qs with 5900hx/RTX3080 16GB/32GB Ram/2TB SSD.

[@Wynner3]

Watching this from a 2023 Asus G14 with RTX 4060. I already thought the laptop was great so it's nice to see them making it better.

[@FootieFixClips]

Ironic

[@frederickmiller5492]

I just bought the 2023 4060 model from BB - it dropped down to $999. At that price point I couldn't justify the newer model. The 2024 has soldered ram (yuck) and I've seen how much the screen wobbles. The older model also has a more powerful gpu. Guess it just depends on what specific users want.

[@fjorddenierbear4832]

Not ironic, coincidence

[@X1347C]

Disliked because there's no timestamp available, it's 2024 and these creators are still lazy enough to add timestamps.

[@EyemSoreel]

as someone who owns a 2023 G14, my only complaint is the trackpad, its great when it works but it does some strange things like make weird noises when you touch it or just over respond or under respond sometimes.

[@RobotPorter]

My problem with the G14 has always been heat. The form factor makes you want to use it as a daily. But in the past, they just got too hot for daily use. And then, give that amount of power, you start to notice the smaller screen. It's a bit of a steampunk device, i.e. it's trying to be something that the tech of today just can't manage, so it whirs, wheezes and gets very hot.

[@ChickenFriedCorgi]

Maybe this was an issue for older ones? I dailied a 2022 g14 for a good while without heat issues, at least as a chrome machine on quiet profile. Could play games for a good while without issue too with heat.

[@GriotDNB]

It's a bit of a mixed bag. I've got the maxed out 21 GeForce version and I still abuse it daily. I just clean the fans each 10 months or so, no repasting yet. Others have heat issues starting day one.

[@OwaisAhmedcooldude]

[@Rowdy_Raider]

In the video it shows that they have removed the hinge lift for a more conventional screen layout so stability of the laptop should be improved, hopefully with strong screen hinges but we will see when Asus stops blue balling with pre production models.

[@swagatrout3075]

​@@Rowdy_Raider I noticed that too and on checking there website they seem to have removed the ergolift replacing it with seath hinge design so no more lift I guess. idk how I should feel about this hmmm!

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

That unboxing experience is top notch.

[@aruce9]

The zephyrus g14 looks rather sexy for an Asus gaming laptop. Doubling down on what works best for the zephyrus and the screen looks way better than the 2021 or 2022 versions. The trackpad looks as big as it ever will be and gives MacBooks a run for their money. The display looks even sharper but also very vibrant. Honestly razer has a very viable competitor in terms of the g14/g16.

[@rick5078]

The most important shot, for me at least, is missing from this video. One of the most important things for me to see before I can even consider buying a certain laptop, is the internals. One good view of the internals answers so many important questions. Is the charge port soldered to the board or not? Are there extra storage slots available? Is the ram soldered to the board, or is it upgradeable? because the "on board" reference on the specs page does not bode well. All of these things are so very important and impact the long term usefulness, repairability and upgradeability a heck of a lot.

[@rick5078]

yeah, looking at the specs page, 16gb x 2 on board, max 32gb capacity, that ram is soldered to the board! Making these laptops just as terrible as recent macbooks. (8gbx2 16gb max in case of the rtx4070 version of the g16) A definite DO NOT BUY in my book.

[@whyamievenhere1334]

​@@rick5078I only use a laptop for a couple years then upgraded so I don't really need upgradable ram

[@rick5078]

@@whyamievenhere1334 the baked on ram is usually not the best kind of ram and I would definitely want to be able to choose what ram my laptop has. But more than that, the baked on ram fails very fast, within a couple of years usually, especially in gaming laptops. The solder connections get broken over time from the constant heating and cooling of the laptop.

G14 2024 is 2300 euro here and the legion slim 5 14” is 1300 for a similar setup. Would the zephyrus really be worth that much extra? It looks slightly better though i’m not a fan of the diagonal strip on top.

[@aliginthahouse1]

good question, depends on small matters if you're okay with no rgb on slim 14, worse speakers, worse build (but still good enough), no Gsync, slightly bigger footprint and I think the oled on slim 14 has less brightness as well but not sure. G14 goes up to 4070 while slim 14's max config is 4060. So again, depends on small matters wether it's worth it for you to almost pay the double

The xps 14 is a great laptop but a shitty gaming laptop. Even though it technically has a Nvidia GPU, it doesn't deliver enough power to use it at the full potential. The pricing for Dell in general, but especially the xps models, is too high. In order to get the specs of the g14 flagship, you will be spending 300 dollars more for the xps. The xps looks nicer in my opinion but you are paying more for less.
