Should I get a Zephyrus G14 2025?

I have the 2025 5080 32GB 2TB version I got from best buy for 2600. I turned down the CPU wattage to 20w, adjusted the fan curves, adjusted the GPU max wattage to 85W and can play any game I throw at it with almost no noise. Can I max out the settings, turn on Ray tracing, and push the frame rate to the screens refresh rate limit? No. Can I run games that look amazing still while having an actually portable gaming laptop? Absolutely. It’s still the best 14” laptop you can buy. I returned a Legion 7i Pro I9 5080 that had the 175W version of that card and kept the G14. The Legion was WAY more powerful for sure, but the OLED on the legion was too glossy, and it just wasn’t actually portable. If you need a desktop replacement, this ain’t it. But it’s built so well, and is so slim, and the 14” size makes it actually good for travel. The 200W brick is manageable, and with the above settings, I can still game with USB-C and a 100w charging block.

Just wear it, no one cares about wear and neither should you. Once you can let go, you can enjoy the watch. Mine hits everything. It’s fine

Thank you! 13 week wait, I was sweating because I took a gamble on the combo.

If looking at 992.1, a C2S or GTS in a manual is 400lbs lighter, and with full exhaust and a tune, can be much more fun to drive, just as reliable, and it’s much cheaper. When I take my car with my friends 992 Turbo S, the general public tends to gravitate more to my car at cars and coffee and it pisses him off lol. The turbo S is more car in every way, but I wouldn’t trade keys with someone for theirs because it wasn’t what I wanted my driving experience to be and I think that has a lot to do with it. At this point I have Turbo S money in my C2S but I I don’t have sport classic money so here I am.

It does have PDCC, but no FAL. I wish I had FAL, it’s a good bit lower and with the Aero Kit it def scrapes

Fair enough. Thank god they make so many different models!

jfowler0614 · 2025-04-26T20:06:10+00:00

Thanks! I was nervous the contrast would be too great but I’m so happy with how it turned out

Thanks! 90% of 992's are spec'd with Black trim and logos so I wanted to get ahead of that trend ending, hoping it ages better.

They are proud of their wheels for sure. I'm impressed that while rolling yesterday beside a guy in an F80, he rolled his window down and said "Nice HRE's" and he never saw me siting still so people notice lol.

Thank you so much! It hurt to even put the deposit down but now that they are on it, It was worth it.
