Stunning
Absolutely astonishing laptop. I had an m1 macbook air and while that was a great machine, I was missing being able to play games after getting some work done. This was the first 'macbook that can game' that really stood out to me, while actually being kinda affordable (I.E not the razerblades). Pros: -Screen-It's absolutely incredible. High refresh rate, amazing colors, could be brighter but it's bright enough. I also love watching movies at night with no visible black bars due to the pitch-black blacks. Viewing angles are ok, there’s a weird rainbow-effect when viewing at an angle -Build quality- I'd say this is 90 percent of the build of my air. The main issue I have is the hinge, it's not the best. The screen flexes ever so slightly when opening, and there is a quiet but noticeable creak/popping sound when opening. It's really no big deal, its a nit-pick, but the rock solid screen and uber-smooth hinge of my mac really made it a joy to use. Otherwise, it's a beautiful device, the cnc chassis feels super great. -The speakers-fantastic speakers, really they are way better than my air. Fantastic bass, but not much soundstage. Not sure about other macs, but I'd guess not as good. -Keyboard- oh how I love typing on this keyboard. 10/10, a big upgrade over my mac. And it has colors!! -Trackpad- not as good as my mac, but it's close and never have I wished I were using a mouse -I/O-fantastic I/O. I love the hdmi and the microSD. I can get footage off of my GoPro without a dongle now! -Fans/heat- It's a fan-less laptop when doing basic tasks like web-browsing and coding assignments for school. According to g-helper, the cpu is at 30c right now as I type this. Mind-blowingly cool and silent on silent mode with below settings. Even when gaming, it's faily quiet and cool on the wrist rest and keys, but hot above the keyboard on balanced mode, which is fantastic. I dunno why people say this laptop is a hot one, for me it’s not. Battery- It's pretty good!! I'd say almost exactly what i've been getting with my mac, which is a great surprise(about 10 hours of light use 50% brightness) Seriously, this is so amazing, my last gaming laptop I had was a GS65 from 2018 and that got like 3 hours. Cons- -Slightly creaky hinge -Some battery drain when not in use. -Soldered memory. This really really sucks. 16gb is perfectly fine for me now, but what about 2 years from now? This really should have come with 32gb, or had a 4060 option with 32gb. -Delay with airpods-ok this is not asus's fault. There is a fraction of a second delay when using my airpods. No biggy, but my mac didn't have this. For me, it’s the perfect laptop!! Well, if it had more ram, but I still love it. Heres the settings for g-helper I used, and some helpful tips as instructed from a very friendly redditor: Get G-helper, and make sure you used the armory crate uninstaller to completely uninstall that, alongside rog virtual pet etc Accross all modes(silent/balanced/turbo): In fans + power(right side of turbo), find CPU boost (the 2nd drop down menu with a rocket icon) and choose efficient aggressive. In the 'advanced' tab of this popup window, set undervolting at -10. You may look up on undervolting the g14 and may be able to push further than -10 but this is a safe starting value. For silent mode change the power limits to 80, 70 ,70 and check apply power limits. While on battery g helper will show the power draw. If you set gpu to optimised(rtx gpu off when its not plugged) and the screen mode to Auto(60hz while on battery/maxed when plugged), while browsing(light tasks) the usage should be under 10w, and you should experience better battery life.

Good computer, notable concerns for gaming.
Pros: - Beautiful screen and keyboard. Absolutely gorgeous laptop (I love the keyboard a lot). - The speakers are truly amazing. I don't use the computer speakers enough that this is a huge thing for me, but worth noting. - Runs everything I've tried smoothly and easily, haven't had any issues with performance at all so far (running everything on either balanced or performance mode; turbo mode makes it run at about 90 degrees C while gaming). - While it heats up when running games, it cools down pretty fast after the applications are closed. I haven't heard the fans hardly at all, it's nice and quiet. - Battery life was pretty good when I wasn't gaming. - Extremely quick startup time (competing with Chromebook for startup times). - I have had absolutely no problems with this computer itself in terms of running/downloading programs effectively and quickly. Cons: - Runs VERY HOT, I've only used this computer with a cooling mat and after playing two rounds of helldivers with nothing but Spotify and temp gauge open in the background, GPU and CPU were both sitting at 85 degrees C. I haven't had a temperature problem while doing anything other than gaming. I thought it might have been a product defect as this was an open box purchase, but based on the multitude of other reviews noting the temperature, I think this bad boy just doubles as an egg cooker. - Soldered RAM. This is not a concern for me because I don't need anything more than 16gb DDR5, but if you need something more, maybe a 32gb of at least DDR4 is better for you. I wish the computer didn't get so hot. That is really my only concern. It hasn't effected gameplay or anything else I've tried so far, but helldivers isn't a terribly difficult game to run, so such high temperatures for just that are definitely a concern. I love the look of this computer and I don't want to return it, but I haven't decided if the overheating is a dealbreaker for me or not. While I haven't personally tried the Lenovo Legion, I've seen no reviews claiming the same heat issues. Overall, I think that the ROG G14 is a great little laptop, and if you need a work computer that doubles as a little gaming PC occasionally, it's pretty much perfect. I would only recommend this to a friend that doesn't plan to game for extended periods of time, or use games that take a lot of umph to run.

The Macbook Pro of Windows
ASUS G14 2024 Model RTX 4060 16 GB RAM TL;DR Powerful, portable and despite what anyone would say it has great performance thanks to the RTX 4060 GPU although the RAM might be a little less. THE SCREEN IS MASSIVELY AMAZING. It’s a great choice for gamers and power users, but has some drawbacks in terms of battery life and price. Pros Performance: BOSS of a CPU! Excellent performance for gaming and demanding tasks. Handles modern games and intensive applications smoothly. Portability- The reason why I bought it. Weighing in at just over 3.5 pounds, the G14 is highly portable, making it easy to carry around for work or gaming on the go. Display- Breaks the bank! The 14-inch OLED display is sharp and vibrant, with good color accuracy and 120 Hz refresh rates that enhance the gaming experience. Build Quality- Built solidly! The laptop has a solid build quality with a sleek, modern design. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the touchpad is responsive. Cooling System could be better. But hey, its a laptop! The cooling system is effective at managing heat during intensive tasks, preventing throttling and maintaining performance. Cons Battery Life - okayish. While the G14 is portable, its battery life is somewhat disappointing, especially during gaming sessions or heavy use. But some users say you can get upto 10 hours if you optimize it properly. Price The G14 2024 model is on the pricier side, which might be a barrier for some buyers unless its on sale on BestBuy. Port Selection-No ethernet port with a somewhat bad(?) wifi card. The selection of ports is somewhat limited, which may require carrying additional adapters for some users. Conclusion The ASUS G14 2024 model with RTX 4060 and 16GB RAM is a strong contender in the gaming laptop market. It offers great performance and portability, making it a solid choice for gamers and power users who need a capable machine on the go. However, the high price and limited battery life might be a drawback for some.
