Picked one up from Best Buy for $1000, pretty good deal, does get hot but that’s the trade off you get with so much power in such a small chassis
In my country, 6800hs / 6700s / 16 gb ram / 1 tb ssd / fhd+ @ 144 hz costs about 1572 $. Is it worth it? 😭
@@M4W07 hmmmm personally for me no, at $1500 I’m building a gaming desktop.
@@edwardmendez2393 oh, but I need a laptop bruv for college, I’ll have to travel. If I get a college in my home town, then next year I’ll build a monstrous 4090
you can undervolt the GPU for almost no significant performance drop, but the temp can drop to 20 Celcius
@@M4W07 Yes its worth it. 6800HS+6700S is a really good combination. Amd CPU + Amd GPU is called AMD Advantage, meaning it will give you the best battery life. Its battery backup will be better than the same laptop running Intel CPU or Nvidia GPU.
Asus Zephyrus G14 only gets hot when you really push the laptop. On ECO mode with DGPU disabled, it runs very cool and draws little power for day-to-day usage. An essential piece of software for it is GHelper which is a fully opensource Armoury Crate and MyAsus replacement and it works wonders. Laptop runs cooler and the battery lasts longer because of the much lower bloat. I would also recommend installing the official AMD graphics drivers instead of the ASUS ones, they work properly now with the laptop and I have gotten the lowest idle temps on the GPUs with the latest 23.7.1 AMD graphics drivers. I would also recommend changing the MediaTek MT7922 wireless card to a Intel AX210 as it works much better and many people have problems with those MediaTek cards such as MT7921 and MT7922 on new devices straight out of the box. These problems are not only localized to this laptop, its the same for the lenovo and acer laptops coming with those mediatek chips.
just got a 2022 G14 2nd hand reformatted.
Should I go with your advise because reddit has been going against your current advise, but that's when the AMD driver and AC had issues.
Are those fixed now really?
So I should install Ghelper, uninstall AC and also update AMD driver. Do we use myAsus then?
@@IamNinjaOfNinja you don't need MyAsuss to update. GHelper has a built-in updater. Almost everyone on the ZephyrusG14 subreddit uses Ghelper. You can also install Official AMD Graphics drivers too. I sm using the 23.7.2 drivers on my laptop these days and it works very well, it has lowered my CPU and Igpu idle temps alot. Just uninstall the previous Graphics drivers with DDU and install the new ones then.
@@IamNinjaOfNinja Hey man Im about to get the 2nd hand as well, How's everything holding up for you?
@@IamNinjaOfNinja YEs. install first new chipset drivers. Then install amd 23.9.1 drivers. Dont install 23.93.3 drivers because there´s latemcy issues when um turn ultimate mode on.
@@Wafaduckyo, did u buy it? hows it going so far
Hi, would you recommend getting the 2023 version with the zen3+ rtx 4050 or this one with the r7 6800HS and rx6700S. I thought the 2023 version would be better for me due to the higher resolution screen as I would also like to use the laptop for digital drawing.
Great and entertaing review. Got a sub 👍
great review!
Great review, i ended up buying the TUF 15 with 12650h / rtx 3070 and it suffers from the same problems of fan coil whine, heat under normal use and you can't undervolt the cpu, armory crate sucks and believe it or not i ended up using my good old Nitro 5 with the gtx 1060 more than my shiny torch from Asus
Hello guys ,Is the temperature issue solved ? Till now ? How is the temperature highest while gaming ? Somebody help
can confirm, 40gb ram works! I have the base model of the 2022, and i upgraded it with a 32gb stick, + 8gb on motherboard.
yeah but it will make ur lap slow back compare to 16 or 24 gb
is it worth it? I just bought the one you have and a Corsair 32gb stick. Some have even upgraded the wifi card.
@@Huntley926might as well replace the WiFi car while you’re in there, should take but 5 min, future proof
Love this review
I have strange problem with 402RJ model (6800HS, 6700S, 120Hz, 8GB RAM).
When I wake up laptop from sleep on battery, temps go up and laptop drain 30W (before sleep 8W, depends on mode). After I re plug power adapter it works again normal on battery. I would add that while there is an error, the use of the processor and graphics card remains at a very low level.
Error occurs only on iGPU and without charger plugged in (I need to do more tests to be sure).
Specification:
1) Hardware:
- added 32GB RAM
- new WiFi card to Intel AX210
2) Software
- Windows 11 (updated)
- Asus Armoury Create uninstalled and installed GHelper (ver. 0.118.0)
- all Asus services disabled through GHelper
- BIOS ver. 319 (ver. 318 same issue)
- original AMD drivers (31.0.12024.2005) and AMD Control Panel (23.8.1)
- Modern Standby changed to older S3 standby mode with "UniversalAMDFormBrowser" program (I didn't check on default "modern standby" mode yet)
Has anyone already had such a problem?
I'll do more thorough tests and update the comment.
Got the same style with AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS with Radeon Graphics 3.30 GHz 40GB of ram and 1Tb Storage
laptop is completely magnesium allow except the screen bezels the "metal panel" is aluminum.
I just bought this exact model, and for the moment, I am happy with it; what do you think about the 2023 model with RTX 40 Series? Did I make a mistake buying the AMD model? You will make a video regarding the battery and heat and how we can manage it better?
I definitely want to do more experimentation with heat management and battery life while using emulators. We'll see what I can come up with. 🤔
Hey is it a metal body or plastic model?
Can confirm, this model can be upgraded to 40GB of ram. As I did so myself to my g14. Specifically used a crucial 32GB ram stick
@Slap_Tech
Did you try to undervolt the 6700S ? Its locked but im told we can download the bios using GPu-Z bios and edit it with AMD more power tool..
What setting did u use on g helper to undervolt
i want to buy a good looking portable gaming laptop with good battery life, should i go with this or not?? im mainly worried about the thermals and the battery, also some driver issues like you mentioned about the eco mode, i mean sometimes it can't switch btw integrated and discreet gpu.
I love this laptop and hadno problems so far. Also still very powerful for gaming and even runs Alan wake quite well.
I don't plan to play on a laptop but having the possibility is not bad. Then I'm looking for something that is long-lasting, compact and lasts a long time on battery power. In various videos I have seen that it is very modular inside G14 :/ idk xD what do you think ?
(On the other hand i'm also seeing a used-like new macbook pro m1 14 which is at the same price)
If you're not picky about your graphics settings, might be worth looking into a 14" laptop with the AMD 6850U.
I am in the same situation, did you get this laptop?
@@SonganLP I bought a MacBook Air m1 for 900€ 😂😂 I was like “why wasting money” … I will not play on it 🫣😂
@@unknownology Makes sense lol. MacBook is 1500 euro here, so I will probably get the G14, also because I need windows.
The Zephyrus doesnt seem that fast looking at the benchmarks. I guess its fast for its size?
Yes, it benchmarks under a Core i5 12th gen, which is a little embarrassing. To provide some context, that Core i5 was benchmarked out of a Dell G15 and was fed 80 watts.
Since the Ryzen 9 in the G14 is only fed 50 watts, you can say it's just fast for its size.
fun review! i like mine, as a casual gamer/student.
can you tell me about the battery life and heating issues??
@@luqman6866 i can get 7 hours easily, on silent mode for websurfing.
It gets warm playing Project Reality 2. I dont play GPU intensive games, and don't care to try it on the battery.
The keyboard lighting uneveness is still there..
My laptops charging port will now forever be known as the "charging hole" Note to never eat cheetos while trying on white G14.
Cant believe people can pick this up for just below $1200 usd geez
Plasticy chassis? I thought its mafe of magnesium alloy
Yes, some versions are magnesium all around. This one is magnesium on the back of the display and plastic around the body.
what game is that @6:44?
Psychonauts 2
Yah, I get about the same battery life as your result. On average, on mixed use (no gaming) I could probably get 5 hours or less. A bit disappointing for me.
I bought a tiny 100watt usb c charger , to bring with me for on-the-go. Let's me leave the big brick it came with, at home for gaming.
@@le41cl I have a Legion 5i with the RTX 2060 (2020 model) and I hate the fact that I have to bring this huge brick on my backpack all the time. I had to travel for work recently and my God, I hated it bad. Do you have any idea if a tiny 100watt usb c charger like yours could work for this model? And if yes, do you have a recomendation on a good model?
you should ironically call your channel passive aggressive reviews LOL. not even in a bad way that would just be really funny
It has only one heat pipe per fan, yes, but the rest is a vapour chamber. Learn about the product before you review it.

What a garbage attempt at a review. Did you use AI to write and speak it?
Are you... okay?
