MagyarAsus ROG Zephyrus G14 Review - Compact Gaming Laptop with AMD Zen4 Phoenix & RTX 4090
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is a very powerful 14-inch laptop for gamers as well as content creators. Last year we tested it with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS and Radeon RX 6800S, this year, the new G14 is the first device with a new AMD Zen4 Phoenix processor, the Ryzen 9 7940HS. This time though, the new Ryzen 9 is combined with Nvidia’s latest laptop GPUs.
Our review unit with the designation ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402XY is the high-end model with the previously mentioned AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, 32 GB RAM, a 1 TB PCIe-4.0 SSD, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop, as well as a matte Mini-LED panel with the QHD+ resolution and 165 Hz refresh rate. This package is obviously not cheap and the RRP is listed at 3999 Euros. We included an overview about the other (less expensive) models in the Performance section. We obviously want to find our how the new AMD processor performs and how the compact 14-inch chassis handles the RTX 4090 Laptop.
We will also publish comprehensive analysis articles of the new AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS as well as the integrated GPU Radeon 780M soon.

Case - G14 with inconspicuous design
Asus did not change the chassis compared to the previous model. Last time we reviewed the white version including the AniME display on the lid, now we review the much more subtle version in grey. There are no striking design elements on this gaming laptop, either, there is just a subtle pattern on the lid. It should not be an issue to use this laptop in a professional environment without receiving too much attention.
The base unit is still made of a magnesium alloy, even though the surfaces have a slight soft-touch finish. This no criticism though, and the device feels like a quality product and even fingerprints are not a big issue. The base unit is slightly raised when you open the lid, which improves thermals as well as ergonomics. The stability is really good, the keyboard does not flex and we could not twist the base unit. We also like the adjustment of the hinges, even though they cannot prevent a minor wobbling when you adjust the opening angle (up to 180 degrees). However, this should not be an issue in practice.
The lid is made of aluminum and slightly more flexible, but we could not provoke any creaking sounds, either. The bezels are very slim, especially at the sides, which results in a decent screen-to-body ratio of 81 %.
Tipping the scale at almost 1.7 kg, the new Zephyrus G14 is right in the middle of our comparison group, despite high-end components and the metal chassis. The Alienware x14 is by far the largest device in terms of footprint, but the other devices are very similar. However, the G14 is the thickest device at 20.5 mm. There are obviously much slimmer 14-inch laptops, but they are not nearly as powerful and the G14 is still a very mobile device. This is not really the case for the large 240W power adapter (727 grams), but you can also charge the device via USB-C on the go.
Connectivity - AMD Gamer with USB 4.0
The port layout is identical to the predecessor, which means all the ports are still located at the front of the two sides. It can be rather crowded if you really use all the connectors. The rear area is completely reserved for the cooling and the fan exhausts.
The USB-C port at the left side now supports the 4.0 standard including video output and power delivery. This port is attached to the iGPU, so you can use this output to use an external screen with the integrated GPU. If you use the USB-C port at the right side or the HDMI output, the graphics output will be handled by the Nvidia GPU, which will consume more energy in daily situations. We had no issues running a Thunderbolt dock (CalDigit TS4) and a 10 Gbps Ethernet adapter via USB 4.0.
SD Card Reader
The small microSD card reader (spring mechanism) is one of the fastest modules and we measured a maximum transfer rate of more than 260 MB/s with our reference card (Angelbird AV Pro V60) and still ~130 MB/s when we copied images from the card.

Communication
Asus uses a modern Wi-Fi module from RealTek (MT9722), which supports the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard as well as Bluetooth 5.2. However, we could not connect the test model with the corresponding 6 GHz network from our reference router (Asus), but the transfer rates in the 5 GHz network (Wi-Fi 6) are also very good and stable. We did not notice any connectivity issues during our review period.
Webcam
Asus upgraded the camera and now uses a 1080p module including IR camera for facial recognition in combination with Windows Hello. The webcam is better compared to the previous model and the overall quality is okay, but we have already seen better modules this year. We included a sample video in our video review, so you can bet a better impression of the quality.
Maintenance
The bottom panel is once again secured by 11 small Philips screws, but some of them are hidden underneath small rubberized covers. Once inside you will see the large vapor chamber with the two fans as well as the battery. You can replace the SSD and there is one SO-DIMM slot in addition to 16 GB RAM onboard. This means you can use up to 48 GB RAM with a 32 GB module.
Input Devices - ROG 14 with Aura-Sync
The keyboard offers 1.7 mm travel and provides a very firm and precise feedback, so it is no problem to type longer texts on the G14. The keyboard illumination can be customized via software with multiple colors, but only in one zone. It is also possible to synchronize the illumination with other devices via Aura Sync.
The glass touchpad (12.8 x 7.6 cm) offers good gliding capabilities and standard cursor movements as well as gestures with up to four fingers are no problem. The lower half of the pad can be pushed down, which results in firm feedback and clicking sound, even though it could be a bit quieter.
Display - Mini-LED with 165 Hz
Asus ships the Zen4 models with 14-inch IPS or Mini-LED panels with the QHD+ resolution (2560 x 1600 pixels, 16:10). The spec sheet also lists a 1080p IPS panel, but we could not find any corresponding SKUs yet. All models with the RTX 4070 Laptop or better are shipped with the 165 Hz Mini-LED panel. The subjective picture impression is excellent, contents are razor-sharp and not grainy, colors are rich and movements are very smooth thanks to the high refresh rate.
The manufacturer advertises a brightness of 500 nits (600 nits peak for HDR), but our measurements show a higher average brightness of ~560 nits. In combination with the low black value (0), the contrast ratio is extremely high similar to OLED panels. This contrast ratio also has a big effect on the subjective picture quality. Mini-LED panels do not have problems with backlight bleeding, but there can be clouding (halos) due to the different dimming zones when bright objects move around on a dark background. This issue can be provoked, but it is usually not visible in everyday situations. Asus also uses the so-called Nebula HDR engine, which is supposed to reduce clouding.

* ... smaller is better
The Armoury Crate software offers different color profiles and the Native profile is activated by default. This is a good choice for regular usage scenarios with slightly oversaturated colors, so the picture appears a bit more colorful. We also analyzed the profile Display P3 with the professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro 2), which offers very accurate colors compared to the P3 reference and it is an ideal choice when you want to edit pictures or videos. There is also an sRGB profile. We were not able to improve the picture quality even further with our own calibration, so we do not offer a profile at this point.
When you edit pictures, you will also be happy about the software setting to change from the multi-zone illumination to a single-zone illumination, which means the whole picture is evenly illuminated. However, this has a big impact on the black value and the contrast ratio, so we recommend the multi-zone mode for all other scenarios.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 5430 Hz |  | |
The display backlight flickers at 5430 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) . The frequency of 5430 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19046 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured. | |||
The individual dimming zones of Mini-LED panels are turned on and off at a frequency of 5 kHz, which corresponds with typical PWM. We can measure this flickering at all brightness levels, but there should not be any issues due to the high frequency. The response times are a bigger challenge, because the conventional method (which is used by us and the rest of the industry for LED and OLED screens) does not work properly. We included our measurements, but they are not really representative and the manufacturer advertises 3 ms.
Note: According to our information, most manufacturers are not able to determine the response times of Mini-LED panels properly. Instead, they measure the response times by replacing the Mini-LED backlight with a conventional backlight, because the response times depend on the panel itself and not the backlight. We will try to copy this process in the future and show the results, but we can obviously not do this for every review unit. It is also possible to check whether we have already tested the panel itself with a conventional backlight, but this is not the case for this particular QHD+ panel from AU Optronics.
The high brightness in combination with the matte surface works very well in bright environments and we did not have an issue to see the display content even on a sunny day. The viewing angle stability is also excellent.
Performance - Zen4 Phoenix & RTX 4090 Laptop
Our review unit is the high-end SKU of the ROG Zephyrus G14 with the Ryzen 9 7940HS (Zen4, 4nm, Phoenix) as well as the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop. You can also combine the new Zen4 chip with the smaller RTX GPUs down to the RTX 4060 Laptop, and the price difference is around 500 Euros for each downgrade. There is also an entry-level model with the Ryzen 7 7735HS (Zen3+, Rembrandt-R) and the RTX 4050 Laptop for 2099 Euros. We have listed the different SKU options in the table below. All versions of the ROG Zephyrus G14 are shipped with 16 GB RAM onboard with one additional SO-DIMM slot for up to 48 GB.
| SKU | CPU | GPU | RAM | SSD | Display (QHD+) | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GA402NU-N2010W | Ryzen 7 7735HS (Zen3+) | RTX 4050 Laptop | 16 GB | 1 TB | IPS/165 Hz/3ms | 2099 Euros |

Review Settings
The preloaded Armoury Crate software offers different power profiles and also a manual mode, where you can adjust the TDP values for the CPU in a range between 15-80 Watts. We have listed the power profiles with the corresponding TDP/TGP values in the following table:
| Power profile | CPU | GPU | Stress test | Fan noise Witcher 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silent | 45/65 Watts | 85 Watts | CPU: 25 Watts GPU: 80 Watts |
39.9 dB(A) |
| Performance | 45/65 Watts | 80 + 20 Watts | CPU: 30 Watts GPU: 80 Watts |
46.2 dB(A) |
| Turbo | 80/80 Watts | 100 + 25 Watts | CPU: 35 Watts GPU: 100 Watts |
52.5 dB(A) |
We used the Turbo mode for the following benchmarks and measurements to get the maximum GPU performance, but you can just use the Silent mode for daily tasks and just switch the power profiles very comfortably via key combination Fn+F5. We will also check the impact of the other power profiles in the fan noise section. The Turbo mode is not available on battery power.
You should get accustomed to the Armoury Crate software since it offers plenty of functions including the GPU mode (you can also deactivate the Nvidia GPU). We used the standard GPU mode in combination with Advanced Optimus for our review.
Processor - Ryzen 9 7940HS
Finally, there it is: The first AMD Ryzen 7000 mobile processor with 4 nm Zen4 cores with the code name Phoenix. Our review unit is equipped with the top model of the 45W HS range, the Ryzen 9 7940HS. Contrary to Intel, AMD does not use a hybrid architecture and just uses 8 full-fledged Zen4 cores with hyper threading support, so the CPU can execute up to 16 threads simultaneously. The processor consumes 80W in Turbo mode and can maintain this performance level.
AMD managed to improve the single-core performance by around 15 % compared to the old Ryzen 9 6900HS, but the AMD processor is still a bit slower than the current Intel chips as well as the high-end Ryzen 9 7945HX.
Cinebench R15 Multi Loop
We can see an advantage of 44 % compared to the previous G14 in multi-core tests and the new Ryzen 9 7940HS is only beaten by the HX CPUs as well as the fast Core i9-13900H in the ROG Zephyrus M16, but the Intel chip also consumes much more than 100 Watts.
All in all, the new Zen4 chip is very competitive and we will publish a much more detailed CPU analysis including performance and efficiency benchmarks shortly. We suspect the efficiency will be even better at lower TDP values.
The power consumption for the CPU is limited to 32 Watts on battery power, which results in a performance deficit of about 30 %. More CPU benchmarks are available here.

System Performance
The system performance is excellent and all inputs are executed without delays. The synthetic benchmark results are also good, but we cannot offer any results for AIDA right now, since the app repeatedly caused a crash. We are already in contact with the manufacturer to find a solution. Except for that, however, we did not notice any problems during our review period.

Storage Devices
The 2023 ROG G14 once again offers one M.2-2280 slot, which is attached via PCIe-4.0 interface. Our review unit is equipped with the 1 TB version of the Samsung PM9A1 (OEM version of the 980 Pro) and the overall performance is very good. The performance is also very stable under sustained load, which is not a matter of course for modern laptops. Out of the box, you can 865 GB for your own files and apps. More SSD benchmarks are listed here.
