    Kudos for a simple, stylish and informative review. I’ve picked up a 4060 model with 32 gigs of RAM in Beijing for around 1600 EUR. 4070 versions for whatever reason not available in here. On the other hand, I think 4060 fits this tiny laptop well.

    Thank you for the review, you really covered topics other youtubers don't really cover, what I like about your review is that you review it as a daily user and not numbers such as the benchmark and those details, after all as a user I care about the performance more than numbers on papers that might differ, you covered the battery life and how long it takes to drain which is really important, you also mentioned how the Asus app consumes a lot of CPU and RAM, and you gave an alternative, you also covered the wobbling and you compared it to others clearly, Overall, Thank you for the review, I will wait for the comparison with Razer blade next Sunday :D

      I agree. No one really confirmed this G14 2024 can handle a 4-4.5 [probably] hours of video editing. Hope it's true cause it means you can go to a coffee shop and have a session of video or photo editing without the charger. Super important for some of us..

    Amazing review! It was one of the ones I watched to decide what I wanted for a gaming/daily laptop. Have had mine for 2 days now. I'm impressed! I've never owned a gaming laptop before because of the designs and weight and size factor, and for the past 15 years kept purchasing the DELL XPS 15. It weighed a ton, was huge, and had horrid battery life but looked professional. In comparison, this laptop is so small, weightless and can play FFXIV and other games without an issue. It doesn't look god awful either so I can actually use this on a daily basis when I go sit at coffee shops/etc or occasionally take to work. I picked up the 4060 with 32 gigs of RAM in Canada for $3000 with the 4 years of warranty in the gray colour.

    @14:53 - While I use After Effects + Premiere + Photoshop rely more on CPU, while Davinci + Blender - rely more on GPU, so maybe 4070 will be ok. Not best.
    Yet, I'm more worried about only 32GB RAM while the 2023 can use 64GB if you install a 48GB stick of RAM.
    Question is, how much portability is important [for me it is. I understand the 2024 G14 with it's power brick weighs the same as the 2023 G14 laptop itself]. And what about reliability? That's a tough one. Heard many bad stories about Asus quality control. Hope no problems occur with the G14, with that OLED screen while working for hours on apps with steady UI [no screen burn in happening]. It's a tough call to understand how much performance really could, say, a 2023 G14 with 4080 + 64GB could really give us. 50% more performance really?
    How about battery life with that?
    Many unanswered questions...

    • @crimsontechyt
      @crimsontechyt  6 месяцев назад +1

      I think OLED burn in has for a big part been solved with all the modern anti burn in techniques they use on panels, but i understand that it is still a concern, especially with static UIs.
      If the highest GPU performance and RAM limits are important for you (for example with video editing), i would really recommend getting the 2023 model with a 4080 or 4090 and upgrade the RAM, because the difference in performance really is that big.
      For example: the 4070 model scores ~11000 in 3DMark TimeSpy. But the 4080 scores 16000, and the 4090 scores 17500.
      So it really is a roughly 40-50% difference in GPU performance (not to mention the VRAM difference!)
      For everything elsez the 2024 is an awesome upgrade. But for pure power, the 2023 Zephyrus G14 is still undefeated

    • @eladbari
      @eladbari 6 месяцев назад +1

      @@crimsontechyt Thanks for the detailed reply man. i believe it's all a question of balance.
      Compact + Lightness is important to me.
      Built quality and reliability- is also important.
      That (I hope) you get with the 2024 G14.
      Now, about power.
      I do not know how 16000 vs. 11000 benchmark translates in real life (it's 45% faster on paper for the 4080 which is rare to find today. I didn't see any real life comparison for that in Davinci or AE (I use my laptop for video editing. Not gaming). So, I know CPU had more heft here. It's the possibility of using 3D /Blender and Davinci.
      Now, the last aspect here is battery life.
      If the cost of having a 4080 means I can't edit video for 4 hours but rather 2 - then it's not so good for me.
      What I'm trying to say is that I feel like making a decision on paper is tricky. And maybe the 2024 G14 will give 85-90% speed compared to a 2023 G14 (not 50%). So, I need that balance.
      The 64GB RAM option of the 2023-, now that's a different story and will surely give more space to work on.
      You're an amazing reviewer, man. Wish you could test your G14 for content creation and not only gaming cause you know how to communicate this hard to find, real life info to your viewers.
      p.s- I read 2023 G14 4080 owners returning their laptops after overheating. Like it happens to many users...

      You're correct, it's very similar to the Flow X13 in many ways, but it's mostly better. The Zephyrus G14 is essentially just a Flow X13 with a much better display and speakers, a higher TGP for its CPU and GPU (so slightly better performance), an RGB keyboard, and just slightly bigger.
      The Flow on the other hand is lighter, smaller, and thinner.

    Was the G14 running on Optimus / MUX? I'm trying to understand if you kept the ULTIMATE performance mode On [so the 4070 was turned On all the time while on battery]- and you still managed to get 4.5 hours of video editing....?

    • @crimsontechyt

      @eladbari 6 месяцев назад +1

      @@crimsontechyt Thanks for letting me know, it's important!
      It's totally fine that the MUX switch was used while editing on Premiere. I guess it means for Davinci- which is more reliant on GPU - it will be less than 4 hours of battery life.
      And for After Effects? Who knows...it's still CPU centric, yet, not sure without a test.
      What I still don't get is how one time you're using "Automatic Select" for switching between dGPU and iGPU , and one time you use OPTIMUS.
      Maybe it's the same mode, and the G14 uses the "Automatic Select" while plugged in , and on battery - switches to OPTIMUS...? (you said you set it up via the Nvidia drivers. Not via G-Helper]

    • @crimsontechyt
      @crimsontechyt  6 месяцев назад

      They're 2 seperate systems:
      Optimus uses software to change between the iGPU and dGPU, but it still routes the display through the iGPU, meaning you'll lose some performance, and have a bit more delay.
      The automatic setting in Nvidia control panel used advanced Optimus to switch between the two, making a seperate "virtual display" for the dGPU, meaning it will switch between these two virtual displays when switching from GPU, so it'll be directly routed to the right GPU.

      The 4070 has about 15-20% better GPU performance, so it IS a meaningful difference.

      No, it's basically not an issue anymore in recent years.

      Even the cheapest OLED displays from samsung don't burn-in anymore, and these more expensive ones definitely don't :)
      A RUclipsr left a Switch OLED on for 2-3 years 24/7, and didn't get any burn-in. And those same anti burn-in features (and more) are in this same display.

      2. You're saying the usb-c PD [or however it's called]- is strictly for charging? You can't hook an external SSD or M2 drive to it?
      You can't hook a usb-c HUB with many extension ports which could simultaneously be used to charge the laptop + and utilize extra USB-A / -c / HDMI ports?

    • @crimsontechyt
      @crimsontechyt  6 месяцев назад

      The battery discharges while using usb-c because 100w is not enough to support the system under heavy load. 180W is needed to charge the laptop while using it, so the battery percentage will go down if you for example play a game while charging it through usb-c.
      You can use the usb-c port regularly for data as well, i meant that Asus' prorpietary connector uses the same protocol as usb-c to charge the device, just as 180W and with a port that doesnt fit usb-c devices (meaning you couldnt use it for anything else of course)

    • @eladbari

      ​@@crimsontechyt Many thanks for that. I got no clue how you have this info, but you're a genius :)
      I'm not going to game. I'm gonna video edit. This means there will be peaks of voltage, yet not as intense probably as gaming [as it's always pushing performance all the time].
      This means that using a usb-c while video editing, will drain the battery, yet, it may give me, say 7-8 hours instead of 4-5 hours of editing? [just assuming].
      Again, I don't know what this protocol deal means, but you're saying the G14 is being fed power the same method either by the charger or by the usb-c charger?
      I heard the usb-c creates heat and ruins battery. You're saying it doesn't, then...
      Heard some G14's include such extra usb-c 100W charger by Asus themselves [don't know how come but I heard so], therefore, maybe it's better to get the original Asus one, rather than a 3rd party usb-c GAN charger. The fact they supply it themselves might hint that it may not ruin the battery... :)

    • @crimsontechyt
      @crimsontechyt  6 месяцев назад

      Yes, usb-c charging wont ruin the battery. The ROG Flow X13 can ONLY charge through a USB-C charger (which is included in the box), so that would be a bit odd.
      I did see some G14s come with a 100W USB-C charger, which is just a GAn charger from Asus, but i dont know if this varies per model or per region.
      It would def give you more battery life though, yes

      Oh yes, there has been debate between keeping your laptop, (ex: gaming the G14), plugged in all the time or you should it give it a break some times. What’s your opinion on it to keep the battery life close to immortality? 🤔

    • @crimsontechyt
      @crimsontechyt  Месяц назад

      There's a function called "Battery protection", hat limits the charge of your battery to a certain percentage, so even if you're plugged in it'll stop charging at that point, and just bypass the battery, and run completely off of the charger. This makes it so the battery doesnt wear out at ALL if you have the percentage set optimally (a battery is healthiest between 55-80%).
      So if you just set that limit to somewhere around that, and keep it plugged in, your battery should live VERY long.
      (I've had it limited to 80% since i got it, and i ONLY use it plugged in, and still have optimal battery life, like it's new)
      So do that :)

      It all depends on what settings they use while testing of course. Brightness, power profile, hz, programs, etc. Affect battery life greatly, and nobody tests the same.
