You are an absolute tool. You picked Nvidia sponsored games and then don't even show the other models in the 3d mark results because it makes Nvidia look bad.

I bought a 2022 Zephyrus g14 on black Friday sale for 1350 cad with 6800hs and 6700s. Added some ram and storage (24 gb from 16 and 2tb from 512gb) and I love it. A gaming laptop in a thin and light body

to fix the overheating issue, I suggest installing a clean version of windows 11, and then downloading the drivers needed, set battery limit to 99% in asus care, and using g helper instead of armory crate. solved most issues with this laptop!

@@natedagreat6704 That helps, although the 5 units I've tried (4 used, 1 new), before I finally found a good G14 (a used one), had a variety of different temperatures and turbo Wattage loads. One throttled pretty badly out of the box. Surprisingly the 'good condition' one I got last from Best Buy had reasonable backlight bleed at the hinges, only hit 92C max in turbo stress testing, and could undervolt further to hit a peak of 91C at 72W TDP, at 5GHz across all 16 threads when there's no GPU load. Amazing machine, and I am happy to finally get one that performs excellent. Just needed to rub a couple marks off the lid with alcohol. G-Helper is a must - excellent utility. I would have picked a Lenovo over this thing if it wasn't for G-Helper. I will say that only the first unit I got had a "new" battery - reported higher capacity than "designed capacity." All the rest came with 3% battery wear/decreased capacity, including the new one I had shipped in. Doesn't matter - this thing does 10 hours easily in lighter-weight productivity apps, with a 4-Watt idle load at half brightness.

Hey Jarrod, great review. I was wondering if you would choose this or the Zephyrus m16? I currently have the 2023 m16 with a 4080, but the battery life is a little disappointing. Best Buy currently has a 2023 G14 with a 4080 and wondering if that’s worth switching to. Thanks!

Great review as usual jarrod, do you think it’s worth it to buy g14 2023 version or get the 2022 version and maxing the configuration (like get 40gb of ram and 1Tb SSD)?

Would really like a Zenbook Pro 14 review as well. I have one and even though it's not advertised as a gaming laptop (it's par of their creator line I belive), the specs and dimensions are quite similar to a G14 4060 or 4060, but with a 600 nits OLED screen. The exterior is aluminium alloy I think, and it's very well build. Has a few advantages and some drawbacks as well, but I'd still love to see your take on it.

Great review as always Jarrod! I was so tempted to get one of these in but haven't found the time

Hey jarrod! Your reviews are awesome and full of detail! Do you think its better for me to get this laptop (if possible) or the lenovo legion 5 (2022/2023) as I need it for school/programming/gaming? Thanks!

Hey Jarod, thanks for the great review! Could you please share a link to memory bar you used to upgrade RAM?

Love your laptop reviews. Amazing detailed. Can you please add more Canadian links for your all your Canadian viewers. Thanks

Hey, when upgrading the zephyrus series' ram (because of the soldered stick), is it better to go single or dual rank? I have a G16 with 16gb 3200 cl22 single rank soldered on. What stick should i add for the best performance? I assume just adding another stick of 16 would be a good improvement as that would make the jump to dual channel? But should i go with single or dual rank 16gb 3200 cl22? or should i get a 32gb stick of dual rank?

Hey Jarrod did you have crackling audio (tested with KZread) when unplugging the laptop from power? I bought the 4090 and 4060 models but both had the issue and returned it for that reason. Some people on Reddit argue it's the wifi power saving settings but that fix didnt work for me

I got the 2022 G14 RX 6800S model. Super happy with it and I don't plan on replacing it any time soon. Just out of curiosity I checked the 2023 models with Nvidia's 4000 series GPU and compared to last year's models, this years models have idiotic prices...at least here in Eastern Europe. I genuinely feel bad for anyone who is in the market right now for these.

I just got the same laptop and I love it. Especially since I can undervolt cpu to -23 when playing games and this significantly improves performance. This improved cinebench scores by 1000 points. After updating the chipset drivers and the GPU drivers to AMD's, any heat issues I saw when out of the box completely disappeared. And it was very easy to do that.

Hello Jarrod I've been watching your channel for a long time now. This is my first comment on your channel, keep up the amazing work!

I was sitting here looking at getting the G14 with the 7940 and 4070 but can't seem to be able to find any tests on it. I was comparing my current g533 with the cyberpunk tests (5900/3080) and using the same settings I am getting 62.91 average at 1440, and 93.53 at 1080. I have also noticed every review/test i see do not even show a 3080. Is it due to it performing to well to show next to newer ti and 40 series?

great review! will you do the g16 as well?

@jarod The wrist rest vibration you mentioned is TRUE and in reality it's VERY irritating, even more if you put the laptop on your lap or legs, I feel the vibration all inside me, I'd do anything to get rid of it, and it's not just when playing music, even a video with speech only produce the same effect... I put a laptop cushion/pad underneath it, and I tried to play around with sound and decrease bass, but didn't reach a satisfying result. Let me know if you have any idea how we can fix this or at least alleviate it. Cheers.

I would love to see Jarrod taking a look at HP Omen 16 again. Last review was a couple of years ago.

Great review as always! Lenovo recently released their legion 5 slim with 7840HS, 4060 100W, and a 16” 16:10 1600p 165hz screen. The legion 7 slim AMD model is also on the way. Interestingly though the slim version of the legion 5/7 actually comes with more usb C ports than the legion 5/7 pro. Would u be testing these legion slim models to see how they compare to the smaller g14 with similar specs? Thanks

Hey Jarrod, your reviews are awesome, what do you think of Acer Nitro 16/17 2023, they come with better displays and 13th gen CPU, I think they are good for around 1000 -1100.

Was thinking of buying this over the MSI Stealth Blade due to ergonomics and the GPU power, but the worry came when you mentioned the USB-C Ports. I have a USB-C dock for a 165hz 2k monitor and other peripherals. You said the left USB-C is the only one to have up to 100w charging, but it was also the one that works with the integrated graphics. So when docked, I am not getting the benefit of the 4060 and charging from my dock (without an additional wire from the right port)? It would be great if you can confirm as this will confirm my decision between laptops. Thanks - and great video.

The 2022 is quite a good deal considering it has a similar build quality and great battery life for the price. I'm really tempted to get that model over the ZenBook Pro 14.

Hi! Thank you Jarrod bro for all your helps. Please help one more time. I am looking for Dell G16 for its good design and low price. But new Dell G16 has only intel i5&i7 HX CPU's. I have checked about them, why they dont have good iGPU? Even not normal? I want to work with iGPU for light works and use dGPU for only some 3D works or Android studio. To get more battery life. But HX's are worst in iGPU. Why? Can they run android studio perfectly? Or CSGO 1080p at 100fps?

Definitely gonna wait to see how the msi stealth 14 and razer blade 14 stack up. While the dual memory slots isn't a deal breaker since the G14 has 16gb on board it's still kinda sad they didn't follow in their foot steps. I would like to see the 4070 and 4080 version of G14 since the Blade 14 is once again more expensive than last years model. Plus I hear the 140w tdp is actually a lie. So I'll be waiting to hear you confirm that or not.

Even some displayport ports on some monitors don't do power delivery But I might still want to connect to a display like those, but not have time to plug in, or a power adapter handy, or an outlet nearby.
