ROG Zephyrus G14

I do occasional video editing, a lot of adobe lightroom, and I did most of my computer science degree on one. I also have an Asus ROG G14 gaming laptop with a 3060 in it, which is more capable than the macbook, but for day to day stuff it feels like junk to use in comparison.

Yeah, I say this as a person who, pretty much as a rule, doesn't buy Apple products: buying Windows laptops in particular is such a crapshoot that I think Macbooks are absolutely worth the premium, doubly so now that there's an affordable one. You can check processor, RAM, GPU, and storage specs bet

Sorry to break it, but apple still makes the best laptops. Best price for the quality and power. Best builds. And this is coming from a pc guy who, I do have a pc rig, can't stand other laptops than macbooks... I had a zephyrus G14, nice laptop, but battery was atrocious even on light use. Battery i

Hey OP - I just checked the Asus US site and I do see the 5080 SKU listed now. But damn, its 4800... yea I'm wondering if they were better off not listing it given I can't imagine ANYONE is paying almost 5K for a 5080 14inch + 1TB SSD laptop when just last year $4K got you a 5090 + 64GB RAM + 2TB in

I will sound like an asshole, but the majority of “issues” you are seeing on this sub are over exaggerated. Basically, you will see a few types of “issues”: Type 1: OMG, my laptop is reaching 80C, G14 sucks, Asus sucks. Well, your g14 is designed to run up to 95C without much throttling. If you want

Congrats on finally finding "the one". Just curious, what didn't you like about the Macbook Air? Also, was the Asus gaming laptop a G14? I have a G14 and it has not been reliable hah.

It's a Zephyrus G14. I chose it mainly for its size. It's amazing how it can pack so much power into such a small space. It was very convenient because during chemo, when I had limited space, I could just bring the USB-C charger and play using the integrated graphics at 1080p with a steady 30fps, ma

Yup. Got a G14 ASUS laptop about 6 years ago. Got constant blue screens. There were many, many threads on r/ZephyrusG14 about it. Turns out they fucked up how the dynamic processor adjustment works. Had to modify power management in Windows and explicitly disable processor performance boost mode, or

Install ghelper. It will fix all your problems. Before uninstalling Asus Apps do an update then uninstall all the asus apps. Do a custom fan curve also. My zephyrus g14 2024 rtx 4060 16gb ram lasts for 5 to 6 hours on battery on light web browsing and documents

I had the 2025 G14 model for a little bit (returned for a G16). My use case is not pure productivity. More like 50 - 50. For productivity, you can set it to silent mode. The fan noise is very minimum. I would say for pure productivity, you can't really beat MacBooks. The M5 (Pro or not) chips are ju
