I did buy a laptop cooler which helped tremendously when i game/stream/edit so i highly recommend getting one if u have this laptop.

[@moncarloona520]

@Matthew Wohltmann honestly it was w/e the highest rated 3 fan on amazon, maybe around $30-40. Definitely plug the power USB into a wall socket and not the USB port on the laptop, i think that was the biggest problem i had with laptop coolers in the past cuz they would just die out.

@@DerpMC i have had for about a month now and i can confirm it's handsdown the best laptop i have ever used. It's super light, the battery life is insane (almost 10 hours of web usage with over 12 tabs open), and everything just feels so fast and there are no compormises or bottlenecking, the thermals are so good staying at 50-54c for light use and jumps to 67-72 when gaming or doing heavy stuff, but never went above that (keep in mind i live in a relatively hot region) I would say that for gaming it does suffer a bit if you max out the settings in newer and less optimized games like Cyberpunk or Vallhala but with reasonable adjustments it can run anything at 60-100 fps and even at 1440p if you have a monitor for such resolution

i just bought this little powerhouse in part because of your videos about it. im very happy with it. the ryzen 9 does get hot, though. i would say anyone gaming on this should consider turning cpu boost off. it does noticeably reduce performance (i went from around 70 fps to 50 in cyberpunk max settings) but the temps went from 94 to 86 after about 45 minutes of playing. this beast doesnt break a sweat on less demanding games, though. me: legendary edition maxed out, through my 1440p monitor, framerate locked to 72 is barely more than idle for it.

[@one_step_sideways]

Have you considered repasting the laptop? Can you open up the laptop and change the thermal paste without voiding the warranty, if you don't have any warranty stickers on the laptop? I recommend you get the Cooler Master Mastergel Maker, don't use the liquid metal. Unless it already uses it... Which I doubt. Also try playing around with the Ryzen Controller software to limit the CPU to make it heat up less, and try Undervolting the GPU and/or downclocking the GPU (and reducing the voltage further if you do that). All that should really cool down your laptop.

If i could answer, the 5900HS and 3060 are so much more ahead of the 4900HS and the 2060. If you really want the anime matrix LED, go for last year's model. If you want the most power in a compact 14, get the 2021 model. An alternative is the Razer Blade 14, but it's spendy. I bought my G14 for $1560 USD after tax.

I've had the laptop for about 2 weeks and love it! I want to upgrade the ram and apply thermal paste just to get the device a little cooler when doing demanding task! So youtube community, what RAM would you recommend? Is thermal paste a difficult task? Should I have a professional do it and pay out of pocket? Have you disabled aggressive performance mode through the registry editor? If so, what have temperatures been for your G14?

[@Catchity]

Crucial's ram are the best for laptops though they are a bit expensive but if you can manage the budget then go for it. Changing thermal paste for an laptop is a tedious job because you have to remove most stuff, so if you know what you are doing then you should do it but if not just pay for someone to do it.

2 years ago, no one really care about the webcam, but nowadays, where many works from home and video conference almost every week if not days. I can't accept G14 as my only computer

[@FunniestFlicks]

I got last year model and I was pretty good but they had a lot of quality control problems. I hope they worked them out for this year.

[@godgirl001]

They really did. There is now a pg up and down button, build quality is up, they fixed the temperatures and with the armor crate you can lower it even further.

[@Aligatorxx3]

Apparently there are issues associated with replacing the m.2 ssd with a higher capacity one, where it malfunctions on battery power??

[@bluetech2809]

Maybe US prices are good but where I am this exact model is retailing for the equivalent of like $2400.

[@DickVanPaiton]

Does it turn the fans completely off when idling or browsing? Please let us know! Thx

[@DickVanPaiton]

@Isaaq Thank you very much for your answer but "believe" is not enough right now as this is a purchase decision for me. Can any owner or @The Everyday Dad possibly answer to that? Thx a lot!

[@copykaktus4193]

I’m torn between buying this or a Lenovo legion 5

[@THEelonmusk007]

Plzz plzz make a comparison vedio between G14 and G15 ...

[@GothicPiss]

I sold my 2020 G14 in November to purchase the m1 MacBook Air. Battery life, and windows in general is what absolutely ruined it for me unfortunately.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yeah if you need good battery life the M1’s are the absolute best.

[@skat3r430]

I got this because I’m a physics student. I need to run a lot of simulations so I hope the power of this laptop helps. And I also play games on the sodet

[@Roczamillion7777]

I bought last year’s model and it is a really good laptop. The only thing I don’t like about it is the fan noise. The fans are always spinning and there’s no way to turn them completely off even on idle. They are not loud on idle but they are audible.

[@one_step_sideways]

Try repasting the laptop. I recommend the Cooler Master Mastergel Maker thermal paste. And try to play around with the fan control. Also try undervolting the GPU and maybe downclocking it (and undervolting it further).

[@saubannaveed4505]

Is the one with 5800hs good?

[@jr0623]

I cant decide between this laptop or the Aorus 15g with 3060

[@paolofroiio]

Would you buy this is you were a trader? I don't play games on laptop (yet) but I just love this Zephyrus.

[@priyeshrana]

How does this laptop stand against ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (2021) ?

[@BlizzardCat]

Should I buy this one or the omen 15 3070 i5

[@handlemonium]

The Eluktronics MAG-15 and MAX-15 are also good options. They're both a little heavier than the G14 (4.2lb & 3.8lb vs. 3.5lb), but cost around the same. The Omen should be decent, but it's gonna be noticeably heavier to lug around than sub-4.5lb models.

[@BlizzardCat]

@@handlemonium thank you very much !!!

[@tony_cgivfx]

Preordered the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE 4k / 3080 instead though lol, good lord it's a beast, 3080 vram is very attractive for 3D creators.

[@jnhgmorphs8017]

Just bought it !

[@runksel]

Sorry about the WoW classic. Getting the laptop though.

[@utsavjayaswal4701]

Hey @everydayDad in your thumbnail what are these yellow and orange things......they r looking amazing

[@greenawayr08]

Yellow thing is Nintendo switch. Don't know about orange but guess it might be a power bank?

[@ripulse1839]

Hi, in comparison to the ROG strix G17 vid that you've made what is your stand in terms of productivity to the Zephyrus G14?

[@asikulasif7757]

hey!! I recently subbed your channel and I gotta say I love your videos. I need some urgent help. I will buy the RTX2060 version of this laptop. It is shame though that I can't go for the 2021 model. Even though I would love your thoughts on the 2020 variant of this laptop. (I have to buy Ryzen 9 4900HS RTX2060)

[@sorel5719]

Buy the new one.. the 2020 version got overheating problems

[@asikulasif7757]

@@sorel5719 I bought the m1 MacBook pro 8/512. I will mainly use adobe premiere pro and other video editing applications

[@one_step_sideways]

@@asikulasif7757 Adobe is still not optimized for ARM. You should have bought the G14, you are going to regret getting a Macbook in the long run. Watch Louis Rossmann's video on the M1 Macbook.
