ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 Gaming Laptop: Enjoy everyday gaming with this ASUS notebook PC. The AMD Ryzen 9 processor and 16GB of RAM let you run graphics-heavy games smoothly, while the potent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics produce high-quality visuals on the 14-inch Full HD display. This ASUS notebook PC has 1TD SSD that shortens load times and offers ample storage.

RTINGS

Our pick for gaming is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022). It features an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads, and you can choose between an AMD Radeon RX 6700S or 6800S GPU. Both GPUs are powerful enough to provide a good gaming experience, and they're also suitable for production workloads like video editing and 3D animation. The laptop feels very well built even though it's mostly plastic, and it's available in two color schemes, Moonlight White or Eclipse Gray.

Performance-wise, the AMD Radeon RX 6700S can push fairly high frame rates, even at the display's native QHD+ resolution. For example, it reaches around 80 fps at high settings in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, with almost no noticeable stutter. The AMD Radeon RX 6800S is about 5 to 15% faster on average, so it may or may not be worth upgrading depending on the price. Thermal throttling is minimal, but the laptop does get hot and loud under load.

As for the display, you get a 16:10 QHD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and FreeSync support. It delivers a clear image in fast-moving scenes, and it has full coverage of the DCI P3 color space, making it well suited for content creation. Unlike the previous G14 from 2021, there's now a webcam, and ASUS has also added a Windows Hello&ndash;compatible IR camera for quick logins. There's plenty more to praise about the G14, but the main takeaway is that it's a well-rounded and versatile laptop that most people will be happy with.

tom's Hardware

You can use the same laptop for gaming and your studies. The Zephyrus G14, with its AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS and AMD Radeon RX6800S, delivers gaming-grade performance, but also has some features great for working on campus.

For instance, on our battery test, the Zephyrus lasted more than 10 and a half hours, which means you can go through long lecture halls or stints at the library without plugging in (unless you're gaming, of course). The AMD Advantage model has a 16:10 aspect ratio to show a bit more text, spreadsheets or other work than prior versions.

And while it goes without saying on most laptops, Asus brought the webcam back to this model, for when you need to work remotely or collaborate with others from your dorm room.

Read: Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review

If you don't want to spend too much on a premium gaming laptop like the Razer Blade 14 (2022), go with the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022). It sports a powerful 8-core AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU, and you can choose between an AMD Radeon RX 6700S or 6800S GPU. Both GPUs can push high frame rates to provide smooth gameplay, even in AAA games running at the display's native QHD resolution. As for the display itself, it has a 120Hz refresh rate and a fast response time to deliver a clear image in fast-moving scenes, and it supports FreeSync to reduce screen tearing. The laptop is only available with 1TB of storage, which isn't very much considering modern AAA titles typically take up more than 100GB each; however, the SSD is user-upgradeable, so you can just put in a larger drive.

The keyboard feels comfortable to type on and provides satisfying tactile feedback, and there are plenty of ports for peripherals and external displays. Its 720p webcam is decent if you want to stream, and it supports Windows Hello facial recognition, meaning you can log in quickly. As for battery life, its 76Wh battery lasts through an entire day of light use, but for gaming, you can expect it to last only a little over an hour, so you'll need to use it plugged in most of the time. It gets hot and loud under load, although you can change the fan and thermal profile at the cost of some performance loss.

Another option is the HP OMEN 16 (2022). It's a great alternative if you want a larger 16-inch screen or prefer an Intel/NVIDIA system. It has a better port selection, including an Ethernet port and Thunderbolt 4 support, and it's more upgradeable than the ASUS as you can replace both memory modules, and there are two storage slots, whereas the ASUS only has one user-replaceable memory module and one storage slot. The display doesn't get very bright, so it might not be the best option if you often use the laptop in very well-lit settings.

If you don't want to spend too much on a premium laptop like the Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2021), check out the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022). Yes, gaming laptops are excellent for video editing because there are many similarities for hardware requirements. It's particularly true with the G14, as it sports a sharp 16:10 QHD panel with full DCI P3 coverage. Its factory calibration is good, but you might want to fine-tune it before you do any color work. It has a powerful 8-core AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU, and you can choose between an AMD Radeon RX 6700S or 6800S GPU, both of which have enough horsepower to handle video editing.

There are a few downsides you should know about. First, this laptop gets hot and loud under load; you can change the fan settings if it bothers you, but at the cost of some performance loss. Second, the battery lasts a little over an hour when performing demanding tasks like video editing and gaming, meaning you'll have to keep the charger close by. Third, the USB-C ports support USB 3.2 Gen 2 standards, which is much slower than USB4 or Thunderbolt 4. ASUS promised an update that will add USB4 support, but there's no word on the update. Overall, although it doesn't feel as premium as the Apple laptop we recommend above, it's still an excellent laptop for video editing, and it can also double as your gaming PC.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 14" Gaming Laptop AMD Ryzen 9 16GB Memory NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q 1TB SSD Moonlight White GA401IV-BR9N6 - Best Buy

 3. GPU. The novicia RTX2060 performs very well. The integrated AMD graphics also work very well for programs that do not benefit from a discrete GPU

 AutoCAD is not a very good multithreaded app, so high clock rate translates to better performance. So, strictly for AutoCAD, an Intel 11th gen Core i7 or i9 might have been a better choice.

 Excellent magnesium alloy shell. Well put together. 2, CPU. The Ryazan 9 4900HS is a great performer, runs my main programs (AutoCAD, Dialux) well

 3. CPU clock rate. AutoCAD is not a very good multithreaded app, so high clock rate translates to better performance. So, strictly for AutoCAD, an Intel 11th gen Core i7 or i9 might have been a better choice

 4. Battery life. My other laptop is a 5 year old Asus Zenbook, which is nice, but this runs rings around it in all ways, the great battery life being one of them.  Cons: 1

Great laptop with a couple of caveats

 This is disappointing because most stores that sell the G14 offer a free copy  - no thunderbolt 3  Amazon has also increased the price by 10% since I last bought it a few weeks ago. Consider the price, and whether it's worth it for you. The price will likely go higher than it is now.

 If you are irritated by noise, this laptop is not for you.  - no free copy of assassin's Creed Valhalla.

Good laptop, but not perfect.

 Alienware m17, good bang for buck, but seems chunky with the big vent on the back. aesthetics are a little too techy for me.

Desktop Replacement/Gaming $1400-2000

I wanted something smaller for lugging to work and didn't have a lot of options so I went with the g14. The specs are ridiculous for it's size so I was expecting a hot laptop that sounded like it was preparing for liftoff when playing demanding games and that's what I got. I didn't expect some rather silly issues like it not wanting to sleep or hibernate and turning my laptop bag into a furnace. Other then that it's been a overpowered for it's size, good laptop

I personally own a g14 2021 and am more than satisfied

 Everything else is good but I expect to get what was advertised. I paid 2500.00 and I am just not okay with this. Make sure you’re getting what is described

 I’m giving this 3 stars only because the laptop is awesome now that I fixed the hardware issues

There’s a fix for Nvidia video card not detected

It was really heavy including the charger into my backpack was crazy amount of weight. I’m talking over 7.5 pounds. Ended up with an m16 zephyrus

Hi everyone! So I'm in a bit of a situation where I'm ultimately deciding between 2 laptops. I'm going to be using this laptop for gaming as well as video editing and photo editing (as well as whatever random hobby I just pick up lol), I've set my budget to be $2500. Of course less expensive is better, but if it's really worth it then I'm not opposed to reaching that cap. 

The first option is

- Lenovo Legion 7i gen 7 - 3070 ti, I7 12800hx, 32gb gddr5 ram, 2 TB ssd ~ $2100 (with coupons and rakuten)

I know realistically this is the safest and best option. I know this sub has a track record for loving the Legion models. For less money I could get this and have more storage off bat as well as the slew of quality of life features that come with the legion 7 series.

- HP Omen 17 (2022 model) - 3080 ti, I7 12800hx, 32gb gddr5 ram, 1tb ssd ~ $2440 (with student discount)

Lastly there's this one. It's so hard to find anything of use on the newer Omen laptops, especially the 17 inch ones and ones with a 3080 ti. I understand that price to performance on the 3080ti isn't nearly as good as the 3070ti but for the price of a 3080ti laptop this is by far the best bang for buck I've seen for the chip. Not only that but I'm hopeful that the cooling solution would be better than the other 2 simply due to it's size. What worries me most is the lack of Omen reviews and thermal benchmarks on this model. 

Do you guys think it's worth sacrificing the build quality and features that come with the Legion to spend a little over $300 more to get the Omen? The other thing is that there isn't too much info with these models and how well the cooling solutions perform. My brain wants to say that the Omen will be better at adequately cooling the system with lower noise levels due to it being a bigger chassis, but I really don't know how well the current omens handle their heat. I also don't know how the 7th gen of the 7i  handles heat, but to be fair I don't know if many do.

While I would love to wait and see Jarrod's Tech full review on the 7i, I'm going to have to order relatively soon because my abroad program will be starting soon.

If you guys have any experience with these models or at least with ones with similar specs I would love to hear your guy's experience and input on this and thank you! (Also sorry for writing a novel)

Need help deciding between 2 laptops

 The L5P’s are priced very nicely and can even find them with huge discounts making it the no brainer choice obviously. But nothing can really beat the g15’s performance to size, maybe razers laptops can beat it but comparing Intel to amd when it comes to gaming is a little bias.

If the Zephyrus m16 came in a 3070 I’m all countries I honestly think the legion wouldn’t compete as well. But the counter argument would be it’s price. The L5P’s are priced very nicely and can even find them with huge discounts making it the no brainer choice obviously. But nothing can really beat the g15’s performance to size, maybe razers laptops can beat it but comparing Intel to amd when it comes to gaming is a little bias

So my new video has made a lot of Lenovo fans mad.. To be fair, I am a little harsh on the Legion 5 Pro. On its own, it’s a great laptop. But in comparison to the G15 (depending on the price you find either for), those premium features Asus offers are just so nice to have. Speakers, touchpad, keyboard, battery life, fan curves, better Silent Mode, etc.

I’ve also tested games side by side on both machines and concluded (in my opinion) that the additional 40 watts in the L5P doesn’t seem to produce a linear increase in performance. The MUX switch does more for it than anything else, but when testing both in or out of hybrid mode against the other, they perform pretty equally! This just shows how important a mux switch can be over wattage. Asus, if you’re listening, please put MUX switches (or advanced optimus) in your laptops cause the G15 is absolutely amazing otherwise.

Link to video: https://youtu.be/-e9QkZotBE0

Here are my gaming benchmarks below. Obviously the big disadvantage here in the G15 is that you have to hook up to an external monitor to do the same thing that the L5P’s MUX switch does. But either way, dGPU mode is dGPU mode, so this is essentially comparing these two GPUs for what they're capable of. Also many L5P's have slower RAM timing, but mine did not so these machines both have the same RAM timings. Last thing, keep in mind that fps is barely different (sometimes worse and/or just very hard to configure correctly) with the L5P in 1440p so both are tested in their native resolution.

This one was odd but I'm throwing it in just because I thought it was weird how in 1080p on this game the G15 pulled ahead

My conclusion from testing? I don't believe there is a linear correlation between performance and GPU wattage. I think we're dealing with the law of diminishing returns here. I'd guess that 100-120 watts in the mobile RTX 3070 might be the sweet spot. These are just my thoughts though so please analyze this data and form your own conclusions. Getting defensive and angry isn't a good look on anyone.

My conclusion from testing? I don&#39;t believe there is a linear correlation between performance and GPU wattage. I think we&#39;re dealing with the law of diminishing returns here. I&#39;d guess that 100-120 watts in the mobile RTX 3070 might be the sweet spot. These are just my thoughts though so please analyze this data and form your own conclusions. Getting defensive and angry isn&#39;t a good look on anyone.

Asus Zephyrus G15 vs Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (Benchmarks)

 Gpu options for M16 are 3050Ti/3060/3070 due to the intel core i9 11th gen i9 11900H being a hotter more powerful chip. Subreddit: r/ZephyrusM16 shorter 5 hours battery life but if you use igpu only mode it could last maybe 6-7 hours.
