it wasnt so much "planned obsolescence" as it was "really shoddy workmanship." something like 2/3 of the machines simply broke in various ways that made them unusable, all still within their warranty periods. ill stick with the plastic asus myself. ive had a few of their hotter laptops in the past, and theyve always been dead nuts stable long past their actual performance lifespan. hell, i just retired a 2nd gen i7 RoG laptop 2 months ago, and only because some physical damage happened to the board.

Kinda feels like the gaming laptop reviews for 2020 are all going: Budget gaming: If you save up a little more, you could buy a G14 instead of the one we're reviewing now. Mid-tier gaming: This is a solid laptop, but if you're willing to sacrifice screen size for portability, you can buy a G14. Premium gaming: This laptop is expensive but if you're willing to compromise a bit more, you could buy a G14 instead.

It's more the video card then the CPU. Yes, the CPU in the G14 is much faster, but in gaming it gets beat by much slower CPU's on a 1660 TI GPU (80w vs 65w GPU). So the CPU is very useful outside of gaming, but the GPU is really the decider for FPS.

It’s worth noting that the he Zephyrus G14 has a whole host of problems too. •The screen has a 40ms response time, making the 120Hz screen useless. •Soldered RAM, preventing upgrades. •It’s literally an oven. The temps are brutal, I’d be worried about longevity. It’s definitely better than the blade stealth, but I wouldn’t call it the laptop of the year as the video suggests
@geiers6013 3 жыл бұрын
@@Yxorm_com Temps up to 100° are fine, because laptop cpus are build for high temps, so no problem. It is a very good laptop, because the cpus beats all Intel laptop chips, while sucking far less power. If it had better gpu options it would be the most powerfull laptop.

@TheGoat Even if it's "low power" Max Q it still requires a ton of cooling because, guess what, it still has more power than the 1650ti. Also ASUS has an 8CORE cpu with HIGHER clock speed and at a lower price. How can you deny all of that?

One criticism I have of this review is that when testing the games, you guys recorded the gameplay. I personally think that most people won't be recording their gameplay and we shouldn't see the experience through the eyes of someone who does. I would rather see you guys test it and give your opinion without recording. Then record Broll after the segment is done to slot into the video. That way you get the best of both worlds, higher fps while reviewing and sexy b-roll for the video. Love you guys, keep up the good work.

Great review! The thing is, that afaik the Asus is only at that price point in the US. Here in Germany it is ~$2.500 or e.g. ~$2250 in the UK. Thus for many people a G14 can only be compared to a Razer Balde 15 or other gaming (ultra-)books for $2000 up to $2500. I'd love to see the Razer quality with an AMD CPU and with that maybe even a lower price. At the moment I just don't see a real competitor out there with the same premium build quality (yes I've read the stories of machines breaking after a few month and bad service, but I've never had problems with Razer products myself so far). But I guess you can find this for many if not all manufactureres. My father has 2 Surface prodcust and complains all the time, now has a Lenovo to and already had complaints there. I've worked for some time in retail and would never advice to by an Acer from what I've seen there. Asus had a really really bad customer service in Europe for a long time, mnight be better now but I didn't by anything from them after what I've experience persoanlly and with devices from customers. Lenove is only good with business devices/contracts (we have X1 Carbon at work, several broke but support&replacement was decent...build quqility though for a $2000+ machine is not that great...and I've had Thinkpad in the good old IBM days. That was build quality!. Best service/support experience so far I had with Dell, but just with screens I have from them. Might be different with laptops..
