@2the431 4 ай бұрын

I just wouldn't get this years. No replaceable ram, worse battery, and a OLED is not an "upgrade" compared to mini led, burn in and a reflective screen. I just hope next year they change it back up this seems very much a design over function change. Speaker upgrade and bigger track pad though is nice to see

Asus wasn't even on my radar until the 2022 G14 went on sale for $999 (6700S) a while ago, and never realized how much of a cult following it had/has. Fast forward a couple of years, and virtually all feedback was considered from customers and implemented. I ALMOST pulled the trigger on the Legion Slim 5 14" as an upgrade but boy am I glad I waited it out. This thing is gorgeous. And the only problem I have now is we have to wait.

I just got a 2024 G14 with the Ryzen 9 and the 4060 about a week ago, from Best Buy, for $1600. It’s played everything I’ve thrown at it flawlessly. It has a great RGB keyboard, excellent sound (good bass for laptop speakers) and the webcam look good (it should. It’s 1080p). So far it has exceeded my expectations in performance and also appearance. It’s a solid metal construction chassis (not plastic like so many others) and the white RGB lit keys against the silver chassis looks elegant. The OLED screen and available brightness level is amazing. Definitely happy with my purchase.

When it comes to reviewing OLED laptop displays, reviewers must besides burn-in also emphasize on pwm flickering, given latter is a huge downside for such displays, especially when employed in laptops where brightness is often set around or below 50% to extend battery life when unplugged.

@fidelisitor8953 4 ай бұрын

90% of people aren't sensitive to PWM flickering so it doesn't really do much to point it out.

@kostaskg4819 4 ай бұрын

That is a rather arbitrary statement (check your sources) but even so refers to max or close to max brightness. When dimmed, flickering becomes much more prevalent, especially at low levels, which considering we are referring to laptop panels is often the case. Moreover, different OLED panels have different flickering frequencies, meaning the effect varies. Say, if the frequency of PWM flickering is high enough (e.g. above 500Hz), the effect won’t be noticeable, however, many panels employ frequencies of 200-300Hz. There are rumors pointing towards panels utilizing frequencies of >1000Hz in the years to come, though this is not the case today.

I'm looking into converting a van and living in it full time. My current desktop is just not space efficient, and even if it was, the vibration caused by driving would not be good for the hardware. This is a very, VERY tempting solution to that problem. However, I would be sacrificing some performance as the laptop version of the 4090 is not really a 4090, it's like a 4080 in disguise, and my current desktop does have a 4090 in it. That being said, I'm very interested.

The G16 is the ultimate gaming laptop at the moment, it supports Dolby vision gaming and a peak brightness of 850 nits(HDR), for a laptop it is a unique achievement, I also expect them to be relatively visible outdoors even in sunny/cloudy areas, the G14 with the performance that an rtx 4070 offers I must say that with the frame generation(DLSS 3.5) it will be able to saturate the 2.8K panel at 120Hz while the G16 will offer more power for those who also need to work with video editing and 3D graphics, as soon as the SCAR 16 arrives and 18 can you compare them with these?

Im in love. if i can pick up the 14 for less than 2000€ with a 4060 (last years models go from around 2500€ and 2000€ on sale....) im finally splurging on a gaming laptop after 10 years of using the same macbook pro. I just cant get past the aluminium chasis, screen and touchpad of the macbook pro from 2013, but FINALLY a gaming laptop manufacturer has realised the importance in having solid feel and build quality. I was literally about to pick up the legion 5 slim 14 inch in a few days, which seemed like a solid choice, but now im going to wait to check prices for this one. With 3K OLED, 120hz, 16:10, freesync, amd chip, RGB keyboard for presumably good brightness options and not some weird 3 colour zone monstrosity from 2015, good ports, portability, aluminium unibody chasis, not a Razer designed mess for 3500€, this is going to fly off the shelves. Thank god manufacturers are finally listening to what people have been wanting out of gaming laptops for years.
