Cyberpunk 2077 running at FHD and Ray Tracing Medium graphics. Thermal performance is also great here and while the laptop did get warm, it never felt too hot. Some of the titles we tested at FHD included GTA V (90-120fps) and CyberPunk 2077 (50-55 fps on low graphics, 30 fps on ray-tracing medium graphics) and both the results and the experience was quite good. The 5000-series Ryzen 9 chip is blazing fast, while the RTX 3060 brings in support for DLSS and ray-tracing while packing enough power for the FHD/QHD screen.

There’s also an HDMI 2.0 port and a combined 3.5mm headphone port. This also means there are two ways to charge the laptop now, with the dedicated power port being the faster option.
I/O: The laptop features two USB 3.2 Type A ports and two USB 3.2 Type-C ports, one of which also supports DisplayPort 1.4 and USB power delivery, making this a pretty versatile I/O setup for a 14-inch machine. The compact keyboard here feels well-spaced and has good key travel too. The chiclet keyboard also only has white lighting and supports N-key rollover. However, the arrow keys feel small and oddly-placed, aesthetically making them look a little out-of-sync with the rest of the layout.

You also have minute controls over aspects like animation speed and font size, letting you to customise the back to your liking. The AniMe Matrix is as good as ever and lets users set it up to display anything from a virtual pet to custom animations, texts, system status and more. You also find that pure-gaming aspects like an RGB keyboard are missing, even though the angled vents are present, making this still look like a gaming machine, without being too loud. The weight of the laptop is about 1.6kgs, which is very light considering gaming laptops can often go above the 2kg mark. The AniMe Matrix on the back of the laptop in action. While we have the Eclipse Grey variant for review, the white one looks equally spectacular. The magnesium alloy chassis feels sturdy, even though there is some general flex to the keyboard and the lid. This includes an edgy design, the signature Asus ErgoLift hinge and specific gaming features like a larger spacebar, a dedicated shortcut key to Armoury Crate and a fingerprint-scanner-embedded power button.
Design: The Zephyrus G14 captures a lot that was good with last year’s model.
