ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025)

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.

Asus' premium laptop offerings are so disjointed. The Zephyrus G14 is prime candidate for Strix Halo. Didn't get it. The TUF A14 does get it, but is LCD only. You also need to pay for the 12-core version even if you don't need it because they're "evaluating" the 388. Then we have this thing. Fully u

Liquid metal was a bad idea by ASUS and frankly more of marketing stunt. Perhaps even planned obsolescence. After swapping LM for PTM7950, my G14 doesn't behave chaotic as it did all the time before. I saw some spots on the die, I think it was the CPU.

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

Ok this isn't your g14. Dying this is just asus's armoury crate being crap. Use Fn+V

Dude, ugh. I am an original G14 supporter. I saw them putting Ryzen in a laptop and bought it immediately. I've loved mine for almost 6 years rnow. I REALLY wanted to give Asus my money for a new laptop, but the mid-spec trim in the US is like $1650.... with only 16GB of RAM. My similar spec machine

You can only get up to a 5080 in a 14” chassis and the Asus Zephyrus G14 with it loses to the 14” M5 Max in several of the GPU benchmarks that NotebookCheck did. They seem to be very very similar in performance outside of straight gaming where obviously PC in general has a big advantage for several

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.

In pursuit of copying the MacBook Asus copied the display cable design as well (leaving the display cable connector exposed). This makes it very easy for the display cable to get damaged which is a terrible design. Some engineer in the comments yesterday “spanning decades of experience” tried to jus

Damn. Check out my post about the same issue I had. Tldr is it's widespread through all 2024 g14 models, Asus denies the issue and I had to threaten to sue them to get mine fixed for free.
