Asus ROG Zephyrus G14: The fastest 14-inch gamer but no 5090 is a missed opportunity

If Asus is already going to the trouble of creating a second case variant with improved cooling for faster GPUs, this raises the question of why a variant with the RTX 5090 Laptop is not on offer. With a maximum TGP of 95 watts + 25 watts Dynamic Boost, the RTX 5090 Laptop could have easily been installed without issue. In addition to the slightly higher performance, content creators in particular would have benefited from the additional VRAM. If Razer launches a more powerful version of the Blade 14, it may well overtake Asus here and there would certainly be buyers, even if the price is likely to be very steep.

Until then, the new ROG Zephyrus G14 remains at the top of the performance league, although the old G14 with the RTX 4090 laptop still performs excellently. Apart from the more powerful GPUs, the updates to the current G14 are minor, as nothing has changed in terms of connectivity, the OLED display or the input devices. The battery life is slightly better and the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 offers slightly more CPU performance and, thanks to the fast NPU, it is a Copilot+ laptop (if that is important to you). As it stands, it is one of the best all-rounders on the market.
