I bought my wife the G14 and I got a Razer 16, both 2024 models. I'm actually jealous of my wife's machine. Unless you want bleeding edge performance with games, please. please, please just get the G14, you will not regret your purchase. I researched this machine over the last 2 months, and got the Razer because I thought I would game more than I did.
Very true. I switched to the G14 from my Blade 14, and the only things i miss are the stiffer display, the awesome RGB, and the thicker more sturdy aluminum (but then again, that also made it very heavy). She's a beauty :)
Omen Transcend 14 owner here: When plugged in with HDR ON, the Omen reports a 10-bit display. HDR only works when plugged in. I really WISH HP had an equivalent "HPHelper" app, since the Omen Gaming Hub is slow, limited, and riddled with ads. However, to change between the 3 performance modes, simply press FN+P. It takes 1 to 2 seconds for it to appear, much better than the 13 seconds to find it in Omen Gaming Hub. I like my Transcend 14, but if I had it to do all over again, would buy the 2024 Asus G16 (16-inch) instead. But I got a good deal at $200 off at Best Buy for $1,499, so I'm not complaining. The OLED display is gorgeous! So we share that exceptional feature.
I owned a older omen 16 with 11th gen Intel and the omen software suite made it certain that my next laptop would never be an HP. I swear as the computer gets older omen software gets slower. The rest of the machine runs beautifully but waiting 30-60 seconds for the omen software to launch while it repeats the messages the developers put in the loading screen to be "funny" drove me mad. 11th gen Intel chip needs to be undervolted so I had to launch the software on every start up. I just got a g14 and haven't installed ghelper yet because armory crate works so amazingly well compared to what I am used to with the omen software.
Man I keep hearing about how people like the white/silver G14 over the gunmetal one, but damn that grey gunmetal one is incredibly sexy. Super flush and matches the darks on the OLED panel. I’m more of a dark theme user, and having the rest of your laptop speak your theme outside of your software just makes the combo look flush and clean IMO. Sick video as usual boss 🫡
Thank you very much :D Yeah I liked the white/silver color more in the beginning, but after a couple weeks, this one is probably my favorite. I never thought I'd like gray as a color, but this one really stands out, especially with its texture. Really nice looking lil machine :)
Every single time I try to get the 2024 G14 out of my head, a video like this comes out. 😂 I'll wait till the end of the year and see if there's not an improved version coming in 2025 already (maybe with more customization options and/or a better GPU).
HAHA i know how you feel 🥲 There MAY still come a Ryzen 300 AI version, but they're not going to release a new GPU variant until the RTX 5000 series comes out (in early 2024)
I love how you did your review, specially that part where there was a counter of how fast 2 applications open :D even tho Im not a fan of the HP open, and I hate it's keyboard, it looks too flashy tbh haha, but again I enjoy your reviews, thanks a lot man 😁
Thank you for the amazing comparison! I have experienced Geforce Now just recently and looking for a laptop with a great screen and at least a 4060 with in it, for the case that a game i want to play is not supported by GFN. Among all the options I have researched, these two remain. In my country(Asia) a G14(R7 8845hs + 4060) costs almost the same as the Omen(U9 185h + 4060)=ca. 1500USD. And the thing is, for the future I would actually like my laptop to have Thunderbolt for egpy connection in the future and the highest wifi option as well. So at the moment as Omen has both of them the decision is rough for me😅 The G14 which I am looking at has not the 8945hs but better speakers, better display with 10bit(+I dont see myself so much because of the glossy screen) and ghelper is just better than the omen hub. I want to hear your opinion what would you have gone with if this was the case?
If they're the same price, I would always go with the G14 due to it being better in most areas. The displays on these 2 are 99% identical, so I'd still go for the G14 if that were a priority :)
@crimsontechyt Thx for your opinion! It helps me a lot to decide for one I would get end of the year! (Maybe could just wait for Lunar lake as well haha) keep up the good work!
Nice comparison! the one thing that I noticed is that the omen doesn't seem to have that antiglare filter that the g14 has maybe that's why it has better contrast. I personally didn't like it and the g14 can have whiny fans especially that 3rd fan its a shame the omen has such a low watts on its GPU I might give the legion slim 5 14 a try
I can assume that when travelling it is better to take Omen because of 140w charger that can be used with other devices, while in G14 type-c charging supports up to 100w, so from type-c G14 works worse. Of course you can take a proprietary 180w charger, but not everyone is ready to carry around an extra half a kilo for the sake of a small performance boost.
In some regions, the G14 comes with both this charger, and a 130W USB-C charger (the same one that the Flow X13 2023 uses). They can both charge at 100W with any generic USB-C charger, so i wouldnt call it an advantage necessarily. I have an Anker 100W gAn charger which is like 250 grams, which i carry with me when i dont want to use the full size brick. So they both have that versatility :)
Lmao I can see the camera blur. Have the same on my s23 too. Really good videos I love it man keep it coming, you've earned a sub. And yep I'm gonna buy the G14 thanks for your help ;)
Sad to see one of my most favorite laptops lose like that but I totally understand why. I did find the HP omen for $1050.00 open box at bestbuy and decided to buy it. It was between that or the Asus (which I must admit is pretty) but it made more sense going for the one that was about 700 off
For 1050 that is absolutely an amazing deal :D The only reason I didn't give the Omen 14 a recommendation is because the G14 exists. By itself, it's a VERY nice laptop, IF you can find it for the right price. And you did, so enjoy it :))
Hey should i wait for new asus laptops? Are they coming soon? Im still confused between these too. Someone said asus g14 makes a lot of noises and said the CPU of omen is better than the asus amd?

Hmmm that's a tough one. I think the slightly higher cost of the G14 is still worth it, since you're getting a more powerful GPU (The 4070 in the Omen performs like a 4060), and the build quality is better. But it depends on your budget, and item availability of course
hey @Crimson Tech I was wondering if the g14 is warm in light use as compared to the hp omen. Also in the uk the g14 is priced at 2,400 pounds whereas the hp omen is priced at 1800 pounds. Is it worth it to pay 600 more for the g14? considering that it heats up more in light use than the omen.
The G14 hovers around 45-55 degrees under light use, in which case it basically stays silent. The Omen is about the same, but it WILL have more audible fan noise (slightly). At 1800 and 2400 it is pretty tough... the G14 would be worth it if it was cheaper (like 2000 maybe), but at 2400, idk :/ I REALLY dont like the software the Omen has, and the fact that the 4070 is kneecapped, but I think it *is* worth it over the G14 at that price :)

Hi ! I do have a question. In your test, you say that the Omen struggles how to share the power between CPU and GPU. But when I look on the internet, they say both computers have the same TDP of 45W for the CPU. I mostly play CPU-heavy games, Sim games such as Planet Coaster, Cities Skyline etc. My question : is the Omen really worse CPU-wise than the G14 (in game) ? I’ve read a lot that in order to get a higher wattage for the GPU, the G14 nerf its CPU a lot. Is that true ? Ty in advance
hey, ive heard about asus laptops being unreliable. I got a zenbook 14 and it had hardware issues, returned it, and had the same problem 2 times. Do you think theres a chance the g14 would also come out faulty in my area or should I just get it?
You can't really predict those kinda things unfortunately. Asus laptops aren't unreliable, but i think they may have worse quality control (which are noticeable right away though). As long as your retailer has a return policy, there's no real risk in trying it anyways :) Just remember to fully stress test it, and test it for any defects within the return period. I've gotten unlucky with every laptop brand there is, so i dont think it's brand specific 🥲
Love tht honest review and side by side comparison! In terms of temperature, how hot/uncomfortable does the G14 get after awhile? I know all gaming laptops will get hot but does the G14 get exceptionally hot? Where are the hottest locations on the keyboard? Thanks!
It gets the hottest above the keyboard in the middle, but you shouldnt really touch that part anyways The keyboard itself stays really cool, since the fans pull air through the keys on top. So it's actually really comfortable to keep your hands on it. It only gets uncomfortable if you hold it on your lap while gaming, since the hot air gets blown out the back downwards, so your knees will get pretty warm after a while. But in normal use, it never really gets uncomfortable :)
I bought the HP with the 4070 and 32 GB of RAM today for €1700, compared to the Asus which costs €2499. The Asus is better, but not enough to justify an extra €700. My 2 cents.
It's about the same in terms of prices, but keep in mind the german keyboard layout is slightly different than the Dutch/International one. German retailers may have more aggressive deals coming up though, so look out :o This holiday is def the cheapest time for it, since RTX 50 GPUs are coming out in 2025, and laptops may follow. In Holland it's probably the cheapest either from the official Asus webstore with a deal, or from Alternate.nl :)
Hi, it seems like you did measure the G14 in the highest powerprofile, but with the Transcend 14 you didnt give it the additional 15W TGP powershare. This is enabled via the software under the performance presets "advanced settings". This gives the device a boost of around 20% in 3Dmark (10k gpu score) and gaming performance. The gap inbetween the T14 and the G14 should be around 10% then.
Yes, that's true. Burn-in has mostly become a non-issue with modern devices, due to how many anti-burn in techniques are built-in to most high quality OLED displays made my Samsung and LG. Paired with the fact that this technology has been perfected in 10-15 years, and thorough testing, i wouldnt worry about it too much :)
Dude does this omen 14 not worth the price ?? I ordered it with 16gb 1tbssd RTX 4060 version price at 1775USD. I'm a casual gamer just needed a 14 inch laptop with oled display and a powerful graphic card (Basically beautiful display good build and alot of power which can handle heavy tasks) under 2000USD. Got my eyes on this one so i thought its a good laptop. Plus at bestbuy people were complaining about g14s thermal throttling that it turn off while gaming or performing heavy tasks So thats why picked omen over g14. There are all omen 14 sponsored reviews so im a bit confused right now should i cancel it and go with some other laptop considering MBP m3pro ik it will cost over 2000USD. Actually im a developer i do app development and never been to any mac device so didn't pick mac at first. I can't get it returned I asked someone who's coming from US to buy it for me so what i get I'll have to keep it and i don't want my single penny to be wasted on something that is not worth.
Laptops turning off while gaming is not normal, so the people experiencing that have defective devices (bad luck xd). The Omen 14 is by no means a bad laptop, but the G14 2024 is simply better for the price. I would NOT recommend getting a Macbook if you've never worked on MacOS, since learning it is a pain in the ass, and you'll be missing a lot of versatility if you change platforms. Check out how much a 2024 G14 would cost for you. If it's around the same price (or cheaper), try to get that one.
Hey, I have a question regarding the HP omen transcend 14 - what is the max turbo boost can the ultra 7 get upto for just a single core performance, and also what temps does it get ? I looked into the prime95 tests of omen T14 and it looks like it's turbo boosting only upto 3.3 GHz and reaching 98 c temps, and then it throttles back to 3 GHz and 71 c. This is kind of a dealbreaker for me but i believe the test is that it's running all 6 P cores to 3.3 GHz. Most of my work apppications mainly work on single core, and to have atleast 3.8 to 4 GHz for a smoother operation. Does the intel ultra 7 turbo boost upto those clock speeds at single core ? While maintaining temps under 65-70 c ?
Hi, i dont have insight into the Ultra 7, since i only have the Ultra 9 model. The tests you mentioned are indeed all-core loads, so it'll heat up very quickly, and will need to throttle to cool down. On single core loads, it does keep its max boost frequency, which on the Ultra 9 is 5.0-5.1 GHz. On the ultra 7 this should be around 4.7-4.8
@@crimsontechyt so basically for ultra 9 on single core .. practically it is able to go upto 5 GHz .. that's awsome. But what about the temps ? Is it able to go to those speeds and still maintain under 65 c ?
It really depends on how much RAM the laptop comes with. If you have one with 16GB, Windows will use about 4-5GB. If you have 32GB, it will use around 5-6. This is just Windows pre-allocating RAM, so it shouldn't be an issue unless you play VERY RAM intensive games (like Rust).
in my opinion i had the g14 for about 3 months and i had to return it becuase of how damn hot it would get i was playing valorant on low settings and for some reason i was getting 96 degrees celcius!
Great comparision, but the conclusion seems doesn't fit your obesrvation as they're all well-built laptops with different design, instead of only the perfomrance being compared. And the pricing, Idk if it's differed by location, OMEN seems chearper.
It definitely does! But it never uses all that overkill cooling, since the system is so bottlenecked by power limits. It's a shame that such a nice cooling system is wasted with such bottlenecks.
So if you live in Euro better take G14 But if you live in South East Asia Think Twice How about liquid metal? In the future Can you repaste liquid metal with asus left over liquid metal? Or better purchase new one? Or repaste with carbon Thermal paste? if you planning to clean your fan? Or can we cleaning asus fan without open the Heatpipe?
I just cannot understand why the silver g14 is not available in my country with 32gb ram and a 4070, hek its not even available with 32/ 4060..... I DONT UNDERSTAAAND
Asus g14 has better build ,better speakers ,better performance ,better battery and better webcam+microphone which is underrated. yeah! g14 wins by a margin.
@6:11 - I gotta understand how should users utilize those Monitor profiles exactly? If most images/ videos we make - are consumed in phones + PC screens - then it should probably be set to sRGB no? +But I heard G14 users also use it as some kind of trick to view the screen in a better way [maybe get rid of un-even lighting zones? I forgot the reason and which profile ppl use].....
I havent encountered a problem with lighting zones, so those might be defective units... As for which color profile is the best, I just use Default, since it's the brightest. But DCIP3 is more aacurate. Of course it all depends on what color standard you use for content editing, but the options are there :)
@crimsontechyt I just bought the G14 a week ago and it has been great. I still have armory crate on it but I might switch it to the G one. I have an Alienware M18 as well (which I will probably be getting rid of.) We will see. Keep up the good work.
thing is you really can't really do much anyways with those power limits because the charger is USB C and thus is capped at 130w. If it had a normal barrel charger that wouldn't be a problem, but there physically isn't any way to get more power to the device.
Scrap that, i see that i turned the names around 💀 The G14 has a 10 bit screen, and the Omen 14 has 8 bit. I'll put a disclaimer up HAHA, thanks for telling me :)

Yeah customer service is pretty shitty. Here we have 30 days money back guaranteed, so you can kinda test the laptop out fully before you buy it, but in other countries, if you have a defective unit, you're kinda screwed 🥲

Just remember to fully stress test it, and test it for any defects within the return period.
I've gotten unlucky with every laptop brand there is, so i dont think it's brand specific 🥲
what display is brighter? omen or zephyrus? Thanks!
They're identical in terms of max brightness :)
Love tht honest review and side by side comparison!
In terms of temperature, how hot/uncomfortable does the G14 get after awhile? I know all gaming laptops will get hot but does the G14 get exceptionally hot? Where are the hottest locations on the keyboard? Thanks!
It gets the hottest above the keyboard in the middle, but you shouldnt really touch that part anyways
The keyboard itself stays really cool, since the fans pull air through the keys on top. So it's actually really comfortable to keep your hands on it.
It only gets uncomfortable if you hold it on your lap while gaming, since the hot air gets blown out the back downwards, so your knees will get pretty warm after a while.
But in normal use, it never really gets uncomfortable :)
The omen has per key RGB option when you build one on their site
I bought the HP with the 4070 and 32 GB of RAM today for €1700, compared to the Asus which costs €2499. The Asus is better, but not enough to justify an extra €700. My 2 cents.
Great choice! That's a LOT of money for the G14 xd
Hello Crimson,
Is holand cheaper than Germany when you wanna buy Asus?
And what time do you think this machine gets cheaper? Where will you recommend me look for deals in holland ?
It's about the same in terms of prices, but keep in mind the german keyboard layout is slightly different than the Dutch/International one. German retailers may have more aggressive deals coming up though, so look out :o
This holiday is def the cheapest time for it, since RTX 50 GPUs are coming out in 2025, and laptops may follow.
In Holland it's probably the cheapest either from the official Asus webstore with a deal, or from Alternate.nl :)
Does all the 2024 models of zephyrus g14 have rgb..?
No, apparently some regional variants don't have RGB keyboards...
Men I love your videos they're great !! And this helps a lot keep going brother! ❤
Thank you very much! :D
Hi,
it seems like you did measure the G14 in the highest powerprofile, but with the Transcend 14 you didnt give it the additional 15W TGP powershare. This is enabled via the software under the performance presets "advanced settings". This gives the device a boost of around 20% in 3Dmark (10k gpu score) and gaming performance. The gap inbetween the T14 and the G14 should be around 10% then.
Oof, i did not know that. Thanks for telling me!
But damn, that should def be enabled by default xd
So he forgot +15 watt GPU
But still if he turn it on how much TGP can the gpu use? 65watt or 80 watt?
@@Azure_KilluX 65W is the TGP, without the powershare 50W.
zephyrus g14 2024 vs zenbook pro 14 oled (ux6404) who do you think will win?
The G14 has better build quality, and better performance
@@crimsontechyt thank you
The moment i saw "4070 (65W) vs 4070 (90W)", I knew all i needed to know.
Me too HAHA
Why would anyone buy the omen? Its usually more expensive, the Gpu is gimped, less port
But would you tell us some about the burn in problem with this OLED panel in g14 .. I think burn in is not a problem anymore in 2024 am I right ? (:
Yes, that's true.
Burn-in has mostly become a non-issue with modern devices, due to how many anti-burn in techniques are built-in to most high quality OLED displays made my Samsung and LG. Paired with the fact that this technology has been perfected in 10-15 years, and thorough testing, i wouldnt worry about it too much :)
I love your videos man! I hope you will become big because you deserve it!
Thank you! :D
Where are you getting those prices from? The HP is like 700 quid cheaper here!
Dude does this omen 14 not worth the price ?? I ordered it with 16gb 1tbssd RTX 4060 version price at 1775USD. I'm a casual gamer just needed a 14 inch laptop with oled display and a powerful graphic card (Basically beautiful display good build and alot of power which can handle heavy tasks) under 2000USD. Got my eyes on this one so i thought its a good laptop. Plus at bestbuy people were complaining about g14s thermal throttling that it turn off while gaming or performing heavy tasks So thats why picked omen over g14. There are all omen 14 sponsored reviews so im a bit confused right now should i cancel it and go with some other laptop considering MBP m3pro ik it will cost over 2000USD. Actually im a developer i do app development and never been to any mac device so didn't pick mac at first. I can't get it returned I asked someone who's coming from US to buy it for me so what i get I'll have to keep it and i don't want my single penny to be wasted on something that is not worth.
Laptops turning off while gaming is not normal, so the people experiencing that have defective devices (bad luck xd).
The Omen 14 is by no means a bad laptop, but the G14 2024 is simply better for the price.
I would NOT recommend getting a Macbook if you've never worked on MacOS, since learning it is a pain in the ass, and you'll be missing a lot of versatility if you change platforms.
Check out how much a 2024 G14 would cost for you. If it's around the same price (or cheaper), try to get that one.
The omen has a clearance sale right now for 1822 euro, but still not sure its worth it...
1822 is still too much imo
where you bought the black version of the G14?
Here in europe both models are readily available :)
Hey, I have a question regarding the HP omen transcend 14 - what is the max turbo boost can the ultra 7 get upto for just a single core performance, and also what temps does it get ?
I looked into the prime95 tests of omen T14 and it looks like it's turbo boosting only upto 3.3 GHz and reaching 98 c temps, and then it throttles back to 3 GHz and 71 c. This is kind of a dealbreaker for me but i believe the test is that it's running all 6 P cores to 3.3 GHz. Most of my work apppications mainly work on single core, and to have atleast 3.8 to 4 GHz for a smoother operation.
Does the intel ultra 7 turbo boost upto those clock speeds at single core ? While maintaining temps under 65-70 c ?
Hi, i dont have insight into the Ultra 7, since i only have the Ultra 9 model.
The tests you mentioned are indeed all-core loads, so it'll heat up very quickly, and will need to throttle to cool down.
On single core loads, it does keep its max boost frequency, which on the Ultra 9 is 5.0-5.1 GHz. On the ultra 7 this should be around 4.7-4.8
@@crimsontechyt so basically for ultra 9 on single core .. practically it is able to go upto 5 GHz .. that's awsome. But what about the temps ? Is it able to go to those speeds and still maintain under 65 c ?
In just CPU workloads, it does. But during gaming, it does heat up to around 85-90 degrees, like any gaming laptop.
@@crimsontechyt i have one more question .. how much ram does the windows 11 eat on omen 14 ?
It really depends on how much RAM the laptop comes with. If you have one with 16GB, Windows will use about 4-5GB. If you have 32GB, it will use around 5-6.
This is just Windows pre-allocating RAM, so it shouldn't be an issue unless you play VERY RAM intensive games (like Rust).
Awesome review. What was the song you used to test the audio?
Thank you! :)
The song is Sunset Drive - Future Joust
in my opinion i had the g14 for about 3 months and i had to return it becuase of how damn hot it would get i was playing valorant on low settings and for some reason i was getting 96 degrees celcius!
Assuming you were playing on a table, yeah those are WAY too high temps. Might've been a defective unit 🥲
@@crimsontechyt did you test valorant or any other games what did you get?
@@sh4ba I tested more demanding games that were both CPU and GPU intensive, and they're usually hovering around the 80-85 degrees max
@@crimsontechyt do you think a cooling pad would be good becuase i was just testing it again and i hit 96 lol
@sh4ba 96 really isnt normal for a CPU or GPU... 90 is the max that you should be expecting out of this, even if it's being choked
Great comparision, but the conclusion seems doesn't fit your obesrvation as they're all well-built laptops with different design, instead of only the perfomrance being compared. And the pricing, Idk if it's differed by location, OMEN seems chearper.
They're both definitely amazing laptops! But if the better laptop is cheaper and has better performance, there's no real reason to buy the other one
Great comparison! Are you selling either of these? My computer just went toast, so I'd gladly pay a deserving amount.
What do you mean by "supposedly" adds more cooling abilities. Does omen not cool properly ?
It definitely does! But it never uses all that overkill cooling, since the system is so bottlenecked by power limits.
It's a shame that such a nice cooling system is wasted with such bottlenecks.
@@crimsontechytwait so doesn’t that mean it cools even better than?? Sure it maybe underperforming but is it cool?
So if you live in Euro better take G14
But if you live in South East Asia
Think Twice
How about liquid metal?
In the future
Can you repaste liquid metal with asus left over liquid metal?
Or better purchase new one? Or repaste with carbon Thermal paste? if you planning to clean your fan?
Or can we cleaning asus fan without open the Heatpipe?
As i know, g14 doesn't have liquid metal. It is used only in 4080 and 4090 versions of g16
I just cannot understand why the silver g14 is not available in my country with 32gb ram and a 4070, hek its not even available with 32/ 4060..... I DONT UNDERSTAAAND
Asus' regional availability is very frustrating 🥲
I personally chose the transcend 14 because it was on a great deal.
I like the omen design...
So cute...
It is VERY good looking :D
No music during sound tests
It is noticeable than omen is noisier but tbh it will be quieter than g14 in performance task because of low power consumption
how about battery life ?
It's very similar to the G14, but just a little less
How would the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14" Oled compare to these?
I've been trying to get my hands on one, but they're kinda hard to come by around here, so I haven't been able to test it yet 🥲
Asus g14 has better build ,better speakers ,better performance ,better battery and better webcam+microphone which is underrated. yeah! g14 wins by a margin.
isn’t asus unreliable long term lately though?
@@dannyv3262 i have asus m16 (2021) model no repairs yet
great review!
Thank you! :)
can there any software to make the power consumption uncapped?
Can you please do a valorant game fps comparison for both when charging and while normal
HP is also full aluminum body; lid is not plastic.
It has an aluminum body, but with a plastic coating on top
@6:11 - I gotta understand how should users utilize those Monitor profiles exactly?
If most images/ videos we make - are consumed in phones + PC screens - then it should probably be set to sRGB no?
+But I heard G14 users also use it as some kind of trick to view the screen in a better way [maybe get rid of un-even lighting zones? I forgot the reason and which profile ppl use].....
I havent encountered a problem with lighting zones, so those might be defective units...
As for which color profile is the best, I just use Default, since it's the brightest. But DCIP3 is more aacurate. Of course it all depends on what color standard you use for content editing, but the options are there :)
I need more videos like this, thx
Great video 😊
Thank you! :D
@crimsontechyt I just bought the G14 a week ago and it has been great. I still have armory crate on it but I might switch it to the G one. I have an Alienware M18 as well (which I will probably be getting rid of.) We will see. Keep up the good work.
according to hp the gpu can go to 115 watts
Where did you read that?
now we need to see some overclocking for the HP Omen
thing is you really can't really do much anyways with those power limits because the charger is USB C and thus is capped at 130w. If it had a normal barrel charger that wouldn't be a problem, but there physically isn't any way to get more power to the device.
@@Polyeith can it be uncapped? espiecally with gan chargers now we can go bigger with power
@@dd4561 Doesn't seem like it can, The laptop only seems to work with certain chargers in the first place, seems like a physical restriction of sorts.
I think you should make more videos about rog g14 bro !
Haha i dont know if i have any ideas left for the G14, i've kinda done everything there is xd
Is the g14 display only 8 bit?
Yes, not that i noticed it before haha :)
@@crimsontechyt it just said 10 bit in the display tab you showed, so i was abit confused.
Scrap that, i see that i turned the names around 💀
The G14 has a 10 bit screen, and the Omen 14 has 8 bit.
I'll put a disclaimer up HAHA, thanks for telling me :)
In Indonesia g14 20% more expensive😢
And hp omen still new to preorder with same spec
Lets wait till hp omen discount
galau ya bro? wkwkwk.. G14 mihil bener
@@KalengSarden0911 iya kualitas asus di Indo markupnya Gila
HP juga lumayan Mark up
Tapi gw benci G14 karena Liquid metal (kedepannya repot karena gw suka repaste/ bersihin sendiri kipas2nya), bukan Vapor chamber, service center abal2, gak ada versi 2TB, LEDnyala2 dibelakang jadi Alay/jijik
Cuma slimnya G14 mantap, Build struktur juga kokoh udah ku gendong2 kesan benar2 mewah kalau dipegang dan terpenting drivernya dia Mantap jaug dibanding T14
T14 drivernya ampas kalau RAM gak 32GB bakal nangis gan nanti (gw ada HP omen jaman intel 8000 dengan GTX1070maxQ dan telah merasakan Kualitasnya serta aftersalesnya yang bagus di Indo)
Sedangkan After sales asus Suampah sekarang… sejak 2015++ makin huancur berantakan
@@Azure_KilluX gw jg punya pngalaman buruk krn pernah punya G14 2021 animatrix, duh cooling nya so bad banget, finally ganti ke omen 15. Skrg liat g14 2024 fan ada 3 y, cooling nya better kan bro? Gw masih bngung antara g14 atau T14, sempet malah kpikiran msi stealth 14 (krn ram nya upgradable dan harus nunggu yg 2024). Capek gendong² laptop gede skrg.
@@KalengSarden0911 cooling G14 tetap jelek tapi karena versi AMD dia cukup ok dibanding intel, tapi gak jamin bro kalau liquid metal , karena suatu saat kita mesti berishin kipasnya dan bersihin atau gantiin pasta dari GPUnya dan itu bisa potensi leak liquid metal
Untuk stealth 14 nasibnya juga sama keknya ssd 1 slot
Yang paling ku tunggu sebenarnya 2TB ssd gan (ram wajib 32GB dan OLED)
Karena kelamahan Omen ku gan itu response timenya yang kurang baik kalau main esport
Dan beratnya wkwkwk
Benar pingin punya yang 14 karena ringannya
Tapi gila harga2 nya sekarang
Diluar negri diskon sana sini (karena gak laku)
Di Indo malah harga maruk…
@@Azure_KilluX jd mnurut lu gmn bang bwt ambil yg 14" yg mana, biar jd masukan bwt gw jg nih, mumpung masih stay liat² kondisi pasar dan tren dollar yg cenderung naik 😮💨

the g14s sound is amazingly 3x better than the OH MAN!s speakers. I still prefer the g14 over any 14 inch gaming laptop (i dont want my mom to see flashy keys because i told her it's a "laptop for school" wink wink) and also the OH MANs fans are SO LOUD for christ sake
Almost better at everything for the almost same price hmmmmmm
G14 is even cheaper

i would like to get the g14 but im scared that if i had problems with the laptop and need to do rma the service center just dont give a damn bout it
Yeah customer service is pretty shitty. Here we have 30 days money back guaranteed, so you can kinda test the laptop out fully before you buy it, but in other countries, if you have a defective unit, you're kinda screwed 🥲
