I'm actually happy they didn't include the webcam, those webcams are not good, and also allow opportunity for spying. Waste of space and more of a nuisance. Even the cheapest webcam for $20 is better than laptop webcams.

The mid tier model is great out of the box, amazing performance for its price point ~$1450. It has been on sale for between $100-$200 off. To buy and upgrade the base model you are spending the money you saved and not getting the 120HZ on the display or the RTX. Mid tier was actually at $1200 this last week

How's the 40ms response time? How's the loud fans? Btw even if you maintain cool temperatures don't expect the laptop to last long because the ergolift design shoots hot air into the display damaging it over time. You should've got the Tracer Evo III 15 200 which costs 849 is a little bigger(15") and weighs 100 grams more. But it outperforms the G14 in games and has a better display (much better). It also has 9-10hrs of battery life. It costs less than half the amount the G14 costs and outperforms it in games lmfao.

Was cross-shopping this laptop and a bunch of similar ones (Lenovo Legion 5, Asus Tuf A15, Asus G14, Dell G15 SE, etc), ended up going with HP Omen 15 with very similar specs, but 2 serviceable SO-DIMM slots. Pretty awesome laptop for the first couple of weeks, runs cool and quiet, even though the fans never spin down %100. Not too heavy/bulky for a 15 inch laptop either. Worth a look!

It's really bad here's why: - Bad screen quality (gray-to-gray response time of ~21ms rise/fall, ~45fps of clear visuals with anything faster smearing) means g14 is a no-go for games that are relatively fast-paced - Poor font application means color contrast between key letter and keycap is almost nonexistent (in other words, you cannot clearly make out the letters at different viewing angles, brightness levels, etc.) - rtx 2060 with a tdp of only 65w which means even a 1660ti in a much cheaper laptop (such as the helios 300) can outperform it in most games - poorly designed cover (which may accumulate grime, dust, etc. and damage the build of the laptop) - storage upgrade options are relatively limited (just one m.2 ssd slot available) because of the smaller form factor - many more laptops can do better in bright environments than the g14 because of its dim display - Hinge-centered thermal management may cause screen damage in the long run due to hot air blowing onto it from the exhaust vents positioned on the top edge of the keyboard deck, near the hinges - Prominent, high-pitched fans affect its usability in quieter settings (such as in libraries, lecture halls, offices, coffee shops, etc.) even on idle (and especially under load)

@@ShehraanHafiz well it's not a premium for the brand, it's a premium because the closest thing to it is the Blade Stealth 13 which has a weaker GPU and CPU and is more expensive. If you want a small and portable gaming laptop, this is pretty much the only option minus the blade. Also, the cap of 24GB is only if you get the 8GB RAM model. If you get the 16GB one, you can go up to 40GB.

I love the little beast. I sold my Eurocom x9c with the 9900k and dual RTX 2080s for the G14 with the 120hz display , Ryzen 9 4900HS and Rtx 2060 model, I needed something a bit more portable since I work overseas and travel a ton. Minus the RTX 2060 , it keeps up with my old X9C as far as the cpu is concerned and the 2060 has zero issue with any game at ultra settings at 1080p. One cool thing I really like is that the display can easily set to 144hz while actually being a noticeable difference. RDR2 I average 70-88fps at ultra settings at 1080p which blows me away considering the size and low wattage of the G14. I could go on and on but apart from the keyboard i can say ASUS made and almost perfect portable gaming solution.

I got my wife and me the 16Gb Ryzen 9 models. Well, I only meant to buy one for me, but BestBuy accidentally sent me an extra and gave me a $50 credit, so I got two laptops for less than the price of one. And the one I got was a really good deal. It was like $300 cheaper than I could find it anywhere else with the same specs. I left hers stock, but upgraded mine to a 2TB NVMe, 40GB Ram and liquid metaled the APU and GPU. I've never had a laptop this small, excluding net books back in the day, and I love it. It makes me wonder why I ever used to prefer large laptops.

Thinkpad P1 (currently at Gen 3) has two user-serviceable DIMM slots and can be configured up to 64 GB ( I believe they can take up to 128 GB, but you might want to check with lenovo). Comes with Quadro T1000 or T2000 (both Turing), which won't game well, but will accelerate Premiere. The only downside is they are not available with Ryzen, but the T and E series laptops are available w Ryzen. Just be aware that the slim versions (eg T14s) have soldered-on RAM, and even the regular versions tend to have only 1 accessible DIMM socket.

I found the ryzen 9/2060/1tb/16Gb version on best buy for 1199.99. seems like a LOT of value for the $100 increase. I can't imagine she actually needs 64 gb of ram for video production/ graphics. Adobe will use that much ram if you have it, but even a modest increase in CPU between the ryzen 7 and the ryzen 9 will have a greater performance gain than extra ram on top of 40 GB. I assume the performance boost you saw between the two ram configs was mostly due to single vs double channel ram than actual capacity.

I'm having doubts in purchasing this laptop, I am concerned with its fan noise. Based on what I have read, it has a pretty loud fan noise even on idle, but I am not sure if it applies across all models. Can anyone share their experience on fan noise?

All gaming laptops have fan noise if you want to keep them cool, the g14 because of its size has louder than normal fan noise. But, if you're willing to do some tweaking, it is--imo--the best gaming laptop of 2020. The primary thing about this laptop is taming the insane CPU which is like a wild stallion that needs to be reigned in. Go to the G14 forums on reddit and look at the stickies for tips on how to keep this beast cool/more quiet.

I have a G14 with a 4900HS and 2060 Max-Q. At idle its really quiet. Armoury crate (the Asus ROG tuner app that comes pre-installed) says system acoustics is at 24.2 dBA. When under a load though it does get quite hot, so I set it to max fan speed which reports at 49.3 dBA. So all in all, very good acoustics.

Nice to see more AMD devices on the market. I still think it will take them a while to catch up on enterprise environments, as the previous generations were not exactly too reliable/versatile.

@@kushalraj93 - Bad screen quality (gray-to-gray response time of ~21ms rise/fall, ~45fps of clear visuals with anything faster smearing) means g14 is a no-go for games that are relatively fast-paced - Poor font application means color contrast between key letter and keycap is almost nonexistent (in other words, you cannot clearly make out the letters at different viewing angles, brightness levels, etc.) - rtx 2060 with a tdp of only 65w which means even a 1660ti in a much cheaper laptop (such as the helios 300) can outperform it in most games - poorly designed cover (which may accumulate grime, dust, etc. and damage the build of the laptop) - storage upgrade options are relatively limited (just one m.2 ssd slot available) because of the smaller form factor - many more laptops can do better in bright environments than the g14 because of its dim display - Hinge-centered thermal management may cause screen damage in the long run due to hot air blowing onto it from the exhaust vents positioned on the top edge of the keyboard deck, near the hinges - Prominent, high-pitched fans affect its usability in quieter settings (such as in libraries, lecture halls, offices, coffee shops, etc.) even on idle (and especially under load)

All true but no laptop is perfect. At this price point the G14 is the best in terms of the power it has and the cost it carries. I like to say it can game but it's not a proper gaming laptop no in the size and the form factor that is has. I opted for a 4800HS with just a 1650 for casual gaming and mostly office work. Those looking for competitive gaming and designing might want to look at at different machine. Those who aren't worried about the slow screen or don't need the highest accuracy screen, it's perfect for people like those, including me. Also the $799 price tag for the 4800HS + 1650 was just too good to pass up on. I think that justifies the shortcomings. Everything else that you mentioned, I think a low/medium power user and not a hardcore gamer/designer can live with. Except the holey lid. I plan to slap on a sticker/skin as soon as I get it. I hate holes. The idle fan sound issue should also be be fixable with a bit of a tweak as can be the battery life settings to get 10+ hours. One of the major reasons why I am getting a 'gaming' laptop for work. All things said I think a lot of people have a lot of good things to say about this but this isn't going to be one size fits all for everyone.

You know, a lot of people beat up on this laptop, mostly due to the lack of a camera. But can anyone else name a 14 inch or smaller laptop, that beats this one out in specs, AND can handle cooling its own hardware? Closest laptops to this one, in my mind is either the HP Omen 15, or the A15 from asus, as both offer a 1660ti. Which in most cases outperform the RTX 2060 max-q variants. But both of these are 15 inches, so I don’t feel like they really belong in this discussion.
