Ben, thanks for showing us which battery settings you used to get various battery lengths depending on the user needs. This is big and should be in every TH-camrs review. Keep the reviews coming.
if anybody is torn about throwing down $1500 on this 8 months down the road, i am happy to report that it is on sale for $1090 at Best Buy right now. also-i love mine!
@@rollingturd7734 I just bought mine, they only had the 6800S with the AniMe. I will let you know when it gets in, just reply to this comment so I can remember!
I was able to get the 6700s for 1100 at Best Buy it’s a great little pc very happy with performance. The 6800 is also 1400 right now, was 1800 at the time tho I couldn’t justify a 700 price difference, if I went now tho I’d prob grab the 6800 for 1400
I was toyed between this or last years M16 with a 3060. I bought the G14 6700S version after doing my research, currently waiting for the delivery. Really excited to game on this and watch Netflix with Dolby Vision / Atmos at 2.5k res!
I have both g14 with 6700s & m16 3060 They're both great for editing definitely now it depends on if you prefer a more portable laptop or one with a huge screen.
@@Jwheels89 I had to return the device twice sadly 1 model kept having wifi & display issues & the 2nd model had freezing issues upon using Unity & blender. So far the 3rd model has been working well but if I experience something different then I'll just exchange it for the m16 2022 model. But I do love the form factor & how light tye g14 is, it's still pretty powerful. Great colors & sound
Love this! I am currently enjoying my g14 a lot. Thank you for all the benchmarks and everything to help me make a sound decision!

@@BenGKaiser Hey ben! So I'm currently using g14 6800 version. But I'm only getting around 4hrs of battery life! Can you please suggest how to improve that?
Best computer i have owned. It feels premium (Mac way) it runs so smothly, i never cared about ultra high graphics just want to be able to play all games. Even my girl likes to use it. Recommend it highly. Ani Max is so cool! :). One thing that standed out also is the way you can turn the screen 180 degrees. Trust me when lying down on the sofa or the bed you want to be able to turn the screen like a tablet sometimes to free your legs.
Hey man I am just asking what do you think about the thermals and fan noise of the device How is the device thermal and noise when your doing basic stuff like browsing watching TH-cam or replying to emails And how is the device when doing more intensive tasks like video/photo editing and gaming Sorry for the long comment :)
Great questions. Regarding Video and photo editing the in-depth fan noise and thermals results are in this video. So I think that will help you a lot. Photo Editing - 7:43 Video Editing - 9:53 In regards to web browsing, you can turn it on Silent + Eco Mode and have little to no fan noise.
Would you still recommend this as a laptop for graphic designers who use more illustrator and indesign and slight gaming as well? I know I've seen a fee videos where it gets a little hot to, is that an issue I should be worried about?
I bought the tuf 15 with i712650/3070 and g14 r9/6700s and I like the g14 much more. Better screen for lighter games that can run 2k. Can pop it into 1080 if it struggled. Better looking. 16:10 aspect ratio makes the smaller screen feel comparable to a 16:9 larger 15.6. Also, picked up a mint open box for 860 at Best Buy. Can’t beat it.
I am still debating if I should go for the G14 or the G15. I am 3D production professional, do alot of work in Maya, Blender, Houdini and Spainter. If the G14 had a Nvidia GPU, I would 100% go for the G14 2022 model. I don't want to purchase the last gen model with 3060, as I think purchasing the latest model will benefit more in the long run especially with the webcam and MUX Switch. Nvidia is still far ahead for rendering and 3D workflow. I will just have to purchase the G15 with Nvidia GPU for this generation unfortunately. Comments are welcome please. Thanks for the video.
I had the same concern. I'm a design student, and I plan to learn 3d as well. I went for the 2021 nvidia model, and got a super sweet deal on it as well. I think the webcam problem isn't that big for me cause I already own a mirror less and an external webcam that I use. I think you can manage the lack of camera by buying an external one, but you can't really get a gpu externally ( for cheap).
Perhaps you can also search for this year's models of Asus's Nvidia powered gaming laptops. The Ryzen APU models would be less expensive than Intel laptops however, and they will have considerably better battery life too. Also consider that if you will be pushing the laptop hard with very long renders, set the temperature limits for the CPU at 80C and for the GPU at 75C, and don't turn on the fan at max speed in order to extend its life. That way the laptop will serve you for much more and there will be almost no degradation with these temps.
@Jono whats about the Asus Rog Flow X16? AMD CPU + NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070Ti I am also looking for a new Laptop and I think between ASUS ROG G14 & ASUS ROG Flow X16.
Hi, thanks for your detailed video. I wanna ask sometihing. They say that the ventilation outlets of this device are getting hot on the screen. Do you think this is true?
7:00 mark - you can have 8+32= 40gb ram running on this machine? Would he first 16gb be running dual channel while the other 24 is running single channel with diminished performance? Also, would the frequencies have to match at 4800?
Great video Ben, thank you. Can you kindly suggest would a G14 2022 be better than a zenbook 14 2022 for daily use. For basic chrome, work, netflix, youtube. No games at all. Thank you.
Yes, definitely the ZenBook 14 for your use case. Not sure what your budget is, but the VivoBook S 14X is awesome as well. Just finished filming my unboxing of that model. :)
How bad is the backlight bleed on your model? I replaced mine because it had pretty bad backlight bleed, but the other one also had a lot of backlight bleed.
Lol I'm on my 3rd m16 Zephyrus because of that. About to call asus an see if they can send one that has been qc tested recently an send one that has none
I have abeast desktop... but want something decent for when I travel... I do video editing. do I get this? or do I wait for next gen? I wouldnt be using it full time.
Throttle stop is your best friend laptop users, best tool you'll find online. If you want to optimize battery life I'd recommend a download to lowe clock speeds or disable turbo if you don't need it for certain work loads
I got the G14 in hand here, but my touchpad is moving up and down while I'm only lightly tabbing. (not using the clicks). It feels wrong, is it the same on your unit?
Hello, can you link the kingston fury used for replacement? Thank you is it KF548S38IB-32 / or would you recommend this for +32gb or 40GB upgrade? Not sure if this CL38 Fury Impact or CL40 crucial would be better / more compatible
I do not have personal results, but both will perform the same when Eco mode is turned on because that bipasses the GPU and only runs the system on the CPU. If the comparing 6800S and 6700S in action for battery life the 6700S will get slightly better battery life because it is drawing slightly less power.
The GPU gets turned off completely while on battery at Eco mode. Otherwise the laptop would only work for around 3-4 hours because with those GPUs the laptops have around 20-25W power consumption on standby. With the iGPU however (which is powerful too) it would consume around 5-7W on standby. It's also not just the CPU, it's an APU, which is basically a combination of a CPU and a powerful iGPU, something like the 28W TDP Intel CPUs inside Intel Macbooks with Iris Pro graphics. This also means that every gaming laptop effectively has two GPUs and you can try to pass through the discrete GPU to a VM for the Mutahar maneuver (playing videogames at native speed on a virtual machine)
I used to get 12 to 14 hours on my ThinkPad T480 with hotswap 6 cell batt, but I just ordered a 9 cell batt so I should be able to get some more. I'm a Premiere and Photoshop rat. 6 hours batt life is nothing to be excited about, raise the bar. When you need work crap done and you're travelling, the best laptop is a laptop that actually powers up.
Hey! Sorry to bother you but I need help deciding. I need a laptop and I'm between the Asus TUF F15 (i7 12700h, RTX3060, 16GB DDR5, 1TB) and this exact model of the g14. Both are around 1400 but I can't decide. Could you pls help me
I own an A 3080 desktop which plays every game at triple A max settings at 120 fps easily but what I will say between the screen battery life and performance although not the greatest at this price point it makes up for it by fulfilling multiple roles I can use it to take notes for hours on end and not have to worry about the fans kicking on while idle on my old gaming laptop plus if you dial in your settings properly you can hit 120 fps qhd easily on e sports titles and 60 fps on story which is really all most of us need. Otherwise probably the best all rounder you can buy and coming from intel and nvida it made me join the amd hype train.
I currently have the 6800s in hand but the screen is acting up. Now that 6700s is on sale and after watching your video I'm thinking about returning it for a 6700s version. Would you say 6700s is enough for the long run? I might be using it for 4 years. Also I have a desktop already so I don't plan on doing any gaming, maybe very light gaming on this laptop. At most I'll be using Matlab VScode and maybe some light photo editing
Personally I'd choose the 6700S over the 6800S for the slightly cooler thermals. I don't think the performance bump is enough to merit the heat it pushes out.
If you aren't gaming on it full time then definitely go for a 6700S version. It's still very fast. Though personally because I am not gaming either but mostly do programming and occasionally some light gaming, and I want to be on a budget, I would go for the new Asus Vivobook S14/S15 with a Ryzen 6800H and no dGPU and 16GB RAM, once they hit store shelves
i've macbook air m2 . is it make sense for me to change my laptop for 4gb nvidia gtx3050 , ryzen 7 5800 , 60 hz and 16gb ram asus zepyhrus g14? how is my model zephyrus's charging for daily use (watching film,searching,).can i use it like my macbook :D and for gaming.thanks.
Hi I recently bought a ga 402 2022 with 32gb ram but it has 2 different brands installed! one samsung and one hynix,is it normal? and i can see in hwinfo that it works in dual channel instead of quad!why it that? is my laptop repaired or upgraded before?
The performance will certainly reduce due to the fact that the rest of the 24GB of RAM will have to essentially work at single-channel speed, since the 8GB bank will be full. However, this is only when you have memory intensive tasks running there.
i returned my thinkpad x1 carbon gen 10 a few days ago and picked up an open box model of this at best buy for $900 and some change :) hopefully it treats me well
can you please find out and tell, do g14, g15 & m16 2022 models have fingerprint sensor along with ir sensor or they have ditched the fingerprint sensor on 2022 models?
Could it be powered continuously thru USBC (100w) if I use integrated graphics / eco mode ? Im wondering if I could carry one less charger shall I go on trips . Thanks !
Definitely, it can also be powered continuously with the GPU running at around 50W - as long as the total power consumption is less than 90W for the whole laptop. So basically you can play games at Silent mode. Just make sure to have the CPU cooled properly because I've seen the laptops running at more than 80C for the CPU and GPU on Silent, you should set an 80°C limit for CPU and 75°C limit for GPU where the laptop would either ramp up the fans or have a hard limit and throttle the speeds
can this laptop work for basic work functions, excel, outlook ect? I want to get this since my company will pay for a laptop and i could also use the benefits as a gaming laptop in a pinch
There is soldered DDR5 on board. No matter how fast memory you put into replaceable slot, it will not run above limitation of soldered RAM. G14 uses 4800MHz DDR5 which is slowest of available memories. ASUS X13 uses 5600MHz and some other laptops use 6400MHz. It is not as big deal as users will use dGPU, so CPU does not need to share memory bandwidth with iGPU. G14 has poor cooling design, It is definition of style over substance. Worst is hot air blowing against lower part of display where screen has its electronics. Would G14 been designed by someone with bit more practical mind, it would be great device. As it is still impressive device even with obvious critical design flaws.
would it mess up the screen over time? thats the dealbreaker for me on this. got the slim legion 7 instead, tho all other factors points to the g14 to be better
@@JC-wm1uw Dave2D asked Asus and said it wasn't an issue but time will really tell. I needed something small form factor for college and a 15+ inch laptop would simply be too big for me.
I've been looking all over the internet trying to get this laptop! But I live in China and they only offer R7-6800HS 16G 1TB RX6700S 😭. The only R9 device they have on their website is the R9-6900HX RTX3060... 😒. I'm a new content creator and every video I watch pushes me closer to the 2022 Zephyrus G14. Should I just bite the bullet and get the R7?
@@stefanrabicano I got the legion 5i pro. With 3 year next day repair warranty for £1,564 during one of Lenovos many sales. The performance is insane. The battery life horrendous.
Hope everyone that buys this has better luck than I did , machine does not stay cool, second it goes under load gets way 2 hot and begins to throttle severely and cannot hold steady frame rates.
This one is useful for me to set my g14, sadly my g14 have speaker issue and I don’t know if that is a hardware problem or software problem. My audio is missing in the armory crate as well
In poland there are two options Ryzen 7 6800+RX6700 with 16gb regular display or R9 69600 +RX8000 32GB with nebula display - so i picked one with better RAM and display Great Laptop BUT: in eco/silent mode it last like 2-3h i am sending it back and waiting for asus response :(
I just bought this laptop today and ive been having issues where the screen will randomly go black, you can still hear what is going on the desktop. I would hard restart and sometimes it will come back and sometimes i have to restart again. Any way to fix this?
I have been a console gamer and I am gonna buy g14 over ps5 and gaming is mostly all I’m worried about. I work out of my truck which is when I do most of my gaming. I am still on the fence between the 6700 and 6800. Not worried about the price difference but thermals between the 2 units at the same fps. My understanding is you can fine tune the watts on either one to get the fps that’s acceptable and not overheat the laptop so if you had the 6800 but turned down the watts the thermals should stay in check. The reason I am focused on thermals is being outside in a truck in the summertime. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Sub on the way…
Yes, on AMD laptops there's two ways to "turn down the watts" that's called limiting the TDP through software. THe G14 and all Asus ROG models came pre-installed with a proprietary control layer called "Armoury Crate" which lets you choose and toggle with shortcut keys between power profiles that allow for cooler CPU temps without sacrificing gaming performance. At leas 3 or 4 pre sets are already configured with that in mind. If you want to limit the watts even further than the Armoury CRate software, you can google and research about a little app called AATU (AMD APU Tuning Utility) which lets you a finer control of the maximum wattage of the CPU, thus allowing the total system heat to be as lower as your gaming requirements will admit!.
If you're looking for ps5 replacement, consider X13 and X16. They offer the best console gaming experience from a laptop by being converted to "tent mode"
Hi I just bought this laptop (2022 version) and has adjusted the battery settings exactly how you had and had updated all my drivers and uninstalled AMD apps using AMD cleanup utility. I had also disabled boost on the g14 and put it on battery save mode, but the estimated battery time only ever goes up to 5 hours at best. Could I get some help on why that might be?
The estimated battery life is very inaccurate, you might want to see how much you're actually getting by using it. I've had laptops say they're going to last for 40 minutes only to die after 4 hours.
this one is currently $1399 at Best Buy, thinking of just pulling the trigger at this price. Mostly going to use for work and gaming here and there mostly apex legends. Anyone know what the fps is for apex with different settings?

The GPU gets turned off completely while on battery at Eco mode. Otherwise the laptop would only work for around 3-4 hours because with those GPUs the laptops have around 20-25W power consumption on standby. With the iGPU however (which is powerful too) it would consume around 5-7W on standby.
It's also not just the CPU, it's an APU, which is basically a combination of a CPU and a powerful iGPU, something like the 28W TDP Intel CPUs inside Intel Macbooks with Iris Pro graphics. This also means that every gaming laptop effectively has two GPUs and you can try to pass through the discrete GPU to a VM for the Mutahar maneuver (playing videogames at native speed on a virtual machine)
why the hell would you be worried about battery life did you not listen or do research? this is one of the most efficient computer on the market
Get a desktop for gaming, just imo.
I used to get 12 to 14 hours on my ThinkPad T480 with hotswap 6 cell batt, but I just ordered a 9 cell batt so I should be able to get some more. I'm a Premiere and Photoshop rat. 6 hours batt life is nothing to be excited about, raise the bar. When you need work crap done and you're travelling, the best laptop is a laptop that actually powers up.
Hey! Sorry to bother you but I need help deciding.
I need a laptop and I'm between the Asus TUF F15 (i7 12700h, RTX3060, 16GB DDR5, 1TB) and this exact model of the g14. Both are around 1400 but I can't decide. Could you pls help me
Hey Ben, would you recommend this for someone who’s an architecture student who run software like twin-motion or Rhinoceros
Me too dude. My only concern is the battery life whilst running the high end GPU.
What is the fastest 13 or 14" laptop with touchscreen? Not Tablet. Laptop? Thank you!
I own an A 3080 desktop which plays every game at triple A max settings at 120 fps easily but what I will say between the screen battery life and performance although not the greatest at this price point it makes up for it by fulfilling multiple roles I can use it to take notes for hours on end and not have to worry about the fans kicking on while idle on my old gaming laptop plus if you dial in your settings properly you can hit 120 fps qhd easily on e sports titles and 60 fps on story which is really all most of us need. Otherwise probably the best all rounder you can buy and coming from intel and nvida it made me join the amd hype train.
thats why having cpu that can do battery life and decent performance is important in laptop. best gpu can do the rest.
hello, thank you for the video! but for 4k video editing, between this one and ProArt StudioBook Pro 16, which one is better? thank you!
Can i put a 32gb ddr5 in this laptop? I’m thinking about upgrading the ram and I’ve watched other reviews saying it can only hold about 16gb?
Great handheld! I've been enjoying mine for over a month.
Ben, can you review few business laptop (not gaming, nor for video edit), but screen resolution higher than 1080p?
I currently have the 6800s in hand but the screen is acting up. Now that 6700s is on sale and after watching your video I'm thinking about returning it for a 6700s version. Would you say 6700s is enough for the long run? I might be using it for 4 years. Also I have a desktop already so I don't plan on doing any gaming, maybe very light gaming on this laptop. At most I'll be using Matlab VScode and maybe some light photo editing
Personally I'd choose the 6700S over the 6800S for the slightly cooler thermals. I don't think the performance bump is enough to merit the heat it pushes out.
If you aren't gaming on it full time then definitely go for a 6700S version. It's still very fast. Though personally because I am not gaming either but mostly do programming and occasionally some light gaming, and I want to be on a budget, I would go for the new Asus Vivobook S14/S15 with a Ryzen 6800H and no dGPU and 16GB RAM, once they hit store shelves
What is the power of the charger that comes with? And what is the total weight? A review focused on battery life and portability should mention that
I think the power adapter is 240 watts.
Do you see a performance dip, if you upgrade the stock ram with a 32GB stick?
Hi I’m from India 2022 model in India cost around 1900 usd and old 5800 is around 1000 USD should I buy old model?
i've macbook air m2 . is it make sense for me to change my laptop for 4gb nvidia gtx3050 , ryzen 7 5800 , 60 hz and 16gb ram asus zepyhrus g14? how is my model zephyrus's charging for daily use (watching film,searching,).can i use it like my macbook :D and for gaming.thanks.
Hi
I recently bought a ga 402 2022 with 32gb ram but it has 2 different brands installed! one samsung and one hynix,is it normal?
and i can see in hwinfo that it works in dual channel instead of quad!why it that? is my laptop repaired or upgraded before?
Killing it Ben !
Thank you so much!
Rs6700 vs 6800 ? Both same price ...which one should I go for
My laptop doesn't have the modes listed in the video. I see no hybrid, I see no discrete. Are these old terms?
Can you do a benchmark on this with a 8+32GB DDR5 ram? I wanna know that having assymetric rams reduce performance in DDR5 tech.
Unfortunately, I cannot at the moment. I've yet to purchase a 32GB DDR5 RAM Module
If they have the same speed it shouldn't
@@BenGKaiser no worries! This review is more than enough for the time being!
The performance will certainly reduce due to the fact that the rest of the 24GB of RAM will have to essentially work at single-channel speed, since the 8GB bank will be full. However, this is only when you have memory intensive tasks running there.
@@one_step_sideways all ddr5 ram is dual channel per stick. The 8gb will be running at quad channel
How does the 6700s compare to a 3060 (laptop)?
How has the build quality been? I got an open box excellent and it has faulty fans. Anyone else have that issue?
should i get this or acer swift x 2022 ???
i returned my thinkpad x1 carbon gen 10 a few days ago and picked up an open box model of this at best buy for $900 and some change :) hopefully it treats me well
Did it treat u well
Great content as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
I bought a small 14 inch lenovo with 6900HS and RTX 3050 and 32gb ram in Costco for $1,100. Now it is back to $1,600
can you please find out and tell, do g14, g15 & m16 2022 models have fingerprint sensor along with ir sensor or they have ditched the fingerprint sensor on 2022 models?
@aris xxo but looks like Ben g says fingerprint scanner is present in 2022 models!?
Could it be powered continuously thru USBC (100w) if I use integrated graphics / eco mode ? Im wondering if I could carry one less charger shall I go on trips . Thanks !
Definitely, it can also be powered continuously with the GPU running at around 50W - as long as the total power consumption is less than 90W for the whole laptop. So basically you can play games at Silent mode. Just make sure to have the CPU cooled properly because I've seen the laptops running at more than 80C for the CPU and GPU on Silent, you should set an 80°C limit for CPU and 75°C limit for GPU where the laptop would either ramp up the fans or have a hard limit and throttle the speeds
can this laptop work for basic work functions, excel, outlook ect? I want to get this since my company will pay for a laptop and i could also use the benefits as a gaming laptop in a pinch
Yes definitely
Can i connect to 4k 120hz monitor with usb c?
Also does the HDMI super 1440 120hz too?
There is soldered DDR5 on board. No matter how fast memory you put into replaceable slot, it will not run above limitation of soldered RAM. G14 uses 4800MHz DDR5 which is slowest of available memories. ASUS X13 uses 5600MHz and some other laptops use 6400MHz. It is not as big deal as users will use dGPU, so CPU does not need to share memory bandwidth with iGPU.
G14 has poor cooling design, It is definition of style over substance. Worst is hot air blowing against lower part of display where screen has its electronics.
Would G14 been designed by someone with bit more practical mind, it would be great device. As it is still impressive device even with obvious critical design flaws.
It is quite informative. Can we connect this laptop to a 49 inch ultra-wide monitor via USB-C?
One of the USB-C ports will support Display.
Sir looking forward towards your intel hx processors review.
Me too! Can't wait to get my hands on one.
how does the Ryzen 7 performance?
panning to buy but only the ryzen 7 in available how does it perform?
On asus website it says max 24gb ram, the 8gb onboard and another 16gb stick, yet you said you can add another 32gb ram stick. Which is true?
How much difference is there between 6800s and 6700s? Will it be ok to go for 6700s considering future proof?
@Elysian okay. Thanks for the information.
the battery life is crazy
the one thing im curious about is can you undervolt it
Its already $100 off on Best Buy. People say it runs hot because the high temperatures but it never feels hot around the keyboard and touchpad.
would it mess up the screen over time? thats the dealbreaker for me on this. got the slim legion 7 instead, tho all other factors points to the g14 to be better
@@JC-wm1uw Dave2D asked Asus and said it wasn't an issue but time will really tell. I needed something small form factor for college and a 15+ inch laptop would simply be too big for me.
I bought the G14 6800S. Curious, can i max out the memory to 40GB by putting in a 32GB DDR5?
Yes, you can.
is it ok to buy this for a computer science degree student man. please reply much love
What programs will you be using?
@@BenGKaiser like python java something like that i want something for my degree and for some gaming also
@@BenGKaiser do you recommend it ben
Should I get the m16 with the intel and nvidia gfx card instead if I do video editing on premiere and some after effects?
This, or Alienware X14?
Does it have the anime Matrix??
I've been looking all over the internet trying to get this laptop! But I live in China and they only offer R7-6800HS 16G 1TB RX6700S 😭. The only R9 device they have on their website is the R9-6900HX RTX3060... 😒. I'm a new content creator and every video I watch pushes me closer to the 2022 Zephyrus G14. Should I just bite the bullet and get the R7?
Both are good options. But I have not been able to personally test either of those.
Same in UK absolutely zero stock anywhere. Ended up getting something else.
@@TruthReviews What did you end up getting - im in the same situation
@@stefanrabicano I got the legion 5i pro. With 3 year next day repair warranty for £1,564 during one of Lenovos many sales. The performance is insane. The battery life horrendous.
@@TruthReviews Thanks man - battery life is the major thing for me so ill steer clear of the 5i - trying to go AMD for that reason
Hope everyone that buys this has better luck than I did , machine does not stay cool, second it goes under load gets way 2 hot and begins to throttle severely and cannot hold steady frame rates.
Please review Zephyrus G15..
Can it run a triple screen setup throughout the usb c?
On 12/4, Ben G's above links show RX6800S is $250 CHEAPER than RX6700S model right now. 🤯🤯🤯
This laptop is so hard to find in Canada and there's no information about how or why
This one is useful for me to set my g14, sadly my g14 have speaker issue and I don’t know if that is a hardware problem or software problem. My audio is missing in the armory crate as well
Any idea about the G15? The pricing is almost similar (130$ difference) for G14 6800S and G15 paired with RTX 3060
It is bigger
@@plob5823 wow that’s something that I didn’t even think about, thanks for that!
Does it have ryzen 7 or it only have ryzen 9?
I really wished they made these with nvidia cards! I had to buy the 2021 version since I wanted Nvidia
Why did you want NIVIDA? I'm not biased towards either one... just wanted to know your perspective.
In poland there are two options Ryzen 7 6800+RX6700 with 16gb regular display or R9 69600 +RX8000 32GB with nebula display - so i picked one with better RAM and display
Great Laptop
BUT: in eco/silent mode it last like 2-3h i am sending it back and waiting for asus response :(
I don’t think the G14 has a nebula option
I just bought this laptop today and ive been having issues where the screen will randomly go black, you can still hear what is going on the desktop. I would hard restart and sometimes it will come back and sometimes i have to restart again. Any way to fix this?
I wanted this bad, but i read a lot of quality control issue about this laptop.
I have been a console gamer and I am gonna buy g14 over ps5 and gaming is mostly all I’m worried about. I work out of my truck which is when I do most of my gaming. I am still on the fence between the 6700 and 6800. Not worried about the price difference but thermals between the 2 units at the same fps. My understanding is you can fine tune the watts on either one to get the fps that’s acceptable and not overheat the laptop so if you had the 6800 but turned down the watts the thermals should stay in check. The reason I am focused on thermals is being outside in a truck in the summertime. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Sub on the way…
Yes, on AMD laptops there's two ways to "turn down the watts" that's called limiting the TDP through software. THe G14 and all Asus ROG models came pre-installed with a proprietary control layer called "Armoury Crate" which lets you choose and toggle with shortcut keys between power profiles that allow for cooler CPU temps without sacrificing gaming performance. At leas 3 or 4 pre sets are already configured with that in mind. If you want to limit the watts even further than the Armoury CRate software, you can google and research about a little app called AATU (AMD APU Tuning Utility) which lets you a finer control of the maximum wattage of the CPU, thus allowing the total system heat to be as lower as your gaming requirements will admit!.
If you're looking for ps5 replacement, consider X13 and X16. They offer the best console gaming experience from a laptop by being converted to "tent mode"
can you please please do a gaming test on the 6700s i cant find anywhere
Hi I just bought this laptop (2022 version) and has adjusted the battery settings exactly how you had and had updated all my drivers and uninstalled AMD apps using AMD cleanup utility. I had also disabled boost on the g14 and put it on battery save mode, but the estimated battery time only ever goes up to 5 hours at best. Could I get some help on why that might be?
The estimated battery life is very inaccurate, you might want to see how much you're actually getting by using it. I've had laptops say they're going to last for 40 minutes only to die after 4 hours.
this one is currently $1399 at Best Buy, thinking of just pulling the trigger at this price. Mostly going to use for work and gaming here and there mostly apex legends. Anyone know what the fps is for apex with different settings?
Last day on the base $1099 12/21/22
