ASUS has introduced the ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023), an AMD Zen 4 and RTX 40 series upgrade for the company s 14-inch gaming laptop. Offered with a choice of three displays, the new ROG Zephyrus G14 also has plenty of ports and up to 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, among other features.
An Asus Zephyrus G14 powered by the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS and Radeon RX 6800S has surfaced on Geekbench and PugetBench. In Geekbench CPU tests, the Ryzen 9 6900HS is found to offer decent leads over an average Ryzen 9 5900HS. The Ryzen 9 6900Hs and Radeon RX 6800S combination seems to augur well for creative workloads when compared to a ROG Flow Z13 powered by the Intel Core i9-12900H and Nvidia RTX 3080 despite constrained power limits.

Razer Blade Pro 17
If you’re going for the best, go big. Yes, there are faster 17-inchers, but I draw the line at dual humongous power bricks. (Doesn’t matter to you? Check out the Gigabyte Aorus 17X, Alienware Area-51m and other mammoth systems.) This Razer Blade Pro 17 is fast, but doesn’t sacrifice its svelte figure.
While we recommend getting this Blade Pro laptop with its 4K-resolution display option for creators, gamers will want to get the display with a 300Hz refresh rate that Razer offers for this model.
Ticker
The ROG Zephyrus G14 was one of the most-talked-about laptops of 2020, not least because its Ryzen 9 4900HS showed how far AMD had come with its mobile APUs. ASUS has now unveiled a new version of the ROG Zephyrus G14 at CES 2021, and it should improve upon the performance of last year s model.
The 14-inch gaming laptop has moved from Ryzen 4000 series APUs to AMD s new Ryzen 5000 series, which it announced today. Moreover, ASUS has adopted NVIDIA s Ampere architecture and has upgraded the ROG Zephyrus G14 to the GeForce RTX 3060. We should stress that ASUS has equipped the machine with the Max-P version of the GeForce RTX 3060, which should represent a significant performance increase from the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q found in last year s model.
