To give you an idea of just how impressive this 3.5-pound, Ryzen 4000-based laptop is, you’re talking about a weight class that typically gives you lower-power CPUs and GPUs. Yet the G14 can hang in CPU performance with laptops that weigh 10 pounds.
Obviously the star of the show is the Ryzen 9 4900HS CPU, which we review in detail separately (go.pcworld.com/49hs). But the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 as a whole package is nearly as impressive, so keep reading to find out more.
Although our unit does not feature the Anime Matrix LED, it’s worth highlighting. Part of the lid essentially features embedded LEDs that let you scroll or flash messages on the laptop lid.
