The Asus Zephyrus G14 is a refined laptop and can pitch in both aesthetics and performance. The fact that its specs and the sheer amount of firepower can fit in its small build is mind blowing, especially its ability to run games easily. Its raw CPU performance leaves an impression to be desired. G14 is a complete package because Asus even included a webcam this time and fixed every problem so G14 is now more powerful, faster and can last longer. The CPU does not perform any faster than the predecessor’s overall GPU performance but this gen’s Radeon 6800S is much faster than last gen’s RTX 3060 as games can run perfectly smooth in highest settings. More importantly, G14 offers a blazing performance for gaming and everything else. The track pad is more comfortable and has a nicer screen.

Overall Performance - G14 is a refined laptop and can pitch in both aesthetics and performance. The fact that its specs and the sheer amount of firepower can fit in its small build is mind blowing, especially its ability to run games easily. Its raw CPU performance leaves an impression to be desired. G14 is a complete package because Asus even included a webcam this time and fixed every problem so G14 is now more powerful, faster and can last longer. The CPU does not perform any faster than the predecessor’s overall GPU performance but this gen’s Radeon 6800S is much faster than last gen’s RTX 3060 as games can run perfectly smooth in highest settings. More importantly, G14 offers a blazing performance for gaming and everything else. The track pad is more comfortable and has a nicer screen.
Hardware - The hardware of G14 has gone full red with AMD CPU and AMD GPU combo which is a huge overhaul and much better compared to the previous G14. Its fantastic performance results from its AMD setup.
Limitations - G14 only has a small system which may have limitations of some sort and it cannot be brought outside. The heat management still needs to be tweaked. LED Dot Matrix is not RGB. Unlike the last version, G14 is an all-AMD affair.

Upgrade Value - It is faster in some games but not worth it to upgrade for users that have the current G14.
The Tech Chap
02/23/2022
Improvements - Asus has a lot of competitors but they already established themselves by consistently offering the best performances and portability to its consumers. It has a lot of improvements from last year’s G14 but all of these improvements are improved without changing the slim chassis or shortening the battery life, delivering even more than 10 hours on a single charge. It has a compact and a lightweight case for improved overall versatility.
Price - It is an expensive laptop, starting at $1,649.99 and $2,499 in US.
PCMag - Brian Westover

Value - It is worth considering especially if purchased on a good deal or discount as this laptop is the improved and fixed version of the previous model.
The Tech Chap
02/23/2022
Specs - It has color space coverage, high refresh rate of 120 Hz, powerful speakers, good input devices, and a well thought out and modern cooling system. IT comes with the new AMD Radeon RX 6800S which is a low-power version of GPU that enables a low-profile chassis and extends battery life.
Build - G14 is thin, light, and an absolute stunner laptop just like the 2020 model. Asus have refreshed G14’s slim and sleek design, it has the 16 by 10 display, and portable as before. It has a very stylish Anime Matrix LEDs on the lid. The white colorway is back and the LED Dot Matrix on the lid can be customized with effects.

Accessories - G14 comes with a notebook and a power supply which is comparatively compact for a 240W unit (16.5 x 7.5 x 2.5 cm/6.5 x 2.95 x 0.98 inches) which turned out to be large at 600 g (1.32 lbs) so a 200W may have been a better fit. Asus announced that G14 comes bundled with a laptop sleeve, a gaming mouse, and a USB Type-C charger where power delivery is supported on one of the two USB-C ports, in selected regions.

Build - G14 is a slim-built 14-inch device, compact, and lightweight which makes it very portable for a gaming laptop. It has more traditional design or shape which makes it easier to fit in smaller bags. The lid has an elaborate array of LED pinpoints that can display custom animations and blinking lights without going overboard on RGB elements. Build quality is fantastic. 11 philips screws have to be undone before the bottom lid can be removed. There is a very orderly and uncluttered design underneath and the location of CPU and GPU is stylized with good looking images and covered with a spacious cooling system. Fans are oriented towards the rear and sides and DDR5 slot and M2 slot can be found between the cooling system and the ginormous battery. The 16GB attached on the motherboard by default can negatively impact the upgradability in the long run.
Case - Case is stylish and looks stunning in Moonlight white and stands out.

03/14/2022
Color - It comes with a white color that looks beautifully clean and sleek and a bluish purple badge that is slightly different from before.
Display - The AniMe Matrix feature is one of the features comes with an array of 1499 mini LEDs giving brighter lights for bolder animations.
PCMag - Brian Westover

Improvements - Case remained largely identical but Asus added connectivity (microSD) and relocated speakers, enlarged touchpad and modified keyboard.
NotebookCheck - Florian Glaser
03/14/2022
Keyboard - The keyboard has a built-in RGB backlight that supports various modes at night that can be controlled via software and has a clear and precise feedback. G14’s keyboard now has a full white color instead of that silvery finish from before. Keyboard deck is nicer and all white but the keycaps have green tint and customizable, its layout feel nice and tactile, has 1.7mm of travel distance and arrow keys have been increased in size and has more depth on the deck to make it bigger. Input devices are good for a gaming notebook, and the keyboard offers pleasant clear and precise feedback and contrast between dark letters and bright background color on the key caps was more sufficient for excellent readability. Print and Insert keys had to adjust for the wider yet smaller arrow keys but the keys themselves were sized well except the arrow keys, F-keys, and the extra keys above the keyboard.
Limitations - The backlight of the keyboard somehow makes worse visibility in normal lighting conditions but it won’t be a problem with the darker Eclipse Gray color option. It doesn’t have the typical RJ45 port and thunderbolt 4.

Flip - The lid opens a full 180 degrees and is still easy to open.
Matthew Moniz
02/20/2022
AniMe Matrix - The lid has an array of LED pinpoints (AniMe Matrix) that can display custom animations. AniMe matrix LEDs on the lid is the highlight and unique selling point but the perforated texture remains the same if bought with or without the AniMe Matrix in the lid, so it is optional. These are the holes inside the display lid that light up and can be controlled by software for sleek animations.
Material - The slim chassis is made of aluminum, magnesium alloy, and sturdy polycarbonate, giving it strength and substance despite the portability. Case is made of plastic but surfaces are well-machined and gives premium impression.
PCMag - Brian Westover
03/10/2022
Ports - Ports include a pair of USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a USB-C port, a microSD card slot, and an HDMI video output, this one offering DisplayPort video-out functionality. Ports are not space savers as most of them are located in the middle and front on both sides. One of the ports directly connect to the dedicated GPU and the other one connects to the integrated GPU. There is charging port, HDMI port, usb-c port, and combo 3.5mm audio jack on the left. Overall connectivity is good. At least 1 will be updated to support USB4 in the future.
Screen - Screen to body ratio is improved, bezels are thinner on both sides, top bezel is a little bit thinner as well but the bottom one is downsized by half for about 91 screen to body ratio. They are set to 175 scaling in windows and not zoomed in when used in chrome.
SD Card Reader - Built-in micro-SD card reader performs well with sequential read performance of 178 MB/s and 151 MB/s when transferring photos. It performs above average using 128 GB AAV Pro V60.
NotebookCheck - Florian Glaser
03/14/2022
Speakers - It has a total of 4 speakers, two at the top and two at the bottom. 4.0 sound system performs well in audio tests with accurate mids and highs, a bass that leaves much to be desired, has a max volume of 80 dB(A). They sound a bit louder than the previous model and frequencies are decent. However, there are no macbook speakers.
Touchpad - The bigger touchpad makes it more comfortable to use. The touchpad is 50% larger than the previous model, with a size of 13 x 7.6 cm (5.12 x 3 inches). Precision is great and gestures worked like a charm, smooth surface gives smooth finger gliding. Clickable areas offer high stability and punchy feedback. Extra space feels enormous when browsing the web or doing productivity work.
Track Pad - It is one of the best surfaces, has a great texture to the glass, feels nice, and the click mechanic sounds.

Dimensions - The overall weight is 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs), which is even less than the Razer Blade 14’s 1.8 kg (4 lbs) With a weight of 3.86 pounds, it's lighter than most mainstream laptops, while packing far more power. It is very compact and thin (19.5 mm/0.77 inches with Matrix LEDs, 18.5 mm/0.73 inches without). It measures 0.77 by 12.3 by 8.9 inches (HWD)The added thickness due to the AniMe Matrix feature added a friction of an inch to the lid.

Chipset Performance - G14’s CPU is 6900 hs from amd and pumps out about 15 better performance than 5900 hs on last year’s mode; intel chip is faster and great but it cannot take the crown in terms of raw performance. The CPU is energy efficient and now has amd 6800s which has an integrated gpu and rx 680m that is better than rtx 3060 of previous model. It has 2 amd stickers inside but there is no intel core or an rtx with full amd that can be either a ryzen 6800 hs or 6900 hs which are both 8 core 16 thread chips, and either a radeon rx 6700s or 6800s graphics card paired with 32 gigs of ddr5 ram and a terabyte of ssd storage. It is not that faster versus the 5900 hs in last year's g14 in cinebench r23.
Communication - Wireless modem overall Wi-Fi performance is good
NotebookCheck - Florian Glaser
03/14/2022
CPU Comparison - Memory allotment is smaller (16GB) than Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU and Radeon RX 6700S GPU is a half stepdown but cuts the price to $1649.
PCMag - Brian Westover
03/10/2022
DPC Latency - It has major latencies and definitely requires refinement.
NotebookCheck - Florian Glaser
03/14/2022
Energy Consumption - G14 has 105 watt gpu instead of 80 watts so the energy consumption is like a 20-25 bump and a solid 30-40 bump in performance.
Dave2D
02/17/2022
Fan - When idle, G14 does not ramp up its fans unnecessarily high unlike other laptops. And while the fans were never really completely silent we found their noise emissions to be acceptable and unobtrusive. It doesn’t get loud in general productivity and takes longer to kick on. It gets up to 55 dB. It gets quite hot in turbo mode amnd when under load. Users can lower the dB in performance mode and it will be closer to the lower 50s, and silent mode will be closer to 40s. Fan noise can never be really heard and it doesn’t hear up.
Gaming - When it comes to gaming, G14 benefits from its powerful processor and is thus able to occasionally outperform Intel-powered notebooks equipped with RTX 3080 GPUs. Raytracing performance is fairly poor and in cases unable to keep up with GTX 3060. There is VRAM limit in high resolutions and AMD GPU suffers more than Nvidia GPUs. The new Asus can hold a place in F1 2021, proving that the AMD Radeon RX 6800S can hold its own against Nvidia's competing GPUs and that AMD's Fidelity FX is a worthy alternative to DLSS. In gaming, it went above and beyond mere playability. There is a 5% increase in gaming performance.
Graphics - There is a bunch of variables but the 6800s is between 3060 and 3070 in terms of performance. Both AMD cards support DXR ray tracing. Through Windows DirectX 12, it has fidelity FX super resolution.

02/23/2022
GPU Performance - Overall GPU performance suffers greatly when set to performance mode instead of Turbo mode. Frame rates dropped by around 20 in Witcher 3 test.
NotebookCheck - Florian Glaser
03/14/2022
Internal Specs - G14 is a high-end laptop with 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD, an 8-core CPU, built with the latest AMD hardware, AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (3.3GHz) processor with a hefty 32GB of DDR5 memory, along with AMD Radeon RX 6800S graphics and 8-GB VRAM, a 16:10 QHD display running at 2560 x 1600 and 120 Hz with allegedly 100 % DCI P3 coverage
Heat Management - The vapor chamber can cover a lot more stuff including the CPU, GPU and VRMS to make it thermally capable. There is no problem with heat management for some. It is a good 15 to 18 faster and puts much closer to the rtx 3017. Exterior temps on G14 were a couple of degrees lower which is not really significant. It is tight internally because there is a lot of stuff going on. The vapor chamber cooler at the top and a customization on back plate. It has liquid metal on both the GPU and CPU to keep the temperature down.
Modes - It supports a mux switch which is either in default hybrid or the dedicated gpu modes which will switch to less power hungry integrated graphics on the processor when doing less demanding stuffs.
The Tech Chap
02/23/2022
Motherboard - DDR5 and memory is baked onto the motherboard and the single NVMe drive and a Wi-Fi card is found underneath, has one stick of ram soldered in motherboard 16 GB stick at the top.
Noise - Noise emissions depend greatly on the selected performance profile. Level of noise is loud without headphones.
NotebookCheck - Florian Glaser
03/14/2022
Overall Performance - In Time Spy, G14 performed 100 points short to Razer Blade 15. G14 would be so impressive if the laptop can perform as well as Blade given that G14 is lighter. It topped the Alienware X14 with its category-leading performance. With its 10-hour battery life and lightweight design, it is portable to bring everywhere and has an MSRP in Europe for 2299 euros incl. VAT. G14 performs well in all of the performance tests done with the unit, beating most of the competition. With the result, it is proven to be powerful and adept at photo editing, video transcoding, and for media creation. Its CPU is a power-optimized variant of AMD’s latest GPU, it can consume between 55 and 85 W in Performance mode and increases up to 105 W in Turbo mode, which allows for clock frequencies of 2 GHz and more for this 7 nm chip with 2,048 shaders. VRAM can be limited for some. TGB fluctuates significantly in Performance mode resulting in decreased performance.
Performance Upgrade - Upgrades for G14 are not that significant.
Matthew Moniz
02/20/2022
Processor - G14’s processor is a power-efficient variant of AMD’s Ryzen 9 6900HX. It comes with a TDP of 35W rather than 45W. It can handle 16 simultaneous thread, can run between 3.3 and 4.9GHz, and has access to 16mb of L3 cache. CPU was able to draw 100 W PL1 and 125 W PL2 in Performance mode and 125 and 157 W in Turbo mode. Performance rating is because of the improved single-core performance. Wattage performance is amazing.
NotebookCheck - Florian Glaser
03/14/2022
Response Time - G14’s response time have been cut from 25 down to just 3 milliseconds.
The Tech Chap
Smart Access Memory - Smart Access Memory lets the cpu take advantage of the GPU’s vram if needed.
The Tech Chap
02/23/2022
Smart Shift Max - Smart Shift Max is where the CPU and the GPU transfers power to each other dynamically in real life and allows the 6800s to boost from 80 up to 105 watts in graphically intensive apps.
The Tech Chap
02/23/2022
Spy Benchmark - In extreme version of the benchmark test, it is faster and not to shabby
The Tech Chap
02/23/2022
Storage Devices - It has Micron 2450 PCIe 4.0 SSD and performs more than 3000MB/s in sequential read and write performance. Existing drivers does not feature secondary M2 slot and must be replaced if the user requires more storage space.
NotebookCheck - Florian Glaser
03/14/2022
Dolby Vision - It has adaptive sync Dolby vision.
The Tech Chap
02/23/2022
Temperature - Idle temperature is at 30 degrees Celsius. Manageable temp is 80Cs combined with lower fan noise of ~40dB but the GPU seems getting close to 90C which can be concerning but AMD says 6800S has no issues running that hot. A maximum of 55 °C are too high gaming and CPU and GPU were locked in a battle for power and cooling. It reached 80C during the 60 minutes stress test.
Webcam - Webcam quality is nothing special but it has infrared sensors for Windows hello and facial recognition but it is not 1080p.
Display - G14’s screen is updated and now has 16x10 aspect ratio which is a really nice looking screen. It is ghd, bright, has a fast refresh rate and response time making it way better than the previous model, and feels a little less cramped.
Backlight Flickering - Its display backlight flickers at 27170 Hz and detected at a brightness setting of 35% and below.
NotebookCheck - Florian Glaser
03/14/2022
Brightness - Fans of the outdoors will benefit from its overall high brightness, has pretty good screen brightness and falls under asus’ nebula standard. It is matte so it doesn’t pick up much reflection unlike on a glass panel. Brightness is now up to 500 nits.
Color Accuracy - The color accuracy of G14 is fantastic and it is the gHD version so it can go up to 120 hz. It has HDR 100 p3 color accuracy and is pantone certified.
The Tech Chap
02/23/2022
Display - It comes with a display running at QHD resolution (2560 x 1600) resulting on high pixel density and very sharp image.
Issue - The hot air is blowing into the screen.

Battery life - G14’s battery life is greater than other laptops and handily beats its competition. It also came close to its 500-nit brightness at 444 nits, overall color quality and resolution are good. Battery life performs well even after an hour of using YouTube. Battery in gaming still slashes frame rate in half and doesn’t last a full hour like the old g14. It is still a 76 watt hour battery and the chip is just more energy efficient with the charger that is a little bit bigger. It gives a battery life of 18 hours when idle. This battery life combined with its bright display makes it as a perfect travel companion.

Availability - It is not yet available in North America and MediaMarket and prices have not yet been announced. It became available last February 18, 2020 in the US
Price - Price is the same as the fully specced 2021 model. Configuration seems to be overly expensive. Asus put a lot of money on the webcam.
Value - It is a solid price point for this laptop but it is a bit more expensive than the Alienware X14 but is worth it. The huge price spike is a good price for such a machine. Users get what they pay for especially in terms of performance.
