G14 for the win! Loving mine. The fact that it competes with these other ultra portables, while also being a gaming powerhouse should tell it all. The keyboard is superb, the speakers are superb, the screen is superb. The form factor is superb.
That is why I included it. The Omen 14 would be within a similar category, but I didn't get our sample in time, so it will be a separate review!
@NotebookcheckReviews How good is the G14 versus the Macbook Pro 14 in terms of build quality, speaker quality ?
the temperature is superb also, on my g14 i can cook eggs bruh
@@NotebookcheckReviews Omen 14 has too many compromises when it comes to performance.
It's superb!
brother u deserve more credit for this kind of quality video dude, keep up the good work pumping out these bangers and you'll be up there for sure, trust.
The 2024 g14 is truly an engineering miracle. It has 3K 120hz oled screen with Gsync and the incredible battery life along with one of the best speakers on a windows laptop and it's also so light at just 1.5kg being a gaming laptop . The 4060 config sells for $1600 and hopefully can be found for atleast $300-400 less on a good sale. It's just incredible.
I would say ppl should wait for a sale and then yes it's a great value.
@@alfredoaraujo9294 the youtubers are really advertising the 4070 variant which is just not worth it in my opinion because it costs over $2000 for just a gpu upgrade. The 4060 variant is incredible value even at $1600. A Sale would make it a steal deal
In the UK it’s really bad value unfortunately and I’m not sure why. I assume ASUS don’t want to sell any!
2400 usd in italy/europe for 4060 and 16 gb, this is not good
@@nukedragonx8682 man it really shows how much better US prices are. Like on sale i likely will be able to get the 4069 version for like 1400 dollars and the 4070 version on sale for 1700 dollars
Okay, at first i mentioned that i thought i was all in on this channel becoming very successful on KZhead but that i wanted to see more. I posted that comment a month ago. After watching each video since then, i am now convinced; it will not be long before this channel will be in the hundreds of thousands of subs, and will be at a million within four years.
Thank you so much for the video ❤
The glossy metal at the sides of the Yoga looks so luxurious 😭 Kinda wish they bring that to the Pro 9 series as well.
Agreed!
Just got a zenbook 14 oled and i looove it. Feels so premium and almost perfect in general.
Congrats to your new notebook!
which model and how much it cost ?
Thanks for the review. Short and informative 👌
Thanks for the kind words!
I have the zenbook and it is litterally perfection. no bugs, its extremely quiet, no hitching or stuttering, great speakers, beautiful oled display... its like a dream.
It is really solid daily driver!
I've been considering the Zenbook but I hear a lot about fan noise/ heating issues. Do you experience that much?
What about battery backup? Average how many hours it last ?
I have an old zen book 13 that I got in 2020, and the OLED still goes hard, no dead pixels and no screen burning
@@AncientBloggercpu heavy programs run fine Gpu heavy programs will ramp up ur fans and heat it to near unusable if it’s not lifted, I’ve had my wifi card burn once and the current one barely works if not plugged in, this is from the old model though where it doesn’t have as much lift from the bezels, but overall a really good laptop if u can get around the overheating, the OLED is also so bright and vibrant
I love this video! However, when it comes down to last year's Zenbook Pro 14" vs the 2024 G14, which do you think is the better buy? They have lots of similarities and even the TGP for their 4070s are the same.
could you include the constant load / sustained watt / performance tests in your videos? Thanks a lot for the reviews. Love the detailed reviews on the website!
Well, we have that information in our written reviews; I do not simply want to do a copy of those since I want to keep our videos a bit shorter and more easily "digestible" ;)
Greating from Uzbekistan!
I really like this comparison style video. I think it’ll help shoppers a lot who don’t really understand the pros and cons of different types of laptops. I think another version of this with a set $1500 price point would be great. A 16” gaming, 14” gaming, 16” creator, 14” creator, and 13” ultrabook comparisons. I think focused on things like build quality, performance, portability, and battery life. How much does the extra performance of a gaming laptop cost you in terms of portability and battery life. And just how much gaming can you get done on a Core Ultra or Ryzen APU ultrabook.
Very interesting ideas, thank you for your feedback! I will keep it in mind when planning the next videos!
Carrying a single Spectre with 32GB+2TB and ditching a similarly loaded Macbook Pro plus Ipad Pro is now a reality for the business traveller that flies regularly. Can't really consider that with the Asus but the 4070 is a big plus. The Mac setup is what I have currently.
There will be pros and cons for all setups ... the apple setup will give you the flexibility of two devices with amazing battery life, but its two devices. The spectre is a jack of all trades and a master of none, while the Asus will be the performance king-a tough choice!
@@NotebookcheckReviews Spectre 2024 32TB+2TB versus Mac Air & Mac Pro is the shootout you should consider doing for business travellers. Asus is a nice machine but business people worry about the support levels.
This is such a breath of fresh air. Thanks
Sure thing! Glad you enjoyed your time here with us! :)
Great video, and I think the conclusion is that premium thin and light Windows laptops have reached a quality level that gives consumers more choice and better products. I bought the 2024 G14 a few months ago and I use it for office work, gaming and some graphical work (video and photo editing) and it's been fantastic.
Can you do the same for 16inch premium as well?
Excellent analysis! Would you possiblly comment also on MSI stealth AI studio 14 2024? Everyone agrees G14 is a stunning and budget friendly 14" gaming laptop but I am undecisive between stealth ai studio and G14.. The bettary life of stealth seems very bad but despite that MSI seems to have better cooling, upgradability, wifi connectivitiy, and similar performance?
btw I heard the Spectre does not include a hub at all, only the pen unless its a review unit
the screen wobble was something I didn't think I could live with. I got the 2023 G14 (7940 and 4060) for $999 on sale at BB (600 off). I don't care that it's last year's model. The gpu has a higher tdp, I can add RAM later on and I'd much rather deal with a high end IPS screen than with OLED compromises. Yes, the 2024 is a beautiful machine - I just didn't think it was worth almost 1k more than what I managed to get last years model for on sale. (I can take all the money I saved and buy a better gpu for my desktop - lol) Excellent video as always.
Man, for $999, the 2023 model is an absolute steal.
I love your accent :) Thanks for the review too!
haha thank you!
Can you do 90w 4060 vs 90w 4070? Trying to decide between G14 and blade 14 4060 or 4070
Why did you leave out the XPS 14?
Great comparison!
Glad you think so Mate!
Could you please do same video for 16” laptops? I’m hesitating between XPS 16 / Zephyrus G16 / Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Thanks !!
Good ideo, but I might not have them all in the studio at the same time! But the XPS 16 will come soon!
Still X1 Carbon for me... But the G14 and Slim 7 look very appealing.
Awesome video! Can you do one for best 14" for gaming please 🙏
We just did the G14 vs. the Razer Blade 14: kzhead.info/sun/g8dwfNiNmXqJrWg/bejne.html The Omen 14 will be next!
Sir, why you not included samsung galaxy book 4 pro
Could have also included the 14 inch macbook pro.
I just got the ZenBook with the ultra I9 CPU and 32 ram this little machine is a beast, the G14 cost twice the price of the ZenBook,
Great review. Which you will think as the best 15”windows?
Well, there aren't that many 15" left in the wild. So maybe an XPS 15 if you are fine with last-gen and do not need a ton of performance. Or if you want something faster, XMG just announced an amazing 15", the Fusion 15!
Hey man, awesome videos and super informative! If you could answer my quick question, I'd greatly appreciate it. I picked up the 2024 Spectre 14" for $1,129 at Best Buy, super solid deal. I noticed the 2023 G14 is currently on sale for $999 as well. My question is should I get last year's G14 and return the Spectre, or did I get too good of a deal on the Spectre? Please give me your input, thanks!
That is a super good deal for both. What config is the G14?
@@NotebookcheckReviews Display: 165Hz QHD (2560x1440) CPU: Ryzen 9 7940HS GPU: RTX 4060 8GB VRAM RAM: 16GB DDR5 4800MHz SSD: 512GB PCIe 4.0 Here’s the SKU at Best Buy: 6535495. Appreciate the help as always.
@@NotebookcheckReviewsThe sale ended for the G14. I instantly provided the info that you asked for, but you didn’t respond. Now it’s back to $1599…
Yoga Slim 7 with 7640S/7840S is 1100€ here in Spain... :( Same price as the Zenbook 14. Spectre might not even be available here. So not sure what budget laptop there is for us ehre
Hello! I own ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED UX3404VA-M9015W. Aida64 shows a RAM latency of 160 ms, which is inadequately high. I am looking for the same owners to confirm or refute a factory “bug” or defect, although this does not affect the operation of the laptop at all.
The 2024 Zephrus G14 quality, elegance, high end gaming ability, OLED screen, graphics, RGB keyboard, sound, super thin bezels, lightweight, super thin all metal chassis all set it apart from the others.
where to get those wallpapers?
The Zenbook can also come with the latest amd processor (almost the same as last year's) for 999€ with 512 GB storage and 16gb of ram
You are right; they just announced the availability of that particular SKU.
Is Spectre good for designing. Planning to buy this. Could you please suggest me
Designing what? For Digital (UX) design is more than fine but for animation/ 3D rendering it will work but too slow. I got the spectre im a XU designer
what about the Yoga Slim 5 14 inch? Its so much cheaper and performs better in the gaming aspect while only weighing a little bit more than the others!
Are you talking about the Legion Slim 5 14? That one is a solid performer, but its a lot bulkier and does not really fit into this "lifestyle" every-day kinda notebook segment. It is a great contender in the 14" gaming laptop category, though!
Love the video quality. Regarding the video, I'm a big fan of the 2024 Asus Zenbook 14 and 2024 HP Spectre 360 for those not obsessed with gaming. The Asus ROG G14 for gaming. For those looking for discounts on the 2023 models, look into Asus Zenbook Pro 14x 6404, Lenovo ThinkPad T14s (AMD 7 7840U), or M2 MacBook Pro 14.
Thank you! :) And yes, I wonder what Asus has planned for the Zenbook Pro 14 refresh, it is such a solid notebook already!
90% sure my next laptop will be the Spectre. I don't need a GPU (I have a PS5 and Steamdeck for gaming) and I do like HP keyboards. The build looks to be the best and I love the feeling of a well made machine. Plus the 2in1 nature of it is actually useful when travelling - will use it as a tablet to just watch movies/series on a plane for example. Great video!
Then you will be very happy with the Spectre, that one simply feels amazing!
Recently bought and I am blown away by all its functions, the premium feel and its incredible speakers (just lacking in bass somewhat) but damn the device is near perfect. Go for it!
If only Lenovo hadn't killed the 14" Slim Pro for this year. I almost guarantee it's because they were getting roasted for the 14" being better than the 16". A satisfyingly thorough video as usual.
slim 5 14 gen 8 was released last August so maybe we can hope for a release, unless it is official that there wont be a gen 9?
I would throw in the Galaxy Book4 Pro and XPS 14, along with the obvious ultrabook King, the MB Air 13/15. There would still be no clear winner, as it is down to use cases and what is subjectively more important. We are at a point where even without the perfect laptop, there are multiple excellent choices, and it is a win for consumers.
XPS 14 is a disaster when compared to the others. Only advantage is a micro SD card reader. Asus Zenbook and HP Spectre 360 the best Windows laptops for prosumers in 2024. M3 Air is amazing too for iPhone owners.
HP Omen transcend 14 is missing in your comparison just to give the g14 a run for its money
It arrived too late :/ But the review is coming soon!
I'm in favor of the 4060 version of Zephyrus g14, but with only 16g of memory. Do I need to upgrade to 4070version? 1999usd will be a bit out of my budget.
What do you plan to do with it? The 4060 will perform all right, but 16 GB is a bit of a limiting factor if you want to get into heavier productivity or content creation, for example.
Pls make same for 16 inc, would be good to see that too
Already planning for it! :)
Thanks ❤
Always :)
Can you please create the same review for best 16 premium laptops with gpu?
Which ones would you like to see?
@@NotebookcheckReviews new asus g16, new lenovo slim 7i and their potential competitors
The Yoga Pro 9i for 2024 would also be a good candidate for this as well.
If you put price point aside, are xps 14 and 16 able to compete against these?
Still testing them, but I would say yes. If you do not want the fastest of them all, but rather a well rounded package that is absolutely beautiful ... I actually enjoy both a lot! The review will be out soon(-ish)
Thanks!
Oh my word, thank you so much!
@@NotebookcheckReviews I appreciate quality - This was very helpful

Lovely video🤗
Thank you 🤗
My choices: For my wifey ZenBook 14 155H/32GB/1TB (she is liking the OLED) for USD1,200. For myself HP EliteBook 835 G10 7840U/32GB/5G with Samsung 2TB 990 Pro, ~USD 1,650, running openSUSE Tumbleweed (all works out of box).
Solid selection!
What about Dell XPS 14 or some Latitude models?
Just finished shooting the XPS 14 video, and it will be up soon! I will see if I can get a review sample for the latitude!
Premium 14 inch without MacBook Pro 14, Razer Blade 14 (potentially Alienware X14r2)?
The most premium thing about the blade 14 is its price. I think the G14 is much better.(just my opinion...)
@@dilinaweragama Yeah, and that’s exactly why every premium-priced laptop should be included if you want to determine the best.
The idea for this video was to compare your premium "ultrabooks", and I included the G14 because of its ultrabook-like form factor. If we would do a 14" Gaming or Performance comparison video, we would, of course, talk about the Blade, a Macbook Pro 14, maybe the Legion Slim 5 14, and maybe even the Omen 14.
2:21 full name of game is?
i wouldn't call an ultra thin with 3 usb-c including TB4 'limited'. I would much prefer high bandwidth modern ports instead of usb-a
I guess that is a very personal choice, but since the Zenbook and the G14 offer both, the Slim 7 is a bit "limited" in that comparison. For almost everyone, just using this as a daily do-it-all 3 USB-C are probably more than good enough!
Just purchased the MacBook M3 24gb 1tb laptop! $1699.00😊
But did you also purchase an Orange?😊
What about Legion 5 slim 14 oled? Is that a bad choice?
Not at all if you are looking for a gaming/performance machine. I was just including the G14 because of its super slim form factor; the Legion is much bulkier in comparison.
@@NotebookcheckReviews Thank you for answering. Quick question, do you think I'll notice that the Lenovo 14’’ doesn't have G-Sync? I was between the ROG G14 (2023) or the Lenovo 14, but I feel I got the most for the money for the Lenovo and that it had oled. So i ordered Lenovo with 32gb/1tb.
watching this on spectre x360
Nice! I really liked that one, they nailed the look and feel part!
Planning to buy Spectre ... Do you find any faulty issues...Do you suggest buying this laptop or Macbookpro
@@syedmohdfaize7813 the laptop looks and feels really premium, the hinge although is very rigid but sometimes when I lift the laptop up in a hurry it just slips and opens upto 180°, sometimes its hard to open with one hand because you don't get the space to stick the finger and lift it up and for the touchscreen part which I thought would be useful to me(I have not yet felt the need of using the pen it's still in the box), personally it is not for me I really dont need it, battery life is very good, keyboard has a nice click, speakers are good, peformance is decent enough,the price is really for the premium built of the laptop, it is a very good day to day laptop and if you are not looking for specifically a 2 in 1 or not an artist you should go for g14 or a mac. I had the exact same confusion between mac and spectre, If I had a choice now I would change my spectre with the mac
@@syedmohdfaize7813 I bought the Spectre 14" with 1TB and the ultra 7 and absolutely love it
Good stuff
What about samsung books? Are they any good?
Ill get them soon!
Please review on 16 inches gaming laptop
Which ones would you like to see?
@@NotebookcheckReviews how the new asus g16 performs, especially the vapor chambers one (hope it doesnt have a high fan pitch sound since it doesnt have the 3rd litlle fan)
Also the 2024 Yoga Pro 9i please with Intel Ultra
@@NotebookcheckReviewsasus strix scar 16 please 😢
Can the Intel Arc integrated gpu run sketchup and autocad?
Do you have any updates on this ? Need a laptop for cad as well
@@muemmelil not yet. Still finding an answer also. I also tried looking in reddit
@@sandinopaulino5552 yeah I also looked into Reddit. I’m getting mixed feedback. Some say an integrated GPU is fine, but other say you need a dedicated GPU. I think I’ll buy the asus Zenbook 14 with the integrated GPU ext week and test it out. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just return it. if you’re a student like me, you’ll only need CAD for a couple semesters. if you buy a laptop with a dGPU your battery will not last that long. I want laptop which is in general fun to use is pleasant to work with (i.e. long lasting battery good speakers/display, etc.). So I think an iGPU will suffice. But when you have news let me please know 😁
@@muemmelil thanks man! Appreciate it. Found a local store in our place that has a demo unit of this, will be testing it next week also with a few work files. Both 2D and 3D files. Planning to use this laptop for mostly non-graphic intensive tasks, same as yours actually, but ill still be needing something powerful enough to do light and quick tasks on CAD/sketchup. Ill let you know what happens!
@@sandinopaulino5552 oh wow that’s nice to have. Here in Germany it is order only and there are no demo units available unfortunately. Please let me know how your results went
G14 all the way!
Guys, check out the Asus Vivobook 15 Pro...
The best is macbook air M3 dude !
Why not Blade 14?
I was trying to focus more on your typical "lifestyle" notebook, but the Blade is leaning a lot more toward the gaming/performance part of the market, in my opinion!
@@NotebookcheckReviews Blade 14 overshadows Zephyrus G14 in almost every aspect…if G14 was included then Blade 14 should’ve been too in my opinion. It’s almost 1.8 kilos, got clean minimalist aesthetics and 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut with 3ms screen response.
watching on my Zenbook duo 2024 xd
:D how do you like it?
I guess we just have to go to google and convert the battery time from minutes to hours 😅

Interesting, we did not have any problems, and we tested two different systems ...
Very good content, would you like to review our laptop accessories? Please let me know :)
U miss hp ornen 14 2024 😊
It came too late, but we did a full seperate video about it: kzhead.info/sun/frNtZryClndvnI0/bejne.html
sadly, none of these laptops can upgrade RAM
Yeah, that's a problem, especially for th Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, as that is locked to 32 GB at most, which may not be enough for some users, but that's the most you can get with it... The HP Spectre 14 would be my pick if I didn't need a dGPU or were doing ultrabook type tasks, followed by the Razer Blade 14 if I did.
The Core Ultra chip has LPDDR5X, which is not made in modular form. Most of us want the fastest and would not want downgraded RAM just for upgradeability. 32GB is enough for the vast majority of users.
@@andyH_England Mostly true, except not for creative users.
There's lenovo legion 5 14" with better value tho
Yes, but it is quite bit bigger, and not quite as premium as any of these. If I where to do a 14" gaming laptop roundup it would probably be the Legion Slim 5 14, Omen 14, Blade 14, and the ROG G14!
You can get an Asus Zenbook Pro 14 Oled Touch display loaded with a RTX4070, i9 13gen, 32gb DDR5 and a 1T SSD for $1600 (in the US). Why would you even bother considering this lineup at this price range??
In terms of chasis, keyboard performance/price Slim7 swipes the floor. G14 has more bass but slim7 sounds truest, the high prequency sound better on slim7. Easily the best window speaker so far. Slim7 is also has a 2 in 1 option and still the best in performance/price 1100$.
if it's not AMD it's not good
Sure
Hp
notebooks are trash. Samsung dex made weak laptops obsolete.
If you say so! ;)
@@NotebookcheckReviews think about it, the people I know would only use such note books for browsing the web at home and people who actually care would probably need something more powerful so a note book is simply just a less portable galaxy Tab S and a weaker laptop/PC
Just get the ASUS ROG G14 if video editing and gaming is your thing and you want a 14" laptop to do it on. Look into the 14" ASUS Zenbook Duo if you want a fancy dual screen feature. If you want a 14" laptop that can do a lot of batch processing and can edit ProRes videos, get a MacBook Pro with M3 Pro or M3 Max chips in it.
