Regardless, its kinda of stupid not adding a webcam. Having that most classes and meeting are going through a web conference, am sure a lot of people passed on this one...
Picked this laptop up a month ago and it’s easily the best laptop I’ve ever had in my life. You can actually work on it all day then game on it at night and it still works perfect. Gaming laptops I had in the past don’t compare.
@@Ifalvarado any gaming laptop can be set up to be used at 100% performance unplugged but your battery is going to die in 20 minutes so unplugged performance is not really something you measure on gaming laptops. Most gaming laptops are done to be used pretty much like desktop laptops that you can move.
@@uy9572 Wrong. The performance will lower because of the wattage provided by the battery is much lower than the power bricks provided, for example, you have power bricks over the 150-200watt range that does full energy drive while batteries are much lower than 100 watt range; the Geforces will lower performance to match as what the battery provided along with the cpus. Their 3000 series has better energy efficiency, that and along with AMD processors, its a nice balance. I have a macbook pro 16 inch 5600m that is equivalent to the 2060 and it uses only 50 watts for the gpu alone at full performance.
@@lisaskywalker8419 I got it a few weeks ago and as long as you have a cooling base it gets pretty much not hot at all you can play most games with the silent fan profile which prioritizes temperature over performance and even then most games will run perfectly at max graphics due to the amount of power it has. And even playing at turbo or performance it doesn't get much hotter
9:12 This seems to be more to do with Windows. Every PC laptop I have used will run the fans fast for a minute or so at a time while connected to power then cycle down and come back a little while later. It seems to have to do with background processes in Windows. The fans on my Razer laptop ramp up while the computer does not seem to be doing anything. Further investigation revealed that this was Windows Update running in the backdrop preparing an update.
The problem with the VR is that for some AMD laptops, the integrated graphics is being used instead of the dedicated graphics which explains the "lagginess." To fix this you'll have to manually set some files to run with the dedicated graphics card. There should be some tutorials in youtube. I don't know why it does this but hope that helps! (Should work for the Strix G17 too!)
See the usb c port on the left of the g 14 is directly wired to the GeForce graphics, at least it is like this on the 2020 g14 that I have, so I don’t think that’s the issue, but I haven’t personally tried vr ever to debug this
@@agni1962 I’m aware of that but even the Legion 5 (4800H + 2060) had that problem as well with its USB-C port. Might be related to AMD integrated graphics drivers.
To fix the VR issues make sure you’re connecting your headset to the display port capable usb C port since that one is directly wired to the GPU. You may need to get a dongle tho
I bought this exact model to use with my Quest 2... whoops 😳 J/k, it worked fine but the Oculus SW by default uses the iGPU. After fixing that, I played Alyx for the first time and it was awesome.
Thankyou for this info, I was disappointed I ordered this laptop then heard it doesn't play well with oculus. That's the primary reason I bought it. Having said that I would like to know what you did to fix it.
If you open the Nvidia control panel and choose to manage 3D settings, then choose your preferred graphics processor it seems to force the GPU to be used.. you can also change it from the Armory I believe. First laptop in 8 years and loving it!!
I've only had it a few days and love it. Two things I don't care for are 1) The white backlight on the keyboard, wish it was literally any other color. 2) Boost Mode is FAST but damn is it loud and get hot. I've turned boost off in Performance and left it on for Turbo when I do actually demanding tasks
I do think it's worth noting, while the lack of thunderbolt 3 is a big downside, you still have a USB-C port with Displayport 1.4, so you can still get away with an adapter that has tons of USB ports and multiple display outputs. Granted, not as much as a crazy thunderbolt dock and it's waste if you're already in that ecosystem, but you can still get a surprising amount of stuff plugged into one port.
Got mine yesterday. What an absolute gem! One seriously needs to take the time to learn and configure the various features because there are a lot of them. Two major points here: a lot of thunderbolt docks will work with the usb-c ports and learning the ins and outs of the iGPU vs GTX are important. For office work, turn on the iGPU and put it in silent mode. The usb-c port ties directly to the GTX whereas the HDMI port doesn't.
I've had thunderbolt 3 on many of my machines and honestly even as a creator I rarely use its funcationality. They usb c with PD and display port works great and NO creator of any size is editing or transcoding on a laptop. Unless you are away from your production environment. This is also partially why Thunderbolt 4 implementation stalled for so long. A lack of interest.
@@jwork5680 on black vs white? The same. If you mean on the laptop in general? It shouldn’t be thermal throttling, and should max out at around 90. However, it’ll always be much hotter than a PC, that’s just how laptops are
Just got this exact model a couple of days ago. the best computer Ive personally have had lol. so far so great, I love everything about it. I had a HP envy for 3 years which treated me well but this just blows it out of the water. If you want the quality of making your own rig but willing to expend a little more dash for the luxury of a laptop. This is what you’re looking for
Just bought this. Keys feel weird and I don't love the look, but the actual press of the keys is perfectly clean. Fan noise: I'm weird on this, I don't think silence is a good thing when the device is trying to tell you its roasting on the inside. However, the fan noise is pretty acceptable and won't embarrass you at the coffee shop. My overall: this thing is so darn SNAPPY. Updates? Blink and they're done. Open a window, BAM. Browsing the internet at 144 Hz is unbelievable too and hard to go back. The price is unbeatable and quite frankly, that much power for the price makes my own nit picks irrelevant. Buy it. Seriously, buy it. It will hold you over MORE THAN ENOUGH until the desktop parts are back in stock at MSRP.
@@lisaskywalker8419 It does. I keep it on a cooler and the keys towards the screen are measurably hotter. It doesn't bother me but that's the truth. I still love it. Best to you!
@@justinsugay1149thanks! just heard someone saying that the 2020 burn their fingers and they cannot play more than 10 min on the high performance lol. I think you just have to get use to it it cannot be that tragic. Getting a cooler base sounds like a good idea too
I find the USB C with DP support adequate for my needs in minimising the number of cables that go into my g14 since most normal USB C hubs do provide most of my IO needs at a much cheaper price than thunderbolts. But I guess it does suck if you already invested in thunderbolt accessories.
I have the G14 2020 version, still holding on to it and easily one of my favorite laptops to use for everything from gaming to productivity. Still use an M1 Mac for Final Cut Pro, but the G14 is definitely the go to machine for best overall value. Very tempted in getting the 2021 though but I need to pay for double pane windows in the next few months. 😅
I had the same vr issues with the G15. I found it worked when I plugged it into an external display and reset it... I was told that remove the Optimus issues?... That defeats the purpose of having a mobile VR setup, but that's what I got to work.
I picked up this laptop as well and I love it. I use it mainly to edit my drone vids on the go. I love the feel of it too. pair this with a logitechg604 mouse and it's a beast for on the go gaming as well.
Me to man, I have it hooked up to a 24" 144hz 1080p IPS display and I would even go as far to say it's also a beast for being your main gaming PC at home. Especially (according to Linus tech tips) what the average gamer is using right now, a GTX 980 or similar. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!! Congrats 🙂
@@vaisakhkswami857 In my opinion, it depends what you’re looking for. The G15 has less performance but comes in a slimmer form factor with longer battery life. On the contrary, the Strix G17 has more of a gamery-look to it, but performs better and is thicker.
If you had to read the spec sheet to notice that there is no webcam, there is no need for a webcam. For Zoom meetings any phone on a tripod has better quality then 720p webcam garbage anyway. IMO the two biggest downsides are lack of USB4/TB and Ethernet. The G15 has an Ethernet port but then it's much bigger and lacks a PrnScr key for whatever insane reason.
@@surgeex2088 little disappointed in gaming performance. Not sure if it's because the 16 gig ram ( which I upgraded to 40 gig). Still. My rtx 2060 laptop I think does better. Unsure the problem .
I mean. Tbh most people don't use SD card slots and imo it's fine to remove the sd card slot from laptops. I can't remember the last time I used it on a laptop and most of the people who ik don't use it much either. It's only a problem for content creators who often need to transfer footage from their camera but like that's definitely a minority, and if you happen to be a part of that minority, just use a donglr
I was on the fence with this and the m15 during the bestbuy sale. I still have a week left to return it and your video just made my trigger finger itch for a return.
I am going to buy Zephyrus G14 (RTX3060, AMD Ryzen9 5900hs, 16gb RAM) in six days. Actually I have already ordered it. It's so nice to hear all of those good things about my future laptop. But I am worried about one thing. It's about its screen. Is 14'' too small for gaming? I am going to use it mainly for gaming because I have another one to work. Looking forward for your answer. Robert, Russia. p.s.: Your pronunciation is so good that I am watching this without any subtitles (not a native-speaker) ;)
Just bought one for gaming, after a decade and a half on a Mac. Xbox app won’t open, the audio glitches and lags behind the video, all updates are the latest and did all the troubleshooting. Even reset my whole laptop. Suddenly remembered why I left windows.
virtual desktop for quest 2 vr works perfectly with the same spec, have you tried that? plus you don't need a cable or to tinker with any bitrates or adjustments? works perfect for me on the same laptop here
Indeed. Actually, it's the only way I could use the Quest 2 on this very laptop. Oculus Link does not work, no matter what I do (manual GPU selection, disabling iGPU, connecting via WiFi, trying different USB ports and cables). SteamVR runs like a charm, without any additional configuration though.
I'm lucky when I bought this laptop (Zephyrus G14), I got a free rog webcam and mouse as a freebies. Those little extra freebies makes this laptop perfect.
I just got this laptop after selling my Dell g7 7790 and I cant wait for it to get here. This will be the most powerful computer i have ever owned and the price is just a steal.
My 2021 G14 has been great, but mine is lava hot during gaming sessions. Performance is largely stable, and I'm not getting any reported throttling though. Area specifically on the status lights has got to be well north of 120F - burn hot. I've seen mixed results here - you are saying yours doesn't get that hot? Perhaps this is a relative statement - can you touch and hold your finger on the status light area during games?
Try reducing the TDP on the CPU in a way that you will not lose performance in games and undervolt your GPU in order for it to heat up less. You can also slightly underclock your GPU and undervolt it further.
@@Detec_ phenominal and amazingly small power house for what it is, playing outriders is great, super smooth, does get loud under heavy load but cools off very fast so cant complain, battrey life is unreal, just browsing the web gets me just shy of 10hrs life with 50% screen brighness, only had a day with it but i am very very happy so far, for what i need its amazing :)
@@Detec_ honestly yeah one thing i have noticed the touch pad is a bit iffy sometimes i press on it and it wont register but when i press again and a bit more pressure it works completly fine, tbh it just might be me, other than that noting else comes to mind, very happy with mine :)
Asus gives you an app to use your phone's camera as the webcam. I'll just use my Fuji as my web came for the times I need it. :) I hear you on the Thunderbolt 3, I'm just as disappointed because my docking station will not work with it. However, I find that I'm always trying to talk myself out of liking it and just upgrading my desktop, but I can't help it, I just love this little machine in spite of its flaws. Of course the one issue I have, that you left out, is the location of the exhaust fan ports... I get playing an FPS for an hour or two and that side port starts roasting my mouse hand! So, the places you touch the laptop isn't too bad, but that mouse hand, boy does that get toasty! Anyway, this really is the most well balanced Laptop on the market! Neither the RTX 3060, nor the 5900HS bottleneck each other. Also, 1080P for a 14" Laptop is damn near perfect so everything looks sharp and clean.
Good video. There are Non-Thunderbolt USB-C docks out there that work well for people who want to have a single-cable dock solution and don't already have a Thunderbolt dock. I have a Lenovo ThinkPad branded powered dock that is USB-C that works well with my non-Thunderbolt laptops, and I've got a KB, mouse, trackball, webcam, ethernet, headset, and two monitors hooked up to it. It provides enough power to the laptop as well. Of course if I needed to use accessories that take advantage of the TB bandwidth I can't do that. However I personally don't. If I had a setup that revolved around TB3 and wasn't compatible with standard USB-C then it'd be really inconvenient, so I can understand that frustration.
(3:10)I find pc vr with oculus a awful experience. I got a Ryzen 3700x and RTX 2070 super. Launching oculus home eats up memory and performance and booting up to steam vr eats up all my memory on graphics card. I kinda get around this by launching apps outside steam vr and directly to game but I still lose performance and memory due to oculus home running in background. First fix would be get rid of oculus home and use quests built in OS to launch PC vr stuff. Oculus showed a ux design to do this but never implemented it.
I have had keyboard problems where my backspace key, D, E, 3, = keys dont work i am using external keyboard and I don't want to carry an external keyboard everytime I have to take it away from my table and I need help please
@2:25 OK, so I haven't had to buy a laptop in a decade and I have been pretty confused about USB-C (PD and DP over USB C) vs Thunderbolt. From what I understood was that the TB licensing is only intel, but I should still be able to get all the benefits bar an egpu. I actually just bought this laptop and have it hooked to my Dell W19TB Dock and I am getting dual 144hz 1440p monitor output with all my peripherals working off the dock. What kind of issues did you run into because I want to make sure I didnt miss anything before I make my decision on keeping this.
I'm over a year late, but Thunderbolt has a specific spec that is proprietary to Intel that many docking stations use exclusively. There's no working around it. Some super high end Ryzen motherboards costing $500 and up have it, but that's about it. That said, USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 are one and the same so going forward AMD laptops will have USB4 and connect to Thunderbolt docks just fine.
You can get a USB-C to display port cable which will connect directly to your dedicated graphics instead of the integrated which causes bottlenecking. The HDMI is unfortunately connected through the integrated. But that's only if you want to optimize as much as possible. Still works super well
@@marcusbardan3622 doing as you recommend, using a dongle to display port to a higher rez monitor, can I expect to get only the 1920x1080? or will it go to 2560x1600 (monitor supported of course)? tia
@@GordonActual I think that depends on your cable. I think my cable supports 165hz with 2k res. But it's a cheaper cable, was like 10-15 dollars. I'm sure there are way better cables
@@marcusbardan3622 thanks, I'm not a gamer, and will primarily be using it with an external monitor, just mobile use will be limited to slight tweaks of spreadsheets.

@@GordonActual I get that, I studied finance and working on some IA consulting projects. Spreadsheets all day. I realized that 144hz monitors helps with eye strain because there's less blur and choppy movement. If your monitor can support it, I'd try to maximize the cable quality. Good luck!
Webcams on Laptops, and even Macbooks are so disappointing, I was more than happy to pickup a Logitech Brio. Quality is topnotch, and my G14 is a beast

I have just given my MacBook back to my old work. Now I need a laptop to edit my videos. However I tried iPad and the file managing is so slow. I was thinking of windows gaming laptop so I can also play wow classic too and video edit. Which free video editor would you compare with lumafusion or iMovie for windows? Thank you
Razer laptops have stuck to intel for long. If your work flow doesn’t specifically require intel, G14 is a good choice. Better power efficiency and multicore score for ~$400 less (depends on respective configurations of course) Edit: Lack of webcam sucks though
Depends on your requirements .If you want mobility and no desire of upgrading hardware such as RAM and SSD.G14 might be your top priority. If not ,please go for another .
Does your G14 occasionally make a ‘chik chik’ sound when the fans are blowing quite hard? (As in when one has just finished gaming). Also, does your G14’s chassis creak slightly when handled (or when the lid is opened/closed)? Thanks
I mean, it's completely up to personal preference, g15 will give you better performance and a larger screen But it'll be larger to carry around ofc. I personally would prefer g14 but it's completely up to you
It is very silly for the number of sales Asus are likely to lose. I can't believe the people on here saying Webcam quality is an issue! It's for meetings! You don't need HDR, 4K FFS!
G14 for portability, G15 for raw performance (if you are an extreme power user and if you want a better high refresh rate screen). G15 has better cooling as well.
@@PasserbyP G15 is a laptop, yes, but it's heavier and bigger. 14" laptops generally fit into backpacks very well, but 15" laptops are either a tight fit (especially if you put the laptop in a carrying bag or a carrying sleeve to make sure it's safe in the backpack), or are only to be carried in a separate bag, which is a hassle. 14" laptops can also generally be handled with one hand, especially thin&light ultrabooks. But the components need to be shrunk down because there is little space to work with, so something like the G14 only has a 60W Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, which is obviously going to be slower than on a bigger laptop that can house bigger cooling, like the Lenovo Legion 5 that has like a 130W TDP for the RTX 3060 versions.
Hey just found out the oculus will try using the cpu graphics have to disable them or can change option to only use graphics card. Look up videos to do this.
Did you change any settings to do not have any problems with your CPU temperature during LONG workloads? I have G15 and with that I got a lot of problems with overheating, the thing just randomly goes asleep when cpu gets to 95C. (happened a lot while games are ON, once happened with me using just Chrome). I had to change cpu boost mode, register records, turn off some apps etc etc. And it still goes dark sometimes. Few people sad the same thing and on Reddit they just suggest to turn off the boost mode out of the box. What leads me to the conclusion that all 5900hs have overheating problem. What was your experience with that? What do you think should I do? Thank you.
@@vladislavkudriavtcev5809 I game on mine playing hours of cyberpunk and i don't have any overheating issues on mine, I have the same issue with my oculus quest 2 lagging even with virtual link but I haven't tried any other games besides half life alyx.
Sorry but I disagree that most people will buy a Webcam for a laptop. They will buy a laptop with a Webcam. They are good enough for what they are used, meetings.
@@alecspyrou2134 but this is advertised for a gaming laptop. i bought this laptop not for the webcam but for the specs lol. If the webcam is such a concern, i recommend looking elsewhere and dont waste your money on this laptop. look for like an ipad pro something.
Though we enjoyed our collection of VHS tapes, cassettes tapes, DVDs, etc, at some point you have to stop buying new items with the old tech thats supported less and less by the day. Dodging USB-A and Micro-USB is completely worth it. The experience of having my two USB-C monitors connected to my XPS 9500 via USB-C/TB3, which is wirelessly connected to my (cheap) USB-C & BT5 mouse, and a Keychrone K1 (love that thing) cements "my move forward already" perspective to people buying new items since 2020 with either a USB-A or Micro-USB port or connector only, when there are USB-C, USB4, or TB3/4 alternatives.
My issue with the G14 comes squarely down to pricing. So this goes for $1500. The G15 which is pretty much superior in every way goes for 1750. As I intend to use my laptop on a plane once that's a thing, that's why I was looking into this, but I think for the relative pricing, g15 is a no brainer. This would be a better value at like 1300ish (I mean it would be amazing around $1000 but it just came out, I think $1300 is fair for the form factor).
The issue is that this is 2000 in europe and the 1660 ti is still fucking 1500 here. I'm buying one for 1150 second hand cuz of this bullshit pricing. Disgusting man
I just ordered mine. I’m a apple person, but I needed a top gaming laptop in windows platform. This is it. Great review. Question. You used the Cinebench to test CPU, what do you use to test the GPU’s ?
Have you found out yet? One channel Bob of All Trades I think.. bald guy played the 2020 and 2021 with the 144hz. He said he didn't test it but it was noticeably faster than last years but still with a little ghosting. He didn't test it though. I did notice all the cheaper 3050 models are 144hz too which means they'll likely be the same panels as the 3060 and thus probably pretty cheap. Still IPS though I think. If it had at least 3 to 5ms they'd probably advertise it or put it on the sticker on the panel so it's likely to be between 10-20. Then again I've seen lots of reviews specifically 144hz and nobody has said it's awful, they did for last year's though. So in conclusion.. no idea.
@@Phantom-fi8sc 😂 bro if it doesn't affect your livelihood, then gizmotechslips mentioned you'd definitely expect the G14 to last 5 years plus, since it's well built and has enough horsepower to remain modern for a long time (cpu & gpu). I have pre-ordered one and will sell my current laptop. If the price is too much for you, you could buy a previous generation g14 which I've seen on sale in several places, and upgrade some point down the line.

They didn't remove it. It never had one to start with and it's so inconvenient having to pull out a Webcam with cable and attach it to the laptop. It is just so archaic.
@@alecspyrou2134 Laptops traditionally have one regardless of brand or build.

@@Ifalvarado any gaming laptop can be set up to be used at 100% performance unplugged but your battery is going to die in 20 minutes so unplugged performance is not really something you measure on gaming laptops.
Most gaming laptops are done to be used pretty much like desktop laptops that you can move.
@@uy9572 Wrong. The performance will lower because of the wattage provided by the battery is much lower than the power bricks provided, for example, you have power bricks over the 150-200watt range that does full energy drive while batteries are much lower than 100 watt range; the Geforces will lower performance to match as what the battery provided along with the cpus. Their 3000 series has better energy efficiency, that and along with AMD processors, its a nice balance. I have a macbook pro 16 inch 5600m that is equivalent to the 2060 and it uses only 50 watts for the gpu alone at full performance.
Does this laptop get too hot while gaming? I read a few reviews like that and now im scared to buy it.
@@lisaskywalker8419 I got it a few weeks ago and as long as you have a cooling base it gets pretty much not hot at all you can play most games with the silent fan profile which prioritizes temperature over performance and even then most games will run perfectly at max graphics due to the amount of power it has.

Thankyou for this info, I was disappointed I ordered this laptop then heard it doesn't play well with oculus. That's the primary reason I bought it.
Having said that I would like to know what you did to fix it.
If you open the Nvidia control panel and choose to manage 3D settings, then choose your preferred graphics processor it seems to force the GPU to be used.. you can also change it from the Armory I believe. First laptop in 8 years and loving it!!
I've only had it a few days and love it. Two things I don't care for are
1) The white backlight on the keyboard, wish it was literally any other color.
2) Boost Mode is FAST but damn is it loud and get hot. I've turned boost off in Performance and left it on for Turbo when I do actually demanding tasks
I do think it's worth noting, while the lack of thunderbolt 3 is a big downside, you still have a USB-C port with Displayport 1.4, so you can still get away with an adapter that has tons of USB ports and multiple display outputs. Granted, not as much as a crazy thunderbolt dock and it's waste if you're already in that ecosystem, but you can still get a surprising amount of stuff plugged into one port.
Got mine yesterday. What an absolute gem! One seriously needs to take the time to learn and configure the various features because there are a lot of them. Two major points here: a lot of thunderbolt docks will work with the usb-c ports and learning the ins and outs of the iGPU vs GTX are important. For office work, turn on the iGPU and put it in silent mode. The usb-c port ties directly to the GTX whereas the HDMI port doesn't.
how's the battery life? Might get one but I'm enjoying my macbook M2 battery life
@@FunKaYxxD1sCO12 hours no internet, 2 hours gaming
I've had thunderbolt 3 on many of my machines and honestly even as a creator I rarely use its funcationality. They usb c with PD and display port works great and NO creator of any size is editing or transcoding on a laptop. Unless you are away from your production environment. This is also partially why Thunderbolt 4 implementation stalled for so long. A lack of interest.
Have used this laptop for about 6ish months. Can honestly say it is the best decision I have ever made. I use the laptop every day.
Bro just asking, do u use the white or black one? Im getting a headache thinking which one i should choose to buy lol😂
@@meesup5672 I have the white one only because the black one wasn't available when I got mine, otherwise, I would have gotten the black one.
@@meesup5672 most people prefer black as far as I know because the dark looks better and more consistent than the white and silver
how's the thermals
@@jwork5680 on black vs white? The same. If you mean on the laptop in general? It shouldn’t be thermal throttling, and should max out at around 90. However, it’ll always be much hotter than a PC, that’s just how laptops are
Its so sad for brazilians when we go look out for these machine prices, here it’s around 4,5k usd, in reais it cost something like 26k!!
Same here in India as well, not around 4-5k USD though. But easily around 2-2.5k USD.
Your laptop Reviews are next level
Just got this exact model a couple of days ago. the best computer Ive personally have had lol. so far so great, I love everything about it. I had a HP envy for 3 years which treated me well but this just blows it out of the water. If you want the quality of making your own rig but willing to expend a little more dash for the luxury of a laptop. This is what you’re looking for
8:27 absolutely!
Just bought this. Keys feel weird and I don't love the look, but the actual press of the keys is perfectly clean. Fan noise: I'm weird on this, I don't think silence is a good thing when the device is trying to tell you its roasting on the inside. However, the fan noise is pretty acceptable and won't embarrass you at the coffee shop. My overall: this thing is so darn SNAPPY. Updates? Blink and they're done. Open a window, BAM. Browsing the internet at 144 Hz is unbelievable too and hard to go back. The price is unbeatable and quite frankly, that much power for the price makes my own nit picks irrelevant. Buy it. Seriously, buy it. It will hold you over MORE THAN ENOUGH until the desktop parts are back in stock at MSRP.
Don't love the look of the KEYS. Laptop looks great 👌
Picked it up last week for 1300 with the specs: 5900HS 3060 16gb RAM 1TB SSD 1080p 144hz and it was the best deal ever!
Just ordered mine. Picking it up this weekend!
Does this laptop get too hot while gaming? I read a few reviews like that and now im scared to buy it.
@@lisaskywalker8419 It does. I keep it on a cooler and the keys towards the screen are measurably hotter. It doesn't bother me but that's the truth. I still love it. Best to you!
@@justinsugay1149thanks! just heard someone saying that the 2020 burn their fingers and they cannot play more than 10 min on the high performance lol. I think you just have to get use to it it cannot be that tragic. Getting a cooler base sounds like a good idea too
I find the USB C with DP support adequate for my needs in minimising the number of cables that go into my g14 since most normal USB C hubs do provide most of my IO needs at a much cheaper price than thunderbolts. But I guess it does suck if you already invested in thunderbolt accessories.
Yeah its good unless you already have that ecosystem built up.
I have the G14 2020 version, still holding on to it and easily one of my favorite laptops to use for everything from gaming to productivity. Still use an M1 Mac for Final Cut Pro, but the G14 is definitely the go to machine for best overall value. Very tempted in getting the 2021 though but I need to pay for double pane windows in the next few months. 😅
@AVOCADO what's wrong with that? Just curious

Laptop of the year IMO
Waiting for mine to arrive 😁
I had the same vr issues with the G15. I found it worked when I plugged it into an external display and reset it... I was told that remove the Optimus issues?... That defeats the purpose of having a mobile VR setup, but that's what I got to work.
I picked up this laptop as well and I love it. I use it mainly to edit my drone vids on the go. I love the feel of it too. pair this with a logitechg604 mouse and it's a beast for on the go gaming as well.
Me to man, I have it hooked up to a 24" 144hz 1080p IPS display and I would even go as far to say it's also a beast for being your main gaming PC at home. Especially (according to Linus tech tips) what the average gamer is using right now, a GTX 980 or similar.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!! Congrats 🙂
Can you compare the Zephyrus g15 and Strix g17 pls?
Thats like comparing a sports car and a mini-van, I cant imagine anyone is actually cross shopping those.
@@bfish9700 which is better?
@@vaisakhkswami857 In my opinion, it depends what you’re looking for. The G15 has less performance but comes in a slimmer form factor with longer battery life. On the contrary, the Strix G17 has more of a gamery-look to it, but performs better and is thicker.
If you had to read the spec sheet to notice that there is no webcam, there is no need for a webcam. For Zoom meetings any phone on a tripod has better quality then 720p webcam garbage anyway.
IMO the two biggest downsides are lack of USB4/TB and Ethernet. The G15 has an Ethernet port but then it's much bigger and lacks a PrnScr key for whatever insane reason.
Thanks for the great review! Just bought one yesterday!
How’s it so far? Does it have any lagging problems or anything?

I mean. Tbh most people don't use SD card slots and imo it's fine to remove the sd card slot from laptops. I can't remember the last time I used it on a laptop and most of the people who ik don't use it much either.

how is it
Would love to see some comparisons between the two models with different GPUs: G14 w/ Nvidia 3060 and G14 with AMD RX 6700S
I was on the fence with this and the m15 during the bestbuy sale. I still have a week left to return it and your video just made my trigger finger itch for a return.
I am going to buy Zephyrus G14 (RTX3060, AMD Ryzen9 5900hs, 16gb RAM) in six days. Actually I have already ordered it. It's so nice to hear all of those good things about my future laptop. But I am worried about one thing. It's about its screen. Is 14'' too small for gaming? I am going to use it mainly for gaming because I have another one to work.
Looking forward for your answer. Robert, Russia.
p.s.: Your pronunciation is so good that I am watching this without any subtitles (not a native-speaker) ;)
How is 14” for gaming? Have you considered an external monitor? It gives more FPS.
Just bought one for gaming, after a decade and a half on a Mac. Xbox app won’t open, the audio glitches and lags behind the video, all updates are the latest and did all the troubleshooting. Even reset my whole laptop. Suddenly remembered why I left windows.
I’m getting this laptop to open up Word on it.
virtual desktop for quest 2 vr works perfectly with the same spec, have you tried that? plus you don't need a cable or to tinker with any bitrates or adjustments? works perfect for me on the same laptop here
Indeed. Actually, it's the only way I could use the Quest 2 on this very laptop. Oculus Link does not work, no matter what I do (manual GPU selection, disabling iGPU, connecting via WiFi, trying different USB ports and cables). SteamVR runs like a charm, without any additional configuration though.
I'm lucky when I bought this laptop (Zephyrus G14), I got a free rog webcam and mouse as a freebies. Those little extra freebies makes this laptop perfect.
I just got this laptop after selling my Dell g7 7790 and I cant wait for it to get here. This will be the most powerful computer i have ever owned and the price is just a steal.

@@lisaskywalker8419 depends on what you mean by hot, the deck is not uncomfortably hot and no modern technology will damage itself
My 2021 G14 has been great, but mine is lava hot during gaming sessions. Performance is largely stable, and I'm not getting any reported throttling though. Area specifically on the status lights has got to be well north of 120F - burn hot. I've seen mixed results here - you are saying yours doesn't get that hot? Perhaps this is a relative statement - can you touch and hold your finger on the status light area during games?
same problem here. it gets too hot that its unbearable
Try reducing the TDP on the CPU in a way that you will not lose performance in games and undervolt your GPU in order for it to heat up less. You can also slightly underclock your GPU and undervolt it further.
Same thing here on 2 different systems.
I just returned mine, the ghosting was too distracting, the panel needs to be better to be usable
I figured that'd be a problem
Can you try the zephyrus g15

In the whole homeschooling phase i needed my webcam exactly three times
Right? No more nasty tape marks from covering the one I never use.
Asus gives you an app to use your phone's camera as the webcam. I'll just use my Fuji as my web came for the times I need it. :)
I hear you on the Thunderbolt 3, I'm just as disappointed because my docking station will not work with it.
However, I find that I'm always trying to talk myself out of liking it and just upgrading my desktop, but I can't help it, I just love this little machine in spite of its flaws. Of course the one issue I have, that you left out, is the location of the exhaust fan ports... I get playing an FPS for an hour or two and that side port starts roasting my mouse hand! So, the places you touch the laptop isn't too bad, but that mouse hand, boy does that get toasty!
Anyway, this really is the most well balanced Laptop on the market! Neither the RTX 3060, nor the 5900HS bottleneck each other. Also, 1080P for a 14" Laptop is damn near perfect so everything looks sharp and clean.
Good video.
There are Non-Thunderbolt USB-C docks out there that work well for people who want to have a single-cable dock solution and don't already have a Thunderbolt dock. I have a Lenovo ThinkPad branded powered dock that is USB-C that works well with my non-Thunderbolt laptops, and I've got a KB, mouse, trackball, webcam, ethernet, headset, and two monitors hooked up to it. It provides enough power to the laptop as well.
Of course if I needed to use accessories that take advantage of the TB bandwidth I can't do that. However I personally don't. If I had a setup that revolved around TB3 and wasn't compatible with standard USB-C then it'd be really inconvenient, so I can understand that frustration.
(3:10)I find pc vr with oculus a awful experience. I got a Ryzen 3700x and RTX 2070 super. Launching oculus home eats up memory and performance and booting up to steam vr eats up all my memory on graphics card. I kinda get around this by launching apps outside steam vr and directly to game but I still lose performance and memory due to oculus home running in background. First fix would be get rid of oculus home and use quests built in OS to launch PC vr stuff. Oculus showed a ux design to do this but never implemented it.

@2:25 OK, so I haven't had to buy a laptop in a decade and I have been pretty confused about USB-C (PD and DP over USB C) vs Thunderbolt. From what I understood was that the TB licensing is only intel, but I should still be able to get all the benefits bar an egpu. I actually just bought this laptop and have it hooked to my Dell W19TB Dock and I am getting dual 144hz 1440p monitor output with all my peripherals working off the dock. What kind of issues did you run into because I want to make sure I didnt miss anything before I make my decision on keeping this.
I'm over a year late, but Thunderbolt has a specific spec that is proprietary to Intel that many docking stations use exclusively. There's no working around it. Some super high end Ryzen motherboards costing $500 and up have it, but that's about it.
That said, USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 are one and the same so going forward AMD laptops will have USB4 and connect to Thunderbolt docks just fine.
Have you used this with an external monitor?
You can get a USB-C to display port cable which will connect directly to your dedicated graphics instead of the integrated which causes bottlenecking. The HDMI is unfortunately connected through the integrated. But that's only if you want to optimize as much as possible. Still works super well
@@marcusbardan3622 doing as you recommend, using a dongle to display port to a higher rez monitor, can I expect to get only the 1920x1080? or will it go to 2560x1600 (monitor supported of course)?

@@GordonActual I think that depends on your cable. I think my cable supports 165hz with 2k res. But it's a cheaper cable, was like 10-15 dollars. I'm sure there are way better cables
@@marcusbardan3622 thanks, I'm not a gamer, and will primarily be using it with an external monitor, just mobile use will be limited to slight tweaks of spreadsheets.

@@GordonActual I get that, I studied finance and working on some IA consulting projects. Spreadsheets all day. I realized that 144hz monitors helps with eye strain because there's less blur and choppy movement. If your monitor can support it, I'd try to maximize the cable quality. Good luck!

Asus Zephyrus G14 vs Razer Blade 15 ?
Razer laptops have stuck to intel for long. If your work flow doesn’t specifically require intel, G14 is a good choice. Better power efficiency and multicore score for ~$400 less (depends on respective configurations of course)
Edit: Lack of webcam sucks though
Depends on your requirements .If you want mobility and no desire of upgrading hardware such as RAM and SSD.G14 might be your top priority. If not ,please go for another .
Does your G14 occasionally make a ‘chik chik’ sound when the fans are blowing quite hard? (As in when one has just finished gaming). Also, does your G14’s chassis creak slightly when handled (or when the lid is opened/closed)? Thanks
Love the videos!!! Would you recommend the G14 over the G15?
I mean, it's completely up to personal preference, g15 will give you better performance and a larger screen
But it'll be larger to carry around ofc.
I personally would prefer g14 but it's completely up to you
i like this laptop with that specs and size, but no webcam is def a deal breaker for me :(
Lol webcam much?
It is very silly for the number of sales Asus are likely to lose. I can't believe the people on here saying Webcam quality is an issue! It's for meetings! You don't need HDR, 4K FFS!
You can always buy an external one or use your phone with a webcam, it’s not that hard.
G14 or G15? How bad is it to run an asynchronous ram set up with the soldered ram?
G14 for portability, G15 for raw performance (if you are an extreme power user and if you want a better high refresh rate screen). G15 has better cooling as well.
@@one_step_sideways but like isn't G15 itself ultra portable? That's where i'm confused.
@@PasserbyP G15 is a laptop, yes, but it's heavier and bigger. 14" laptops generally fit into backpacks very well, but 15" laptops are either a tight fit (especially if you put the laptop in a carrying bag or a carrying sleeve to make sure it's safe in the backpack), or are only to be carried in a separate bag, which is a hassle. 14" laptops can also generally be handled with one hand, especially thin&light ultrabooks. But the components need to be shrunk down because there is little space to work with, so something like the G14 only has a 60W Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, which is obviously going to be slower than on a bigger laptop that can house bigger cooling, like the Lenovo Legion 5 that has like a 130W TDP for the RTX 3060 versions.
still worth grabbing a used one for 900€? I got a pretty neat one available I could buy
Hey just found out the oculus will try using the cpu graphics have to disable them or can change option to only use graphics card. Look up videos to do this.
Did you change any settings to do not have any problems with your CPU temperature during LONG workloads? I have G15 and with that I got a lot of problems with overheating, the thing just randomly goes asleep when cpu gets to 95C. (happened a lot while games are ON, once happened with me using just Chrome). I had to change cpu boost mode, register records, turn off some apps etc etc. And it still goes dark sometimes. Few people sad the same thing and on Reddit they just suggest to turn off the boost mode out of the box. What leads me to the conclusion that all 5900hs have overheating problem. What was your experience with that? What do you think should I do? Thank you.
And LONG workloads are not always that long, the worst I got it’s like 15 minutes between overheating issues.

Though we enjoyed our collection of VHS tapes, cassettes tapes, DVDs, etc, at some point you have to stop buying new items with the old tech thats supported less and less by the day. Dodging USB-A and Micro-USB is completely worth it. The experience of having my two USB-C monitors connected to my XPS 9500 via USB-C/TB3, which is wirelessly connected to my (cheap) USB-C & BT5 mouse, and a Keychrone K1 (love that thing) cements "my move forward already" perspective to people buying new items since 2020 with either a USB-A or Micro-USB port or connector only, when there are USB-C, USB4, or TB3/4 alternatives.
USB-A is not dying any time soon
My issue with the G14 comes squarely down to pricing. So this goes for $1500. The G15 which is pretty much superior in every way goes for 1750. As I intend to use my laptop on a plane once that's a thing, that's why I was looking into this, but I think for the relative pricing, g15 is a no brainer. This would be a better value at like 1300ish (I mean it would be amazing around $1000 but it just came out, I think $1300 is fair for the form factor).
The issue is that this is 2000 in europe and the 1660 ti is still fucking 1500 here. I'm buying one for 1150 second hand cuz of this bullshit pricing. Disgusting man
Just picked up this model of the G14 for around 1000 bucks. It's killer at that price.
I just ordered mine. I’m a apple person, but I needed a top gaming laptop in windows platform. This is it. Great review. Question. You used the Cinebench to test CPU, what do you use to test the GPU’s ?

How is the keyboard getting hot going for you?
may i know the latency of that screen? FHD 144hz, cant seems to find it, searched but it showed the latency of 1440p version.
Have you found out yet? One channel Bob of All Trades I think.. bald guy played the 2020 and 2021 with the 144hz. He said he didn't test it but it was noticeably faster than last years but still with a little ghosting. He didn't test it though. I did notice all the cheaper 3050 models are 144hz too which means they'll likely be the same panels as the 3060 and thus probably pretty cheap. Still IPS though I think. If it had at least 3 to 5ms they'd probably advertise it or put it on the sticker on the panel so it's likely to be between 10-20. Then again I've seen lots of reviews specifically 144hz and nobody has said it's awful, they did for last year's though.
So in conclusion.. no idea.
What’s the 3060 wattage of this laptop?
60w with 80wboost

I had an issue with this laptop where when I restarted the laptop and then afterword it said that there were no Bluetooth or wifi available and that they were off and not available in the model. This is my first experience with AMD and i had to return it. I know that the model has both Wifi and Bluetooth because i had them connected before. Tried a factory reset and had the same issue.
Maybe the wifi card got disconnected from the laptop itself, you can find it behind the ssd, it's not soldered, so if it is unplugged you can just put it to work again, hope the new machine works great, enjoy it!
I really want to pick one up after watching your series of videos!
This vs XPS 15 9500 - which one would you recommend for content creators (graphic and video editing)?
XPS9500 much better screen.
How does the rtx 3060 in this compare to the zephyrus m15 with rtx 2070? The 3060 has 6gb of ram and the rtx 2070 has 8gb.
Still torn between this and the 2021 razer blade 15
I would probably go ASUS unless you wanted VR support.
@@TheEverydayDad Thank you, I don't care about VR or the webcam really. Just wanted something good for school and programming. I have a Mac Mini M1 at home.
Good video man👍 I need some suggestions about this 2 laptop (ROG strix G15 R9 @ RTX3060) or ( ROG zephyrus G14 R7 @ RTX3050 ti) I am a engineering student, so I need to buy a laptop that I use for project and for gaming.. Thanks
Please, this G14 VS asus M16 VS Dell XPS 15 3050 Ti ? What do you think?
I just don't understand ASUS removing the webcam. This alone is pushing me towards the M1 MBA.
They didn't remove it. It never had one to start with and it's so inconvenient having to pull out a Webcam with cable and attach it to the laptop. It is just so archaic.
@@alecspyrou2134 Laptops traditionally have one regardless of brand or build. People associate laptops with having one automatically so when they didn't include it, it just looks like they removed a feature.
The webcam alone is stopping me from buying the G14. Wasting a precious USB port and having extra cables and clutter is so damn annoying.
@@professionalpotato4764 Thats the point I was making and I couldn't agree more. It may appear that Asus removed the Webcam and I can aporeciate that but the fact is they are trying sell accessories and don't realise when you have paid $2000+ on a state of the art laptop not having a Webcam is plainly ignorant of its customers needs.
