WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.279 if you can only have one computer to do all of your stuff every single task that 00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:11.240 you need it would probably be this one the 00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:15.799 ASUS G14 before we look at the laptop let's have a little look at the charger 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:20.480 for Power we've got a 180 W power adapter that is delivered through the 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:22.600 ASUS slim powerjack TM this right here 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:26.320 is kind of like USB type-c but you can't plug USB type-c stuff into it that would 00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:30.199 be a bad time and it also delivers way more current which allows us to actually 00:00:28.119 --> 00:00:36.360 have higher efficiency through it so here is the brand new 2024 ASUS G14 now 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.480 you will see that we are missing the animatrix on the back which is a little 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.879 bit sad cuz I really like putting a line of sad face just on the back of my 00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:49.440 laptop but at the same time how much I'm actually going to miss it is almost zero 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.879 the io that we get is really quite good given the size of this thing so on the 00:00:51.199 --> 00:00:58.600 right hand side we have an SD card reader just a small one fulls sizee USB 00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:03.160 type A and A type c that does 10 gbit and DisplayPort left hand side we have 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:10.799 headphone microphone combo Jack another USB type A A type c fulls sizee HDMI 2.1 00:01:07.759 --> 00:01:13.000 and our little ASUS slim powerjack TM 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:18.600 seems pretty light pretty light for a 4070 at least what do you think this 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:24.640 seems riged around 00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:26.759 3.7 lb maybe o no 3.3 it is actually 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:34.079 lighter than I expected which is quite good oh we have the full aluminum body 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.360 for this year it's all CNC machine and I 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:41.159 have to say it looks absolutely fantastic this right here is like 00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:48.000 MacBook levels of quality this might be close to exceeding a Macbook quality 00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:51.399 let's see 14-in MacBook 14-in ASUS 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.159 oh that's pretty darn close the ASUS 00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:56.799 might even have the edge which is shocking before I turn this on I've 00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:02.600 heard that these will speak to you a little bit when they start up let's see 00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:06.119 wow that sounded just like a segue to this sponsor thanks to Zen market for 00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:09.800 sponsoring this video buying from overseas can be

all 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:16.920 right let's have a gander at how powerful this thing is so for the 00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:19.920 processor we have an AMD ryzen 9 8945 HS 00:03:16.920 --> 00:03:22.920 which has AI in it it's apparently the 00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:25.239 same as 7,000 but with some AI bolted on 00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:29.280 and really that's probably going to be really good for you in the future I feel 00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:34.200 like these sort of AI accelerators will not be super useful for a couple years 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:38.360 but will be the sort of thing where in 5 or 10 years it might be the difference 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:45.159 between this laptop running kind of well and just being awful for memory we have 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:47.680 32 GB of ddr5 6400 megat transfer per 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:57.200 second stuff in here a wd 1 TB SSD a mediatech Wi-Fi 6E chip can 00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:59.200 I get a boo Bo thank you I really do not 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.799 like mediatech I've had so many issues where I'm using an AMD laptop that has a 00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:07.280 mediate Tech Wi-Fi card in it and whenever I go between access points it's 00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:12.000 really bad for dropping out or just generally not being reliable I much 00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:15.760 prefer the Intel ones and if you can swap one of those into here I would 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:19.280 highly highly recommend it but we also have that's very controversial is the 00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:24.639 NVIDIA RTX 470 that's controversial because last 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:29.000 year's model had up to a 4090 and now a 4070 is as high as you can go in this 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:33.160 and I personally think that's totally fine I have have seen some people 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:37.199 complaining online but this is so much thinner and just generally more portable 00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:41.120 than last year's version that I think the tradeoff is quite good especially 00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:46.400 since you're not getting the performance of a 490 in this this cannot properly 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:52.280 cool a 490 like you can physically put it in here but why it's just going to be 00:04:49.039 --> 00:04:54.680 loud it's not going to be all of the 49s 00:04:52.280 --> 00:04:59.120 performance and I really like what ASUS has done here and just made the laptop 00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:03.560 smaller and put the GPU that people actually buy yeah or get mad at me down 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:09.400 below maybe you want the 490 by last year's and finally there's an AMD radon 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:13.840 780m that is just the integrated graphics and it allows us to do you know 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:17.199 normal integrated Graphics stuff I'm guessing no 00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:22.560 touchscreen yeah no touchcreen but oh well this is an incredible panel 00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:29.919 especially for a laptop of this size so it is OLED love to see that 2880 by 1800 00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:34.000 so that's sort of like your 1440p but stretch related vertically so you have 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:37.520 that 16 by10 which is just awesome because you can see so much extra 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:45.039 content when you're doing like web browsing working on videos photos words 00:05:42.840 --> 00:05:49.759 any of those now for the display you're going to want to configure your settings 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.120 because it does really change how well this panel is delivering the photons to 00:05:52.120 --> 00:06:01.240 your eyeballs so when the Armory crate here we go over to game visual now the 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:03.400 color gamut native right here is a vivid 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:08.080 profile and that is going to just sear your eyeballs with the most Vivid of 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:11.960 vivid colors now a lot of people do like that but if you want to do photo editing 00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:17.199 or just generally look at things how they were intended it has an average 00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:19.400 Delta e of 4.4 which is just not very 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:25.000 good the good news is though if we come in here go from native to just srgb and 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:30.120 apply that we now have a display that isn't quite as vibrant but it is able to 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:35.880 deliver those visuals to you with an average Delta e of 0.9 which is 00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:39.919 absolutely fantastic we expect below two for professional color work so this rate 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:44.280 here you can be doing professional color work and I don't know uploading your 00:06:42.520 --> 00:06:48.479 bestest pictures to Instagram that you've ever done now one thing that is 00:06:46.039 --> 00:06:52.560 unfortunate is that for whatever reason this laptop got really mad at the 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:58.080 software that we use to check the color accuracy of displays when it was in HDR 00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:03.520 so we were able to verify that it has a brightness of 6 100 nits in HDR which is 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:08.360 very impressive but we weren't able to verify if it is color accurate in HDR 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:13.599 that said though it looks really good in HDR we can tell you that much and given 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:17.840 its SDR performance we do imagine it is very very good we just cannot verify 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:23.879 that with anything other than our eyeballs last thing to talk about Hardware wise is the keyboard and the 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:29.120 trackpad and they are excellent I would give it a very solid a like if we look 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:33.360 right here keycap stability is excellent I can push push on the corner and get a 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:37.800 tiny bit of deflection but if I really press on it the whole key is going to 00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:43.240 actuate long before the corner of this key gets below the chassis also the 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.720 consistency from key to key fantastic 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:49.879 also below the keyboard we have this trackpad and it is excellent it's nice 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:55.199 and large really as big as they could get in here that was a very large Source 00:07:52.479 --> 00:08:01.159 bot on the previous G4S you were kind of giving up a good trackpad for having 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:04.759 like a 49 or whatever the heck now of course this is a gaming laptop so I want 00:08:03.039 --> 00:08:09.000 to make sure that you guys get a really good idea of how this works in the games 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:13.479 that you are definitely going to play starting and probably ending with crab 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:19.240 Champions so guess we've discovered one problem here uh 2880 by 1800 is pretty 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:26.680 strange normally if you have more of like a 1440p you would go for 2560 x600 00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:28.440 so this is a little bit larger and this 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:32.039 game does not support it lots of games probably don't support it really if they 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:35.880 just have a settings menu so that might be annoying at times that still looks 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:40.839 pretty darn good though first thing I'm noticing this Ola display looks 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:47.800 fantastic so we seem to be getting a pretty solid 110 to 130 00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:50.200 FPS okay the smoothness of this display 00:08:47.800 --> 00:08:55.200 is incredible and that's aided a lot by the fact that this has gsync now in our 00:08:52.560 --> 00:09:01.959 LT video we go into this in more depth but basically this panel is refreshing 00:08:57.680 --> 00:09:03.839 or more so updating 960 times every 00:09:01.959 --> 00:09:09.720 single second that allows you to get around the problems of changing how long 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:11.680 each pixel is on for it's always on 960 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:17.040 times per second and how many times you display each frame is how you get that 00:09:14.040 --> 00:09:19.600 gsync variable refresh rate instead of 00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:23.880 trying to like make each individual frame last a different amount of time 00:09:21.959 --> 00:09:30.720 besides crab game we try this out in a couple different games against Lenovo 00:09:25.959 --> 00:09:33.839 Legion slim 7i that has an I9 a 4070 and 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.959 32 GB of RAM so it's pretty comparable 00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:40.240 to this although it is larger so you would expect it to be a little bit 00:09:37.160 --> 00:09:43.800 better and it was I would say something 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:46.200 like 10% faster or so which is very 00:09:43.800 --> 00:09:52.399 impressive for the G14 given that it is significantly smaller and nearly as 00:09:48.760 --> 00:09:54.680 powerful so good job there ASUS okay how 00:09:52.399 --> 00:10:01.440 are the speakers in this that sounds very 00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:04.000 clear oh oh when ASUS was here they said 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:10.240 this might be the best sounding 14-in laptop and they might be 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:13.240 right all right let's compare it to the 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.240 HP 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:20.480 wow it's way better than the HP 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:23.000 dragonfly MacBook very few laptops get 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:26.480 to the MacBook stage of this test all right here's the ASUS zepis 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:32.079 G14 oh that's really close 00:10:32.079 --> 00:10:37.959 MacBook Pro 14 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:51.000 oh I think we can call that a tie the MacBook has a little bit more on the 00:10:48.040 --> 00:10:54.120 high end but I think that's more so just the target curve that they're going for 00:10:52.760 --> 00:10:58.839 you could probably get a little bit more trouble on this if you wanted to but 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:02.920 they're both loud they're both clear excellent jaw suus on this and finally 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:06.639 let's have a look at the webcam this thing is 1080p you guys remember when 00:11:05.079 --> 00:11:10.720 they used to not even have webcams on this thing that was stupid I'm glad they 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:15.560 changed that and this one's really really good look at that up here we also 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.959 have Windows hello facial recognition so you can get into it just using your face 00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:23.120 even that is getting a little bit confused but like fair enough there's 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:27.920 big bright lights right here and you can even see Andy 11 T6 screws later some of 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:32.079 which are different lengths so be careful we can get in side first thing 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:38.440 in here we have a 73w battery and our testing it was able 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:40.880 to get us a very impressive nearly 10 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:45.320 hours which for a gaming laptop particularly one with a 4070 is 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:49.320 incredibly impressive that's how you're able to have a laptop like this where I 00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:52.920 was saying if you can only have one computer buy this one that's what this 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:56.639 has that stands out against the competition like that slim 7 that we're 00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:00.519 were talking before that slim 7 got 4 hours and 45 minutes now if you do want 00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:04.920 to fully load this thing up with combuster for some reason on battery it 00:12:02.880 --> 00:12:10.440 does only get you an hour but at the same time just don't do that please here 00:12:08.079 --> 00:12:14.800 we can see our Wi-Fi card is replaceable which is excellent cuz you'll want to do 00:12:11.959 --> 00:12:19.839 that and we have our SSD over here one thing that's very very sad though is 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:24.120 that you cannot upgrade the RAM it is all soldered down on the old version you 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.240 had one sodm slot that you were able to swap in and out this one nothing couple 00:12:26.760 --> 00:12:32.160 more fun things to look at in here we have three fans they've got the little 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:37.279 one in the middle which is apparently great for your vrms and just keeping 00:12:34.680 --> 00:12:40.920 your temperatures down on the keyboard actually one thing that I didn't talk 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:46.160 about before but is very nice is that these do have a little bit to 00:12:42.959 --> 00:12:47.800 ventilation right through WD so your 00:12:46.160 --> 00:12:51.199 hands don't get too hot while you're gaming now this cooler compared to some 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:54.959 of the others that we have seen is not the most impressive but they are able to 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:59.639 overcome some of that by just simply using liquid metal on this and of course 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:04.560 finally the price this model that we have right here with 32 GB of RAM 00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:08.560 terabyte of storage and the 470 will cost you 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:16.320 $2,000 us now if you do want to spend a little bit less you can get a 4060 16 GB 00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:19.079 of RAM and a 1 tab SSD for $1,600 us 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:23.279 which is pretty good and it's also pretty darn close to the omen transcend 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:28.880 14 which we're going to be looking at very very soon it's on my desk right now 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.880 hit like get subscribe see you later
