GamesRadar+ Verdict
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is a gaming laptop for all.
I was worried about the 2024AsusROG Zephyrus G14.
Change is scary and this is one of my favorite gaming laptops of all time.
This is where the G14 truly earns its spot among thebest gaming laptopson the market.
Design
The biggest change to the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 comes in its physical design.
It’s obvious, though, that Asus is taking the Zephyrus G14 beyond its gaming roots.
This is a glossy glass by itself, but can be illuminated with 28 mini LEDs for added flair.
That luxury feel extends to the build quality as well.
The OLED panel available here is a revelation.
DLSS 3 is also your saving grace here.
The keyboard feels super slick under the hand, with generously sized keycaps… for the main part.
The arrow keys are halved, making them a little difficult to hit in more frantic gameplay situations.
On top of all that the 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 still doesn’t compromise on its ports.
In-game the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 put on an excellent show.
The drop down to an RTX 4070 doesn’t cut quite so deep here either.
At these heights, that’s far from a sacrifice.
That RTX 4090 comparison is a little starker with this slightly more chaotic task, though.
This is a heavy one.
Returnal is still a demanding game for a slimline gaming laptop, and these numbers prove it.
It’s an indication of things to come, though.
Hitman 3’s benchmark gave us a far more clustered result.
While 1080p performance lagged ever so slightly behind the Razer Blade, QHD+ numbers were once again pulling ahead.
Should you buy the 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14?
This year is no different, but my recommendation comes with a slight caveat.
There’s a big but here, though.
Compared to the Razer Blade 14, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has another trick up its sleeve.
