@@BXbomber718 I actually do have a question, I'm going to pick one of these laptops this week and I'm not too savvy when it comes to GPUs, I don't know which one to pick, one with a Ryzen 9 and a RX 6800S for 1300 bucks or paying 1600 for one with a RTX 4060. Don't know if these GPUs are wildly different, I'd rather save 300 bucks than get 10 extra fps. but I really don't know the performance difference.
@@Taby_G Hey. The 4060 is vastly better GPU than the 6800s. If you do video editing it has better codec support and if you game it offers DLSS/Frame generation plus better Ray Tracing performance. The best decision is determined by what your usage scenario is and budget.
This laptop rocks! This laptop hasn't arrived yet in my country. I would get it if there's nothing holding me back. I consider this to be my first option since I'm upgrading from MacBook Air
Wow nostalgia. I was looking for a look at this laptop and noticed I am already subscribed because of your Asus P5Q motherboard video, which I used in my first PC build 14 years ago! Good to see you're still about.
@@paulgroves8633 Unfortunately they are limiting certain models to certain regions...I hate that. I'm actually on the lookout for the the AMLED/4090 model but it may not be sold in my region 😕
I purchased this from BestBuy but returned it the same day. That version had a 4070. I went with the Legion 5i Pro 4070. Reason: 512GB was a deal breaker. I have games and programs I use that would eat that storage for breakfast. I could have brought an NVME replacement, but the last Legion was still available with the features I needed, and it wouldn't make sense money-wise to get it. The only upgrade I will make is just adding more RAM. Might get more storage months later. Would have been nice to have a smaller footprint. Might purchase this for the wife once if it drops lower. It's definitely a clean looking laptop. That white pops! This would be great for college students who need to be portable and still have a ton of desk space.
I completely understand. 512GB would only be a deal breaker for me if this laptop was my daily driver. Otherwise like you said I would've purchased something else. Enjoy your Legion. Fortunately enough, the G14 has dropped in price @Best Buy to $1399.99 😧
Nice video, do you think G14 or G15 is better for programming? I am scared that G14 should be small for me. Also I need it to be easily movable because of school
Mine is the dark grey, and also 7940HS with a RTX 4060, and Anime Matrix, only the higher SKU got mini led, and some Anime Matrix, it is different in each country.
I am getting one tomorrow and my first upgrade will be the NVME drive. 512 is too paltry, and I have a 2Tb ready to go. I just wonder how much of a pain it will be to backup everything , swap the drive, and restore, without losing anything
@@BXbomber718 wouldn't want to to have to test and bother u much just like do u feel like the white color makes it hard to see keyboards like feeling wise
I thought mine had a busted speaker as the boot up sound on the ROG logo sounds cracked. It seems it's just that way. I have a 2021 G14 and its boot up sound sounds more full.
Hey. The 3050/3060/3070 models in the US doesn't have Animatrix lids. To get that you have to get the 4080 version from Asus for $2499.99 here: shop.asus.com/us/90nr0dh3-m00240-rog-zephyrus-g14-2023.html I hope that helps.
Yes this is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 model from Best Buy. It has 16GB DRR5 RAM soldered (in dual channel mode) and it also has a free soDIMM slot. Currently it's on sale for $1399.99 here: www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-zephyrus-14-165hz-gaming-laptop-qhd-amd-ryzen-9-with-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-512gb-ssd-moonlight-white/6535495.p?skuId=6535495
From my testing yes. You can do native resolution gaming but you may have to dial down some visual setting on AAA games. Fortunately, this GPU comes with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM which helps it tremendously.
@@BXbomber718 awesome, best buy emailed me yesterday saying the 4070 was back in stock and ordered it I should be getting it tomorrow by the end of the day 🔥🔥🔥
Looking to get a asus g14 laptop, silly question. I want to use it for mainly video editing, is the 4060 better than the 4070? I keep hearing reviews the 4070 is bad and the 4060 is better.
Hey. In regards to video editing there will be no real world difference. However, if you stepped up to a 4080/4090 you will experience a difference due to codec support and other CUDA features.
Though only dual channel on the SODIMM up to the capacity of the soldered RAM - So 16Gb soldered + a 32 GB SODIMM is only dual channel up to 32Gb total, if using more than 32Gb, the remainder isn't dual channel

its just what im waitinag for. G14 2023 !!! NICE VID BRO
Very nice, I have a dark grey AMD 7940HS/Nvidia 4070 model on order (in the UK)

I wonder if this exact version will be available. But it looks like we are not. It's not even up for pre order in the UK 😭
I don't see a SKU for a 7940HS / 4060 model even listed on the Asus UK site, one of the reasons I went for the 4070 model, as want the Gen 4 7940S CPU

How good is the Linux support? Linux works pretty well in Lenovo Legion "Pro" 5, but this year Lenovo has full plastic body.
Pretty nice dude. Are the thermals good enough?
Yes. Surprisingly it's a day/night contrast to last year's unit that was known to overheat.

Battery life plz
So far 8+ hours with some tweaks.

@Gilbert what size storage are you looking for and what's your spending budget?

Do all G14s in 2023 have 16GB RAM soldered to the board? Or is there the possibility of getting a version with only 8GB on the board?
why would you want 8 if they give you 16 ?
I'm making sure there's NO POSSIBILITY of getting stuck with 8 GB onboard regardless of which 2023 model number of G14 I buy
@@vzuzukin well the lower G14 with 7735hs and 4060 I've seen also comes with 16gb soldered at least, dont know for the 4050

Yes they all do.

Wait why isn't the usb c charger included?
bro just FYI DDR5 MEM runs on dual channel even with only 1 stick
Thanks for the heads up 👍🏾
Since the 16 GB soldered in can you add in 32 GB of RAM in the empty slot
After 1 year how is the oled display??
Thanks for your question. This laptop doesn't have OLED.
first time boot take so long time.... is it the same when restarting after that?
The first boot is always slow and I heard the g14 boot up is pretty quick after the first boot.
That's always happens with the initial boot. Every boot afterwards is normal.
Okay thansk bro.. nice video helpful
Plz upload ur perfomance when gaming
