The Asus ROGZephyrusG142023 takes what was best about its predecessor and adds a mini-LED display. The Alienware x14R2 gets a gorgeous redesign. Who wins?
The 14-inch gaming laptop is an interesting proposition, offering more portability, but at the potential cost of gaming performance. Some machines manage that compromise better than others, and the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has been one of the better options.
Related The Alienware x14 R2 is a completely different animal in terms of its design. It’s sleek and svelte and gorgeous. It enjoys curved edges and a simplified chassis that comes across as classier and more elegant. As our reviewer put it, it’s as close to an XPS laptop as you’ll find in a gaming machine. It is, though, slightly larger than the Asus in width and depth while being incongruously both much thinner at 0.57 inches and heavier at 4.6 pounds.
Connectivity favors Alienware primarily because of its Thunderbolt 4 support. Due to the AMD chipset, you won’t find that on the Asus. Otherwise, they’re both well-stocked with ports. In terms of the GPU, we know that Asus will be packing in up to the RTX 4090, which will make it significantly faster than the Alienware with it’s maximum of a RTX 4060. So, gamers and creators, the ROG Zephyrus G14 is going to be the faster choice.
But Asus also offers a QHD+ mini-LED display running at 165Hz that will be incredibly bright at 600 nits . That brightness matters most for HDR, making the ROG Zephyrus G14 better for both HDR gaming and media consumption. It will likely be expensive, but it should be well worth it.
