ASUS Zephyrus G14 review: Ultraportable gaming done right

The Zephyrus G14 has everything we'd want in an ultraportable gaming laptop: it's lightweight, powerful and lasts nearly 13 hours on battery. It's so good, you won't mind that it doesn't have a webcam.

Lightweight and solid build ; Powerful CPU and GPU ; Great keyboard for gaming ; Faster 120Hz monitor ; Best-in-class battery life

No webcam ; Keyboard is a bit cramped for typing

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review: AMD drops the mic

A 14-inch gaming laptop? Really? AMD's new Ryzen 4000 processors make the Zephyrus G14 the most powerful and portable gaming laptop that you can buy right now.

Excellent gaming machine ; Thin, small, and light ; Game-changing CPU performance ; Responsive touchpad ; Unique lid design

Noisy at idle ; Mushy keyboard ; No webcam

Asus Rog Zephyrus G14

This gaming laptop combines the display of your rich friend's TV and the chassis of a Macbook Air with a powerful graphics card and a beefy battery.

Stunning 3K OLED display. RTX 4060 gets solid performance in AAA games and is upgradeable to 4070. All-day battery life for normal work and a few hours for running graphics-heavy games. Reasonably priced for a gaming laptop.

The 14-inch chassis may be small for some. Charges slowly via USB-C; needs proprietary charger to stay recharged while running games. Some games struggle to reach the full 120 fps the display is capable of.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2021) review: cut by the Blade

Still great, but no longer a standout.

Great battery life ; Speedy Ryzen 9 processor ; Good keyboard and touchpad ; Solid audio

No webcam ; Pricey for an RTX 3060 ; Gets quite hot during gaming

Asus has refreshed its fantastic ROG Zephyrus G14, with Nvidia’s RTX 3060 and AMD’s Ryzen 9 5900HS. It’s still a great device, but it’s no longer the absolute best.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2021) Review

AMD Ryzen 9 processor is blazing fast ; Solid 60fps-plus gaming across genres ; Impressively configured with 32GB of memory, 1TB SSD, and a 1440p screen ; Sharp styling in compact 14-inch chassis ; 120Hz display refresh for competitive multiplayer games

Review configuration is a little pricey for an RTX 3060 ; Loud fans under load ; No webcam

No longer alone in its class, the 2021 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 remains an attractive, compact 14-inch gaming machine, now equipped with faster GeForce RTX 30-Series and AMD Ryzen 9 components.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 AniMe Matrix Preview

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 AniMe Matrix is a fun spin on an excellent gaming notebook, adding a customizable, dynamic LED grid to the laptop's lid. You've never seen anything like it, though the added cost dampens some of the “best value” mojo of the...

Higher price tag diminishes original’s great value ; Swaps 1080p and 140Hz display for 1440p and 60Hz, which is worse for gaming

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review: AMD has rewritten the rules

AMD finally challenges Intel for the gaming gold.

Demanding games are playable ; Sleek retro vibe ; Comfortable touchpad and keyboard ; Strong battery life for productivity

No webcam ; 16:9 aspect ratio is cumbersome for productivity ; CPU gets hot

Add it all up, and there are five mandatory agreements and 13 optional ones.

Test Dali iO-6 und iO-4 - Geglückter Startschuss

Mit dem iO-6 und dem iO-4 bringt der dänische Audiospezialist Dali seine ersten Bluetooth-Around-Ear-Kopfhörer auf den Markt, die klanglich begeistern können.

sehr guter Klang

nicht gerade ein Schnäppchen

Beim Klang lässt der Audio-Spezialist Dali sein ganzes Können aufblitzen und bringt mit den iO-4 und dem iO-6 zwei der heute absolut besten Bluetooth-Around-Ear-Kopfhörer auf den Markt. Zu loben sind zudem die Verarbeitung und der Tragekomfort.
