PROS 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.
CONS Review configuration is a little pricey for an RTX 3060. Loud fans under load.
BOTTOM LINE 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.
When the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 first launched last year, we praised it for combining a 14-inch display (then rare among gaming laptops) with Nvidia GeForce RTX 20-Series power and AMD Ryzen processing at a sweet price. The updated 2021 G14 uses the same design but pumps things up to RTX 30-Series and newer Ryzen 5000 chips. Our test unit also includes a 1440p display and 32GB of memory, so the boosted price of our model isn’t as strong of a value as the original G14, but the entry-point configuration (which still features an RTX 3060) is an attractive proposition. Also, the market for 14-inch gaming laptops has expanded.
