Review Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 Review: AMD Ryzen 6800HS and Radeon RX 6800S Together

[Admin]

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is a sleek, all-AMD gaming laptop with long battery life and, finally, a webcam. Its components however, don't always match up to competitors from Intel and Nvidia.

Dang no HDMI 2.1!!!! I would buy it ASAP.

C'mon Asus! This makes no sense in 2022.

Also the pricing is no longer a bargain. You might as just grab a Razor Blade 14 which I might do during Black Friday

One of the best features of the Ryzen 6000 is USB 4, completely absent, Asus, you need to do better.

Other than the fact it looks sick it's kind of a failure. Loses to older laptops, terrible port choices, the keyboard area has hotspots?

Hey editor, the link for the Amazon page in the article links to last year's model with a Ryzen 4000 series and a GTX 1650.

The Republic of Miners and Scalpers (ROMS) strikes gold again! Another portable mining option from your friends at ASUS. Just put it in tent mode and watch it print money! You'll pay off that overpriced purchase cost in no time!

Seriously though, too many compromises and omissions for this to be a serious performance laptop. Missing features/standards and thermal management issues hurt this product.

232 nits screen? that is really bad. (and the gpu is disappointing too...) But a diffrent (also reliable) website tested the model (QHD/120Hz, R6800S for 2,499.99$) and said the screen is very bright (515 nits). Who is wrong?

The specs look great, but a 14" screen is a dealbreaker for me. And the animated LEDs look pretty dumb.

The brightness level of the monitor is really bad. For a higher end laptop, this is a big misstep in my opinion. While the Zen3+ CPU is not expected to bring significant improvement to the table, but the improvement in battery life is always good to have. I feel the APU by itself with the RDNA2 iGPU may be good as a light gaming machine even without the dGPU.

extremely confused by this review - every other review ive read or seen (22 model) contradicts a lot of the points of this review - for example every review highlights how great and bright the screen is and measures much higher brightness and also color accuracy...so did you get a defective screen on your model or whats going on?

yea im really confused, all other reviews highlight how good and bright the screen is and rate it also much better

You must have gotten a review unit with a bad screen. Other reviews are saying it is around 500 nits with very good color accuracy. I would definitely reach out to ASUS about that and then revisit the review as warranted.

Edit: Actually, did you maybe run the test with AMD Vari-bright enabled?

That battery life, damn!
