This is my first time ever in whole life, watching a tech review, like listening to a story/audiobook. How you deliver the words, the pace, the tone, the background music, your accent, the pause.... Bloody hell mate, you are brilliant to put a character on your channel!
Still rocking my G14 from 2022. This thing is still a beast. It got me through college, and I’ve put an ungodly amount of hours in it(programming + gaming). The performance actually gets better in some cases with amd FSR 3.0(if you don’t mind the quirks) I literally only have two cons, and it’s the battery life( remember you’re buying a gaming Laptop) and it takes like an extra 5-10 seconds to connect to wifi on a cold boot on my system.
Great review, I love the pacing and relaxing tone compared to the usual high energy and pace of tech reviews. Just returned mine from best buy 6800/6700s WQHD 120hz and decided to go with the M16 (i9 12th, 3070ti, 144hz WQHD). I loved the machine, but for my taste the screen was just a touch too small.
I'd like to know more about heat and noise for 12th gen M16, I got 11th gen i9 11900h with rtx 3070 since Jan 2022. I always set Armory crate to Silent Mode. I've got some USB bugs also few screen bugs, dunno if it was a great to upgrade to Win 11 🤔
your reviews are just... different, and unique, i love every aspect you cover, it really emerses us into the review and the laptopos feel and experience, i hope you get more recognition warney! i really enjoy the minecraft background music haha, more review youtubers need to chill with the editing and take it a step back like you. URE AWESOME!
Bro - thanks for the review. I purchased the 6700 white system here in the US yesterday. I’m torn on it! Want to love it so much. It the change from NVIDIA to AMD GPUs is tough.
I’m in the same boat with switching from Nvidia to this 6700S/6800S. I really haven’t seen any reviews putting this head to head with the new 2022 Razer Blade 14, 6900HX w/ 3070ti. Curious on the performance, heat, and battery differences between the two. I’m guessing the $700 difference in price will steer many away from Razer 14.
I'm trying to get hold of one. The thing about the blade 14 that once you've seen you'll never unsee is the chin under the screen. For some reason it looks extra silly on a smaller device! Steven, I'm interested to hear how you get on with the 6700s. I'm actually enjoying the GPU so far. Plusses and minuses versus Nvidia for sure though 👍🏻
I got this for college and I’m majoring in computer information systems which works in IT. I also am a computer engineer and work with cad operating systems as well. So this is perfect for me.
@@yotr9299 the battery is very good! I like it a lot you have to charge it every now and then and it won’t last as long as a Mac laptop pro or whatever but I like the windows os anyways so I I’m fine with what I got. When you start it up it makes a loud sound with the Asus symbol coming up lol but other than that it’s great would totally recommend!
I opted to go without the animatrix lighting on the lid [Though I admit they are damned cool and I might go for it when I replace it in a few years if they are still doing it.] But I went for the more powerful 6900HS APU and Less powerful 6700S GPU. I keep it in Optimized mode, to disable the discrete GPU to save battery life, The graphics capabilities of the 6900HS on it's own are respectable if I still want to game a bit away from an outlet. And the overall performance difference between the 6700S and 6800S is fairly negligible. I prefer smaller laptops, Asus delivered a real winner with the G14 series this year. Nothing can compete with it at this size class, and still keep the same build quality, and performance. Razer Blade 14 can come in a beastly configuration, but at an extreme premium cost that just doesn't feel worth it, even next to the already slightly increased cost of this years G14's. My only complaint is the keyboard lighting is a little dim, and it's single zone. If we could have gotten per key lighting on top of everything else offered to the G14, I would have no complaints.
That's a very fair and informed assessment. Glad you like it so far! I think most people will find their own preferred way to tame the thermals. The thing that bugs me with the razer blade 14 is the display aspect ratio. I have no issue with 16:9 displays, I may even prefer them for gaming, but I just think the thick bottom bezel looks horrible on the blade 14. I have a blade 17 on my desk and I think it looks great. Something about the blade 14's smaller form factor just lends itself to the 16:10 for me I think.
@@WarneysWorld yea, the smaller form factor really benefits from the 16:10, that little extra screen space makes productivity apps more comfortable to work in as well. As for taming the thermals, I do about the same as you, just dial it back a bit on the power, and run games on slightly lower settings. It’s a 14 inch screen, I don’t need to be playing on “Ultra max pro melt your face” settings. That’s what the desktop is for! I love that you can limit the tdp for when your not doing anything demanding and just get bonkers battery life out of it.
@@lilomar214tx I’ve zero experience with the 2021 model. 2022 however has been great for me. After some tuning it really only gets hot if I’m gaming. The vapor chamber works great, at almost immediately bringing the temperatures back down after a gaming sessions too.
The graphics on the 7 are the same and theyre not APUs btw they're CPUs with integrated graphics there is a difference. The APUs AMD makes come with marketed GPU designs on the chip such as 660m or 680m inside the 6600U and 6800U. I don't get why you'd choose a better CPU over GPU in a gaming laptop, there is no point to more cores vs the r5/i5 and the R7 and R9 have the same amount of cores with negligible clock difference. Almost the same chip.
Very honest and thouroughly review, one thing to point out here though, it's not recommended to game on 100W usb type c PD because it will constantly charge and discharge your battery due to gpu and cpu needed extra power hence it will likely to damage it your battery in the long term
I went with the 6900hs/6700 model. It's indeed a little too hot to handle with it's out of the box configuration. Having said that updated BIOS to 310 which helped and then just lowered the TDP and am able to play elden ring at 2560x1600 at 50-60fps on high without the GPU reaching over 80C. It's an immensely powerful machine that while can't exactly reach it's full limit due to the TDP, even throttled is substantially better than anything on the market in the price range. I mainly went with the new 2022 version because I needed the webcam but considering you can get the 2021 version for $1250 on sale at best buy here on the weekends, it's a steal.
@@xxx9208 Honestly given that the 2021 is on sale frequently for 1250 it's a no brainer. The 2021 is what you should get. The small upgrades aren't worth $400 to me.
@@5RWill I dont know anything about laptop or pc's but isn't there a big difference between rtx 2060 (2021) and the 6700 (2022). These are the only models that are available in my country btw. Edit: i found a rtx 3050 model (2021)
@@xxx9208 I was going to say the 2021 model here has the 3060 in it and to my understanding the 6700 is more or less equal to it depending on the game.
I went with the SCAR 15 instead because of the heat issues all reviewers were noting on the G14 (and I think the M16 as well). I've only had it a few days but it has never become uncomfortable, and the different modes in Armory Crate provide a balance of performance versus letting the system become too hot (I have only seen it hit over 90 once for a moment). ASUS may well have updated things since your review.
I think that's a great choice and is definitely the CPU performance and thermals champ so far this Gen. I think I'm going to run this new blade 17 as my daily but if I didn't I think I would have picked up a scar.
You can disable the turbo mode for the CPU by going in to regedit. Simple fix, it stops it from boosting to max freq. which has made my G15 5900HS idle at almost 20C cooler. Definitely recommend giving it a quick google and disabling the CPU performance boost. Very simple to do and undo as well.
Its a little beast. There are a few glitches that can be sorted but in all fairness Asus should have done that from factory. I have G14 G402 with R9 and 6800 Graphics. Upgraded RAM to 24GB by adding 16GB ram and upgraded to WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD followed by a clean install of win 11 Pro. So much bloatware that comes with Asus is unreal. This is now a different laptop I have. Fast and I did noticed it runs a tad coller for me. Temps are now around 45-55 with light work. Before it was always in 70's.
I dream about this pc 2022 vers since 1 year. Thuersday I finally get it home after an amazon buy. Still very expensive in Europe but so worth the price for the use I have.
so i am currently living in UK and the moment i heard your accent and review this super powerful laptop at your kitchen. It is undeniably for me to click subscribe!!!!
Es de los mejores análisis que he visto en muchos años. Te felicito, compañero, por tan maravillosa forma de analizar una máquina: esa paz, esa voz, ese tempo entre frases, la música relax….BRAVO. Me suscribo a tu canal deseándote mucha suerte en tu vida y mucho ánimo para seguir subiendo vídeos tan elaborados, brillantes y magníficos como este. Un abrazo desde España y de nuevo muchísimas gracias
I'm still waiting on the 6800S version to be released in the US. Do they sell different models in different regions? Cuz at bestbuy I can only find the one with 120Hz 2560x1600 screen. Hopefully this one comes with 16G soldered on as well. Nice review btw
Pretty good review. I have the white model with 16GB of RAM, the 6900HS CPU, and the 6800S graphics. I don't find the heat issues to be anything to be concerned with. Any area I actually touch is fine. The RAM is 8GB soldered in and an 8GB DIMM in the socket. I also have the QHD 2560 X 1600 screen and it's terrific. I run it in the Optimized Hybrid mode and the Performance preset when plugged in and gaming. The CPU will hit 93C but that is normal and acceptable. The GPU runs at least 10 degrees less.
It was too warm for me to game world of warcraft on my lap in my bed. I was worried my testicles would become sterile so I simply put an older laptop below my zephyrus lol
Loved the video dude, so much so that I made my final decision after watching this vid. I'm now loving my g14 and it's the exact model as yours so thank you for the confidence to choose this one. I noticed you had set up a manual mode , would you be able to do a rundown on your profiles? The turbo is just too hot to handle haha . Thanks again 🙂
@@NedimTabakovic hey bud yeah it's an absolutely fantastic laptop, runs AAA games with ease plus the function ability it's brilliant, I'm struggling tho to make the battery last more than 5 hrs but I still have tweeks to work out , I'm sure I can get 9 if I really wanted to . The 14 inch screen is great I had a 15.6 inch before 16:9 ratio and was apprehensive about getting the 14 inch 16:10 but tbh it's IMO alot better , more portable, the bevels small, playing games full screen is awesome with more head room. Downside is it does generate alot of heat but you can set a profile in manual mode like in this video and have the fans on v low and you're grand then. I did extensive research with diff gaming laptops and they all get hot but I feel the G14 is the only one where you can actively combat this yourself instead of relying on the software to do it
This is my backup device if the G15 I'm about to buy goes wrong. Only thing I don't like about this laptop is the graphics card (6700s over here in the US) because of the limitations of an AMD card, have you experienced any problems, including but not limited to, slow performance in productivity apps, driver issues, or unusually bad frames in certain games? I appreciate the review and you have enlightened me on how the thermals could possibly be fixed in the future.
Yeah the thermals are something which can be managed but if Asus did their homework they could make this a better experience. There are plusses and minuses between the AMD and Nvidia GPUs. If you want to stream or screen record, NVIDIA is way better. I've also struggled to get warzone to play without stutters, which I'm hoping is a driver optimisation matter, because the power is there, it runs at 100+ FPS, but micro stutters. The obvious shortcomings are raytracing and FSR isn't as good as DLSS but I expect them to close the gap with FSR 2.0. On the other hand, this AMD package does so much better on low wattage than intel/Nvidia could, so it's a great choice for an ultra portable device like this where you have power limitations. It can hang with the big boys on a tiny power budget. The big question with this device (and if the answer is no, you shouldn't buy it) is; do you really need a device to be this portable? Because if you don't there are similarly priced 15/16" devices which are more powerful and better for most users. Great to have choices!
I've got the cheapest version with the Ryzen 6800 HS and the RX 6700 S. I agree that the screen and the keyboard are great. For me the speakers are just ok (HP and Lenovo have better speakers), but when you are a serious gamer, then you use a very good headset anyway.Yes it gets a bit hot, you dont want to use it on your lap. The only thing that drove me nuts was Windows 11 and the ASUS software. Windows 11 is very hungry for your personal data, and I'm not sure if ASUS is to blame or Win 11, but if you want to install an actual driver, it always gets denied and reverted back to the installed one. After a hour I gave up and installed Garuda Linux. Now I'm not able configure the bling bling, but the games run great thanks to steam, heroic launcher and lutris.
Thank you for sharing! Yeah I really like the speakers but I'm sure there are others with better. I just thought they are great coming from such a tiny machine. In respect of data hungry/bloatware (mcaffee) I'm blaming Asus. I just opened a razer blade 17 and there is none of that!
Hey, this comment was months ago, but I'm browsing videos and thinking of buying the exact same model you mention (6800HS/RX 6700 S) from best buy canada in the next few days, just wondering if you're still using it and enjoying it? It's on sale for 25% off for $1500CDN and I have next to zero knowledge on PC gaming and zero on AMD, as the only PC I built was an Intel in 2012.
@@bmkaya Buy previous year model. Improvements on this year model are very small, only the battery efficiancy is significant improvement over last year. It is still running hot, same temperatures as last year model. If you play something heat combined with sweaty fingers will start to peel your keyboard. Mine started to peel after a month of use. If you don't need portability, don't buy this laptop.
Great video, helped me make an informed decision in 2023. Bought thus at a bargain price. Did you get round to doing the thermal settings videos? My machine comes today and would love to know what settings you used to set it up properly. Keep up the good work.
awesome video man. Good advice on the 10% haircut. I didn't think of doing that when testing mine. And I think the 1080p display is the sweet spot at 14 inches but I don't see that model available here in the US
Hey man, great little review piece. Ive been umming and ahhing about wether upgrading my current G14 2020 (RTX2060) to this years model. Your take on it its quite relevent and the comments around Whattage adjustent or possible software tweaks are welcomed, so many of the other well ruputed channels have a fairly structured approach to the reveiwing but you strike a good point of this new mahcne being highly improved in the most subtle but significant ways...so the question is wait another year for the next model or take the leap? good luck in growing your channel.. you have a knack for it.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm really pleased that you found the vid helpful. Always a tough call in terms of when to upgrade. I look at it differently to others. Some say if you need it, buy it. I don't look at it that way. I just think if you can afford to upgrade and the product is good, go for it. You can get caught in a trap of waiting for the next big thing, and when it arrives, it might cost twice as much! The new G14 is good but it's hot and you have to be willing to deal with that. The 6800s is a huge leap in performance from the 2060mq. The big question is; do you need it to be this portable? Because for similar money you can get a more powerful (and better) device by going from 14" to 15"
@@WarneysWorld Thanks for your response! So portability is a big factor, I need the portability for regular travel but when not travelling the laptop sits at a workstation connected to peripherals and external monitor, my other consideration is the possible upgrade to USB4, to essentially allow thunderbolt style capability....you reckon that will happen?
What you said about cpu in asus laptops is very true.It boosts it to the highest power possible and the gpu cant get enough power (its max limit) and the device runs hot because of the cpu.
Hey great video! Now that you have the M16, What would you say is better for school? (And gaming obviously) I like the fact that the m16 for the same price has better performance than the g14. Plus there deals in Best Buy and can get an M16 2021 with the 3060 and i9 for 1500$, which is a steal considering that the 2022 version only changed the Cpu. But do you think the size is too much for carrying it arround? The 16’ screen makes the laptop huge (but it is still thin). Is the M16 a lot bigger than the g14?
I would recommend the M16. It's not as big as you'd think and once it's in a bag, it doesn't feel significantly heavier to me. It is a plastic build with metal lid (still extremely well built) but this keeps it light. I like it.
Im on the fence between the 6700s g14 and last years m16 with 3060 too, which do you prefer? I mostly game so the 6gb vram in the m16 at qhd+ is a little iffy not to mention lack of mux and 100w 3060(so it probably performs similar to g14
Also then again best buy m16 2022 base model gets you ddr 5, 120w 3060(vs 100w last year), and a mux swtich for only 100 more than last years(even at sale price)
@@ultimategohan1551 the M16 2022 is probably the better bet. I'm a bit on the fence about the M16 at the moment. It does a lot of things really well - keyboard, build, screen, speakers - but it's loud and still quite hot. Like I can deal with a laptop being loud if it's pushing high wattage and running cool, but it kinda isn't. Review coming soon.
@@ultimategohan1551 There are little benchmarks of the rx6700s, but for what I’ve seen, it is equal to the performance of a 3060. Considering that 3060 on the m16 is not full powered, I think the rx6700s should be a little bit better in games. There are obvioulsy games who favour nvidia and other who favour AMD. Not to mention that the m16 has dlss support which is more popular, but FSR is being seen more in games. The rx6800s perfoms like a high powered 3070, so I think the rx6700s should perform like a high powered 3060 or a little worse. But as it is only 100w on the M16, the rx6700s should have the advantage. The thing is the benchmarks reviewers do on the Amd card are sometimes different, so it might say that it is like low powered 3070 or high powered 3060, or it is like a low powered 3060. There is a video where someone compares the 3060 on the g14 2021 to the rx6700s and it crashes the 2021 model. So I expect to be just as s high powered 3060. So I would choose the g14. Also the M16 has terrible battery life with 11th gen intel, whereas the 6000 series from Amd is very power efficient. Then with the 2022 model on best buy, the drawback I see on this is it has a fhd+ on a 16 inch display, which can be a little pixely (as I heard) but I don’t think it is a problem. Then there is the size, where you decide if you like the g14’s portability, or the m16 bigger screen for games. As a laptop for carrying around, the g14 definetly, but for gaming and moving once in awhile, it is a tough choice.
A very nice and informative review, thanks! I've been keeping my eye on this model for a while now (and the last year's too). I primarily want this laptop for programming/photoshop work with minor gaming from time to time, so portability is what I'm after the most. At the moment I have a 17inch laptop (also an asus, but from the Tuff series). It's pretty heavy and big, so it's difficult to carry around much. I've been also looking between the G14 and G15 - which , in your opinion, one is better in terms of both portability and thermals? Counting that the specs, practically, are similar (excluding the bigger size on G15). I heard that the display on G14 is better, though
@@10lilzoe in the end I decided to take another asus, just not on amd. Lately there appear a lot of info with problems with laptops on amd. So I thought on passing this one
If you want performance Alienware with the new Intel's CPUs have more performance but for protability the G14 with its real 7hrs of battery it's perfect. You have to see what is the most important for you
Got this for college (im majoring in Mech Engineering). Should be plenty for low-medium scale cad projects. What exact settings did you apply to get thermals under control?
Planning to do the same but stuck between the new g14 and m16, on one hand, thermals, and on the other, battery life, leaning more towards the g14, idk. Also gonna use it for mechanical eng.
I'm trying to decide if I should go with the 6700s version or the Alienware m15 r7. World's apart I know, (I'm getting the for similar prices) but there are many factors to consider.... Size, gpu/cpu power, power bricks... Are the advantages worth the size difference?
I'm so torn. I have the OG G14 and have experienced all of the heat & fans (and battery loss) that's being described. It just seems that for no reason, the fans will spool up and the machine is just sitting on idle. Makes me nervous that I will just have the the same experience with the new model. It's "cheap as chips" right now with a price of $1,099 at Best Buy during the Xmas shopping season.
There's this software called G14 control and another called atrofac that do a much better job of customizing performance and fan noise. atrofaq also works with the X13 to get rid of the horrible fan noise at low loads.
Great review other videos is just a numbers and all things what normal person as me doesnt understand i just want to know if its good for gaming and if the heat can be sort by some settings, i dont need benchmarks and all the crazy tech specs and i seen tons of reviews but your is nice calm and simple thanks .. subscribed
So can you buy a zephyrus g14 with just the one soldered stick of ram? I assumed they already included the 2nd stick of ram for each model but maybe thats just what best buy offers. I was thinking of getting the 2022 version with 120hz and RX 6700s but with 16 GB of ram soldered and an empty slot I’m just not sure if they offer that.
Hows the grey colour holding up? I've heard about issues of peeling. Also, does it feel like it has some kind of coating on the keyboard deck, which gives it a matte feeling?
I want to buy this laptop but my main concern is the screen resolution. Is 1920x1200 good enough for the price? Zephyrus M16 512 gb version is my other option but I prefer G14 fot its smaller dimensions? How big is M16 compared to this G14? I would Appreciate any response. Thanks
I thought the screen was a good match! For me, I didn't feel like the M16 was any more difficult to carry than the G14. It's a little heavier, but in my bag, I don't feel the difference. I think the g15 might be a good pick too, as it is the same size as the M16 but has a similar build to the G14 (plus Ryzen efficiency, battery life, etc). Might be worth a look.
How well does the screen preform outside. I'm worried the lesser brightness on the HD display vs the 500nits on the QHD will be noticeable! what do you think?
could you please run some benchmarks on it, and fps tests on other games such as warzone and overwatch. im planning to buy this exact model but im unsure if it can handle some games / other video editing software's. other than that great vid man
My unit had to go back (long story) but this device struggled with warzone. Don't buy it if that's what you want to play. Great framerate but terrible stutters. They might fix it with driver updates but it was literally the one game that didn't perform like it should
Can you share your Full Settings in Armory Crate? In your "Office Profile" you set APU sPPT to 25,8 and Plattform sPPT to 105 W. Are that realy your "Office Settings"? What are youre gaming settings then?
as an old time gamer,heat and fan noise is all i care for.i use the zephyrus gx531 which is still amazing,silent and no heat,so all i want to know is how hot does he get and can u tamper silent mode like nvidia do?
I cannot find the 6800s with a 1080x1200 display. Looks like they didn’t make that one too long or something unfortunately. 14” display I wouldn’t think you’d get a huge benifit going up at 2560x1600. Waist of FPS to go up to that high on a 14”
I run my games on my M16 at balanced mode and turned the maximum process state down to like 98% and my cpu temps never get over 70 degrees now cause my cpu load isnt going at max compacity lol.
In USA the 1200p model isn’t available. I got the QHD rx 6700s model for $1650. Performance between the 6700s and 6800s seems pretty close so I think I got a good deal.
@@WarneysWorld pretty nice. The gpu is good enough to get 60 fps at high/ultra settings in every game i’ve tried. I wouldve got the cheaper 1200p model but it would probably be months until it’d available in the states. The only time i’ve seen it struggle was at 4k (using Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga and Zelda BOTW on cemu emulator). It was still an enjoyable experience at 45-50 fps on our 4k tv. Once amd enables RSR for laptop gpus im going to try that at 4k.
It is safe for it to reach those temps, right? I played call of the wild at 2K maxed out settings (no upscaling) and this beast was giving 43 fps on avg, but was running like a jet engine haha (I bought the 2022 all-amd version)

holy shit never in my life have I gained peace and tranquility by watching a laptop review till I saw this
Haha, someone told me I slowed down time the other day. I’m not sure if it was a compliment or not 😂😂😂
LOL!
I honestly have to say I loved the Video, especially the portrayed calmness, unlike many other reviews. Just wanted to tell you that, keep it up!
Really appreciate your comment. Still learning the ropes! Haha
your reviews are just... different, and unique, i love every aspect you cover, it really emerses us into the review and the laptopos feel and experience, i hope you get more recognition warney! i really enjoy the minecraft background music haha, more review youtubers need to chill with the editing and take it a step back like you. URE AWESOME!
Thank you so much! Hopefully will get to review more stuff soon 👍🏻
Bro - thanks for the review. I purchased the 6700 white system here in the US yesterday. I’m torn on it! Want to love it so much. It the change from NVIDIA to AMD GPUs is tough.
I’m in the same boat with switching from Nvidia to this 6700S/6800S. I really haven’t seen any reviews putting this head to head with the new 2022 Razer Blade 14, 6900HX w/ 3070ti. Curious on the performance, heat, and battery differences between the two. I’m guessing the $700 difference in price will steer many away from Razer 14.
I'm trying to get hold of one. The thing about the blade 14 that once you've seen you'll never unsee is the chin under the screen. For some reason it looks extra silly on a smaller device!
Steven, I'm interested to hear how you get on with the 6700s. I'm actually enjoying the GPU so far. Plusses and minuses versus Nvidia for sure though 👍🏻
@@WarneysWorld according to online benchmarks the 6700s gets 8500 in timepsy. In games the performance between 6800s and 6700s seems pretty close.
@@t.b1456 yeah I'd seen that too. Would be interested to get hold of one
I got this for college and I’m majoring in computer information systems which works in IT. I also am a computer engineer and work with cad operating systems as well. So this is perfect for me.
Are the fan noises loud? And is the battery good for college?
@@yotr9299 the battery is very good! I like it a lot you have to charge it every now and then and it won’t last as long as a Mac laptop pro or whatever but I like the windows os anyways so I I’m fine with what I got. When you start it up it makes a loud sound with the Asus symbol coming up lol but other than that it’s great would totally recommend!
I opted to go without the animatrix lighting on the lid [Though I admit they are damned cool and I might go for it when I replace it in a few years if they are still doing it.] But I went for the more powerful 6900HS APU and Less powerful 6700S GPU. I keep it in Optimized mode, to disable the discrete GPU to save battery life, The graphics capabilities of the 6900HS on it's own are respectable if I still want to game a bit away from an outlet. And the overall performance difference between the 6700S and 6800S is fairly negligible.
I prefer smaller laptops, Asus delivered a real winner with the G14 series this year. Nothing can compete with it at this size class, and still keep the same build quality, and performance. Razer Blade 14 can come in a beastly configuration, but at an extreme premium cost that just doesn't feel worth it, even next to the already slightly increased cost of this years G14's.
My only complaint is the keyboard lighting is a little dim, and it's single zone. If we could have gotten per key lighting on top of everything else offered to the G14, I would have no complaints.
That's a very fair and informed assessment. Glad you like it so far! I think most people will find their own preferred way to tame the thermals.
The thing that bugs me with the razer blade 14 is the display aspect ratio. I have no issue with 16:9 displays, I may even prefer them for gaming, but I just think the thick bottom bezel looks horrible on the blade 14. I have a blade 17 on my desk and I think it looks great. Something about the blade 14's smaller form factor just lends itself to the 16:10 for me I think.
@@WarneysWorld yea, the smaller form factor really benefits from the 16:10, that little extra screen space makes productivity apps more comfortable to work in as well.
As for taming the thermals, I do about the same as you, just dial it back a bit on the power, and run games on slightly lower settings. It’s a 14 inch screen, I don’t need to be playing on “Ultra max pro melt your face” settings. That’s what the desktop is for!
I love that you can limit the tdp for when your not doing anything demanding and just get bonkers battery life out of it.
I bought the 2021 g14 rtx 3060 and returned it 4 days, build quality is TRASH. the screen bends easy, the chasis was warped, and it got hot at idle
@@lilomar214tx I’ve zero experience with the 2021 model. 2022 however has been great for me. After some tuning it really only gets hot if I’m gaming. The vapor chamber works great, at almost immediately bringing the temperatures back down after a gaming sessions too.
The graphics on the 7 are the same and theyre not APUs btw they're CPUs with integrated graphics there is a difference. The APUs AMD makes come with marketed GPU designs on the chip such as 660m or 680m inside the 6600U and 6800U. I don't get why you'd choose a better CPU over GPU in a gaming laptop, there is no point to more cores vs the r5/i5 and the R7 and R9 have the same amount of cores with negligible clock difference. Almost the same chip.
Amazing vid as always! Very high quality and love that its 4K
Keep it up!
Thanks Aziz! I tried really hard with this one!
Honestly, you are gifted. That is simply what any one needs to know about a laptop with a crucial advice for users.
Well done.
Thank you. This means a lot 🙏
Very honest and thouroughly review, one thing to point out here though, it's not recommended to game on 100W usb type c PD because it will constantly charge and discharge your battery due to gpu and cpu needed extra power hence it will likely to damage it your battery in the long term
I love how you casually play Doom with this relaxing music on the background 😭
Yep - playing Minecraft with Doom slayer music in the background is equally fun!
I went with the 6900hs/6700 model. It's indeed a little too hot to handle with it's out of the box configuration. Having said that updated BIOS to 310 which helped and then just lowered the TDP and am able to play elden ring at 2560x1600 at 50-60fps on high without the GPU reaching over 80C. It's an immensely powerful machine that while can't exactly reach it's full limit due to the TDP, even throttled is substantially better than anything on the market in the price range. I mainly went with the new 2022 version because I needed the webcam but considering you can get the 2021 version for $1250 on sale at best buy here on the weekends, it's a steal.
i dont need the webcam. should i still go for 2022 version or the 2021?
@@xxx9208 Honestly given that the 2021 is on sale frequently for 1250 it's a no brainer. The 2021 is what you should get. The small upgrades aren't worth $400 to me.

Edit: i found a rtx 3050 model (2021)
@@xxx9208 I was going to say the 2021 model here has the 3060 in it and to my understanding the 6700 is more or less equal to it depending on the game.
Damn. 60fps at 1600 for elden ring? How’s the battery life if you watch videos most of a free day.
I went with the SCAR 15 instead because of the heat issues all reviewers were noting on the G14 (and I think the M16 as well). I've only had it a few days but it has never become uncomfortable, and the different modes in Armory Crate provide a balance of performance versus letting the system become too hot (I have only seen it hit over 90 once for a moment). ASUS may well have updated things since your review.
I think that's a great choice and is definitely the CPU performance and thermals champ so far this Gen. I think I'm going to run this new blade 17 as my daily but if I didn't I think I would have picked up a scar.
You can disable the turbo mode for the CPU by going in to regedit. Simple fix, it stops it from boosting to max freq. which has made my G15 5900HS idle at almost 20C cooler. Definitely recommend giving it a quick google and disabling the CPU performance boost. Very simple to do and undo as well.
No need to mess with regedit. Asus has a program installed to do just that. Disabling boost mode.
@@gerboog could you please specify and guide me on how to do that?
@@br17esh it's called Armoury Crate on this laptop... It's pretty simple just open it and you will see all the options.
@@gerboog wait you don't even know then. how are you going to offer advice when you don't even know what the app is called?
Its a little beast. There are a few glitches that can be sorted but in all fairness Asus should have done that from factory. I have G14 G402 with R9 and 6800 Graphics. Upgraded RAM to 24GB by adding 16GB ram and upgraded to WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD followed by a clean install of win 11 Pro. So much bloatware that comes with Asus is unreal. This is now a different laptop I have. Fast and I did noticed it runs a tad coller for me. Temps are now around 45-55 with light work. Before it was always in 70's.

I'm still waiting on the 6800S version to be released in the US. Do they sell different models in different regions? Cuz at bestbuy I can only find the one with 120Hz 2560x1600 screen. Hopefully this one comes with 16G soldered on as well. Nice review btw
Yeah it seems that way. The 144hz models not listed on the USA Asus site.
Pretty good review. I have the white model with 16GB of RAM, the 6900HS CPU, and the 6800S graphics. I don't find the heat issues to be anything to be concerned with. Any area I actually touch is fine. The RAM is 8GB soldered in and an 8GB DIMM in the socket. I also have the QHD 2560 X 1600 screen and it's terrific. I run it in the Optimized Hybrid mode and the Performance preset when plugged in and gaming. The CPU will hit 93C but that is normal and acceptable. The GPU runs at least 10 degrees less.
Yeah I think the temps are ok, but some people won't be happy with it.
It was too warm for me to game world of warcraft on my lap in my bed. I was worried my testicles would become sterile so I simply put an older laptop below my zephyrus lol

Loved the video dude, so much so that I made my final decision after watching this vid. I'm now loving my g14 and it's the exact model as yours so thank you for the confidence to choose this one.
I noticed you had set up a manual mode , would you be able to do a rundown on your profiles? The turbo is just too hot to handle haha .
Thanks again 🙂
Hey is there any negativity you could point out 👀 are you ok with 14” this looks like tech masterpiece 💻
@@NedimTabakovic hey bud yeah it's an absolutely fantastic laptop, runs AAA games with ease plus the function ability it's brilliant, I'm struggling tho to make the battery last more than 5 hrs but I still have tweeks to work out , I'm sure I can get 9 if I really wanted to .
The 14 inch screen is great I had a 15.6 inch before 16:9 ratio and was apprehensive about getting the 14 inch 16:10 but tbh it's IMO alot better , more portable, the bevels small, playing games full screen is awesome with more head room.
Downside is it does generate alot of heat but you can set a profile in manual mode like in this video and have the fans on v low and you're grand then.
I did extensive research with diff gaming laptops and they all get hot but I feel the G14 is the only one where you can actively combat this yourself instead of relying on the software to do it
This was a fantastic review. Thank you ❤️
Thank you 🙏
Great review, you have a very soothing voice.
This is my backup device if the G15 I'm about to buy goes wrong. Only thing I don't like about this laptop is the graphics card (6700s over here in the US) because of the limitations of an AMD card, have you experienced any problems, including but not limited to, slow performance in productivity apps, driver issues, or unusually bad frames in certain games? I appreciate the review and you have enlightened me on how the thermals could possibly be fixed in the future.
Yeah the thermals are something which can be managed but if Asus did their homework they could make this a better experience. There are plusses and minuses between the AMD and Nvidia GPUs. If you want to stream or screen record, NVIDIA is way better. I've also struggled to get warzone to play without stutters, which I'm hoping is a driver optimisation matter, because the power is there, it runs at 100+ FPS, but micro stutters. The obvious shortcomings are raytracing and FSR isn't as good as DLSS but I expect them to close the gap with FSR 2.0. On the other hand, this AMD package does so much better on low wattage than intel/Nvidia could, so it's a great choice for an ultra portable device like this where you have power limitations. It can hang with the big boys on a tiny power budget.
The big question with this device (and if the answer is no, you shouldn't buy it) is; do you really need a device to be this portable? Because if you don't there are similarly priced 15/16" devices which are more powerful and better for most users. Great to have choices!
It does have a print screen button...Fn + F6
Can't wait to go to the UK! Bringing this exact laptop!
Dude what happened you stopped uploading I just got to know you in this video you did a fantastic job man
I've got the cheapest version with the Ryzen 6800 HS and the RX 6700 S.
I agree that the screen and the keyboard are great. For me the speakers are just ok (HP and Lenovo have better speakers), but when you are a serious gamer, then you use a very good headset anyway.Yes it gets a bit hot, you dont want to use it on your lap. The only thing that drove me nuts was Windows 11 and the ASUS software. Windows 11 is very hungry for your personal data, and I'm not sure if ASUS is to blame or Win 11, but if you want to install an actual driver, it always gets denied and reverted back to the installed one.
After a hour I gave up and installed Garuda Linux. Now I'm not able configure the bling bling, but the games run great thanks to steam, heroic launcher and lutris.
Thank you for sharing! Yeah I really like the speakers but I'm sure there are others with better. I just thought they are great coming from such a tiny machine.
In respect of data hungry/bloatware (mcaffee) I'm blaming Asus. I just opened a razer blade 17 and there is none of that!

Hey man, great little review piece. Ive been umming and ahhing about wether upgrading my current G14 2020 (RTX2060) to this years model. Your take on it its quite relevent and the comments around Whattage adjustent or possible software tweaks are welcomed, so many of the other well ruputed channels have a fairly structured approach to the reveiwing but you strike a good point of this new mahcne being highly improved in the most subtle but significant ways...so the question is wait another year for the next model or take the leap? good luck in growing your channel.. you have a knack for it.
Thank you for the feedback. I'm really pleased that you found the vid helpful.
Always a tough call in terms of when to upgrade. I look at it differently to others. Some say if you need it, buy it. I don't look at it that way. I just think if you can afford to upgrade and the product is good, go for it. You can get caught in a trap of waiting for the next big thing, and when it arrives, it might cost twice as much!
The new G14 is good but it's hot and you have to be willing to deal with that. The 6800s is a huge leap in performance from the 2060mq. The big question is; do you need it to be this portable? Because for similar money you can get a more powerful (and better) device by going from 14" to 15"
@@WarneysWorld Thanks for your response!
So portability is a big factor, I need the portability for regular travel but when not travelling the laptop sits at a workstation connected to peripherals and external monitor, my other consideration is the possible upgrade to USB4, to essentially allow thunderbolt style capability....you reckon that will happen?
What you said about cpu in asus laptops is very true.It boosts it to the highest power possible and the gpu cant get enough power (its max limit) and the device runs hot because of the cpu.
Yeah I think they could improve it 👍🏻

One of the best fully AMD laptop of the year.
Hey great video! Now that you have the M16, What would you say is better for school? (And gaming obviously) I like the fact that the m16 for the same price has better performance than the g14. Plus there deals in Best Buy and can get an M16 2021 with the 3060 and i9 for 1500$, which is a steal considering that the 2022 version only changed the Cpu. But do you think the size is too much for carrying it arround? The 16’ screen makes the laptop huge (but it is still thin). Is the M16 a lot bigger than the g14?
I would recommend the M16. It's not as big as you'd think and once it's in a bag, it doesn't feel significantly heavier to me. It is a plastic build with metal lid (still extremely well built) but this keeps it light. I like it.
Im on the fence between the 6700s g14 and last years m16 with 3060 too, which do you prefer? I mostly game so the 6gb vram in the m16 at qhd+ is a little iffy not to mention lack of mux and 100w 3060(so it probably performs similar to g14
Also then again best buy m16 2022 base model gets you ddr 5, 120w 3060(vs 100w last year), and a mux swtich for only 100 more than last years(even at sale price)
@@ultimategohan1551 the M16 2022 is probably the better bet. I'm a bit on the fence about the M16 at the moment. It does a lot of things really well - keyboard, build, screen, speakers - but it's loud and still quite hot. Like I can deal with a laptop being loud if it's pushing high wattage and running cool, but it kinda isn't. Review coming soon.
@@ultimategohan1551 There are little benchmarks of the rx6700s, but for what I’ve seen, it is equal to the performance of a 3060. Considering that 3060 on the m16 is not full powered, I think the rx6700s should be a little bit better in games. There are obvioulsy games who favour nvidia and other who favour AMD. Not to mention that the m16 has dlss support which is more popular, but FSR is being seen more in games. The rx6800s perfoms like a high powered 3070, so I think the rx6700s should perform like a high powered 3060 or a little worse. But as it is only 100w on the M16, the rx6700s should have the advantage. The thing is the benchmarks reviewers do on the Amd card are sometimes different, so it might say that it is like low powered 3070 or high powered 3060, or it is like a low powered 3060. There is a video where someone compares the 3060 on the g14 2021 to the rx6700s and it crashes the 2021 model. So I expect to be just as s high powered 3060. So I would choose the g14. Also the M16 has terrible battery life with 11th gen intel, whereas the 6000 series from Amd is very power efficient. Then with the 2022 model on best buy, the drawback I see on this is it has a fhd+ on a 16 inch display, which can be a little pixely (as I heard) but I don’t think it is a problem. Then there is the size, where you decide if you like the g14’s portability, or the m16 bigger screen for games. As a laptop for carrying around, the g14 definetly, but for gaming and moving once in awhile, it is a tough choice.
so does the 6800s come with the usb-c charger or is it only the anime matrix version that does?
A very nice and informative review, thanks!
I've been keeping my eye on this model for a while now (and the last year's too). I primarily want this laptop for programming/photoshop work with minor gaming from time to time, so portability is what I'm after the most. At the moment I have a 17inch laptop (also an asus, but from the Tuff series). It's pretty heavy and big, so it's difficult to carry around much.
I've been also looking between the G14 and G15 - which , in your opinion, one is better in terms of both portability and thermals? Counting that the specs, practically, are similar (excluding the bigger size on G15). I heard that the display on G14 is better, though

So can you buy a zephyrus g14 with just the one soldered stick of ram? I assumed they already included the 2nd stick of ram for each model but maybe thats just what best buy offers.

I want to buy this laptop but my main concern is the screen resolution. Is 1920x1200 good enough for the price?
Zephyrus M16 512 gb version is my other option but I prefer G14 fot its smaller dimensions? How big is M16 compared to this G14? I would Appreciate any response. Thanks
I thought the screen was a good match! For me, I didn't feel like the M16 was any more difficult to carry than the G14. It's a little heavier, but in my bag, I don't feel the difference. I think the g15 might be a good pick too, as it is the same size as the M16 but has a similar build to the G14 (plus Ryzen efficiency, battery life, etc). Might be worth a look.
Thanks for replying. I went to the nearest official store in order to phisically look the difference. Unfortunately both of them still unavailable.

hey bro!!
how does it handle now?
for like cod ?
or any AAA games with high setting?
How well does the screen preform outside. I'm worried the lesser brightness on the HD display vs the 500nits on the QHD will be noticeable! what do you think?
could you please run some benchmarks on it, and fps tests on other games such as warzone and overwatch. im planning to buy this exact model but im unsure if it can handle some games / other video editing software's. other than that great vid man
My unit had to go back (long story) but this device struggled with warzone. Don't buy it if that's what you want to play. Great framerate but terrible stutters. They might fix it with driver updates but it was literally the one game that didn't perform like it should
I found this model online, but I can’t manage to find the black color? Can you link where you bought yours from thank you!
Hey, I was just wondering where you bought this. I can't find grey anywhere.
@@smithy8856 thanks
@@smithy8856 will Amazon report me to IRS if I buy an Amazon gift card with crypto currency to get this laptop?
Where did you get this? BestBuy only has the white version here in the US.
It's available in the UK from Amazon, scan and box.co.uk
Can you share your Full Settings in Armory Crate? In your "Office Profile" you set APU sPPT to 25,8 and Plattform sPPT to 105 W. Are that realy your "Office Settings"? What are youre gaming settings then?
as an old time gamer,heat and fan noise is all i care for.i use the zephyrus gx531 which is still amazing,silent and no heat,so all i want to know is how hot does he get and can u tamper silent mode like nvidia do?
You sure that's the correct model number? The model number you said in the comments below is for the 6700S version
How do you get a hold of all of these new laptops being a small youtuber?
Any plans on reviewing any of the 2023 models?
Lol your review is unique..and quite informative. thanks
Thanks - I was trying to make it sound like a documentary about the solar system haha
Just sold my g17 2021, and waiting for these g14 2022
I cannot find the 6800s with a 1080x1200 display. Looks like they didn’t make that one too long or something unfortunately. 14” display I wouldn’t think you’d get a huge benifit going up at 2560x1600. Waist of FPS to go up to that high on a 14”
I run my games on my M16 at balanced mode and turned the maximum process state down to like 98% and my cpu temps never get over 70 degrees now cause my cpu load isnt going at max compacity lol.
Where did you purchase this? I'd like the black anime matrix version but Best Buy only has white & no anime matrix
It's widely available in the UK and, I believe, Canada. Weird that they don't sell it in the US
Is it worth getting in 2024 for £1299 brand new with 6800s and ryzen 9-6900HS?
Just bought one brand new for $699, same specs
@@arturogutierrez751 nice bro thats crazy here in the uk from amazon it still costs £1299
Came for the laptop review stayed for the minecraft music 💙✌️
just make sure not to get copyrighted haha
In USA the 1200p model isn’t available. I got the QHD rx 6700s model for $1650. Performance between the 6700s and 6800s seems pretty close so I think I got a good deal.
Sounds good to me! How is the display?
@@WarneysWorld pretty nice. The gpu is good enough to get 60 fps at high/ultra settings in every game i’ve tried. I wouldve got the cheaper 1200p model but it would probably be months until it’d available in the states. The only time i’ve seen it struggle was at 4k (using Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga and Zelda BOTW on cemu emulator). It was still an enjoyable experience at 45-50 fps on our 4k tv. Once amd enables RSR for laptop gpus im going to try that at 4k.
It is safe for it to reach those temps, right? I played call of the wild at 2K maxed out settings (no upscaling) and this beast was giving 43 fps on avg, but was running like a jet engine haha (I bought the 2022 all-amd version)
It is - I think the AMD safe operating temp for the cpu is 105C. Just unpleasant!
hi how about the 100W PD charger thingy? does it pull energy from the battery when on USB-C charger or it runs on mains?
Hey I'm sorry I'm late to this but can you tell me how are the fps on Minecraft with shaders on this device? Thank you it would really help
Music and speech felt me like watching wildlife National Geographic channel 😁😄
Haha I'd love that gig 🦁
Is 3060 rtx worth buying?

cause u hv tried all of this type laptops I guess, which one u prefer to me, with the consideration: heat, clouds, etc. Dont care about the price!!
I think they are all very good, but if I had to choose it would be the g15. The 3070ti is a monster. I'd take it over the other two.
which would u recomend the Legion 5 Pro or this model
I’d get the legion 5 pro UNLESS you need something small 👍🏻
@@WarneysWorld ok, thank u. One more question tho, which screen do u prefer too. I just wanna make sure ik which ond is better before i spend the money
@@clark1938 they both have excellent displays. The 1600p screen on the 5pro is extremely good
@@WarneysWorld ok thank u very much
I thought this laptop is QHD only? -- i haven't see a 1080 version
