Review on ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 Ryzen 9 16GB RAM RTX 2060 1TB SSD Moonlight White Gaming Laptop by Brett Slater

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great laptop with a few caveats

Great laptop, great CPU/GPU, memory, build quality. I can't comment too much on the out of the box experience as I installed Windows 10 Pro instead of Home and wiped the drive. Advantages: 1. Build quality. Excellent magnesium alloy body. Assembled well.2, CPU. Ryazan 9 4900HS is great performance, my main programs are running fine (AutoCAD, Dialux).3. gp The Novicia RTX2060 performs very well. Integrated AMD graphics also work very well for programs that don't use a separate GPU.4. Battery life. My other laptop is a 5 year old Asus Zenbook which is good but it's all about that in every way and one of them is great battery life. Disadvantages: 1. Packing weight. Even though the laptop weighs 3.5 pounds, the packaging weighed 10 pounds. I live in South America and work as a volunteer so shipping was expensive for me.2. Two GPUs are instructive in terms of controlling which programs use which. It seems that both the nVidia control panel and Windows have the means to do this, but I'm still learning how to do it. CPU clock speed. AutoCAD is not a very good multi-threaded application, so high clock speed means better performance. Therefore, for AutoCAD only, it is better to choose the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 or i9.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Big and chunky
