Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Razer Blade 14 to be very good for general use, while the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 is good.
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 offers a robust AMD Ryzen 9 CPU and ample RAM for efficient multitasking, paired with a high-quality screen making it ideal for general use; although, it's slightly heavier and bulkier which may affect portability when compared to the more compact Razer Blade 14, which also boasts a powerful AMD Ryzen 9 processor and equivalent memory, but stands out with its superior portability and equally impressive display quality. Both laptops provide long battery life and adequate storage, with quality keyboards and speakers, but the Razer Blade may offer a slight edge in speaker and heat management quality, making it a solid contender for users prioritizing mobility and long use without the noise or heat discomfort.

Florian Glaser | February 2021
"As long as you're aware of the fact that the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop version can only unfold its potential to a limited extent due to Asus's low TDP setting and that it can be slower than a fast RTX 3070 laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503Q cuts a fine figure. One of the biggest highlights turns out to be the WQHD panel, since it attracts customers with 165 Hz, relatively fast response times, FreeSync, and good color-space coverage. Other selling points are the surprisingly rich sound, the long battery life, and the sleek design. In terms of looks, the white edition stands out nicely from the competition."

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
