Yes, ASUS has just released a gaming laptop that amazes me with its courage, because here ASUS shows that gaming laptops don’t have to be thick, overdesigned, or look flashy with sharp red and green patterns like the usual gaming laptops – but they chose to make gaming laptops.
which is light, compact, with soft and simple color tones typical of professional laptops, but the performance is still powerful, guys, because this laptop uses the latest AMD Ryzen Mobile 4000 series processor! Yes, this is the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, the latest ASUS gaming laptop that already uses the latest AMD Ryzen Mobile 4000 series.
Asus Gaming Laptop 2022
So when we talk about the processor with the codename Renoir, it’s quite interesting because it comes with the Zen 2 architecture with a 7nm process, which makes its performance better and less power consumption.
Well, if we look at the design, at first glance it looks like a professional laptop, guys, simple, minimalist, and compact too. Colors also tend to be soft with the choice of Moonlight White like the one I’m reviewing and Eclipse Grey. But on some sides, the details of the gaming characters are still visible, such as the ROG emblem above here which makes this laptop not lose its identity as the ROG family, the sharp and straightforward design of the angles on the rear airflow grille, and the ROG Zephyrus logo in several places. .
But what’s cool, guys, this is what I want to show you guys, and I think this is still the only one, it’s not available on other gaming laptops yet. So if we turn on the laptop, behind this screen there is the Anime Matrix that is on, it can turn on the ROG logo, the text we want, the images we attach, or even the equalizer when listening to music. So there are 1215 mini LEDs here that make this laptop unique and eye catching when we use it.
Low Weight Laptop at Cheap Price
This laptop only weighs 1.6kg, which for a gaming laptop is already really light, and although it’s still a little thicker than a real business or professional laptop, it’s already thin considering the specs it has and its original identity which is a gaming laptop. . And at least you can easily take this with you everywhere because with its weight this is arguably the most portable gaming laptop I’ve ever tried.
The screen itself is 14 inches with a refresh rate of 120Hz, so for gaming, it looks so smooth! And there are two resolution options, FHD for gamers and WQHD for content creators who need high resolution and color accuracy, so basically ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is a laptop that is not just for gamers, but can be used by content creators or professionals who need it. fast laptop performance.
And speaking of performance, this laptop is powered by an AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile Series processor, starting from the AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS variant to the Ryzen 9 4900HS. And the GPU is up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, RAM is up to 24GB DDR4, and storage is up to 1TB NVMe SSD.
Now, the unit I’m reviewing is the AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS variant, NVIDIA GeForceGTX 1650 Ti 4GB GPU, and 8GB RAM. From real usage to playing this game, it’s been very smooth, guys, the performance is fast, even though it’s quite hot when playing heavy games for a long time on the Turbo performance setting. But for the heat itself, apart from being discharged using a fan through the ventilation, it is also distributed to the metal body, guys. And it has an ergolift hinge as well, so when you open it it lifts up a bit, so there’s an opening for cooling on this laptop. And yes, in the armory crate, it turns out that there is also a scenario profile to adjust the fan performance, so it’s quite flexible for cooling.
And for smooth daily work, I use it to edit and render videos, the performance is steady, although for content creation it will be more comfortable, guys, if you use a WQHD screen, not an FHD one like the one I’m reviewing.
When it comes to technicalities, there are 5 performance modes that you can choose from on this laptop, starting from Windows, Silent, Performance, Turbo, and there’s also a manual if you want to set it manually.
And for the benchmark results in turbo mode, you can see in the video, both the PCMark 10 benchmark results or the.
3DMark benchmark
Okay now I want to discuss the keyboard. which as a gaming laptop turns out to be cool for typing. The distance between the keys and the key travel is comfortable for gaming and work. It’s backlit too. Then we can also log in using a fingerprint by scanning the power button. You can also access the Armory crate using this ROG button and the microphone mute button is also there.
And when it comes to ports, guys, this laptop has 2 USB Type-C ports, one of which supports display output and Power Delivery as well. So yes, you can charge using a 65W USB Type-C charger, with a note that this is much smaller than the original 180W charger, so obviously I prefer to charge it with the original charger. Then there is also an HDMI port, headphone jack, DC port, and two USB Type-A. For wireless connectivity, it supports Bluetooth 5.0, and for WiFi it supports the latest Wi-Fi 6.
For audio, there are two speakers and two tweeters with Dolby Atmos. From what I tried, the audio is solid, guys, so making multimedia is also cool.
Now for the battery, guys, what I’ve tried can last up to 10 hours for video playback, but of course it’s faster for gaming. I myself use turbo mode more often when playing games and this mode can be activated when connected to the power input.
And if I can conclude, this ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is a gaming laptop that is different from the others, because it is not only suitable for gamers but also for content creators or professionals. This is a lightweight, stylish, and minimalist gaming laptop but still has a fierce performance. And I’m glad that there are gaming laptops that have a simple portable design like this, which means that apart from playing games, I can also take it with me everywhere as a laptop for work.
Yes, the price is not cheap, but it is still in a reasonable range for a gaming laptop. And I will write the latest price details in the description of this video.
So far I can say this is the best gaming laptop in 2020, and you can tell in the comments what you think about this laptop.
