Community Reviews

The Zephyrus G14 stands out as a compact gaming laptop with excellent build quality, a 3K OLED 120 hertz VRR display, and strong RTX 5080 performance for its size. The 5080 model is described as substantially faster than the 4070 version, with enough power for compressed local models and a promotional code for CONTROL Resonant adding extra value. The LPDDR memory is soldered, so the 32 gigabytes here are fixed, and the 5080 is said to deliver only modest gains over the 5070 Ti at this chassis power limit. A solid premium pick if you want top-tier portability and screen quality.

Common Questions (4)

  • No. The LPDDR memory in this G14 series is soldered, so the 32GB configuration is fixed and not user-upgradeable later.

    yinxzonVarmintCong

  • The RTX 5080 G14 is reported to be about 50% to 80% faster in games than the RTX 4070 version. It also has higher power headroom in this chassis, with manual mode capped at 120W versus 90W on the 4070 model.

    BlueDesk9616

  • The RTX 5070 Ti is described as the sweet spot for this chassis, with the RTX 5080 offering only a small performance gain when power-limited. The main reason to choose the 5080 is extra VRAM.

    xiaowang

  • Yes. The listing includes a promotional code for CONTROL Resonant, which is described as about a $60 value.

Anyone have any insight on which would be a better portable machine to use for local LLMs between this and the Asus ROG z13 Flow 64gb ($2099.99) & which may be a better buy (price to performance)?

Additional context - completely new to local LLMs & longtime Mac user switching to windows

I have the Z Flow with 128 gb of ram and can allocate 96 gb to LLMs. If you know the limitations of LLMs, you'll be happy with either device, IMO. I'd recommend trying both (maybe even open box if you can find it) and see which one you like because the tokens will probably be similar. FWIW, a tablet is not a laptop… and OLED is way better. Z Flow is perfect for me but I suspect most would prefer the traditional laptop.

You're going to need todo much more research to know WHICH and what LLMs you plan to use. Many of the tools out there much much faster with nvidia GPUs, and you can fit some good compressed models into the 16gb 5080 on this laptop. ALSO nvidia cuda is still easier for many many tools, requiring less setup and custom software setup like the AMD AI processors do. So, easier to run more stuff on nvidia, harder to run some stuff on AMD, some stuff runs fine on both. The 128gb rog flow will allow you to fit some larger models, but as mentioned many decent models of smaller size will run way faster on the 5080. I would not recommend this size $$ on EITHER of these laptops for AI / LLM until you are not "completely new" to local LLMs.

a quick search shows the G14 with 5080 is 50 - 80% faster in games. It's not just that the 5080 is faster (and with double the VRAM), but the maximum TDP under manual mode on the G14 is 120 watts vs 90 watts for the 4070. In fact the 5080 would continue to scale its performance upwards with more power all the way up to 175 watts, but (presumably for the compact and thin form factor) Asus has capped it on the G14. So, if you want a gaming notebook that gets the absolute best performance out of the 5080 you'd need to look elsewhere, but obviously this is quite good performance for a compact and thin notebook and the performance delta vs the 4070 model is substantial.

The build quality of these notebooks is about as good as it gets in terms of gaming PCs. If you want a discrete GPU and high refresh rate VRR display I don't know of any machine with better build quality.

I saw it go to 2k open box last week, so it might be worth it to check for any open boxes

This comes with a promotional code for CONTROL Resonant too, if that tips the scales for anybody to pull the trigger. $60 value there if the game's your cup of tea.
