This open box Zephyrus G14 stands out as a thin 14 inch OLED gaming laptop with strong portability, bright and color accurate 3K 120Hz display, RTX 5060 graphics, Wi Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. The build quality and premium form factor draw praise, and the USB C DisplayPort output helps offset the lack of a full size display port. The main drawbacks are soldered 16GB RAM, which cannot be upgraded, no number pad, and open box warranty and accessory completeness concerns. Fan noise can get very loud under load, making it a compact but not quiet gaming machine.
buyers shopping open-box who want OLED plus a strong GPU for light gaming because commenters say the OLED is bright/color-accurate and that the RTX 5060 is sufficient for light gaming at the ~$900-$1k price range.
home users who don't need a dedicated number pad because commenters note you won't find a dedicated number pad on a 14-inch laptop, so the lack of one won't be a dealbreaker for that use case.
travelers who want a 14-inch gaming laptop because a 14 inch is described as a portability sweet spot for using and traveling more than a 16-inch model.
people who are specifically buying open-box and worry about tampering because one commenter says soldered RAM reduces the risk that someone stole RAM sticks before returning the unit.
buyers who need Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 in a thin laptop because commenters point to that feature combo as evidence it isn't using bottom-tier components.
gamers who want upgradeable memory because multiple commenters say the 16GB RAM is soldered/non-upgradeable and "kills" the deal for them.
people who run heavier workloads or expect more than 16GB because commenters say "16gb just isn't enough" for their needs and that 16GB is short for today.
buyers who want long warranty coverage on an open-box ASUS because commenters warn ASUS open-box is treated like refurb with only about a 90-day warranty (and advise verifying).
buyers who expect the RTX 5060 to meet gaming expectations because one commenter questions the "good enough for light gaming" claim and implies it may not perform as expected for gaming.
buyers who rely on a standard full-size DisplayPort because one commenter says "No display port kills this deal," even though they later clarify it's available via USB‑C.
people who are sensitive to fan noise because one commenter says the fan is very loud (compared to a Dyson vacuum) during gameplay.

As for quality, many complain about the hinge being poor/creaky (which they allegedly improved with the upcoming 2026 model), and some have reported their units going awry/crapping out within a year of ownership, which ends up with them having to deal with Asus.
I briefly had this laptop for a bit (and enjoyed it), but ended up returning once I experienced how underwhelming 8 gb VRAM was with modern games. I have since gotten an Asus ROG G700 pre-built PC, which I hope will give me less problems/meet my needs. I would have waited to see how the 2026 models turned out, but was worried about price increases.
I purchased twice from BestBuy, a "fair" one had no charger,
and a "good" one came with charger but no original box.
