Powerful CPU and GPU performance in a very compact design ; AniMe Matrix screams unique ; It has a webcam

The redesigned ROG Zephyrus G14 continues to standout by offering a ton of performance, an eye-catching AniMe Matrix screen, and a new 16:10 screen and webcam.

Absolutely gorgeous ; Easy to carry ; Wonderful keyboard ; Has a webcam this time!

Lackluster CPU performance ; Kind of expensive

Bright, QHD, 16:10 screen ; Massive touchpad ; Best-in-class RGB keyboard ; Surprisingly good webcam

Unfortunately expensive ; Not outperforming cheaper systems ; Battery life is getting worse

Asus’s ROG Zephyrus G14, powered by AMD’s Ryzen 9 6900HS and Radeon 6800S, would be the gaming laptop to beat if it wasn’t so expensive. Asus fixed all the problems we had with it, but it also jacked up the price.

Great keyboard ; Sharp anti-glare display with great visuals ; Lovely size and form factor ; Strong battery life for a gaming laptop ; All the ports

Metal plate on the underside can get hot ; No full-sized SD card reader ; Webcam is only 720p

We'd have no trouble recommending this gaming laptop to just about everyone. So if you're looking for a relatively compact yet powerful gaming laptop, the G14 is a very well balanced option that surfs the line between everyday champ and gaming great.

Svelte design ; Comfortable keyboard ; Stellar performance ; Solid audio ; Amazing battery life

Display could be brighter and more vivid ; Shallow touchpad ; Middling graphics ; Gets warm

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 packs great performance and battery life in a tight design, but falls short with its display and graphics.

Compact and powerful ; 120Hz QHD+ display is superb ; Generous selection of ports

Anime Matrix lid display is over the top ; Mediocre webcam ; No biometric login

The battery life situation means the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 can’t quite stand side by side with the MacBook Pro. There still isn’t anything that can match Apple’s M1, M1 Pro and M1 Mac laptops for power and stamina combined.

cleaner design and slightly improved ergonomics ; better inputs and IO, finally a camera ; 16:10 display with beatiful and fast QHD panel, 180 hinges ; more powerful than the 2021 generation ; 76W battery, and improved efficiency ; punchy audio with...

very high temperatures with games & demanding loads ; the screen reaches 50+ Celsius around the exhausts ; limited Ray Tracing performance (FSR helps) ; only a slow SSD on our unit
