ROG Zephyrus G14

I will sound like an asshole, but the majority of “issues” you are seeing on this sub are over exaggerated. Basically, you will see a few types of “issues”: Type 1: OMG, my laptop is reaching 80C, G14 sucks, Asus sucks. Well, your g14 is designed to run up to 95C without much throttling. If you want

Install ghelper. It will fix all your problems. Before uninstalling Asus Apps do an update then uninstall all the asus apps. Do a custom fan curve also. My zephyrus g14 2024 rtx 4060 16gb ram lasts for 5 to 6 hours on battery on light web browsing and documents

I've been daily driving Arch Linux on a 4060 G14 for over a year now and it's been great. Running Hyprland and using the nvidia-open-dkms. I recommend looking at the Asus ROG for Linux page as they have some helpful documentation for the G14. Have fun!

New driver seem to be incompatible with Ultimate mode . You can either downgrade driver (preferred) or exit Ultimate and just wait for an update form Nvidia.

For cybersec and home labs, I’d prioritize RAM and CPU over flashy gaming features. Honestly a ThinkPad, Dell XPS, or Zephyrus G14/G16 are hard to go wrong with. Aim for at least 16GB RAM, preferably 32GB if you’ll run VMs. Linux compatibility matters way more than RGB lights.

Setting the power limit to 60W does not mean that this is the max wattage that will get drawn. There's a lot of other stuff eating up wattage. 100W could be ok, but would require testing. Anyhow, charging with USB sucks on this device if you plan on staying connected after the battery is full. Only

I downloaded g helper and removed the asus software that came with it and now it works great. There’s a YouTube video about installing g helper just search up g14 g helper and it should pop up,also go get the updates for the bios and all the other stuff on the asus website by using your model name,

The comments got some great tips! although for the 2024 specifically, you do NOT need to remove the fans, wifi card, SSD, or anything else to get to the cooler. The cooler for the 2024 actually sits on TOP of the fans, so the process is very straightforward. This video is for a different model, but

Asus support is garbage, the Tuf A16 and Zephyrus G14 havent gotten bios/microcode security updates in some time or any of the ones they should've. They suffer usb4 issues that will never be resolved and are now both 2 generations old hardware wise. Dont buy Asus if you want support at all, the fram

Honestly its kinda 50/50.reliable Nvidia laptops will be out of your budget for sure but you might be able to find something with a 4050 for cheap or a 30 series. Additionally you might want to look for something about 3+ years old. I saw a post on Facebook Marketplace that was honestly a steal at 3
