Really dislike how many companies are moving in the direction of soldered ram only with no room of upgradeability.

If we all listened to the comment section on every laptop review nobody would own a laptop 🫤

5:16 so they say they went proprietary because USBC can only do 240W and the ASUS connector can do 350W....but then the laptop itself only pulls 180W as an absolute maximum...so why didn't they just do USBC and make everyone's lives easier?

Just spotted these on a local site, in this region I see only 2 sku, with only difference being 4060 vs 4070 with both having 32gb, which is nice as it doesn't force you in to overpaying for the underpowered 4070

[tsunarun]

Thanks. I'm waiting for your review 👍👍👍
Can I use After effects on this g14????

[mattanXX]

D you know if it will take a 4tb NVME as a upgrade or double side chips on the NVME ?

[brendonspencer]

I just grabbed the 2023 model listed in the video. I'm looking forward to it arriving next week 😃

A reversible power connecter... The previous one literally rotated 360° how is this an upgrade

[ashthukral]

Hey @hardware Canucks quick question. I have been using silent mode with optimized setting in Armory Crate on battery (which means no dGPU) and on YT 4K playback I am not seeing more then 5 hours battery life on my 2024 G14 4070 model. My audio was turned up to 70% and brightness at 50%. This still seems a bit lower than you guys were getting.

Any thoughts?

[tirosc]

Wow, the power brick is now really so much smaller. Would totally pick it up given the OLED, way smaller power brick and overall improvements but my 2021 G15 still works great

[handlemonium]

Just nabbed a TUF A16 Advantage (7735HS + 7600S) used for 700 bucks -- a steal of value for the performance, upgradability, and non-gaming battery life.

Also G-helper brings back taskbar-accessible power profiles! Been enjoying it a ton over Armory Crate 😁

[MMaaz-tgxu]

Does it have any heating issues while gaming?

[KermenTheFrog]

Having 16GB on a $1600 laptop without upgradeable ram is pretty bad. 32GB should be a minimum

[saivishalvangala]

Is platinum white colour stain prone? Can we clean it easily unlike g14 (2023)model?

[tritonh]

Just got the 4070 32g version on sale at Best Buy for 1599. Amazing machine. Simple overclock this machine can play anything. The screen. Oled omg I am replaying a lot of old games just to see how it looks on this screen. Can’t beat the price 1599

What's that wallpaper you're using in the video? Just bought the Asus Zephyrus G14 :)

[bobbysworldoftech]

Still using my Zephyrus G14 (2022) and loving it! I do like the new design though. Thanks for the review!

[WaterWaffler]

I bought mine as soon as it came out, but now I'm sending it back to ASUS since I'm having tons of issues with lagging audio and the track-pad responding very slow. Mostly when running Unity but also just some basic browsing etc. Hopefully they can fix it, did anyone else have these issues or just me.

[vfyskri]

What backpack is shown in the video? Thanks for the great review of G14 and G16.

[saadd]

Does 14" laptop will be enough for programming without an extarnal monitor? Anybody known?
