Asus g14 has better build ,better speakers,better performance,better battery and better webcam+microphone which is underrated. yeah! g14 wins by a margin.
AND SOMEHOW CHEAPER.
Now if only Asus had better pricing and support in other countries than the US...
And best wobbling on the market
@@Promikes The wobbling on the device is making me uneasy, but I'll get used to it eventually
Personally still cant stand the soldered ram on both, like come on
@@agumon1605 I opted for the 32GB option since it's all I need for a small laptop
I was waiting for this exact review out of my own curiosity. Great job. I chose the Omen, it was replacing a 10+ yr old iMac, and I couldn't be happier with it. I did go back and forth a bit between these two, but happy with the Omen.
Huh I thought the G14 is a much closer design to 2013-2015 macbooks, I can't stop seeing the similarity, same look with much faster hardware.
Stoked that you’re enjoying the Omen! It’s a great machine!
No idea how you ended up with the HP. The Asus is so much better in basically every aspect.
As someone who bought both laptops I agree the G14 slightly edges out the Omen 14. Cost is a factor though, but if you can afford it go G14.
Are you sure that you posted the right weight for the omen 14? in the video it says 1.4 kg it should be around 1.7 kg? correct me if i am wrong ? :P
You're right, had to google it to confirm haha
I think they got flipped in the video?
Ben.
Can you plz confirm if charging the G14 via a USB-C 100W charger - ruins the internal battery over time? Heard it overheats the battery....
Thank you very much for testing Solidworks !
I hope you keep test it on any computer you are reviewing.
Also, did you explain what is your scoring method, and if we can replicate it ourselves? (so we can know what to expect when we move from our current computer to one that you have reviewed)
would like to know about the scoring method too
Best Buy had a sale on the hp and manage to snag a 4070 one for 1700usd. G14 is objectively better but couldn’t complain about the sale bestbuy had. I was coming from a razer blade stealth 13 with the 1650 so this hp blows my blade out of the water.
I just bought the G14 4070 from Best Buy. I love the OMEN keyboard. But, the gaming performance difference is what drew me to the G14. Plus, I have had 2 prior generations of G14 (2nd and 3rd gen). One thing that one other reviewer of the OMEN noted was that USB-C charging was very finicky on what charger was being used if it was not the one included. Most USB-C charges in the their studio did not work. That was a concern for me as I have a ton of other USB-C chargers I have and use. My 2022 G14 is my work laptop and I just use a compact 65 Watt Anker charger and usb-c to usb-c cable to run the laptop and it works great since I don’t want to carry the larger charger included with my old G14 (and I’m not gaming at work).
I wonder if it's worth getting the Asus 100W usb-C charger for the G14 or if any 3rd party charger will do.
Also, can you please share from your experience:
1. Did those usb-c chargers manage to give you the battery life+enough performance for your G14 on the go?
2. Did you notice any drop in battery life longevity after using those usb-C chargers for a while? Say you get now 4hr of normal web productivity compared to 7 hours when your G14 was newly bought?
@eladbari Hi. I also have an Asus Z13, so I have the 100W usb-c charger that came with that, and that works really well. I use my G14 as my DJ laptop, and I use the 100W charger for gigs as it works well with both laptops. The z13 is my backup laptop when I'm DJing. The battery does not discharge at all in that scenario. I bring my G14 to work as well (I'm a physician at UCD) and for my daily grind at work, it doesn't discharge with the 65W charger. I use MyAsus battery saver so it doesn't charge past 80% normally to help with longevity. I will charge fully if I anticipate I will have to work away from power and it will last for more than 4 hours.
@@chrisshinakadjredikulus7898 A Physician by day and a DJ by night? Niceee... :)
Many thanks for you sharing your experience. That 80% limit to charging is a great tip. I wasn't aware of that. You say you set it via the Asus Armoury maybe? Or is that battery saver mode is being set via another app / bios?
What about G-helper? Heard it's a much better app to monitor an Asus laptop....
p.s- 4 hours of heavy work on battery life live video editing sounds great. Hope it's really doable...
Need a dedicated video on legion 7i(2024)
Also,
Sir am confused between (custom builds) 5i pro/7i
As per Lenovo India website and options available,
I customized both with same specs, 32gb ram, i9 14th gen HX, 8gb rtx4070, 1 tb SSD.
Am worried about the TGP and gaming on 7i bcoz of its size and vent positions and also the lesser wattage adapter at 230W whereas the 5i pro provides an openly declared 140W TGP, side vents and a 300 W adapter.
However the 3.2k resolution on 7i with its white color is amazingly tempting AF but constrained at 165Hz whereas the 5i pro provides 240 Hz with WXQGA 2K panel (I chose the 100%DCiPe3 variants in both)
Am into UX/UI but also don't want to compromise on gaming capabilities of my purchase.
So pls help sir. A video on similar lines would clear the air for me!
Absolutely love OMEN. Had one, but returned it as HP is about to release per-key RGB version. In fact, they had it out, but they’re currently sold out and their configuration is MIA as of today
Awesome review!
p.s
The tongue killed me at 8:40
@12:14 Focusing on Battery life for video editing - I'm confused about turning off the dedicated 4070 while video editing. Is Premiere / After Effects only after CPU power so you don't lose performance if you only turn the integrated graphics on?
Davinci needs GPU power. Maybe it's a different story for this App.
Wish reviews would integrate Resolve Studio/Davinci as a compulsory test in their benchmarks for CPUs, GPUs and laptops
i was waiting for this, lets goooooo.
Holy hell the latency on the G14's camera vs audio?
Is omen laptop is able to withstand/ handle architecture softwares like revit and lumion? I mean how's the performance, does it lag or get heated or noisy?
By The Way Nice Guide it really helped me getting enough knowledge about both of the laptops
I would choose the G14 if you’re more heavily focused on 3D modeling. Has a little more performance in those programs based on my tests.
You’re most welcome
@@BenGKaiser ohh Thanks mate!
Then I'll be getting g14 👍🏻
Thanks for the review man! :)
idk why i am still going to buy omen
I need help picking a labtop for graphic design can you help
Could you please review lenovo legion 7i 2024? (Non pro)
What separates laptops this year is the keyboard heat for me. G14 has unacceptable heat so it would be either Omen or Legion this year. Omen is king though for industrial design looks! Great job!
Asus G14 is absolutely the best value/quality at it's size and pricepoint. My old 2021 g14 lasted 3 years until I broke it recently. It played just about every game at max settings and did well at consistent fps. Kinda glad I'm forced to upgrade now because i was getting tited of only a FHD display. At a pricepoint of only a few hundred $ than I got my pld one, Im excited to pick up this one.
Screen bounce has been driving nuts in these new laptops.
In Italy both laptops with the RTX4070 cost like 2600€.
For 1600€ I could get a Lenovo Legion Slim 5 (14inch) with Ryzen 7, RTX4060, 32gb of RAM and an OLED display.
Is it worth to spend the +1000€ more for like the 4070 and "new" processors?
i own the legion slim 5 14 and it comes with an OLED :). i can tell you that i dont regret buying it :)
@@niklasyin6972 I’m so dumb… that was like the first OLED screen for Legion’s laptops ahah I don’t know how I forgot that. So 1000€ more for what.. like “new gen” processors? RTX4070 perform 10% better than the 4060 so… yeah might just go fo the Lenovo
The slim 5 also has an OLED, it's more upgradable and much cheaper, the 4070 isn't much better and the ram difference doesn't matter since u can upgrade it.
I'd say the G14 and the HP are only better in design and portability.
If they Lenovo fits in your bag and you like its design it's a much better deal.
I also recently own a Slim 5 14" Bought it at best buy for $1050 USD. Worth every penny.
@@houssamalucad753 ram isn't upgradable unfortunately. Though the NVME slots are! It have an extra slot unlike the G14 and the Omen.
A review on rog zephyrus g16 vs legion 7
hello i can see the lenovo legion slim 5 14 inch in benchmark is superior then omen transend .
Hp omen transcend has weaker gpu due to its smaller tdp
@@haroldz123 in my region , lenovo legion slim is much cheaper than omen transend.
@@farisnazeri9841 get it then
You can see in the results. Omens 4070 is equivalent to the Slim 5 14's 4060
Legion is an ANIMAL. I’m going to do a review of the 3 head to head soon!
Which one runs hotter?
Which one is quieter?
this is definitly what i want to know
Just a heads up they both have the exact same Samsung display.
Asus just set the PWM much higher at 960Hz to enable G-Sync without adaptive sync messing with fluctuations in brightness as it would if it where any other OLED laptop.
Heat and fan noise comparison? This is very important for a laptop.
agreed
Hey can you please tell me whether we can expand ssd on G 14 by replacing the existing 1 TB one with a 2 TB one? Does it support a 2 or 4 TB SSD?
I have the 2024 G14 and I can confirm that you can replace the SSD. I replaced the 1tb factory SSD (bought a Ugreen enclosure for that one and it will continue to serve as an external SSD) with a 4tb from Western Digital, which is amazing. Feels like I never have to expand storage again. 🙂
@@Jayguevara1982 thanks a lot man. Now I just have to wait for this laptop to launch in my country.
@@Jayguevara1982Which version G14? I'd like to buy one
13:54 you seemed to have colored a laptop that is right bellow the omen. Not a big difference, but still annoying
My g14 creaks loud when I open and close it…is this normal? Also when I’m gaming ….
No reviewer ever mentioned, get a replacement unit
Reviewers don't mention screen wobbling, but it is there...
@@Promikes literally every single reviewer mentioned the new G14 has above average wobble. Even this very video. Maybe focus more?
@@houssamalucad753 average wobble)
you should only close/open laptops while holding the middle and not the sides. In time those hinges will break due to imbalanced force. It happense to all laptops except macbooks since macbook hinges are built in to the whole body
You reference gaming...yet don't reference gaming performance...thermals while gaming. Why? Maybe throw in 1080p 1440p fps for something like Helldivers 2, Madden 24...Spiderman? Your real world comparisons are great...if this were a Macbook comparison...in which case the Macbook would be the buyers choice unless they prefer the Windows 11 environment. I was hoping you'd review everything you did review...which is useful...but also cover the additional reasons to buy either of these Windows devices. Video editing is important...but for the price...and considering this might be a students only device other than their phone...gaming might be kinda important.
Bro, this isn't a gaming channel. We're here for his review because he focuses on creators. The benefit of UA-cam is if one reviewer doesn't cover an aspect, you can watch another. No hard feelings 👍🏽
Thanks for the honest review about the TRANSCEND 14 OMEN that thing is a BEAST especially with Ultra Core 9 + 32 gb RAM + RTX 4070 for $2000 !
The G14 is only Ultra Core 9 + 16 gb RAM + RTX 4070 for $2000 :(
thats the g16
The g14 is AMD 8945hs RTX 4060 for 1599
Keep in mind guys who are planning toy buy the G14, the LED strip gets scratched really easy, scratched mine three days after i bought it and even though i'm really careful! 😠
The led strip is a deal breaker for me….the only con for the hp are the speakers imo, but i think i am going with the omen. I have both of these in my best buy cart……i am about tho remove the G14
@JosephScappatura besides that it gets dirty, dirt goes in the holes there 🤦♂️
Finally.
I want G14 so bad but I heard that it has bad customer service
I noticed with 4K60, it would drop frames like crazy on the G14, I believe that it'll happen on the Omen Transend 14 too, I think it's a lower wattage on the Omen one. MacBook Pro 16 from late 2023 just smashes through pretty much any video thrown at it. You can do proxies or render out the timeline to solve that on the Transend 14 and the G14, but who wants to do this? That takes extra time to do that. I can make a video on how to do that on premiere pro.
Looool the asus laptop feels lighter yet its heavier. Interesting…
what's up guys
I’m glad i bought the lenovo legion slim 5 14”, in my opinion the best, no contest.
did you buy the 2023 version? how was the performance so far? is it ‘noisy’?
I'm thinking to do the same. The value of that thing is insane... in Italy it costs 1000€ less than the G14 and the OMEN :)
@@simonepiontini it’s a great bang for buck choice man! I’m surely happy with mine
I have been searching for a PC replacement for my Mac Book 2012 retina because I need to run solidworks and apple no longer supports that machine.
So I had purchased a new ASUS Zenbook 14 for $1500 from Best Buy but it only had the 4050 graphics card. I haven’t picked it up yet but thanks to your video I am going to canceled that order and I purchased a G14 instead with an RTX 4060 48gb/2TB drive for just a little more than the Zenbook. The 48gb of RAM might be overkill but I won’t have to worry about it.
This guy just pisses me off, its very clear that the HP is overpriced, and G14 wins for anyone who actually cares about where they spend their money.
I thought I was the only one who was thinking this... Like it's not even close between price, build, and performance...G14 is clearly better... Yet he was so focused on how simplistic the omen looked compared to how "gamer" and flashy the G14 looked... I would say for most people that's the least of their concerns
Is this a review of two of the most famous gamer laptop that does not test games??
You bet!!! Creator benchmarks only here.
Cant stress to people enough how bad HP laptops are they break pretty easily. Then also take a look at trust pilot and see HP customer service have 1.2 stars. This is because they won't help you if something breaks.
