The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is aimed at gamers and productivity users who need strong performance without sacrificing too much portability. It comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor and Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics, a combination that can handle demanding applications and games relatively well. Its 14-inch display has a high resolution, making it suitable for content creation and media consumption. The screen's refresh rate is high, enhancing gaming and video playback. Being a gaming-oriented laptop, it has RGB lighting, which adds to its aesthetic appeal. However, it's slightly heavier than typical ultraportable laptops, which could affect its ease of carrying around. Battery life is also a consideration; while it may be adequate for general tasks, intensive uses like gaming are likely to drain it faster. The laptop has a midrange price tag, so it represents a balance between cost and performance. Give Feedback

Andreas Osthoff | April 2023
"The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 offers an impressive package. Asus improves the performance of the new 2023 ROG Zephyrus G14 considerable and offers a very powerful 14-inch notebook with plenty of performance for gamers and content creators. The high-quality chassis is unchanged from last year, but is now equipped with the latest and greatest from AMD as well as Nvidia. The Mini-LED panel also puts up a convincing performance in pretty much every regard, even though the MacBook Pro 14 still offers superior brightness values. The panel works extremely well for gaming and the included color profiles offer very accurate colors."
