Verdict: The MacBook Pro 14 M5 outperforms the Zephyrus G14 in CPU power, battery life, and display quality, scoring higher across most categories (per Geekbench and Apple specifications). While the Zephyrus offers a dedicated RTX 5070 for better gaming FPS (~60 FPS in modern titles per Notebookcheck), its modest battery life and lack of upgrade paths limit its overall appeal. For creators needing macOS and long‑term support, the MacBook is the clear winner.

Winner: MacBook Pro 14 M5

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 2025: 6.5/10
