Thanks for watching! Hope you subscribe if you haven’t already for more new laptop videos on the way 🙂 I will update this pinned comment with any news/updates/things missed about these laptops as I see them!

My g16 4090 is my favorite laptop I've ever owned, huge fan of the older g15, and the scars, had them all, but this G16 has ticked every box. Trackpad, speakers, screen, battery life (holy shit), gaming performance, portability, I mean damn. This is it. 🎉

You helped me finally settle on getting a G14 for college. Thanks for the amazing review!

Perfect timing. Want to pull for either(except for the 2024 g14) this week

You’re good at reviewing. I came here from a Reddit post of your video comparing laptop displays. Great work. Do more, bro!

Couldn't agree more on the RAM options! At this price point, they should come with 32GB, or at least unconventional 24GB. (Damn that laptop speaker music is such a bop!)

Hi Josh, I really love your reviews. Is it possible for you to compare the G14s (23 and 24) against a macbook air/pro? I know macbook's battery is unmatched but I'm really interested in knowing how close can the G14 get to a macbook experience once it's been thoroughly optimized through the G-helper. p.s absolutely love the gifs you throw in your reviews

Very well done! I bought the 4070 g14 about a month ago, and have been really happy with it.

Hell yeah man another video from you is another great day! I can't wait to see more reviews and videos! Also I know you probably think it's lame but if you could review the Asus Scar Strix 2024 I would appreciate it I really wanna buy it but you're the only reviewer I really trust with my purchases

G14 4080 2023 with Mini LED is the unicorn but unfortunately just as rare

I would recommend that anyone looking to buy one go to a store and get some hands on time. I was convinced I'd want one (Zeph G16) from all the reviews, however, I found the build quality, the touch and feel of the device very 'consumer grade', if I can put it that way. Coming from a Dell Precision 7740 and a Surface 5 Pro, I found it very cheap feeling compared to those, let alone a Macbook. Not saying its a technically bad device, but it doesn't feel as premium as it looks in the review videos. Maybe that's not important to you at that price point, but for some it is, so do yourself a favour and go have a look in person 🙂

Man, I started watching laptop reviews when I had to buy a laptop in February. I bought a g14 2023 4060 then (for a grand on bestbuy). But didn’t stop watching reviews since then for some reason :) Just Josh, canucks, dave2d, Jarrod (sometimes) and you. Gradually I got bored with this topic, but man, I was waiting for your g14 2024 review so bad. There is something both entertaining and inspiring in the videos you do, keep it up, bro. Wish you will start doing it fulltime. P.S. I plan to upgrade to either g14 2024 4070 or the new px13 (hope to see your take on it).

Nice video Would you mind review HP omen transcend 14 🙏🏼

I ultimately bought a G14 due to this review. Answered every question I had and then some! Thanks!!

I watched your G16 video and it helped me pull the trigger on an open box 2024 G14 1TB yesterday. However, I'm coming from a MBP from 2012 and have gotten really used to the Macbook feel. I travel a lot and would game occasionally on it since I have a 3080 desktop at home. Do you have any experience running games on the newer MBP via Crossover, Whiskey, etc? Your reviews are so well done! I can see your channel growing to 100k+ subscribers in no time!

Any idea when will be the g14 rtx 4050 version be available ?

What are your thoughts on the upcoming AMD variant of the G16 that’s dropping soon? What use case could you see that being a good choice over the G14 or G16 Intel variant?

It’s so beautiful. The g16. Hope next year they do miniled but not sure if they r on the oled wagon already

Hi Great review. But I'm sensitive to screen flicker. I've heard the OLED has PWM under 60%. But uses DC dimming above 60%. I'm unfamiliar with that technology, could you plesase explain, it would be a big help. Thank you

Amazing video as always thanks again!

I have the 2023 G14 with the 4070. I found that enabling dGPU only mode through nvidia control panel gave me way more power (sustained) to the gpu, while lowering cpu a tad. I got 13,000 on time spy for graphics and 11,402 for cpu

I bought the Lenovo Legion 5 Slim OLED because it was half the price in my location as the G14 with a 4060. Next year, I’ll definitely get a G16 with a 5090 (whenever it’s released in these laptops), but now I’m extremely satisfied with the Legion.

Hi Josh, great video I’ve been watching your videos ever since I wanted a gaming laptop and they have been super helpful. I recently got a g14 2024 and have noticed the screen is grainy like on gray backgrounds, icons appear fuzzy and blurry. For example if I have an app minimized the corners expand and it’s like a gray border around them. Is that normal for the oled screens? Are you experiencing the same things.

Been waiting for this, I'm about to buy one G14 2024 4060 but worry so much about thermal and OLED burn in. Any suggestion?

Love your video man, Its great. I am stuck between G16 and the strix scar 16 2024 model in terms of display, The new scar has over 2000 dimming zones. Is there a visible image quality difference between an oled and a mini led ? What do you recommend overall bro, I really need to make a decision. Thanks.

Hey Josh honest question: with the discount right now on best buy, would you go with the G14 4060 16gb or G14 4070 32gb? Without the consideration of open box discounts which one would you get and why? For context, I mainly would use it for Valorant and normal everyday use. Also, would the G14 be sufficient to use as my PC at home if I were to connect it to my monitor and keyboard?

I have the G16 and the screen wobble is totally fine, some reviewers defo showed a bad wobble but i have none. Great review mate

13:01 😂😂😂😂😂the track😂😂

Hey man, there's and autible difference from the sound quality from the g14 to g16. On the website it shows both the G14 and G16 have 6 speakers... is the eq just difference or can you hear a noticeable technicality + low end extension increase on sound from the g14 to g16?

did they fix the 3rd fan then? i bought a g14 4070 model and that 3rd fans slightly higher frequency tone made me return it. thats how i ended up with the 4080 g14 2023 model as it was the same price at the time (i now swapped that for a 4090 model muwaha) but yeah that 3rd fan for me would continue to spin for 10 minutes after the other 2 main fans had turned off

Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 seem to be absolute home runs, I can't remember the last time I saw so much positivity across the board surround windows laptops.

Amazing videos man! Hey question here - i'm using g16 2024 with 4090 with Ghelper: Can I use my laptop connected to a 32" monitor whilst it being closed without damaging the screen long term?

This is, for me, the new gold standard for laptop reviews. Brilliant video

A great comparison! What about quality control issues? Some reviewers pointed out wobbly touchpad with unsatisfying clicks on G16. In these thin high-performance laptops, I would also like to see the battery temperature under load, which decreases the longevity of the battery, and the SSD temperature under load, which may cause throttling.

Best review btw keep it up thank you

wait.... quick question? on the 2024 g16 are you not able to disable turbo mode to lower the temps?

Some other issues with this 14' gaming model: 1. No on talks about the lack of a 2nd SSD slot (who wants to be dependent on external storage all the time and hassle with plugging\unplugging and carry an external storage solution everywhere just to be able to add more storage to a gaming laptop instead of it being internal). For gaming laptops this is a big deal as gaming libraries like Steam keep growing all the time, sometimes 20-100GB per game update. If you have many games, anything less than a 4TB/8TB dedicated SSD (minimum for gaming) is out of the question, sure, you can buy one SSD with those capacities but that's very limiting if you start adding many games. Over time, on gaming laptops games pile up and you run out of space. 2. The lack of a 4080/4090 option is an issue (mainly because of the lack of the 12/16GB memory they offer, but performance also for those who prefer): Although the 4070 capped to 100W, it only comes with a 8GB GDDR6 which isn't enough, in 2024 8GB GPU memory is certainly not enough, all the more so if you're playing 2024 AAA games. What about future gaming?? it will not last that long for most gamers, even shorter for heavy AAA gamers. So both in short and long term 4070 with only 8GB isn't enough, as gaming become more demanding, both in terms of storage space and the amount of memory needed. If you're not a heavy gamer then 4050/4060 will be enough, but that's an entry level gaming laptop. 3. As others have mentioned before, the lack of RAM upgradability. Sure, you can do with a 32GB option, but having a 64GB option would be better. Also, in case there's an issue with the memory, you'll be forced to replace the motherboard since it's soldered, and you better hope this happens while the laptop is under warranty, otherwise... you better have deep pockets or your wallet will be screaming in pain.

I have the 2024 i9 4090 g16 and i keep having the light for the strip light keeps crashing and disappearing from armory crate when i try to use the sonic effect to work with audio anyone have this issue i dont see the sonic option in ghelp

Love your videos man

That laptop speakers test song had me cracking up

Hi josh! Awesome review like always So i went ahead and bought this variant with IPS ROG nebula display instead of OLED ROG nebula display(GU605MI QP253WS, its 32gb+1tb 8gb4070 ultra 9) and I really was not able to tell any difference between the one i took and the oled version kept on display at the store Can you tell me why is it so

Still struggling to decide between g16 or g14 2024 4070 both with 32gb ram, dont know which is better, help would be appreciated

13:03 bro, amazing song for testing the laptop loudspeaker 😮 where do I get it?

Hi Josh i just bought myself the 2024 zephyrus g14 with the 4070 gpu its currently on sale at best buy and i set everything up downloaded all the drivers and updated everything I started gaming and the speakers are at 80% and they sound really low, everyone on KZfaq is saying how good these speakers are but for me they sound really low is there anything i should do in the settings to fix this?

How will the 4060 g14 be for gaming in the next couple years? I would love 32 gb or ram but I can’t justify paying right now a $900 difference for a 4070 and 32gb or ram

Absolutely love this video excellent job !!!

That 1800p is needed for perfect scaling of 200%....Rather than fractional scaling of 150% or 175% which cause images or text to blur in some apps.So The Choice of display is good actually.

should i wait for the g16 with the new amd cpu and 4070 gpu or just get the g16 with intel cpu and 4080 gpu

Does g16 just have a much bigger battery than g14 for Intel cpu to match amd cpu battery life? I would think amd still is more efficient by watt

Je déconseille asus j’ai acheté un ordinateur et impossible de faire une mise a niveau je l ai retourné deux fois et après enquêtes il m est revenu obsolète

Will you be doing a full review of the 2024 G14 4070? I’m on the fence between that one or the 2023 G14 4080… not sure the OLED will make the difference for the lost gaming performance 🤔

I have g14 with ryzen 7735hs, nvidia 3050 It has average temperature around 80-90 c, while gaming it get high as 94-95c , no option for undervolting , not happy with the purchase

I was strongly considering the Yoga Pro 9i before, but after seeing so many reports and real-life reviews stating its battery life still leaves much to be desired with the same specs, I started to strongly consider something else. I haven't had a gaming laptop since an MSI GS with a 970 back in the day, and am still leery about OLED, but I think this laptop will really fit all of my needs: battery life for schooling, multi-tasking specs for how I use computers, and gaming specs for on-the-go gaming (and as a temporary stand-in if my desktop keels over before I can build a new one.) I do wish it was able to be optioned up to 64GB of RAM since it's soldered, it's quite odd that they aren't able to offer that when others of the same size can, and hiding 32GB behind an upgraded GPU many may not want is not the play (that's more of a Razer or Apple thing to do.)

What about the Zephyrus duo 16 2023 model ?

Waiting to see how the Strix Point G16 will be

Yay new video

Amazing video!

Given the choice between these or the new px13, it's either the 4090 G14 or the px13.

I got the 4070 g16 . I really wanted 32gb of ram but wasn’t willing to pay the up charge in the us .

Honestly i’m about to pick up the 4070 g16 it’s on sale for $1600 and it seems like an insane deal

Should I buy MacBook Air m2 256gb or Asus zephrus g14 ?

Can you change the 73 wh battery for the G14 (2024) to a 99wh battery? Does silent mode increase the battery longlife? I always play in Performance or Balance Mode because I hate Fan noise. Can you actually change the Fans for better ones or shouldn't you do it? Acutally the Asus Zephyrus G14 is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra. The Asus is a little bit louder, but the Samsung has higher temperature in the middle. Good video 😄but I wish you would show us the color gamput because for example Lenovo Laptops are bad in these cases. I recommend to use the Laptop between 20-80% battery and 60-80% birghtness. Good displays btw. have good color gambut, high refresh rate, oled and high brightness. The G14 is the price-performance king if you want to play on battery up to 1hour.

Hey man, great video, I bought a 4060 16gig g14 2024 model and I'm in love with it. I also installed G helper as per your video coz armoury create sucked. I know this sounds like an absolute headache of a request but would it be possible for you to leave your G helper profile settings in comments? I could not find any guides online (not ones that made sense to me anyway) and I really just want 2 modes. 1) for ultra battery saving where it's just light office work. 2) for plugged in maximum gaming performance. I'm asking because I've tried to fiddle with the settings more times than I can count and usually land up either not seeing any difference or I brick the damn thing.

Hey Josh, I have a question for you, I just cannot figure out what is going on. I have a 4090 G16 and whenever I use the Optimized display setting and Nvidia GPU only mode in Nvidia, I get a ton of weird input and screen lag. Especially when I am scrolling. I have noticed that setting to Optimus mode with Optimized is fine and same with just choosing Ultimate mode. Am I missing something? Do your laptops act the same? Cheers.

Hey, man! I just wondered if you had a last year’s G16?

When do you think we should expect G16 with 50xx Nvidia's?

2014 G14 4060 is on sale for 1299 at Best Buy and the g14 4070 is 1750 at Best Buy right now which would be the better buy?

For g14, would u pick ryzen or Intel ultra

Been hearing a lot of talk about the 4060 and 4070 G16 configurations having issues with a high-pitched whine from the third fan as opposed to the vapor chamber in higher configurations. Personally, I don't need a 4080/4090 nor do I have the budget. Otherwise the G16 seems like the perfect laptop! Do you think this issue is overhyped, or should those of us who dont have the money for the 4080 look elsewhere for a new laptop?

I am thinking of buying a laptop but confesed between asus rog zephyrus G16 2024 with ultra 9 and 32 gb with 4070 vs asus rog strix G16 2024 with i9-14th with 4070 and 32 gb ram. One more think do you also think that rog strix laptop doesn't have a optimised graphics card and thermals.

bro, there is an actual difference between these marketing review and yours.... BIG UPP

Is the graininess on the g16 oled display a dealbreaker?

I am following you from Iraq, from the capital, Baghdad .. I am confused between Zephyrus G14 2024 with Ryzen 9-8945HS, 4060 RTX, 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD for $1533 .. and between Zephyrus G16 2024 with Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, 4060 RTX, 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD for $2166 .. What do you think of both deals and which one do you recommend to me ? Just for the record, I don't play games I want it for programming, video editing, design, and productivity in general.

I think they didn't give any config options this time because it is last year's GPU. Hoping they have better plans for 2025. 2023 Model of G 14 was actually really good but then again because of Nvidia they didn't get the pricing right in some regions. Now will they choose AMD again for next year? Let's see. In the US the maxed out version of G 14 (2024) costs $ 2000. In my country a 16GB RTX 4060 G 14 (2024) costs $ 2100. That's just something most people will not spend on.

You forgot to add the 2022 version

Awesome review as usual Josh! I feel the G16 4090 is better than 2023 g14 in almost everything: - Thinner laptop - Bigger screen while weight increase by only 200 grams !!! - Fan noise and thermals - Better battery - Oled screen - Better chasis and design - Larger touchpad the 2023 is better for the RAM and a negligible fraction of FPS, and smaller chassis in XY dimensions naturally. I feel kinda bad I didn't wait for the 2024 G16.

why video quality is so bad in shots where all three models are present? looks kinda 480p

I have the 2024 G16 with a 4070 I love it, but I wish it had 16 gb ram. Oh well. On my g helper 15 w silent profile with the gpu off and minimum brightness I’m only getting like 6.5 hrs, so idk what I am doing wrong

Asus rog strix g16 or asus zephyrus g14 ... Which one i choose 😢

For speaker tests, it would be nice to have a control like a Macbook.

These things are sexy. I would have absolutely picked up a Zephyris G16 4090 by now if my country actually priced these the same as what you guys get in North America. Here it's approximately 5800$ 💀

I'm annoyed there are no 48/64GB (or more) options. Not only in G14/G16 but even in their so-called creator's ProArt series.

how come our g14's with 175w bios get an time spy Graphics Score 21 482 beating the 16" razer and legion pro 4090's @ 175w nah thats mad - arguably they'd sustain it better but still lol great comparison btw mate nicely done (edit - realised probably stock no overclock)

Will there ever be g18 model?

Intel tweaked the idle and light power consumption on the new chips. It can last longer than older gens at very light tasks ... But that's efficiency under only one workload and doesn't speak to efficiency as a whole. I've benchmarked both of these units extensively and Intel performance falls off a cliff below 20w. We found the AMD chips have more low power performance when on battery. This means that as you do more complex tasks than just watching a KZfaq video, you'll see the Intel needing more power to accomplish the same task. Also, the G16 has a larger battery ... So the fact that it has the same battery life as the smaller unit, even in your very light test, indicates it needs more juice, even if some of that is the larger panel (but lower res).

Is it worth the upgrade?

If you're going for 4080 i think it's better to get last year's m16. Unless you want something lighter and an OLED

I have the G14 4090 (2023) version and I think it's the best choice out of the 3.

I thought you returned the g16

I definitely like this video as far as the in depth review on the g14 and g16, but i have to say where you lost me is with the battery life of the g14 2024. At best in silent mode only playing a KZfaq video [DGPU DISABLED], I’m using 15w and the laptop at best gives about 5-6hrs and nowhere near the 9-10hr mark. If you’re open to having a discussion about this specific stance on the battery situation on the g14 I’m available to have this discussion at a platform of your choosing. Currently as it stands, there has been no way possible to get this g14 laptop to last anything past 6hrs unfortunately and to leave the laptop just on without any activity so it can get 7hrs at best just makes Zero sense.

I have the g16 4090 And the g14 4070 both 2024 models (wanted to try them out) Honest to goodness they’re both such amazing laptops. I love them both. I do favor my G14 just because of the form factor for travel and I don’t notice a huge drop off in games that I play like hell divers or Jedi Survivor. However, of course, the G16 display size mix with the 4090 is unbeatable , I do find for me personally with G helper settings both battery life are improved greatly but my G 14 always seems to out perform my G 6 battery life. I’m a g14 guy because I travel but if you are gonna be at home then you can’t go wrong. They are gorgeous either way and worth the upgrade imo Also thanks so much Josh! This was so helpful!

Frustrating when you spend 2500 and beyond to get Ram or SSD bottlenecked 😢

I picked up the 2024 G14 16GB for $1099…but wondering if I should have gone for the 32GB version. 😂

Incredible how 2023 g14 beats 2024 g16 in games... 4090 in a smaller laptop with better perf.. crazy!

Best laptop reviewer hands down

u need AI for 480hz refres rate

I rather have a 4080 Oled

Bro I own a g15 ga503 from 2020 Specs are 5900hs and rtx 3060 I reposted cpu and gpu with thermal grizzly kryonaut like a month ago. Iam barely getting 100 fps on performance mode on fortnite And the funny thing is all the other games seem to do better . It's just fortnite, and I looked through all over the internet for fixes and couldn't find it. I thought it was thermal issues My cpu runs at 40watts at 97°c with gpu at 100 watts at 86°c and yes I swapped my gpu bios. All my other games perform well I get 60fps in rdr2 with all high settings, 120 to 144 fps in doom eternal high settings, 90 to 100 fps in uncharted 4, 45 to 60 fps in ratchet and clank, 60 to 90 fps in cyberpunk high settings, All these results are done in 1440p with dlss balanced. The only issue is forntite, and I really need help with this issue, Here's what I can conclude tho I think the igpu must be the issue because everything else seems fine, No form of throttling in gpu and cpu, The ram is working good and ssd has a wear of 96%. I can't find the issue with my laptop bro. I would really like some assistance pls Thanks in advance

PHURST! hehe

G14 2024 4090 is the best. End of conversion.
