88.5% RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU almost as fast as RTX 5080 laptop GPU - Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2025 review | Notebookcheck
Asus offers the fastest 14-inch gamer on the market with the ROG Zephyrus G14 2025. We test the variant with the RTX 5070 Ti and 12 GB VRAM, which performs excellently in the gaming tests.
80% I was surprised by just how well this thin and lightweight gaming laptop, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025), performed – but you'll have to endure its sizzling temperatures
Source: Techradar English
Unlike many gaming laptops, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) is a truly portable device, thanks to its compact dimensions and lightweight construction. More remarkable is the fact that performance hasn’t been sacrificed. What has been, though, is cooling, since despite the loud fans, the body still gets incredibly hot in places. More elite rivals handle their power better without asking for much more money, while some cheaper alternatives aren’t that far behind in terms of performance. But if portability is a priority and you can stand the heat, the Zephyrus G14 (2025) is a fine choice.

ASUS knows it struck gold, and didn't mess too much with the winning formula of the ROG Zephyrus G14 for 2025. Much of the hardware is identical, but this laptop is now smarter and more powerful... and thicker, heavier, and more expensive.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review: the best gaming laptop of 2025?
Source: T3 English
If you want a slim gaming laptop that has a lot of tricks up its sleeve and can work well for productivity when needed, the ROG Zephyrus G14's 2025 revision remains a superb (yet pricey) option. It's slim and gorgeous, but when you plug it in, it has the power to really push through even modern releases. I don't think there's a better gaming laptop right now – and I've tested a bunch of 2025 models.

Source: Ultrabook Review English
There's hardly any other device as capable as this one in this sort of form factor today. The 2025 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is notably faster than the previous Zephyrus G14 iterations from 2024, due to the updated AMD Ryzen AI 9 and Nvidia RTX 5000 hardware, alongside the updated cooling module. Add in a premium chassis, excellent inputs, a beautiful OLED display and punchy speakers, and you're getting to a device that must be on your list if shopping for something of this kind. It does run warm and hot, though, and it costs a pretty penny, to say the least.

80% Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025) Review: Power-Packed Performance in Compact Size
Source: NDTV Gadgets English
The 2025 iteration of the Zephyrus G14 does bring some interesting and useful upgrades to the table. The device is future-proof with the kind of specifications it offers. And it is not just your usual gaming laptop but a hybrid one. You can live a dual life—office work during the day and gaming at night—without much hassle with this laptop. The minimalistic design does not scream gamer vibes, which most gaming laptops do. The display is sharp and one of the best from the brand. The gaming performance is up to par, and you can play most of the AAA titles on this machine. However, it sure comes with some limitations, with the compact size and heat management being one of those. Moreover, the battery is not that great, but it's doable most of the time.

90% Two of the best 14-inch gaming laptops have a massive price difference — is there a good reason?
Source: Windows Central English Archive.org version
Your final decision between the ROG Zephyrus G14 and the Blade 14 will likely come down to pricing. Razer's laptops are never affordable, and the ROG Zephyrus G14 really highlights the difference. Considering you can buy the ROG Zephyrus G14 with a more powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU and RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU for less than a Blade 14 with an RTX 5070 (non-Ti), you'll have to decide if the Blade 14's strengths are really worth the extra money. Yes, Razer's hardware continues to represent the pinnacle of premium gaming laptop design, but ASUS has made great progress in recent years. The 2025 Zephyrus G14 might not be quite as impressive from an aesthetic standpoint, but it beats the Blade 14 where it matters most: performance and pricing. If you're interested in how the older models compare, check out my Zephyrus G14 (2024) vs. Razer Blade 14 (2024) analysis. Hint: I come to the same general conclusion as with the newer models.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.


These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop: A fast graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops that is based on the GB203 chip and uses 8,192 shaders and 16 GB GDDR7 graphics memory (256-bit graphics bus).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop: An upcoming graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops, which Team Green will most likely present at CES 2025. We assume that it will be based on GB205 chip, with 5,888 active unified shaders (CUDA cores).

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop: Mobile mid-range graphics card from the Blackwell family based on the GB206 chip with 3328 shaders and 8 GB GDDR7 graphics memory (128 bit).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


AMD Strix Halo/Point (Zen 5/5c, Ryzen AI 300):

Ryzen AI 9 HX 370: A powerful Strix Point family processor that debuted in June 2024. The Ryzen AI 9 series APU comes with 12 CPU cores, the 16 CU RDNA 3+ Radeon 890M graphics adapter and the 50 TOPS XDNA 2 neural engine. There is still no PCIe 5 support here and 8 of the CPU cores are slower than the other 4.

AMD Hawk Point (Zen 4/4c):

R9 270: A powerful Hawk Point family APU. This isn't an entirely new laptop processor; instead, this is a rebadged R9 8945HS. The 270 features 8 SMT-enabled Zen 4 cores running at 4.0 GHz to 5.2 GHz for a total of 16 processing threads.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
