This laptop has been something I've been looking for. Something that I can game on occasionally, and use it for school/work. The battery life and how light it is, is amazing.

just bought mine - its impossible to overstate how incredible the speakers are. sounds like im playing sound from an external speaker with NO distortion on higher volumes. the display is GORGEOUS too

great vid Mark!

Screen wobble should not exists for the price the laptop cost.

Been using my 2024 G14 for two weeks now, been loving it!!

Dope video 👌🏽

Hey Mark! G16 (2450e) or Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 (2300e) ? They both have the same specs 4060, 32gb/1tb, Ultra 9. The Yoga has the 3.2k touch Mini-LED. I would mainly use it for music production. I don't game. I already ordered the Yoga (might still be able to cancel), since I heard its much quieter than the G16 with 3 fans, but heard that there might be a fix for the G16 noise. I love the design of the G16, but figured the Yoga was the safer option because of less fan noise, heat, brighter screen (blacks almost as good as OLED.) I now you haven't reviewed the Yoga yet, but I would still love to hear your opinion. Thanks!

When you actually look at the wattage specs on the gpu for the g16 4080, does it say 115W or 125W because i have seen both appear on the same laptop for different people which is confusing me.

Hi Mark, great video, two questions: 1. Was the G14's fan noisy, did it get very hot? 2. Blade 14 (2023) vs the G14? which one you think makes more sense? similar pricing...

Thinking on getting the G14, though I am relatively new to the computer tech/specs world. So I maybe be juggling myself between this and the Razer Blade 15 or Lenovo Legion. Mostly concerning the storage (a 1TB s my primary goal, and maybe there are two ssd slots), rtx, good performance and 16/32 ram.

Hey why did you prefer more to game on ghe g14 vs g16? I didn't quite got that part ! Thxs

hope this has a version with the CAMM2 ram

I really liked the ROG G14 OLED when I tried it.

I’m debating on one of these laptops for gaming and school work. Can’t decide on what one if I get the 16 inch I would only get a 4080.

Hello. Quick question. Do you think they'll release a G14 with a 5070 in it in the near future? Planning to buy one soon, but if the 50-series is just over the horizon, then I'd rather wait for the G14 variant with 5070 instead. Good video btw! TIA 😊

Hi, I have a question about the G16, I was looking into getting the 4070 model which retails for £2599 in the UK. How does the 4070 feel with the 240hz display in comparison with the G14s 120hz?

For those who do not understand the reason for the micro sd card port, it's not that you can just use a dongle to read any card, but it's a cheap way to add storage to the laptop. Some 1 TB micro sd cards can sell for about $65, so in a way, it converts the laptop from 1 TB to 2 TB albeit one is the ssd.

What about battery 🔋 in ultra settings ?

Is the fan noise of G16 so loud that it can affect music production ? I am looking for a laptop for production but afraid of the fan noise. Though i will use a good pair of headphones but, i really want to know about the fan noise. Or should i go for MacBook pro 16" M3 pro ?

Not a gamer , but hoping to run some engineering/architecture programs. Trying to decide between G16 RTX4070 Ultra7 vs G16 RTX4080 Ultra 9 ?? . Aware of the fan differences and wondering if it is such of a big deal to take into consideration when deciding which one to go for

Hi, I want to get myself a gaming laptop. Looking towards this laptop Zephyrus G16, but I didn't like the fact that it has a cut-down graphics card that only uses 115 TGP. Maybe I should take Legion pro 7, if I want my laptop to be relevant for another 3 years and that would be to me as my main computer ? What do you think or what other laptop can you recommend ?

finally someone really talk abt the ssd upgradability

I’ve been looking at buying a MacBook for productivity (video editing, audio and 3d softwares) for some time now, and I only just found out these things exist, whats the comparison between these two laptops? Does one perform better than the others? It’s pretty hard to find comparisons between Apple and Windows hardware that’s easy to understand. Thanks for the help.

I have to travel a lot and would like to get either the Zephyr G14 or G16. Is the G16 portable or should I rather get the 14, since I have to travel a lot?

nice sound comparison

Great video as always Mark! If they're as good for gaming would you say these are good for music production?

There was a report that the performance on the g16 was unpredictable and inconsistent. Sometimes games would run at full capacity and other times Armoury Crate and Intel would fight with each other for resources? Has this been patched, and did you experience anything like this?

Hi mark. please suggest me. I really like this laptop but concerned about the oled panel as i want to use the laptop for 5 years atleast. will oled last that long? specially if i do heavy gaming on it?

I’m stuck between a g16 or a MacBook Pro. Help

Just got the G14 4070 and this is a neck breaker. One of the best purchases I've ever made

thanks for sharing.... is this OLED screen better than the Galaxybook 3 and 4 Pro?

all those rig only need nice exhaust system i like their form factor

im confused between ASUS ROG Strix G18 (2023) i9 13980hx and this laptop....i have more emphasis on engineering programs,ai training,etc.....what is better?....on other hand i want oled but worried about burn in and but also want 18inch screen.....and i need upgradability...which is in strix g18...which is better?

does it worth waiting for next year gen and getting those for half the price?

Wallpaper?

Nice review. I have the G16 with rtx 4060. For video editing it is great. And beautiful laptop not heavy 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Mark, as someone who's tried both Legion 7i Gen9 and Zephyrus G16 (2024), I want to ask you: Have you actually had the chance to use both before coming to the conclusion that this is the closest thing to Macbooks?

do you think that the g14 4060 2024 16 gigs will be good enough to last about 5 years of coding and gaming? the higher price of the 4070 with 32 gigs of ram is out of my budget and the 4060 version of the 2024 g14 is on sale on best buy for $1350 which seems like a good deal? Do you think that its a good deal? Great video though!

Do 4060 versions come with 32 ram And oled? The lineup is super confusing.

From a laptop that cost only $300-400 to these laptops are hella upgrade for me. Consider my old laptop is wobbling like crazy this is actually nice for me. Only downside is that it gets hot since metal and they conducts heat. So external fans are still noticeable heat there. Love my new laptop. Hella good screen and speakers.

Is platinum white colour stain prone? Can we clean it easily?

isn’t there any way to tighten the hinge yourself?

i cant decide between the 14 and 16in

I really like this laptop but I heard it underperforms in gaming. And also I worry about the oled burn in

Whats the model number of the g16? I tried to find it on asus website but i can't find the oled variant. 😢

Can you review the 2024 Lenovo Yoga pro 9i?

How was the heat? I had the G16 4070 and it was too much. Thinking of grabbing the 4080 version because it has a better cooling system.

Which laptop has the better CPU perfomance wise?

which did u like between 14 and 16 inch for gaming?

What was the song name used to test the speakers?

underrated reviewer keep it up

had the g16 rtx 4080 variant, seen reviewers managed to get 8-9 hours of battery and I managed to get 2-3 hours from 80-10%. I've turned on all the power saving stuff, what worst I had my screen on 20% brightness but 100% oled flickering with a maximum CPU 30% power with dgpu disabled and it's still around those hours, can't even pump out a 6-7 hour result. Help me out.....

Is the G16 sharp enough with its 2K display? Will it be as pixelated as a 1080p 15" or so?

how are the thermals on the g14? especially compared to g14 2023?

what's the brightness/nits on OLED?

Sir how long battery life of g 16 when use what watching YT...?

what about battery life comparison for both laptop

Anyone tried the G14 with After Effects + Davinci ?

would you suggest the 2024 razer blade 14 over the 2024 g14?

anybody could share its experience about fan noise? heating? battery life?

Does it overheat while heavy gaming?

Would you recommend to gets the G14 over an MacBook Air M3 16gb ram and 512ssd? I just can’t decide

Looks like the stock Windows XP background on those laptops :)

So you mostly use G14 but mostly game on G16? Could you please clarify a bit

Would you recommend the Lenovo legion slim 5 14.5" oled over the g14(it's around $1049 on best buy sometimes while the g14 is 1599) they almost have the same specs.. or should i splurge a bit more for the g14

I dont understand why dont they release a ryzen powered g16?

ive been debating on the 4060 16gb ram or the 4070 32 gb version. i know the ram is soldered on so obviously alot of people prefer the 32gb ram. i normally if not ever have editing software open while im gaming. i do stream and game at the same time though but 16gb ram is enough for me to do that. idk if anyone has any feedback on this to sway me 1 direction or the other. as i am open to either side. im just 50/50 at the moment

Do a comparison with Lenovo Yoga 9i Pro

Noob question: Will all of the 23/24 G14/16 models run RDR2 on max graphics easily?

I have an m3 max, and a fully spec'd out g14. I find myself using the M3 Max around the house, mostly because the battery literally never dies, and the Apple trackpad is far superior to the g14. For productivity and developer work, Apple wins. For travel, or any time I want remote access to a gaming rig, the g14 is a delightful swap out for the M3 Max. On the developer side, WSL provides me with a workable solution to missing Unix. On the productivity side, you have to flip a few switches to low, but battery life isn't terrible. Hell, even light gaming on battery is fine, with Valorant pulling something like 65-75 FPS on battery at full res / all settings. The main issues are in Windows. I hate how I have to always be thinking about battery. I hate having to think about what "mode" my GPU is in. I hate having to swap resolutions, refresh rates, all of those things, to not have 2 hours of battery life on a brand new laptop. The M3 max GPU, which is roughly equivalent to a mobile 4070, has no such burden for the user. It just works. Windows should really focus on making shit that just works. When using the M3 Max, I find myself missing the g14 screen. The colors really pop -- it's so sharp and vibrant. The G14 speakers are great, but the fans are super loud if you're gaming so you should probably be using headphones anyways. For productivity / youtube / netflix, the g14 is a joy of a laptop. The g14 gets moderately hot while gaming. Nothing out of the ordinary here, and nothing that my M3 Max doesn't also do. If you can only have one laptop, and you absolutely must game, the g14 is coming scary close to beating the macbook pro as my daily carry. What I see are almost all fixable, software problems with Windows + the Asus BIOS.

we already have a macbook for windows, its the razer blade

Does a 4tb/8tb Ssd fit in the g14?

This was a non starter because of the lack of RAM expansion.

Can i charge the flagship G16 with a 100W type C charger?

The big question, which laptop is the over-all best laptop G14 or G16?

So nobody in there will talk about issues about warranty affair scam around Asus?

If they had touch screen and better battery they'd be perfect

These laptops are really great, but the price gouging asus is doing with them in Asian/European markets is ridiculous. Selling a 4070 for $3,000 USD without offering the 4080/4090 models (In asia) is a scam. Also I doubt people would have been as bothered by the soldered ram had asus just included a 64gb ram option, which in 2024 is shocking that they don't. Great review, but I was wondering what's the deal with the higher resolution screen on a lower powered 14" laptop compared to the 16", feels counterintuitive to me.

Is G14 wobble like the G16?

Battery life?

Totally agree on the SD card slot for the G14. I'm sad they didn't include a full size one. But besides that, it's honestly such a refreshing laptop that has replaced my MacBook Air. I'm also excited to give Davinci Resolve 19 a try soon, too! Cheers!

actually wobbling ruins 16 inch version... no way to pay its price, and get this wobbling. g14 is amazing so

what about thermal?

Which one is better? G14 or g16? If you would buy

I have a surface laptop 4 and my speakers are ok it lacks bass. My iPhone sounds better when it's full volume.

Asus in general is the best. All of their laptops are excellent 👌

Don't want intel nuclear reactor on the 16" version. Waiting for amd strix point

The G14 isn't almost as good as the MacBook, it's better than a MacBook. It does everything and it does it better than any other 14" I have tested. Also I recently went from the 16GB which I used for 40 days to the 32GB and it seems ASUS is listening to the cons because the screen is tighter. The screen wobble on my new device is so marginal you can't even see it anymore, compared to the previous 16GB I was using. Also from testing both 14" and 16" you can tell there is a significant wobble with the bigger model. For some reason the G16 didn't feel like something that was portable enough for me and the battery life in some cases is half of what I can squeeze out of the G14 which is roughly 10 hours.

Went to my Best Buy the other day: G14 speakers sounded better than the bigger brother G16. Checked both laptop settings in Dolby Access and they were the same, the G14 sounded richer and fuller.

Just would say from design pov i liked transcend 14 more than these

after the warranty gamer Nexus did, asus is a no go and i have 5 gaming laptop off them no more

too sad no black G14..........

If the next year (2025) model will have less noisy fans, less screen wobble and less scratchable led strip, it could be close to perfection.

People commenting on the screen wobble must be the types to be on foot 99% of the time awake, or they're just overly dramatic. My only con is that my G16' cpu is idling at around 70 degrees on idle and around 85, sometimes even 90 degrees in Assassin's Creed Odyssey for example. I get that the 185H's max working temperature is up to 110 degrees, but come on..

X flow 16 2022 is better

dell's xps destroyed

🤣🤣🤣 We are comparing a Windows laptop to a............Mac laptop!!! 😅

legion is better, the oled screen is nice but not it could be harmful to your eyes

Look cool. Not that great though.

apple apple apple.....why dont you rename your channel to mark apple lisangan? half of your video is talking about macbook ffs
