Note that this is not at all the case with the regular work you would want to do on the Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker Edition. Eventually, the device starts to show signs of heating as well. The fans make excessive noise while running at peak, which constantly makes you wonder if everything's alright with the system. Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker Edition: The Average Cooling systemĪs soon as you run any of the games mentioned above, the heat dissipation within the laptop starts to go overboard.
This brings us to another point of trouble on the Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker Edition - its heat management system. I managed to play CS:GO, Iron Blade, and I, Gladiator on the laptop and these games ran without any hiccups. The Xbox app would get stuck at times, and the game, even after the updates, took too long to load. The machine took way too much time to run the updates. PS - Windows 11 was also available for the laptop. Due to compatibility issues, I had to install all the available and optional updates for the Windows 10 Home running on the Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker Edition.
I experienced these while playing Age of Empires 4, the game that launched only last week. Strangely, while it was a beast in action at some points, it did have its moments wherein it would simply take a lot of time to execute a simple action, in short - lags. I expected the same from the laptop during my use. Now, to be honest, this amalgamation looks more than capable of meeting any sort of processing demands. Memory offerings include a 16GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB SSD, while the graphics are taken care of by NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics chip. PerformanceĪsus ROG Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker Edition is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS processor, a top-tier gaming chipset with eight cores and a fast clock speed of up to 4.6 GHz. Collectively, these are able to provide a good immersive sound experience that is clear and loud enough for all purposes. Correspondingly, there are speakers right below them too, that give off surround sound from the lower end. The speakers on the laptop are placed towards you on either side of the keyboard. Though if you are accustomed to gaming laptops, you might have seen a better display, even at a lower cost. The display features a 120Hz refresh rate for gaming, which is enough to run most fps games smoothly. The bezel can get scratched very easily, though, and you would want to be careful even with your nails. The display is practical and gives you a confident feeling of being a rugged one. An anti-glare panel also helps in lighting conditions. The display is colourful and bright enough to use in daylight with its 300nits brightness. A WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) display on the ROG Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker Edition is a perfect fit for its size of 14-inch when measured diagonally.
