Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 hands-on

We still don’t know how much the G14 will cost when it launches in Q1. The laptop will be available in multiple configurations, with up to an AMD Ryzen R9 8945 HS processor, up to 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of SSD storage. In addition to the integrated AMD Radeon 780M graphics card, the G14 is available in a variety of configurations, from an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU with 6GB VRAM to an RTX 4090 GPU with 16GB VRAM.One thing that all G14 configurations have in common is a 14-inch display.

The OLED panel features 3K (2880 x 1800) resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and is ASUS Nebula certifiedG14 series slimming down for the New Year. It’s 20% thinner than its predecessor, and Asus has managed to shave off some thickness on the 2024 model, which is an impressive 25% thinner. The Zephyrus G14 measures 12.2 x 8.7 x 0.64 ~ 0.62 inches and weighs just 3.3 pounds, making it lighter than the Razer Blade 14 (4.1 pounds, 12.2 x 8.9 x 0.7 inches) and only slightly heavier than the Asus ROG Flow X13 (2.9 pounds). pounds, 11.8 x 8.4 x 0.74 inches) The Zephyrus G14 has six ports on its slim body, including a USB 4.0 port on the left side, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, an HDMI 2.1 port, and an audio jack. On the right is USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C and a proprietary charging port.Since I’m reviewing a pre-production model, we weren’t able to benchmark color reproduction and accuracy. But what I’ve seen looks good to me. The laptop comes pre-installed with Dolby Vision, so those who want to tweak the color temperature a bit can. While “Bright” works for most people, I like my tints to almost burn my eyeballs, so for me, this is just the “Vivid” preset. Like its big brother, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16, Asus has given the G14 six top-mounted speakers (two tweeters, four speakers), and despite having 1.7mm of key travel, I found the keys to be a bit mushy at the time of writing. Review the shape.

Still, I managed to beat my usual 70 words per minute mark at 75 WPM on the 10fastfingers test. The trackpad also experienced a growth spurt, increasing in size by 3.3%, which gave me plenty of room to maneuver. The bottom edge deploys with a nice springy click , and Windows 11 multi-touch gestures allow for near-instant results. When available, the ROG Zephyrus G14 will run Nvidia’s current 4000-series chips, starting with the RTX 4050 GPU all the way up to the RTX 4090 GPU. While we don ‘t have pricing at the moment, it’s a safe bet that anything over the 4070 will cost you over $2,000. My pre-production device has a 4060 GPU and 8GB VRAM. This means I had no issues playing Cyberpunk at high settings and native resolution Street Fighter 6 and Baldur’s Gate also ran smoothly. But since this isn’t a final product, I can’t do any real benchmarking. You’ll have to keep an eye out for the full review.The Zephyrus G14 is coming soon, powered by the AMD Ryzen R9 8945 HS processor, one of AMD’s new Ryzen 9 CPUs. The 8945 HS CPU is a member of AMD’s Hawk Point family of chips and features 8 Zen 4 cores.

The HS in the chip’s nomenclature indicates that it’s one of the more powerful chips in the latest series. It will have some minor improvements compared to the previous generation AMD Ryzen R9 7940HS CPU. The Zephyrus G14 comes with a 73WHr Zephyrus G14  battery and I was keen to put its performance through the Laptop Mag

It did take a dip last year,

but it looks like the 2024 G14 version is poised to make a strong comeback. It’s slimmer than the previous model and features an all-new design. It is one of the first ROG-branded laptops to feature an OLED panel.While this laptop is absolutely aesthetically stunning, it promises to be the king of mid-range laptops thanks to its AMD Ryzen 9 processor and Nvidia RTX 4000 series graphics cards. While I’m curious about how this laptop will handle AI performance, I’ m still interested in seeing how this laptop performs in our benchmarks, especially if we get a configuration with an RTX 4070 GPU.
