83.5% Asus Zephyrus G14 GA401QM Laptop Review: AMD Still Rules The 14-inch Gaming Space | Notebookcheck
The Zephyrus G14 was the only game in town when it launched early last year, but times have changed. Some aspects of the system still hold up well while others are already starting to age when compared to the new 14-inch Razer Blade 14.
ASUS G14 Laptop with a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU Revisited - The Right Balance!

Thanks to Best Buy I'm revisiting the ASUS G14 Laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU after 8 months. It's still one of the best 14" laptops you can buy. Hopefully this review/revisit helps you decide on whether the ASUS G14 is the perfect fit for you this holiday season. Let me know if you have any questions below!

75% Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2021) Review: Cut By The Blade
Source: The Verge English
Unfortunately, while this laptop hasn’t changed that much, its competition has. The G14 is no longer the most powerful 14-inch gaming laptop you can buy — and while its battery life in particular may still make it a great buy for some users, it’s no longer the obvious choice for everyone. The Blade 14 offers significantly more powerful chips in a chassis that’s thinner and almost as light. And while the Blade 14 is more expensive, there are also a number of ways to get an RTX 3070 for a lower price than the G14 is asking here. If you’re willing to go for something slightly bigger and miss out on the fancy lights, the Zephyrus G15 will give this exact chassis design (with the same exceptional keyboard, touchpad, audio, and battery life) with much better gaming results for less money. If you still want fancy lights, you can also get a 5900HX and an RTX 3070 (along with a 144Hz display) in the RGB-packed ROG Strix G15 at a lower price than my test unit. Again, the G14 is still excellent. But there’s more excellent stuff in this category now than there was last year.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2021 Review: A Portable Triumph
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
Summing up this review, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2021 is still a decent 14” gaming laptop—despite its hot flaws. From its compact form-factor, a comfortable keyboard, color-accurate display, and impressive battery endurance, there’s a lot of reason to pick this portable gaming and content creation workstation. The heating issue, as I mentioned earlier, is an inherent drawback of the 14” chassis but you can always dial down the settings for relatively cooler gaming performance. So, if you’re looking for a powerful 14″ gaming laptop, the Zephyrus G14 presents itself as a decent option to consider—although there’s a scarce number of alternatives, to begin with.

I’ve compared the new ASUS Zephyrus G14 against last year’s model and other gaming laptops to see what sort of improvements are on offer. I’ve also tested it in 13 games at both 1440p and 1080p resolutions, and tested with an external screen to boost performance.

R9 5900HS: Mobile Octa-Core APU using Zen 3 cores clocked at 3 to 4.6 GHz and a Vega graphics card with 8 CUs clocked at up to 2100 MHz. Compared to the 5900HX (up to 54 W), the 5900HS is configured to a TDP of 35W and therefore suited for smaller laptops.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


14.00":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
