Pros and Cons

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401

Strengths

The updated version of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA-401 has some interesting new things under the hood like AMD Zen3 CPUs and NVIDIA Ampere GPUs, so powerful hardware that is fitted in a shell of a compact 14-incher.
The build quality is very good, with an aluminum lid and magnesium alloy base.
The design of the laptop is distinctive, with an optional Anime Matrix feature that shows custom animations.
The device feels like a compact piece of hardware, weighing only 1.6 kilograms and measuring just 17.9 to 19.9 millimeters thick.

Weaknesses

There are only two USB Type-A ports available, which may be a limitation for some users.
The laptop's cooling system is shared with the GPU and CPU, which may lead to thermal throttling in intense gaming sessions.
The maximum possible memory configuration is limited to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, which may not be sufficient for power users.
The storage option is limited to a single M.2 PCIe NVMe drive, which may not provide enough storage space for some users.
There is no PWM across all brightness levels on the QHD display, but it's not mentioned if this affects gaming performance.
The laptop's predecessor had five heat pipes, and while the new unit has an improved cooling system, it's still a concern in intense gaming sessions.
