The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 has a different look this year, but it's just one of the many upgrades that ASUS have put in to really support the gaming experience. While the specs with the AMD Ryzen 9 and RTX 4060 are familiar, an OLED display with VRR and better speakers could be the pushes that make this update something to consider. Come see what worked and what didn't with the ASUS Zephyrus G14 (2024)!

I love that some brand understood that not everybody who play games want a spaceship. This was always my biggest turn off for laptops, having a gpu used to mean it would look like a spaceship. This looks just as good as a macbook.

I got my 2024 G14 about a month ago, same config as yours in this video. I can confirm pretty much everything you mentioned and I'm happy with my purchase. The 16gb soldered isn't a huge dealbreaker for me, as I don't do a lot of heavy duty graphical work - whenever I'm editing video for work, I do it on an overpowered desktop rig at home. I did do some light editing on DVR while traveling (mostly just some small tweaks to existing projects) and I did not experience a lot of lag or stuttering. Audio editing for radio and podcasts works without a hitch. Casual gaming on older titles is fantastic on the OLED screen, for recent triple A titles I have to turn down the settings to high - not really a big deal, as the small OLED screen is super crisp and has great, bright colors. Watching 3K or 4K videos is amazing; can't see myself going back to a non-OLED panel after this. Normal productivity like writing, spreadsheets, emails and browsing is a breeze. Finally, battery time is not bad at all; depending on the task I get anywhere between 6 and 9 hours.

Overall, I think this is a solid model. As you mentioned: it's not perfect, but for the first gen of a completely redesigned G14 I think it largely succeeds.

I just received the (2024) G14 with 4060. It plays everything I have thrown at it at highest levels without problems. Awesome screen with super slim bezels, comfortable RGB keyboard, thin and light.... It has exceeded my expectations. Initially, I didn't think I would like the silver with white keyboard but it's actually quite elegant.

I cannot thank you enough for mentioning the efficiency of using the APU instead of the dGPU, for pointing out that the G14 can switch by connecting/disconnecting and that is comparable with the ROG Ally. Eye openning details. Also thanks for not forgetting the Power adapter size.

Also, looking for Zephyrus and Strix etimology was a great cherry on top. Awesome video 😏👍

Got this laptop last month and I love it. I've owned delll, MSI, and Zenbooks in the past. My most recent one was dell g15 which had issues from day one and honestly I'll never buy a dell again but that's a story for a different day. This truly is a all-in-1 laptop. I originally got the 16gb laptop but noticed just having the computer on idle 50% of the Ram was being used...with the casual video editing and gaming I do it got to 90% quick. I got a nice desktop for the heavy lifting but I use this to record podcasts and do lite editing. Ended up returning the 16gb and got a open box of the 32gb. Glad you called that out cause it was the biggest L for me on this laptop. Just like you I would've liked a 4060 32gb version. So I essentially paid an extra $400 for more I did get the intel-wifi chip also as many channels recommended. I also suggest getting gHelper instead of the armory crate. This laptop is so easily portable it will motivate you to go to the coffee shop or brewery to get some work done. My old dell was too thick with bad battery life and a MASSIVE charging block for me to really want to use it in public areas. Portability in my opinion should be #1 reason you buy a laptop if you don't already own a desktop. Anyway. great review glad I clicked this video you got a new sub!

The more I watch the more I realize he's a big fan of Chris broad 😂

I just got mine today cant wait to get into it!

[meowzzies]

The choice of Youtube clips and anime absolutely killed me in this review! 🤣 A man of culture!

[hetptdz]

Appreciate the detailed review!! I'm actually thinking of the G16 for simply the size. I prefer viewing something a little larger.

[TheOnlyName]

I've decided to get the 2024 G14, just hoping I'll be able to get it on sale in the next couple months!

Best G14 review I have seen on YouTube. Waiting for G16 review.

[CallumOrr]

Can i ask what usb C docking station you use? And does it have dual monitor output?

[rangerxairsoft]

One observation: for video content creators that don't utilise micro-sd's might not be ideal, but for ppl that use action cams a lot its perfect. I want with me in the field the thinnest package possible and the ability to just pull the micro SD card from a camera and put it fast into the laptop in order to empty the content.The extended battery life, lets say compared to a Blade 14, also helps when on the go. You kinda want to previsualize your stuff on the go and when the temperatures are cold, lets say 10 C or below, every bit of battery life helps. Nice little review anyways!! Cheers! 😉

[Weird_Quests]

How do you find it for video editing? And what is the battery life like for general office work (Google Docs) and YouTube playing in the background?

[adamfaliq]

Love the video. Would appreciate if you put timestamps as well !

[Silversurfer]

Great video as always. Potential advice if you're sticking with this, is that the USB4 port on the left supports the same bandwidth as TB4 (40Gbs) so "most" TB4 will have a successful handshake and accept the USB4 port and it also runs up to 100W PD and supports pass-through so leave it in Performance Mode which you will miss out on around 2% CPU (multi-thread) and 10% GPU compared to Turbo/Manual but I'd prefer that and keep a one-cable solution. Cheers.

Does your config Asus sent you support windows HDR? You mention Dolby vision in your video but was not sure on windows HDR.

[emmanuelkontokalos]

What monitor would you recommend that could do double duty for content creation and gaming. Doesn’t have to be crazy gaming specs

[flyint]

Great review. Which USB-C dock are you using? Thank you in advance.
