ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2021) 14-inch (35.56 cms) QHD 120Hz, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS, RTX 3060 6GB Graphics, Gaming Laptop (16GB/1TB SSD/Office…

I’m writing this review after 2 months of using this device and I can tell you that I’m not disappointed at all. In fact, it still amazes me how they fit all that power in such a small laptop. I can multitask with ease, create and edit videos with ease, browse the internet with ease and the gaming experience is beautiful. With a 120Hz refresh rate screen, QHD, it really soothes the eye of the user. Smooth track pad and multiple connectivity ports are a blessing. Only thing missing is an inbuilt camera but ASUS adds an external 1080 P HD camera in the box so you don’t have to worry about purchasing it separately. Loving this experience and I think I’m sorted for at least a couple of years. Worth the money spent. GO FOR IT!

Besides the ludicrous Anime Matrix display, which is a tonne of fun, the laptop itself is incredible. The tiny 14″ ultrabook form factor belies the powerful hardware ASUS have managed to squeeze inside. The 3060 is capable of running almost anything on the brilliant WQHD display, and the Ryzen 9 seems to barely break a sweat on anything I’ve thrown at it. Note that the WQHD display is the differentiating factor in this particular listing.

I chose this because I prefer the little bit of extra real-estate that the higher resolution gives for productive work, but on the 14″ screen you will still want to enable DPI scaling. Also the 3060 will struggle to hit the max 120 Hz display on some high end games at the full 1440p resolution, so if gaming will be your primary activity for this laptop, you should probably go with the 1080p 144 Hz model instead.

The biggest concern I have is the amount of heat all this hardware is capable of generating, and while ASUS has done a great job with the bespoke cooling system, the laptop still gets crazy hot under intense loads, especially near the top strip above the function keys. So it is best not to play games with this little pocket rocket on your lap. The battery is quite decent, a bit underpowered for a ultraportable but it will get you through the day provided you don’t do anything intensive while on battery.

The laptop is very stylish and low-key for a gaming laptop (when the Anime Matrix is off, of course), which I like a lot. The white variant that I have reminds me of a macbook. It also comes with a neat pouch which seems to be splash resistant. The included camera is decent, but it’s a bit bulky and doesn’t fit in the pouch easily.

The price is high but that’s because you are buying something that shouldn’t exist: the power of a Strix Scar in the form factor of a Vivobook.

Overall, I love this laptop and it has given me no issues so far. Honestly couldn’t be happier.

I’ve been using this laptop for almost 2 months now and I still am amazed by its performance, i’ve never encountered a lag in this laptop. It has a fingerprint sensor in its power button. It offers a seamless gaming experience and top tier comfort for animation and other productive activities. Its anime matrix is what makes it unique from other laptops, its build is average for the reason it overheats (90c) where you can feel it on WSAD keys(its build material is good though, its solid and feels like a razor or macbook). it has limited usb ports and they are built on the right side of the laptop (left on most laptops) which makes gaming sessions uncomfortable (its still fine though (use a wireless, that solves it)). it comes with a laptop carry case which gives an upperhand on portability. albeit it doesn’t come with a mouse, it still is a excellent laptop. I’m happy to use this.
