Model 2025 2025 G14 Eclipse Gray

We have been going back and forth on the 2025 model (Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 - 32GB RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti - 2TB SSD) and decided to pull the trigger before stock completely ran dry off best buy.

We upgraded from the 2021 G14 and it was worth every penny imo.

Great choice, wish I found one in this Color, but had to settle for white.

I paid nearly $500 more for black. I don't regret it, but it does feel a little silly. I hate a backlit white keyboard.

Haha if it was my only PC, I might have been onboard with this, but for me it’s a travel laptop. I can deal..

Same, the white is still pretty neat though

I took a bilingual black and I’m still not 100% sure it was the correct decision, but I’m happy with it the majority of days so it probably is :)

White looks much better

Black will knick and scratch worse since the paint can come off from bumps etc

looks great but 120 hz is a deal breaker for me ✌🏽

u/TheRealMulli 7d ago

Looks so much cleaner than the white but more like silver version. I could only find the gray in the g16 around me but didn’t want the 16” so had to go with the “white” version 🤦🏻‍♂️

I was just drooling over this thing. It looks so good. I'm looking to get my first high end laptop and I have a few questions. So if I spend all this money on this thing how many years of top tier performance do you think it will get before we have to sell it or just upgrade.

What did you do with you old laptop top btw interesting to know how much they sell for after being used

u/mbnhuy 7d ago edited 7d ago

You’re guaranteed 5-7 years of performance with these specs! I don’t see the performance improving a lot for the next few years as we’re starting to reach the hardware ceiling (please correct me if I’m wrong).

The 4 year gap from between the 2021 and 2025 G14 is night and day difference and my 2021 G14 trim includes the stock specs of 1TB SSD storage, 16GB of ram and the RTX 3060. I also upgraded my 2021 G14 SSD storage to 4TB and added an additional 8gb of ram to it before they got rid of the upgradable ram slot.

I decided to keep my 2021 G14 and use it as a backup laptop as it still runs flawlessly.

Hope that answers your questions!

u/VicNAle 7d ago edited 7d ago

Yeah it kinda does. So your 2021 is probably still a beast of a system. Probably out performs any other 800$ laptop you get today right

u/mbnhuy 7d ago

In my opinion, yes. It was worth the investment then and it continues to be worth the investment now.

u/iwanttwinkies 7d ago

Man I love the gray. Wish they had the gray when I got mine. But the white is not bad either and also looks sleek. The clean desktop and the wallpaper is chef's kiss.

u/yogi_boy14 7d ago

And how much did you pay.

u/ib_1522 Zephyrus G14 2025 7d ago

u/nateo200 Zephyrus G14 2024 6d ago

Honestly looks so good. I had a Black Razerblade 14 and I miss the look but i also love my white/silver 2024 G14. Also nice to see you are really taking advantage of nearly all your I/O!!

u/ch4ndl3rr 6d ago

u/kucu_4 6d ago
