Basically a 10 minute infomercial ad for the laptop.
Lol
at 4:50 he says that the new one is slightly more powerful than the last gen version man, i don't think it's an ad.
And what he didn't said: the SSD is the WD SN560.. very slow for a ROG Gaming/Creative/Whatever laptop
So what was the box supposed to do?
I imagine these will be 4090 x2 price minimum... But super quiet, portable, and a really nice display? Sounds worth it if you can afford it. :)
The 4080 super will be the go to choice
didn't they say that the 2024 G14 was 4060/4070 only because of the thin chassis? I think the 4080 and 4090 live on in the 2023 body.
best buy has the 32gb ram version with a 4070(max spec) for 2k
Got the 2022 G14 this year for only 1200 Euros in a pretty good config. I am SO happy with it, especially for the price that I paid. It's super portable, well build and even the batterylife - if you don't game or cut videos, is decent. For me that new iteration would not have been something I would have considered due to the price difference. But for whomever wants to afford it, go for it... The 2 year old model is fantastic, so this must be even better. But I don't really like that they removed the Animatrix display, or more like made it that stripe... Yeah, it's just a Gimmick, but I actually love it.
Daily drive that boy for over a year, it was great!! I only switched because I saw an OLED Aero on sale, and as a video editor/CG artist, the screen was unmatched. Still, I loved that boy, and I gave him to a friend of mine who needed a portable workstation/gaming PC.
Daily driving the 2021 model g14.
1. I miss Animatrix
2. I love that they went with CNC aluminium for bottom part of the chassis, my magnesium alloy one if chipping itself.
3. I hope to see a smaller hinge lift this time around 🤞
What specs on it?
I'm *SO* happy to see so many people *_finally_* realizing that LCD just isn't good enough any more.
This is so true you can start a career out of that (just saying, cuz some media journalist start their way out by pointing out these kinds of things)
Gaming on a OLED screen would be fun. I can't wait to see health bar burn left side on my screen.
@@SolsanaSolarist yeah that's not really a worry anymore on modern oleds
Are you sure about that 🕵️. CAN happen just not as common
@@devinugochukwu9990 you CAN have an airplane drop on you
That unboxing experience is top notch.
What mouse were you using? it looked home made
I want the zephy g14 w/ 4060 since I won't use it for gaming but for web browsing and probably coding and other cool stuff. I love that the keys are bigger and hearing that it weighs less than 2023 zephy g is even better! It looks soo nice. I'm probably getting the white one.
thoughts on what battery life is gonna be on the g14 2024?
as someone who owns a 2023 G14, my only complaint is the trackpad, its great when it works but it does some strange things like make weird noises when you touch it or just over respond or under respond sometimes.
Watching this from a 2023 Asus G14 with RTX 4060. I already thought the laptop was great so it's nice to see them making it better.
Ironic
I just bought the 2023 4060 model from BB - it dropped down to $999. At that price point I couldn't justify the newer model. The 2024 has soldered ram (yuck) and I've seen how much the screen wobbles. The older model also has a more powerful gpu. Guess it just depends on what specific users want.
Not ironic, coincidence
I guess they told Ken not to come in as he would've tried to take it home.
great video man, honestly i too love the g14 lineup, now more than ever.
i have a lil question, next month i'll be buying a new laptop and i'm sure i will go for a g14. do you (or anyone reading this) think it's worth is to buy, for example, the 4050 2024 model instead of the 4060 2023 model at a little major price point? i know it's some sort of a performance sacrifice, but i don't know at wich extent is worth it. also, i'm a little afraid of this new g14 will come with soldered ram, so if i buy the 16 gb model in some near future it will be just falling down. do you have any thougts on this? for me, i'll wait until price points are revealed
Im still confused on how the laptop cooling airflow goes, does it come out from the bottom on the screen like the old G14 does? Or is it like a Bottom In Bottom Out thing
They are going too far paying every Tech Touber to promote this
Obviously, the marketing team is doing a great job. They’re making this laptop so they can sell. I really don’t see why is that an issue?
@@blinkguy4ever u will see the issue, once u need to make use of their customer service :D as a customer that used to have a 3100€ top of the line strix scar product, i can tell ya from my own experience. 1st and last asus product. their marketing and design is unmatched, but what u actually get is a big joke. the lenovo legion does far better in anything, features, cooling, noise, usage, bloatware (lol it a nightmare on asus), etc. just 3 examples:
1.) when u want to maintain ur Lenovo, u have a bios option that will deactivate the battery, so u are safe to work on it without the risk of causing a short. on the asus u can !only! physically disconnect the battery and have a nice spark when connecting it again, good luck doing this over and over.
2.) warranty void if you want to maintain the cpu/gpu in terms of repasting, ur not allowed to remove the heatsink by asus LOOOL. no problem on a lenovo, warranty still remains.
3.) asus hardware wont perform at its maximum without their armory crate bs software. guess what on a lenovo i dont need all that and even the powermode switching works without ANY lenovo software installed.
BONUS! if you ever need to send ur laptop in, for maintainance, asus will not give u a replacement device, not even for their top of the line producs that u bought.
guess what lenovo does? right, even for their 500€ laptop u get a replacement device if you ever need to send it in. thats how customer service works.
what do you get on asus customer service? i asked for a replacement device 2 times and they simply ignored it, they didnt even say yes/no they just fkn ignored it.
beside that, anytime u email with asus customer support, u have another person on the other end that does NOT read the email-history and good luck explaining over and over and over and over the same thing to different ppl. its just madness. all u are left with are copy paste answers that are made to suit the average user that has no clue about what hes doing. i got more than 20 yrs of experience with hardware. what does that mean? the average asus customer support has less skill than any 20 yrs old teenager these days that grew up with pcs.
in fact my used 1k lenovo legoin 5 has not a single problem whatsoever, anything is just perfectly fine, while on that asus crap i had issues over and over within the 2 years it last. 2 or 3 months after the warranty expired, this asus laptop turned to e-waste (it died). from what i could find out, im not the only one that had the exact same experience with that strix scar bs, model g533qs with 5900hx/RTX3080 16GB/32GB Ram/2TB SSD.
Does the right side USB-C port accept power?
Do you know anything about the ASUS ROG Flow Z13/14 series 2024?
Daily driving the 2021 model g14.
1. I miss Animatrix
2. I love that they went with CNC aluminium for bottom part of the chassis, my magnesium alloy one if chipping itself.
3. I hope to see a smaller hinge lift this time around 🤞
In the video it shows that they have removed the hinge lift for a more conventional screen layout so stability of the laptop should be improved, hopefully with strong screen hinges but we will see when Asus stops blue balling with pre production models.
@@Rowdy_Raider I noticed that too and on checking there website they seem to have removed the ergolift replacing it with seath hinge design so no more lift I guess. idk how I should feel about this hmmm!
I still have the 2021 G14 and its been my daily driver since. I really like my G14 for Price and value for its size. Highly recommended the older versions if you can find one for a great price. I got mine retail for 800 when it was normally 1200.
Same bro it holds up still
Many blessings to you💞 ✌🥰
G14 is my favorite laptop, sold my old asus ROG laptop to buy a G14 but then bills happen for my kids and gone money gone dreams XD.
Hopefully in the next 2 years im able to buy this one second handed.
Had the g14 gave it to my brother and bought a 2022 g15 and it works perfectly. Wonder if they have trade in bonuses.
The most important shot, for me at least, is missing from this video. One of the most important things for me to see before I can even consider buying a certain laptop, is the internals. One good view of the internals answers so many important questions. Is the charge port soldered to the board or not? Are there extra storage slots available? Is the ram soldered to the board, or is it upgradeable? because the "on board" reference on the specs page does not bode well. All of these things are so very important and impact the long term usefulness, repairability and upgradeability a heck of a lot.
yeah, looking at the specs page, 16gb x 2 on board, max 32gb capacity, that ram is soldered to the board! Making these laptops just as terrible as recent macbooks. (8gbx2 16gb max in case of the rtx4070 version of the g16) A definite DO NOT BUY in my book.
@@rick5078I only use a laptop for a couple years then upgraded so I don't really need upgradable ram
@@whyamievenhere1334 the baked on ram is usually not the best kind of ram and I would definitely want to be able to choose what ram my laptop has. But more than that, the baked on ram fails very fast, within a couple of years usually, especially in gaming laptops. The solder connections get broken over time from the constant heating and cooling of the laptop.
Probably because these are production units
its a pre production unit
Everything beside, what is that mouse?
The only person to have gone too far in this situation is Austin buying too many Wish-tery, Ali Express-tery, and Temu-stery tech to fuel his Mystery Tech series
How much did it cost to buy you?
Ye he should stick with Etsy... Clearly they are better since he's still using that mouse and has that silicon wafer art piece in the back. :D
@@vinnieboy49As much as your mother. Not a lot. Unfortunately she let herself get hit raw by at least one paying client and now we have to deal with you.
Matt, is this you??😂😂😂😂😂
Matt, is this you??😂😂😂😂😂
the Etsy mouse tho 💀
What is the fan noise like when watching youtube and using discord for example. On the 2022 model?
I have one question, how’s the keyboard?
Asus have good keyboards. Almost as good as Lenovo's
They are making them thin with no options to watercool them.
When will this release in the US?
Please ask Asus about the lower resolution on G16 as well. It's 2.5k while the smaller one is rocking a 3k display
I'm still satisfied with my 2022 version, still strong in gaming and graphic design. Not interested in upgrading yet. Great review, interesting and very clear.
En esa version te corre juegos triple a sin problemas?
Maxed out gray G16, my new daily. Can't fucking wait
What up austin
I have a 2022 zephyrus g14 amy rx6700s. They run super hot but they perform very well.
Honesty taking it in i hate the OLED display hate glossy screens why i don't get touch screen laptops
G14 2024 is 2300 euro here and the legion slim 5 14” is 1300 for a similar setup. Would the zephyrus really be worth that much extra? It looks slightly better though i’m not a fan of the diagonal strip on top.
good question, depends on small matters if you're okay with no rgb on slim 14, worse speakers, worse build (but still good enough), no Gsync, slightly bigger footprint and I think the oled on slim 14 has less brightness as well but not sure. G14 goes up to 4070 while slim 14's max config is 4060. So again, depends on small matters wether it's worth it for you to almost pay the double
These two models are the best of 2024 hands down. The design and build quality and especially the keyboard top notch
Anybody here wondering whats up with Austins mouse? It looks like a rectangular LEGO Technic Kit.
It was in the recent Etsy video
My problem with the G14 has always been heat. The form factor makes you want to use it as a daily. But in the past, they just got too hot for daily use. And then, give that amount of power, you start to notice the smaller screen. It's a bit of a steampunk device, i.e. it's trying to be something that the tech of today just can't manage, so it whirs, wheezes and gets very hot.
Maybe this was an issue for older ones? I dailied a 2022 g14 for a good while without heat issues, at least as a chrome machine on quiet profile. Could play games for a good while without issue too with heat.
It's a bit of a mixed bag. I've got the maxed out 21 GeForce version and I still abuse it daily. I just clean the fans each 10 months or so, no repasting yet. Others have heat issues starting day one.
Mine always stays quiet until you start gaming and then it starts a little
NO replaceable RAM, NO!
Man what are those emojis 💀💀
wtf is that mouse at 7:14
Where's the copilot key?
When Windows laptop can commercially use ARM, that is the time I will buy one. I have the 14" MBP, and a Desktop solely for fps gaming like Apex in 1440p. So happy with the desktop, but I just want an all in one machine. Anyway the g14 2024 looks amazing.
The way Matt walked in....
I got the 2023 version it still looks great and feels nice
The zephyrus g14 looks rather sexy for an Asus gaming laptop. Doubling down on what works best for the zephyrus and the screen looks way better than the 2021 or 2022 versions. The trackpad looks as big as it ever will be and gives MacBooks a run for their money. The display looks even sharper but also very vibrant. Honestly razer has a very viable competitor in terms of the g14/g16.
damn. I wish I could afford this. hell even the last gen would be nice as hell.
Last gen sucks, after I swore to never buy Asus products again, I'm looking at this g16...
I got a first gen g14 and it’s been wonderful, probably going to pick one of these up in 2025 when they’re in sale lol
I love my 2022 G14 and with GHelper I can get my battery life up to 10 hours easily
Battery life?
Austin has a bumblebee on his hand
Still love my 2021 (? 3060 1440p AniMatrix Ryzen 9). Even does VR pretty good
no more led matrix? :(
The downsides for me is that the G14 does not have thunderbolt neither an Ethernet port.
The G16 has those ports but both have soldered memory which I am not a fan of.
It is a good thing that we are getting G-sync and way better speakers but I guess the vapor chamber is only for high end GPUs.
Thunderbolt is only available with intel which is why it’s on g16
It has USB 4 I think which generally has decent support for docs and such
Review embargo lifted? All big tech UA-camrs released their review videos at the exact same minute 😀
2020 version still going strong. speakers are great especially with the community making the g14 better with software. i have a program with combines dolby atoms with apo equalizer. its sound amazing with good bass.
RTX 2060 and R7 4800H?
@@aaz1992 yes but I think I have 4900hs and rtx 2060 max-q design (old term)
It's getting weaker on certain games now but I play on ultra wide so that is bc of resolution and the card being limited by 65w so only 1450 clock rate on gpu
I'm ignoring every spec of this laptop and just wondering if they really removed the ANIme matrix?😢
They did, there's only the LEDs under the stripe. Lame.
@@bubbledoubletroublewho even used the matrix? It was really corny.
3:18 yoooo 😂😂😂😂😂
I'll buy one when it goes on sale for $99.99
why not intel ultra?
When you say you have NO criticisms or complaints, you're admitting you're not reviewing anything. You're advertising
AI interests me Austin!
If only I could afford to upgrade my g14 2021 module
1:49 Its a rog remix on 2021 alan walker is partner rog he maked a customise g14 rog laptop
The ps5 still on fire😂
Eh, I still like the look of the 2020-2023 models and I prefer having the 4090 in my 14
The Polar Express comment needs to be a meme 😂 omg ive been sick all day and this was just magic
How is the fan under stress and gaming modern
I use the G15 and its been great, granted I dont play crazy games, but its been great.
That LED stripe on the cover really bothers me a lot, I wish they had kept it clean. Otherwise, beautiful design
He was using the ultra light mouse from the last vid to play
So the 4070 Modell is enough?
You will have to turn down settings even at 1080p in new demanding games lol. 8gb of vram is not enough anymore
excellent review
You should do a video about buying tech off the tiktok shop lol
Nvm
You and Linus both but you beat him to the upload I got yours first good Job Austin.
I can't stomach the "unboxing" fetish, I don't feel like spending 100 bux on the box
Linus already share the inside hardware information of new laptop g14 and 16 model.
The g14 or the new xps 14?? I’m thinking the g14
The xps 14 is a great laptop but a shitty gaming laptop. Even though it technically has a Nvidia GPU, it doesn't deliver enough power to use it at the full potential. The pricing for Dell in general, but especially the xps models, is too high. In order to get the specs of the g14 flagship, you will be spending 300 dollars more for the xps. The xps looks nicer in my opinion but you are paying more for less.
I wish I had one of those laptops :C
🙃
AUSTIN I came here to figure out what GPU was in it and it took until 8:58 to mention GPUs!!!
Pass for me my eyes hurts frommthe pwm of oled displays
Austin is actually reverse aging
What of battery 😢
Lets be serious here, whats the battery life on this bad boy...1 hour 30 minutes ?
this dude look like logic
Matt you already used that joke!
Hey Austin, I don't know what you're going to do with your old zephyrus but I'll take it off your hands.
Austin mate, say after us: "A-LU-MI-NI-UM". Other than that, nothing but love.😅
Hi Austin
Dang. Austin Evan’s making more stuff that pop up to my recommended after I just got a pc is crazy
Why must there always be a new thing!? Optimize what you have first Nvidia and AMD!
9:21 is me
the 2022 g14 with the 6800gpu is the best deal. less then half the price and pretty much the same performance
> no new gpus this year
well that aged poorly
For a gaming laptop I really shouldn't be expecting much but hows the battery life?
I’d love for you to try and do an undercover rma video on an ASUS laptop then see if you still like them lol
For backstory I purchased an ROG laptop did a bios update through their My asus software and it completely bricked my system. after creating an RMA support ticket and sending my laptop in after three weeks I get an email saying that there’s physical damage to the laptop in which I would have to pay $1000 to fix which was $300 short of the full price of the laptop itself. While that claim was quite literally not possible because it was fully functional up until the point of the bios update from their software I had to go back-and-forth five times with three different reps explaining that to them in which every time they denied to cover the cost, even though it had only been a month and a half after I purchased the laptop and was still registered under their one year warranty it was only after they probably got tired of me calling them to explain how stupid it is that it wasn’t being covered given the situation in which the bricking of the laptop occurred they offered to fix it as a “one time courtesy”
amazing!
If it doesn't have a 2 4090s and 100tb ram I don't want it
Austin if you dont have space and need to get rid of pc’s hit me up up ill take them. (Please give me a pc i need one 😭)
n a w
use a shitbook pro or something i heard they're cheap and "w o r k"
Over $2,000 is alot of money
In this case it’s worth it
