Laptop AZ Program

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Laptop Z. Today, we have a special treat for you - the ASUS ZUS G14. After the previous video review, we felt the need to upgrade ourselves to match the beauty of this laptop. So, I've put on a stylish outfit just for you. Now, let's dive into the details of this amazing machine.

Laptop Specifications

The ASUS ZUS G14 is available in two different configurations. The first configuration features a Ryzen 7 7735HS processor paired with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 4050, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. This configuration is priced at over 27 million Dong. The Second configuration, which we will be reviewing today, comes with a Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 4060, 125W, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

Gaming Performance

Now, let's discuss the gaming performance of the ASUS ZUS G14. We have tested this laptop on a range of games, from popular eSports titles to AAA games. First, let's talk about CS2 and PUBG. CS2 is a highly popular game with a solid player base, and it performs exceptionally well on this laptop. The frame rates average around 200, reaching as high as 217, with settings at 2K and low. This laptop delivers smooth and stable gameplay, comparable to high-end gaming laptops like Acer or Legion. However, when compared to the same GTX 4060 found in other gaming laptops, the ASUS ZUS G14's performance falls slightly behind. Its frame rates in CS2 are lower, and it can't reach the same performance level as Intel i7 or Ryzen 7 processors in terms of FPS output.

Moving on to PUBG, it's a different story. PUBG is a more demanding Game, and the ASUS ZUS G14 handles it quite well. With settings at 2K and Ultra, the laptop achieves frame rates between 70 to 90, rarely surpassing 100. While it may not match the performance of top-tier gaming laptops like Legion or Slim 5, with their GTX 4060 140W, the ASUS ZUS G14 still offers a satisfying and stable gaming experience, consistently staying within the 70-90 frame rate range.

Thermal Performance

Now, let's talk about the thermal performance of the ASUS ZUS G14. During our tests, after playing CS2 and PUBG for 20-30 minutes, the CPU temperatures ranged from 75 to 80 degrees Celsius, reaching up to 85 to 90 degrees Celsius in PUBG. While some may consider these temperatures to be on the higher side, it's important to note that the ASUS ZUS G14 is a thin and light gaming laptop. Given its size and form factor, these temperatures are acceptable. Its cooling system does an impressive job, providing effective heat dissipation for extended gaming Sessions.

The Witcher 3 and Forza Horizon 5 Tests

Next, let's move on to the performance of the ASUS ZUS G14 in two popular AAA games - The Witcher 3 and Forza Horizon 5. With settings at 2K and Ultra, the laptop achieves frame rates between 70 to 80 in The Witcher 3. It's not able to reach the same level of performance as gaming laptops with more powerful GPUs, like the Legion 5 or Slim 5 with their GTX 4060 140W. However, considering the ASUS ZUS G14 is a lightweight and portable gaming laptop, the frame rates it delivers are quite impressive.

Keyboard and Fan Noise

Now, let's talk about the keyboard and fan noise of the ASUS ZUS G14. The keyboard surface of this laptop is very comfortable to use, and it doesn't heat up quickly, even after prolonged use. However, the cooling fans can be quite loud when gaming. If you're planning to use this laptop for gaming sessions, it's advisable to invest in an external keyboard and mouse to ensure optimal comfort.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the ASUS ZUS G14 is a fantastic gaming laptop that offers great performance in a portable form factor. It performs exceptionally well in popular eSports titles like CS2 and PUBG, delivering smooth gameplay and impressive frame rates. Although its performance may not match that of high-end gaming laptops, it compensates with its compact and lightweight design. The thermal performance is also commendable, considering its slim profile. If you're in the market for a gaming laptop that combines power and portability, the ASUS ZUS G14 is definitely worth considering.
