What you need to know
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is one of theĀ best gaming laptopsĀ on the market for most people because it’s powerful, easy to carry and offers best-in-class battery life (for a gaming laptop). The newer models offer a better, brighter screen than earlier models, with good speakers and an AMD CPU/GPU combo that delivers solid gaming performance. This model also has a webcam built into the top bezel of the display, a convenience for video calls that earlier models lacked.Ā
However, the Zephyrus G14 can’t always deliver better performance than similarly-priced gaming laptops, and the webcam isn’t very good. Still, you’d have a hard time finding a better gaming laptop (that can also double as a work or school laptop) for this price.
Design: The Zephyrus G14 measures 12.28 x 8.94 x 0.77 inches, weighs 3.79 pounds and looks good in Asusā bright Moonlight White color scheme. The rounded corners and tapered edges balance out the sharp diagonal vents scattered across the chassis, and the optional and eye-catching AniMe Matrix mini-LED display on the back of the lid is a $600 cosmetic upgrade that will definitely turn heads.
Display: The 14-inch WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) display on the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022) looks great, and with its 16:10 aspect ratio I had no trouble juggling a lot of open windows on the desktop. The 120Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time and support for Dolby Vision HDR ensure the display is well-suited to making games and movies look their best.
Performance:Ā Gaming performance is what matters in a laptop like this, and the 2022 Zephyrus G14 delivers if you configure it right. Our well-equipped review unit Ā to hit 30-40 frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077 on max settings. However, that was with the help of AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution upscaling tech. In general, this laptop can run theĀ best PC gamesĀ quite well, and it has no trouble with basic productivity tasks.
Battery life: The Asus Zephyrus G14 (2022) lasted roughly 10 hours and 14 minutes in our Tom’s Guide battery test, and barely over an hour when gaming. That’s great web browsing time for a gaming laptop, so this is a great choice if you want a gaming machine that can also last through a day of classes.
