NEW ROG Zephyrus G14 + G16 - SUPER Thin OLED Gaming Laptops! [2024] 

Hey Chaps! Would you get the 14 or the 16??

ASUS has done it. It looks like a Razer laptop, and will 100% be a more cost effective option than Razer. I love my 2021 model, and this is REALLY terrific progress they’ve made from them till now.

I just got a 2024 G14 with the Ryzen 9 and the 4060 about a week ago, from Best Buy, for $1600. It’s played everything I’ve thrown at it flawlessly. It has a great RGB keyboard, excellent sound (good bass for laptop speakers) and the webcam look good (it should. It’s 1080p). So far it has exceeded my expectations in performance and also appearance. It’s a solid metal construction chassis (not plastic like so many others) and the white RGB lit keys against the silver chassis looks elegant. The OLED screen and available brightness level is amazing. Definitely happy with my purchase.

A gaming laptop that actually looks good? That is a more than welcome change

Where are the "exhausts" of the fan located? Also the laptop is now flat when opened, while previous models lifted up a little bit to improve air flow. Don't know whether I like this design choice, but otherwise really cool design upgrade

Really hoping you’d do a comparison with the current G14 and the Legion Slim 5 14in

Asus wasn't even on my radar until the 2022 G14 went on sale for $999 (6700S) a while ago, and never realized how much of a cult following it had/has. Fast forward a couple of years, and virtually all feedback was considered from customers and implemented. I ALMOST pulled the trigger on the Legion Slim 5 14" as an upgrade but boy am I glad I waited it out. This thing is gorgeous. And the only problem I have now is we have to wait.

😮 wow 👌 ASUS SMASHED it with this one! 👏

Does it have battery management like the macbook Pro? When always plugged in.?

Compare to Legion 5slim 14, which one is better actually?

Really cool to finally have a gaming laptop that looks professional. I love my MacBook Pro 2022 for its impressive battery life and performance consistency without the battery plugged in. I will continue using it, but I am definitely thinking of replacing my gaming PC desktop with this laptop. Especially considering that a big trip across Asia awaits me at the end of the year and I'm travelling relatively often.

I would love the larger model. Brilliant!

its a great review, but would be better if you an provide more gaming benchmark or footage of the gameplay for a gaming laptop, thanks

Gotta respect them stepping their game up this year...

I know it's a minor detail but I think the LED line on the back shoud be going up, not down, indicating something rising, going up, growing. Still woudi happily upgrade my M16 to that jist for the new soeakers and lighter chassis.

Man, looks soo sleek, thin and yet powerful

I wanna get the G14 but still don't know if it's a good choice as I like to play some AAA games. Will wait for reviews and some pro tips if you're willing to give some 😅 but the laptop looks amazing!

I am very tempted with the full aluminum chasis, the only issue is power adapter not being usb c and potentially OLED screen - not sure if I want something that might burn after 3-5 years and big question - why is there no vapor cooling chamber????

looks good, can't wait for the performance review. really curious about battery life and thermal for 4090 in such slim chassis.

How is the fan noise under gaming and stress is it good to buy

Any price ?

Hello, where can I find the wallpaper on the notebook? Can you please send me a link?

ooh nice that all models get the light up slash 👀

You've raised the bar for content creators.

Ill wait for it to go on sale next year especially since the model is going to be the same a tiny bit more powerful.

Which one of g14 or g16 I should buy for graphics and motion design work?

I am definitely after screen quality and will accept a compromise on the TGP. I need to get it through peoples heads that you’re staring at this screen ALL day long. You want it to look good not fuzzy.

When will this be out in the uk

Using 2021 G14 and still works fine, hoping to switch to this soon

Any idea on the window of when u will have full reviews i am pretty interested to see the new Ryzen and the New Ultra intell chip deal with effeciency battery life ! And lovely reviews as always Tom--!

can you do a test g16 with rtx 4080/4090 with the macbook pro m3 max please?

i had 2022 version, amazin laptop. Now i can see next gens each year getting better and better, own a macbook now, but def wanna test one of these. But i believe thermals are still the issue in zephyrus series, if u arent doing office tasks, that machines become hot af

I regret getting a MacBook now, def like the aluminum chassis and looks like the keyboard rgb actually lights up good compared to the 22-23 white models

Hi Tom. Is it touch capable and support asus pen?

Really like this laptops, but can you still charge them with usb.c?

Great Video Tom, ROG have really stepped up this year. This laptop is the perfect balance between a MacBook Pro for Creators & a chunky dedicated gaming laptop for hardcore gamers.

Is the speakers better than macbook pro 16 Please let me know as I'm looking to buy a laptop with good speakers which is not apple Thanks

ah i really would. I like how its thinner and the charging port has been moved. But i just got my g14 in Nov when i replaced my z13. Maybe ill get the 2025 model

whats better because of cost for gpu? rtx 4070 with 90 watt tdp or the rtx 4080 with 115 watt tdp?

When it comes to reviewing OLED laptop displays, reviewers must besides burn-in also emphasize on pwm flickering, given latter is a huge downside for such displays, especially when employed in laptops where brightness is often set around or below 50% to extend battery life when unplugged.

.. and how do you get it in the uk ?

Hey bro is it good for productivity ?

they really did the design very well. It looks awesome and premium

I love this but I'm waiting for the black one to come out, the problem with white keyboards is they are hard to see during the day. I have this problem on my current XPS.

Shame they didn't keep the mini LED display of the M16 from last year. It's very very bright, and I'm a big fan of matt screens.

When it coming out and price?

Still have my 1st gen G14; time to upgrade!!

My 2022 G14 is a workhorse and I’m excited to get the 2024 version

I have the ASUS ROG S15 with a 2070 Super and i7 10750H. I'm really considering getting this G14 with the 4070. Do you think its worth the upgrade?

How do i get the most battery out of it, i dont know how

Are you coming back to do performance review?

Where to find the link to the bigger g16

Price for the G16 version?

That g14 is a beauty that you could take to uni without having a bulky piece of metal looking like Christmas Eve. I love this laptop.

does it have 2 ssd slots or just 1 similar to previous models? specifically for G14

My 2022 still going strong 💪🏽

The G16 is the ultimate gaming laptop at the moment, it supports Dolby vision gaming and a peak brightness of 850 nits(HDR), for a laptop it is a unique achievement, I also expect them to be relatively visible outdoors even in sunny/cloudy areas, the G14 with the performance that an rtx 4070 offers I must say that with the frame generation(DLSS 3.5) it will be able to saturate the 2.8K panel at 120Hz while the G16 will offer more power for those who also need to work with video editing and 3D graphics, as soon as the SCAR 16 arrives and 18 can you compare them with these?

according to you which is a best all rounder laptop?

Can’t tell , but does the web cam not have a privacy shutter?

Thank You Thom.

Being AMD will this support thunderbolt 4 and charging by USB c?

Wish this tiny laptop wasn’t soe expensive

The new Zephyrus 2024, looks pretty. Maybe much like the MacBook design 😅😅

Expected price?

Did the M16 and G16 from last year merged?

I like the book included

Razer has finally been dethroned. Their Apple mentality was their own downfall. Let’s go Zephyrus!

G16 is looking mighty fine.

So if not the PWM flickering it would be amazing

Every RU-vid video I’ve seen about these they always say they’re going to put pricing in the description but never do, I just want to know how much they’re going to cost 😡😂

ROGシリーズでついにOLED搭載されてとても嬉しいです! ゲームじゃなくてビジネス用に使いたいですね。

how the price?

This G14 refresh reminds me of Tesla's Highland Model 3 refresh! :D

Why is it cheaper in the states than the UK ? around £500 give or take ?

could g14 be charged with type-c?

For me just them being metal is so good!

I'm looking into converting a van and living in it full time. My current desktop is just not space efficient, and even if it was, the vibration caused by driving would not be good for the hardware. This is a very, VERY tempting solution to that problem. However, I would be sacrificing some performance as the laptop version of the 4090 is not really a 4090, it's like a 4080 in disguise, and my current desktop does have a 4090 in it. That being said, I'm very interested.

Asus seriously outdid itself. Man I cannot even BRING myself to replace my G14 with another brand. I feel like getting a G14 refresher.

Good I was holding my urge to get 2023 with 4080. I have 2022 G14 with 6800s. 😊

Can it be charged via USBC?

Might have to trade in my MacBook Pro.

I have a zenbook pro 14 that's thicker with large vents on the back and sides. It gets loud at 90w tgp. I am very skeptical the same power on a chassis with no visible exhausts can cool itself without sounding like a jet engine.

When is the Release?

Pricing wasn’t dropped in description

When is the full review?

I have a question, can we charge the 2024 g14 with type c?

I love OLED and use an OLED monitor for my desktop I think I very much rather prefer LCD for my laptops. I love the Mini LED on the MacBook Pro 14 I just got. LCD and more specifically Mini LED is brighter which is important for Laptops.

Thank you so much for your reviews; they're the best!! One question: does the g14 2024 have vapour chamber cooling? Many thanks

Wow that design

I actually am in favor of this redesign, I am at the point in life where I want a nice premium mac-like laptop with good battery life to do gaming and programming on. However, the one thing I am not a fan of is the soldered ram. Inexcusable on the 16 inch, plenty of room. At least they could have offered higher RAM models.

cooling??

Will This Play Cod With Mods? , And Newer Games Well? And Will this Laptop be able to use my Elgato Streaming Stuff? For My RU-vid?

Im in love. if i can pick up the 14 for less than 2000€ with a 4060 (last years models go from around 2500€ and 2000€ on sale....) im finally splurging on a gaming laptop after 10 years of using the same macbook pro. I just cant get past the aluminium chasis, screen and touchpad of the macbook pro from 2013, but FINALLY a gaming laptop manufacturer has realised the importance in having solid feel and build quality. I was literally about to pick up the legion 5 slim 14 inch in a few days, which seemed like a solid choice, but now im going to wait to check prices for this one. With 3K OLED, 120hz, 16:10, freesync, amd chip, RGB keyboard for presumably good brightness options and not some weird 3 colour zone monstrosity from 2015, good ports, portability, aluminium unibody chasis, not a Razer designed mess for 3500€, this is going to fly off the shelves. Thank god manufacturers are finally listening to what people have been wanting out of gaming laptops for years.

i want a gaming oled tablet so much, z13, but oled and curved ages and no nonsense gamery look, like here, 120hz 2560x1600 oled 10 bit is all we need in a tablet.

I just got a new job, the zephyrus was my dream laptop this is such a perfect

You still haven’t done a video on the battery life yet.

Can you please ask Asus why they decide to go with a 3k resolution on the 14inch and 2.5k on the bigger 16 inch model? That makes very little sense. Asus did such an amazing job with redesigning these laptops. That one decision, I cannot quite wrap my head around it.

Why didn't they bring a new Flow x16

Now I don’t know if take the 2023 model on sale or wait for this one… 😅

Did I miss the part about when they will launch or…?
