Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022)

ASUS ROG Flow X13 (2023)

The ASUS ROG Flow X13 (2023) and the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022) are both thin and light gaming laptops. The X13 is better overall; it has a sturdier build, a higher refresh display with a faster response time, a better keyboard and webcam, and a faster CPU. Also, it doesn't get as hot or loud as the G14 under load. The X13 has more GPU configuration options and a proprietary port that lets you connect ASUS' ROG XG Mobile eGPU, giving you access to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU. On the other hand, the G14 has a longer battery life, and its RAM is user-upgradeable.
