I went from owning an M1 MacBook Air and a desktop PC with an RTX 3070 in it to this machine because I want to consolidate my computing needs into one device, and I'm blown away at how powerful this little machine is. Hooking it up to my external monitor and running Modern Warfare 2019 on it at over 100 FPS is mind-boggling. And it reminds me of a MacBook Pro form factor so much that I feel at home still.

I bought my G14 Ryzen 7 + 1660Ti half a year ago, and oh my god, how I love this machine. It's lightweight, it's powerful, it's amazing to write on. I can easily play almost everything on High/Ultra settings with at least 60fps, and the battery easily lasts 7-8h on a full charge. When I have to upgrade my laptop, most likely, I'll go for the newer version of G14.

I have a 2017 Razer Blade Stealth pretty much just for DIT and love everything about it but it’s bad trackpad and non backlit function keys.

I had this issue too, and I noticed when it happens as well. It happens when you have you yourube video or zoom running and background when you are doing something else.

Going bold and saying, "GO WITH WINDOWS" - lol! Great back and forth - I think when compared to the Macbook Pro M1 - the cost delta alone is persuasive, however, comparing with Macbook Air M1 and 16GB/1TB it's a bit tighter, however, G14 is still about 175 bucks cheaper than a loaded MBA M1. I keep going back and forth, I've been on the same journey as you - G14 and MBA M1 in hand - love em both, but I think the versatility of the G14, and overall GPU power inside may win the day for me despite the fan noise and lower battery life.

The fact I keep watching so many G14 2022 and MacBook Pro videos to see with one I pick for college, but I like playing games at least for holiday, weekends, free time I will leave my Xbox at home with my family anyways Bcuz they use it to watch movies so I barely play games on it I use my switch lite or my old laptop. I just keep going back to the Asus g14 even my friend said “you like games, you can’t play games on MacBook I did that error once never again”

[@MrAlimtc1005]

Me: Oh look! Let's get informed about MacBook! Video: @1:16 "... But I doo-doo my best" Me: I didn't see that coming..

I loved this comparison. I own MBP M1, I bought it when there was so much of hype of M1 chip, but I am utterly disappointed with the performance of this machine. There is love and hate relationship with MBP. I wanted to love it and wanted to keep it for long but now I am sure I will sell MBP and buy Asus G14.

[@Kangster101-PG3D]

I’m in the exact opposite predicament lol. Bought g14 and came with a mediatek wifi 6 card and ping spikes every couple seconds cannot play any competitive shooters bc of that and also fans keep turning off and on idk why as well as MacBook trackpad is so much better than the g14 so yeah

[@ExziTeUrT]

@@Kangster101-PG3D I can’t decide between a M2 MacBook Air and the G14. Is the trackpad that much worse on the G14? Can you also inform me about the speakers and the keyboard when compared to MacBook Air

[@Kangster101-PG3D]

@@ExziTeUrT The keyboard is actually really comfortable. The macbook defo wins in the trackpad and speaker department as the speakers on the macs r just way too good and the trackpad is much smaller than the g14 and the mac trackpad is much more comfortbale and easier to control

[@Kangster101-PG3D]

@@ExziTeUrT yw - btw meant to say trackpad on macs bigger yes more comfrotable

[@anerickso]

I was at Best But looking at the G14 models and the displays looked really bad to me, poor viewing angles, washed out colors, didn't seem like IPS quality, does anyone know if Best Buy provides models without the true displays?

[@hunbun101]

Got an open box g14 today it feels like a good buy

[@DrivableDesigns]

Where can I find the gray 2021 Zephyrus G14?

[@Ivakin81]

That's what I've been asking as well!!! Gray would be the best.

[@mikepetterson9906]

i just got mine at my best buy in IL.. The only one they had too 😱

[@jck_spw]

Can you compare with msi crosshair 15 🥺

[@laraetzen]

I wish Mac would come out with a gaming model

[@rubiksstars]

Never gonna happen buddy. Unless Apple decides to invest their money on their ‘gaming’ ecosystem.

[@bhaumikd]

Just got mine. Absolutely recommend it to anyone including those looking forward to mac pro 13.

[@pistachiodisguisey911]

wish more people talked about the qhd 120hz panel, it's really nice still getting great gaming and battery performance but had to import it from new zealand lol

[@vivekkumarsingh5704]

How can spreadsheet and ppt be better on Macbook man, excel runs better on Windows. MacOS office sucks.

[@TheBigBlueMarble]

Did you use Davinci Resolve 17.1 on the Mac?

[@kartikkaneriya649]

I listened about some problems. 1. Most of the time fingerprint sensor not working in singel touch. 2. Keyboard lights are very poor. 3. Display brightness is very poor. 4. Due to mate body too much heating on keyboard. Is this problem are true?

[@logan62097]

Most of these problems can be fixed with some adjustments. The keyboard lights are horrible, there is no fix for it. You can fix the chassis getting too hot by editing your fan curves in armory crate (ASUS Software). I saw in a g15 review that the brightness is low on that particular panel, but I’ve never heard anyone complain that it was too low on the 14 inch models. I’ve also never seen anyone have any real issues with fingerprint scanners, although I could see it happening with someone who has worked all of their lives in a manual labor job. My fathers hands hardly work with some touch screens due to his fingerprints being rubbed off almost entirely on some fingers.

[@kartikkaneriya649]

@@logan62097 thanks bro

[@ASDF-kz2zp]

That's on the 2020 version of the G14. This is the 2021. Which based on my research they've fixed all of those (except for the body heat, I don't know about that).

[@kartikkaneriya649]

@@ASDF-kz2zp ok bro thanks

[@Saturnax]

If apple made a silicon, portable fanless, gaming macbook air! It would be perfect.

[@googleprivacyfilter8480]

Great video EDD.

[@qinocine]

is it really matter the fan noise when rendering and editing. I'll get headphone. sorted. I don't know why people willing to sacrifice speed over fan noise? I don't get this
