The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (GA402 Series) is the 14-inch ultraportable gaming and creator laptop that ASUS shipped across two model years under the same GA402 code — the 2022 edition (AMD Ryzen 6000 "Zen 3+" with AMD Radeon RX 6700S/6800S graphics) and the 2023 edition (AMD Ryzen 7000 with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30/40-series graphics). Both share the same compact 16:10 chassis, the optional AniMe Matrix dot-LED lid, vapor-chamber cooling, and a 14-inch ROG Nebula display — which makes the two years easy to confuse when listing one for resale. The crucial difference is the GPU brand: 2022 is an all-AMD machine, while 2023 switched to NVIDIA RTX graphics, and that gap drives a large swing in value. Note too that the GA402 is not the newer GA403 (2024–2026), which uses a redesigned chassis with "Slash Lighting" instead of the AniMe Matrix lid, nor the older GA401 (2020–2021).

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have the Zephyrus G14 GA402 — and which year?
Check the regulatory label on the bottom panel for a model string beginning with GA402 (e.g., GA402RK, GA402XY, GA402NJ). The CPU and GPU reveal the year: a Ryzen 6000-series chip with an AMD Radeon RX 6700S/6800S GPU means the 2022 edition, while a Ryzen 7000-series chip with an NVIDIA RTX GPU means the 2023 edition. Don't confuse the GA402 with the newer GA403 (2024–2026), which dropped the AniMe Matrix lid for "Slash Lighting" and uses a different chassis, or the older GA401 (2020–2021). Our ASUS model-number guide walks through locating it in Windows and on the chassis.
02 Can I upgrade the RAM or storage, and does it affect resale value?
Partly. On the GA402, a portion of the DDR5 memory is soldered to the motherboard, and there's one open SO-DIMM slot for upgrades — so the maximum total is 24GB or 32GB depending on the on-board amount. Storage is flexible via a single M.2 PCIe 4.0 slot, accessible by removing the back panel. When you sell, just report the actual installed RAM and storage in the tool above; upgraded capacity can raise your quote.
03 Should I wipe my SSD or remove it before shipping?
We recommend backing up your personal files and game saves to an external drive or the cloud, then signing out of your Microsoft account and removing the device from Windows Hello before boxing it. You don't need to remove the M.2 SSD yourself — our intake team runs certified multi-pass data sanitation on every incoming drive. You can review the full process on our data erasure protocols page.
04 Which configurations raise my G14 trade-in value the most?
The GPU is the biggest value driver. Among 2023 NVIDIA models, an RTX 4090 or 4080 commands a far higher payout than an RTX 4050 or RTX 3050, and a 2023 NVIDIA unit generally values above a 2022 AMD-GPU one. The premium Mini LED "Nebula HDR" display is a notable value-add over the standard IPS panel, as are a Ryzen 9 CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The optional AniMe Matrix lid can also help.

05 How fast do I get paid, and can I sell several laptops at once?
Once your Zephyrus G14 reaches our lab and passes component testing, payment is approved within two business days. You can choose PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp, or a mailed paper check — and the prepaid, insured shipping label is completely free. If you're clearing out multiple gaming laptops or an office fleet, our bulk selling program can set up a single quote for the whole batch.
