- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- My review of the Asus Zephyrus G14 GA401 with the AMD Ryzen 6900HS and Radeon RX 6800S. This is the best gaming laptop Asus makes in the 14" form factor. And is WAY faster than the previous version.
Pricing TBD

with great power, comes great r̶e̶s̶p̶o̶n̶s̶i̶b̶i̶l̶i̶t̶y̶ heat
Was just about to comment this
Heater anyone?
Technology gives me Spider-tingle
you missed a big important point that people wanted to see and that is how the new rdna igpu inside the 6800hs compared to the vega ipgu in the 5900HS.
You beat me to it :/ also, any updates on the Zephyrus Duo 2022? (:
For the Ergo-Lift hinge, I had an Asus who's screen used to get insanely hot after long gaming sessions and I used it for over two years and saw no visible issues with it. I think the screens themselves have a thick layer on top of them which dissipates the heat and protects the screen, but it is safe to say that the heat won't damage the screen.
Ok
@Sky Gardener that would disrupt the air flow. What you want is a fan cooling that works like air conditioner
@Sky Gardener
A laptop cooling fan that blows down would just make the laptop hotter. You want the cooling fan to blow up since laptops suck air in from the bottom.
@Ebi Tha' Genius You would be suprised on what gets through QC.. they can't always do accurate long term testing.
@Ebi Tha' Genius omg 9 years later comes up a guy with the "note 7" hahahaha my friend that wasnt samsungs fault, the battery fabric sold them the bateries with wrong size.
Are you in a bunker?
protection from u bro
this is the first premium, compelling AMD laptop I've seen. It looks like a phenomenal package. great review.

It's great to see this laptop getting some love. I bought the 2020 G14 because of your review and it's still going strong. Only drawback is the lack of webcam, but I bought myself a budget external webcam that gets the job done.
Hey Dave! I think it would be super cool if you also have recorded noise alongside this thermal picture for different tasks. For example, noise level while just browsing, noise level while playing a non-heavy game, and the last one while playing some heavy game with highest playable settings.
It would really help to understand what to expect in terms of noise.
When I got 2020 G14 I was kinda disappointed, because it is unexpectedly very noisy in non-heavy games even with the lowest settings, that was not the case with my older laptop.
I love my 2021 Zephyrus G14, but there are so many improvements (especially that screen!), that I may be tempted to upgrade, despite the fact that the 21 model was the first upgrade to a laptop that I've had in over 15 years. That said, I got it on sale when it was $1200. I hope this year's will be as reasonable. Having tech update this fast is actually a great problem to have!
@Gerardo Gonzalez 5900HS/3060 (the 6900HS is the CPU in the new 2022 version), but "hot af" is a totally apt description 🤣 Otherwise, it rocks!
Can't believe how much they upgraded their laptops in just 1 year
They have really upgraded the price also 🤑🤑
@@huzcer nah it's going for 1500 which is the same price as last year
@@nightwing8666 Price has gone up every year and is significantly more now for the entry model compared to the first year of release. "The latest 2022 Asus Zephyrus G14 starts at $1,649 on its AMD Ryzen 9 / RX 6700S configuration, with a high-end RX 6800S model for $2,499 also available." "The updated 2021 G14 (starts at $1,549.99) uses the same design, but pumps things up to RTX 30-Series and newer Ryzen 5000 chips." There was a 2020 model (less powerful yes) for $1049
@@TylerKhan I could get it now for 1100$ but thinking of waiting for a better laptop in the next half year or so. I'm patient, what do you think?
@@muathk100 if you have the money to spend more. I’d say wait. But if you want to save money and get more than your moneys worth. You should get it for $1100. I wouldn’t be worried about thermals either. You can click the cpu down to 22 watts and barely lose performance. There’s some UA-camrs that show off their custom formats of the CPU and GPU. I play Tarkov (which is poorly optimized) with over 100fps at 1080p. Cpu and gpu temps don’t go past 75
It would've been nice to see gaming battery life testing using just the new iGPU. It's fast enough to play today's games at 1080p medium 30-60 fps which is good for short sweet gaming sessions away from the wall. *Especially* with DOOM Eternal!
I believe it would be able to game for crazy long period with the igpu mode on (disabling the 6800m) somewhere about 5-6hrs of gaming!
@@FeverDev64 More like 4 to 5
The hp envy amd 5th gen lasts 3-4 hours with igpu gaming
Even better than that. I have the previous model and it can do that in spades already
@Bummer
Not a rare scenario at all for such a small laptop. This thing is made to be portable, if youre gonna be at a wall all the time then might as well get a bigger more powerful 17” laptop.
That 6800s is so good . It has same power as a 3070. That's incredible considering how small this chassis is.
I bought my 2020 g14 because of you and Im incredibly happy with my choice. The lack of the webcam has bugged me but i figured out how to use my samsung s20 camera through wifi so its actually a better upgrade. This thing gets hot and I cant imagine having the new one on my lap lol. Thanks again for the review. Always get great input from your videos.
Loved this review thanks dave. More thorough than your other stuff which I appreciate
1:26 I expected Dave to say “great responsibility” so badly
Thank you Dave...I love the way you inform people...very well done!
Ordered one for myself getting on 2nd aug yay ! Thanx for detailed review very helpful
3:40 That R680M integrated APU is pretty darn respectable on its own right - hitting nearly 30fps on Cyberpunk at 1080p medium! Just a few short years ago who would have thought this were possible? This R9 6900HS would shine on workstation devices without discrete GPUs.
Loving these smaller laptops! Reminds me of my old Alienware 13. Good times
which gpu did you have?
@@DemeDemetre may be gtx1060
Alienware stuff are not really small innit
My 13 was great! Then the GPU overheated lol. So non-functional GPU but CPU performance still flies
@@nikilragav it overheated so badly it stopped working??
Thanks for the video! Would love to see a 2022 M16 review soon!
I was *so* waiting for this review. I might go with this or maybe the g15. I was really excited about the webcam, but kind of wish they kept the fingerprint sensor. The 14 checks most of the boxes and will probably be my best bet for a portable productivity/performance ganing laptop but I'm still a bit hesitant.
I have the 2020 G14 (4900HS) and the fingerprint sensor rarely works. Windows Hello through my Logitech Brio is way more reliable.
Fair enough. As long as I can auto sign in with apps, I'd be happy. Though it would have been nice if they had a reliable fingerprint sensor, with wearing masks and all. At least they got rid of something everybody knows wasn't working.
Trust me, you don’t know how long I’ve waited for this review. How many times I’ve searched to see if you or anyone else had posted it.
Man, I can finally sit back and watch.

Hey Dave! That dust filter for the intake fans looks quite restrictive. Any chance you'd be able to remove them and re-do thermal testing? I have a strong feeling that it will make a marked difference in overall load temperatures.
Ya the mesh is pretty dense. I’ll look into it
@@Dave2D Man! the m16 has rtx 3080ti 120w, i9 12900h, 165hz, same power supply and thunderbolt 4 also, and only 180 gramms heavier. I don't see much point to go with this. Other than dimensions. Maybe it performs better on battery and longer because of AMD system.?? What do you think?
@@Dave2D Awesome. Thank you so much for the reply!
@@k.o.t.o.n. pretty sure the M16 is also much more expensive (we don't know the price of 2022 G14 yet, but judging from last year's version I think it's safe to assume the same price gap this year)
@@k.o.t.o.n. Price and the difference in dimensions really is enough to take it from 'take it most places' to 'have to think about taking it'.
Thanks for the review. Looking to buy my first laptop this year, and considering this one, so I appreciate the information a lot :)
Appreciate the details and hands on approach. Good honest review 👍
Those worried for the display heating up, Asus has designed rear exhaust vent heat sink in such a way that only a small volume flows out of it, most of the hot air is exhausted out of the side vents.
Hey Dave, could you do a battery life & IGPU comparison between 2021 vs 2022 G14 for similar workloads. There's literally nothing else to compare between the 2.
How less is the wattage for 6nm TSMC compared to previous year's 7nm.
I believe 2022 version looked better wrt the exhaust grills on the back & with the Magnesium silver deck.
4:36 As a fellow winter climate resider, that heat exhaust just helps keeping the liquid crystals more fluid if you game outdoors 😁🥶
Thank you so much for this reviuw, I had wait so long I have to do many efforts to buy the Asus zephyrus g14 !! Thank youuuu
Straight to the point from the first second... No extra introduction I LOVE IT instant like for that
Bought the g14 last year and the only thing I really wished for would be a 16:10. Cool to see that they are becoming the standard now
This would have been a pretty good choice for me, if it wasn’t for that ergolift hinge. I’m looking for a laptop I can travel with, and the fact that this laptop only has a ridge at the end to scrape over surfaces or dig into your legs, instead of a solid flat bottom, gives me a major ick.
Guess I’ll wait for other brands to release their 2022 models.
Dave you've outdone yourself with your thumbnail! I couldn't not click! Amazing stuff! ❤️
Okay really excited for this refresh! Been really needing an upgrade
I have the 2021 G14, and it's really good. Asus knows what they're doing with these laptops.
me too, are you thinking of upgrading your 2021 model to the 2022 for better performance and more heat?
@@jonadam4233 I would like to, but I'm not insane. The 2021 version is still exceptional, so I will keep it for a couple years. Also, the 2022 version, imo, is not better in every way. The lack of a print screen button, the heat blowing directly on the screen, and the AMD gpu's lack of DLSS.
@@DelibasTT even if macs could run the programs I'd need them to (but they can't), I still wouldn't switch because of their software
@@Danymok Right on, I was curious as a fellow 2021 g14 owner. I feel like the power of the 2021 model is enough for all my needs right now, If I upgraded, I doubt I'd notice much.
I also bought it, it's an amazing laptop gets a llittle hot though i wish i could figure out how to undervolt it
Finally, fast response times on the screen. I've always avoided the g14 just because of the terrible screens.
for real. the older high refresh screens with +40ms response time was silly
@@Dave2D you could always replace the pannel (i have done so, but not because of that)
@@DemeDemetre why replace your panel?
Last year's model has a good response time too, it was the first one in 2020 that was slow
@@B1u35ky There was some ghosting last year. I don't mind it that much, but it's my only gripe
As always a review that is on point with all the infos needed!
Man, love ur setup, raw industrial look.
Sooo neat.
picked up the 16gb 6800s option for 1400 at best buy. couldnt be happier. gaming laptops temps not too crazy (use external monitor, mouse and keyboard when doing that anyways). forza horizon 5 and MW2 in high settings still gettting over 100 fps avg. 10/10
What about the temps and noise? Interesting to buy for mw2. And what settings did you set?
Thanks in advance
@@iRYO400 as long as you keep it on performance doesn’t get too loud or hot. Combo of medium high and ultra settings for both games
I am really interested in buying this product, but what about quality control? I've seen more comments at Best Buy about QC and display problems.
@@dheerajch3316 no issues with mine but suppose you never really know till you actually use it
What about heat blowing directly into the LCD?
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed. I watched your laptop reviews, specifically Asus and I chose the 13"Zenbook - OLED screen, 16/512, 360°, and I am so happy with this laptop (thank you for your reviews that helped me decide) that I do not regret not being able to grill my fish or float my boat. I'll leave those specific tasks to appropriate machines and revel in this lightweight-better-than-a-phone-pc... I can almost put it in my pocket !
I plan on grabbing the Asus Zenbook 14 with the oled panel too. I'd be coming from a g14(2020), and I have realized that I don't need the machine to game when I have my desktop for that.
I'll be using the zenbook strictly for work (web dev and graphic design), and moving from the par panel that the 2020 g14 has to an oled 2k screen is going to be awesome.
Thanks for the honest review. I'm happy with my 2021 model due for heat reasons. I do wish the track pad was bigger though
Hi .. I love to watch all of your videos ! Because I get learn new output from your videos Dave2D
Holy crap! This laptop is so well rounded. It's undeniable. Let's hope there aren't any quirks- there are often quirks that become more obvious after months of use. With these temps, I'm leaning towards a 15" with more cooling and a faster GPU.
My exact thoughts. If the g15 had the same 16x10 aspect ratio, my decision would been set in stone.
@@olumaintain906 There is always the m16 but that has Intel...
@@DCsProductions Exactly, and from what i've heard from the most recent reviews, it gets extremely hot. I'll wait for a youtube to review it or i might just get a legion 5 pro from last year.
@@olumaintain906 This G14 gets extremely hot anyways lol
@@Supcharged Very true but, i'd say thats expected with that much power in its form factor.
Awesome, I've been waiting for reviews about the latest versions of ASUS laptops!
Would this new version of G14 be good for video editing, Photoshop and colour correction? Is the colour accuracy good enough?
Yes!
Awesome video; I'm always a big fan of your content! Any chance we'll see a review of the newly updated Eluktronics Max 15 & 17 (Or comparable brand/model)? They seem like highly underrated laptops for their size and performance, and it would be awesome to see some in-depth reviews and comparisons with these. Cheers!
Great reviews, looking for a focused review on that Asus Flow tablet with the funky window on the back. Would be interested in how you would compare it to that huge Samsung tab you reviewed.
Really looking forward to the Zephyrus M16 and G15.
Aside from the M1 Max transition, I don't think I've ever seen as big of a generational leap betwen successive notebooks as this one.
Thanks a lot!!! I'll be buying this computer thanks to your review!
Thank you for mentioning the lack of a Print Screen button. I oddly have always appreciated it. Screenshotting just isn't the same...
“With great power comes great… heat”. That’s the wisdom of Uncle Dave.
Man! I'm so into these compact but VERY capable laptops. The M1 14" is one of my favorite pieces of tech, been on the hunt for a Windows equivalent.
if you're not gaming, i'd say take the 14'' M1. Performs on par with the G14, has industry leading battery life (not that the g14 has a bad battery, it's actually very good), seamless use with an iPhone, slightly better screen. I took the G14 because i don't have an iPhone and I game on the side.

Great video Dave, if you can please do make a video on swapping internals in laptop 💻
Good video!
Though I'd also like to see repairability checks and performance benchmarks while unplugged.
It would be great if there's an oled option with 90hz/120hz refresh rate. They do use such panels in other 'business' laptops, just not the rog ones.
Although the windows hello face recognition is nice I really would have liked for them to give us the option to choose between face recognition and the fingerprint sensor. Great review as always though!
This.
Was waiting for this !!!
Will definitely be upgrading from my 2021 model to this. The screen, and webcam are needed for me for remote work.
Either this or the G15 would be what I’m aiming for. An all round complete laptop that should cover all but the most demanding workflows.
I agree, plus I like to game in my spare time but I don't want everyone around me to see a red laptop that screams gamer
what about the M16?
@@itihasadhikari240 for me it’s too big, but that’s also a great option since the new one is very close size wise to the 15 inch model
@@itihasadhikari240 gets too hot. Read reviews online
Straight up G15
I have 2020 G14 and I love it. It gets hot yes, but the versatility is amazing. I would switch to a new one for webcam and bigger touchpad, but I think this is way too soon.
I hope that USB 4 drivers thing does eventually pan out, because that and the lack of HDMI 2.1 was the only thing keeping me from seriously considering not waiting another year to upgrade my rtx 2060 G14
VERY happy to see they've exposed the removable connector on the battery side, in previous models this was either not exposed or not present. The only apparent way to disconnect the battery was to remove a free-floating conductive metal clip on the board side right above exposed traces leading to the battery controller. Yikes.
I always knew AMD and ASUS had the potential of making small efficient gaming laptops. Judging by the efficiency and performance, I am hoping an RX6600S 6/8GB will be released to beat the RTX 3050Ti 4GB, which is slower than a GTX 1660TI 6GB but still used as a GPU for thinner or budget devices.
Edit: Also same price as 3050Ti would be perfect
Best Buy is showing a model with the 6700s along with a 6800s model.
from my experience with the G14 for a year. i can say that my screen is already slightly bended because of the heat even with that plastic chain. The fan suck way more dust and air than any of my previous gaming laptop. I would seriously consider such screen design is a red flag for long term use. I wish there is a glass screen option for gaming laptop not only in 4K but 2K&1080P so the laptop itselp can have longer life
Well let’s see with this Laptop
Looks beautiful even though I'm not a fan of sub 15in screens and I'm still in love with my M16.
Dave again with the quality content
I recently bought this one but with a lower VCard 6700s, should i get a cooling system or simply rely on its vapor tech? If so what could be the best one for its size?
the 6700s is 20w lower(same 80w as the prev 3060 but with better cooling) so u're all good, dont need anything

I bought the g14 from last year for $1175USD (second hand). It's sooo much better than the Dell laptops I've had in the past.
This is the price point I'm looking for lol
@@shannon7674 nice thanks!
Honestly, the most impressive part of this for me personally is the integrated GPU. 27fps at 1080p Medium in Cyberpunk. Like, what?! Literally insane. I was already impressed with integrated GPUs back when I had a laptop with a 3500u that allowed me to play Witcher 3 at 720p Medium with 30fps. But this is just a whole new level. Entry-level dedicated GPUs are definitely becoming obsolete, and that’s a good thing
Totally agree, I have a Steam Deck, and I was debating a ROG Ally but this on discount at BBY this week is a no brainer. I'll keep my Deck and replace my Ryzen 3700x/2060 with this.
@@douglarsen4801tbh if u already own the deck there's no point even thinking about the rog. If you didn't own you can argue the case to get it at the cost of support as Asus will role them out frequently while steam deck will be prob next 5 years. They plan to support this one for long and build a solid base for their next product which is proh gonna be the real power house and real tech to integrate with their steam system. But otherwise buying them separately, nah.
Was waiting for this
I'm glad to see these upgrades, but considering the price I had to pay to get the 2021 model, I'm good. Not planning any upgrades for the next five years.
My first laptop buy will be a G14. I just love the simplistic look and how light it is for a gaming laptop. It's almost a perfect laptop. I really hope this is in my budget or I would have to go with the older versions.

@@minecraftminertime how much was it last year?
I absolutely love Asus' dedication to keep improving this product year after year. It's not enought to make me upgrade from my first gen G14, but they're clearly listening to their customers. I run my laptop HARD and over the past 2 years I have never had any issues with temperatures. They seem to have properly tested it to hold up to the tempeartures they're pushing. One downside is the fans aren't very durable. I'm on my third set becuse the bearings crap out every 9 months or so, but I would consider my use case to be extreme (high fan rpm for 8 hours plus per day)
Agree on the fans. I'm already on my 3rd set of fans. At least the warranty's great and they replaced my fans free of charge.

Now, there’s a webcam! Awesome. The lack of one was the dealbreaker for me on last year’s model.

@@cthulhouette lol see the last vid
Went to Best Buy last night and they had on display the 2021 G14 and that display/keyboard/sound was fantastic. I can only imagine how much more powerful this new 2022 version is. Quick question on anyone that has purchased last year's model: how has it been going so far? Any issues or concerns?
I got my 2021 model from best buy around 6 months ago, and its been great. Once, my G14 stopped connecting to internet, but the fix was as simple as holding down the power button for 1 minute.
i have the 2021 one for 5 mounths now ,it’s a very good 14” laptop fantastic battery life ,good screen and speakers etc but there are some problems you should know first you are killing the 3060 by limiting it to 80w its like 10-15% less fps than max-p 3060 , mediatek wifi card is not so great either sometimes it just stops working (happened twice so far) and you’ve got to restart to connect again, and not having a webcam is a problem sometimes especially if you are student , it doesn’t have rgb just white backlit but it isn’t great either if you look at it carefully you can see that it’s a bit uneven and some keycaps are brighter than others , other than these i haven’t seen any other problems
@@soheilalimohammadi8429 Thank you so much for your detailed experience with your laptop. I guess it's always like having a PC as before: there's always something to trouble shoot. Haven't used a PC since back in 2012 when I had a Dell desktop so I just want a good machine to game on. Cheers!
@@Goalier95 your welcome, if you want to game , this is not the best choice in this price range , specially switching form desktop to laptop can be hard sometimes because now you have to watch the temperature and get used to smaller screen , if you want a laptop just for gaming i’d take look at rog g513 or legion5 and 5 pro but you can also take a look at g14’s big brothers g15 and m16 they are the coolest windows laptops in my opinion

Coming to the usa in August for my masters. Definitely gonna buy this beast, hopefully it's under 1500
Look at your @daved - blushing like a kid got his toys. Really good product and awesome review. 😀
For me the g14 has always been the laptop to beat. Unfortunately I am not sure if the 6800S really is an improvement over the 3060. Don't get me wrong for gaming it is fine. But gaming laptops also make great mobile workstations for 3D art. And AMDs ray tracing on desktop has been a behind nvidia so a blender or arnold Render with GPU acceleration would have been interesting to see if it really holds up.
AMD and Intel so close. Don’t know what to choose. Loving the competition
Seems to come down to Intel having slightly better performance in this generation versus AMD having considerably better efficiency.
If you are looking at 14 inch devices then amd takes the win. At 17 inch intel just has that raw performance. perfectly balanced.
yea, and will AMD laptops have better GPU with the same price as Intel like last year's? who knows
@@MLHunt it's so interesting seeing people going from calling AMD CPUs furnaces to efficient
If you want way better Integrated Graphics performance then consider AMD
this guy making the cleanest looking thumbnails on UA-cam, love it
Small typo at 1:54. The Blade 15 has the 5900HX, not the HS. So it's not exaaactly a comparison of the same cpu tier, but almost. Just so you know :)
Yoo that iGPU is crazy!! Better performance than gtx 1050ti xD
it's SO much better than any other integrated graphics right now
I love the designs on these G14s and I've almost pulled the trigger on getting one in several generations...but I've realized I just want something quiet and cool in that same 14" shape with a 16:10 screen. I'm hoping to get something like the 6800H/S using the RDNA2 graphics. I'm hoping we'll see some options in that range soon. If anyone has recommendations I'd love to check out a few choices.
A few years ago Intel even tested a concept using the back of the display for heat dissipation, if I remembered it correctly, LCDs get along with heat very well.
Intel really love the heat lol
OMG 16x10 aspect ratio!!! 💗💗💗
I'm so excited it's finally catching on!
