@@RANDOMEFACTS-st2ve hey I appreciate it. Thank you. I’ll get there. More content coming soon!

@@okdokie278 no. This was an unplugged review. I wanted to showcase what the laptop could do completely on battery.

@@GamerVsTech Excellent, thanks so much :)

@@doolittle_ both of them are great. They have their positives and negatives. The x1 can be hard to hold up if laying down for long periods of time. Has a high tdp unplugged. But the v3 is a great lap desk companion. The freesync display and native landscape on the v3 make a pretty big difference. I use them both equally as much.

@@mrsherman3103 oh yes!!! When plugged in I play every game on max settings and resolution. In fact, elden ring has been my life right now and running on the g14 has been absolutely amazing. If I were you I’d get the g14 hands down. The OLED screen is absolutely amazing and makes every game so beautiful. The new g16 with the Ryzen ai hx 370 cpu with 4070 will be release at the end of this month. If you want to wait for that, it will be a slightly bigger machine. I’ll be getting that in for review as well.

Have you had the G14 2024 for a year?

@@orez1236 yes it will come with the controllers.

@@GamerVsTech Oh okay thank you

@@gsdbp7893 so the current two versions are a 4060 model with 16gb of ram and the 4070 with 32 gb of ram. Both laptops come with soldered ram, meaning that it cannot be upgraded with more ram. Whether you are a gamer or student I will always recommend the 32 gb 4070 version because of more ram. More ram allows for a snappier machine when running graphic intensive applications or have many programs and processes running at once. The 16 gb 4060 is a good machine. It’s fast. But it just isn’t enough in my opinion. Hope that helps.

@@5igmaWolf do it!!! The way I think of it is what’s the use case. Casual gaming? Do you need high fps. The x1 is in my top 3 handhelds right now. I won’t say what place until the full review comes out. But so far it’s amazing. X1 = portability and can play most games comfortably. Sure you can achieve Elden ring at 60 gps solid but the battery life is what you’ll be thinking about. Overwatch 2 plays 80+ fps for hours on the right settings. Modern warfare about the same. A gaming laptop plugged in will give you higher fps and better resolution. But it’s not as portable. And will need to be plugged in. Everyone has a different use case. I’m addicted to tech so I have every device imaginable and more coming in weekly. So that’s why I’m going to review everything so others can make decisions based off of my experiences so that they don’t spend unnecessary amounts of money like me lol.

@@ChechoGoto hey I really appreciate the comment. I do this because I love tech and I want others like me to be informed. Stay tuned for more reviews. The new g16 with the new Ryzen ai hex 370 comes out at the end of this month. I’ll be reviewing that as well in the 4070 version.

@@knivesX1 without giving anything away I’m going to say it’s top 3 handhelds imo so far. I’ll say it’s rank in the full review. I’m going to compare it to the steam deck and the legion go. I’ll have the full review out soon.

Thank you. So far. It’s been really good.

@@BelleBeep interesting. Mine doesn’t get hot at all. I did notice that because the laptop is so low profile when sitting on a table the thermals are much worse than if I prop the laptop up to allow for better air flow. Definitely a little warm around the keyboard. I pretty much use it this way 100% of the time that I’m gaming. You may want to try to do a clean install of windows and drivers. That may fix things. Hope this helps.

@@GamerVsTech Thanks for your reply! I will definitely do a clean install and see if that helps. I'll update here with how it goes. Thanks again!

@@LoProfGuitarist the feel of the x1 keyboard is really nice. The V3 is bigger but that doesn’t make it better. The X1 keyboard is quiet and feels really premium.

@@GamerVsTech Thanks! I already own the V3 but super tempted with the X1 for slightly better portability. Cost wise there's about 80-180usd difference depending on storage options for the X1. I might stick with V3 until I spot a decent deal for the X1.

@@LoProfGuitarist so far I like it more. It’s really quick. And the v3 can’t go up to 35w tdp like the x1 can.

Thanks! 👍

Thank you!

@@dantebg100 yes I wanted to test out the laptop’s capabilities on battery.

Bought this 2 days ago. Returning it because it gets unacceptably hot. Will burn you.

90c is normal for this laptop. But for more comfort you need to undervolt the GPU.

@@aanatanael11 the 2024 does not get that hot.

@@kiosh that’s good device. The new g16 with Ryzen ai hx 370 cpu comes out at the end of this month. I’ll be getting that one for review.

@@ZulaBuki that really means a lot. Thank you.

@@fmulleady it’s and OLED screen. But out of all the laptops I’ve ever tested this has the best battery life, even while gaming.

@@GamerVsTech IPS screen in the UK sadly. I still wouldn't be convinced about warranty support. Great performance though and a nice review!

@@GamerVsTech Where did you see it spec'd as an OLED?

@@fmulleady I’m sorry I got mixed up with my other reviews. This is an ips screen.

@@sleddarcheddar got mixed up with another review of mine. This is an ips screen.

@@torom86 elden ring has a max fps of 60. Running Elden ring at 60 fps at max settings on a 2.5k resolution laptop is a lot harder than you think. And yes. The point of this review was to see the potential power of this laptop while unplugged. The truth is when unplugged you have to make a sacrifice to get more battery life.

@@GamerVsTech Sorry, I didn't know it was capped at 60 by default, I play it on PS5. That's an expensive 1440p laptop with good graphics card and a stunning OLED display, so it's definitely overkill if your priority is stretching the battery life at the cost of playing at minimum resolution and settings, IMHO. One of the many handhelds you already own would surely be more convenient for your user case, but everyone is free to do what they prefer with their money.

@@torom86 totally agree. Now, when I do plug it in and play in bed it’s an absolute BEAST. Max settings and resolution on everything. Super high FPS. It truly is a great machine. The G16 with the new Ryzen AI HX 370 with the 890 integrated graphics and 4070 will be coming out at the end of this month. I’ll be getting that as well. Can’t wait to review that one.

@@GamerVsTech I really don't get what you do with all those devices, I only need 1 😆 In fact I'd love to get this one but I want to wait for next generation as I need something with AT LEAST 12GB VRAM (current models with the 4080 are way too expensive) for it to be future proof for at least 5 years. I don't want to pay €2k for a premium laptop just for it to struggle with 4k resolution (as I have a 4k TV) and be obsolete in a couple of years.

@@torom86 the new g16 with the new Ryzen ai hex 370 cpu with 890 integrated graphics and 4070 is coming out at the end of this month. I think that will be the best device considering the price for 32gb at $2200 USD. HAHA but you are right. I have way too many devices. Most of them I upgrade and sell o and move onto the next one. Some I keep.

@@quicksilverpr2001 I did not. I heard mixed things about the z13. It looks like a great device. However, I’m not really an intel person. That particular cpu wasn’t known for its energy efficiency. Always wanted to see if they came out with a z13 flow AMD version. Glad you like it though!

@@GamerVsTech I respect that and same thing as me. My laptop is AMD because of that. But the portability and the dedicated GPU.. it is awesome.

@@quicksilverpr2001 dang. I want to get my hands on one now.

The flow Z13 is literally double the price of this. No comparison

@@azenyr yes and no, the 40 series GPU are a little bit expensive but, you still can find brand new 30 series GPU for about the same price as the Minis V3

@@JoonKimDMD my review was strictly on battery. So lowering the resolution allowed me to game with higher refresh rates and graphics settings.

@@GamerVsTechand lastly the max res from display itself is up to 1600p aka 2.5k? Not able to run 4k? And for a small screen like this laptop is it necessary gaming in 4k?

@@dagreatkahn no not a 4k screen. No for a small screen like this 4k is way overkill. I usually set game resolution to 1200p and it’s perfect.

@@GamerVsTech ahhh gotcha thanks mate, so far have you encountered any hardware issue or performance issue with fps dropping while gaming while unplugged? Lastly please share another follow up video how you like with the laptop after running aaa games intensively from full battery till 20%, just wondered if there will be dropping on fps due to thermal /heat issue and if you can get >1 hour ? Thank you and enjoyed watching the review you explained in the video

@@dagreatkahn yes. I even thought that I bricked the software a few times and did a few clean install. But it was a combination of driver issues. I have found that the more you use the g14 things tend to get better and smoother. But since the last bios update and nvidia driver everything is running smooth.

@@lunarshteve you can move the controller to any position on the tablet. I can confirm that you can have access to any one of the usb c ports using this mod and controller.

No. Touchpad is pretty clean as far as mis touches. I will say that it feels a little bit more clunkier than the 2023 models. The click feels and sounds almost like the device is on a cardboard box. Hard to describe. Not terrible to the point where it’s a factor to not enjoy this device. But compared to other gaming laptops or even a MacBook, not totally on par.

The 32gb grey version is $2199 USD and only available at Asus website.

Thank you. I have a lot of content coming out soon!

I kind of agree. The mouse pad feels a little clunky. I’ll be doing a productivity video soon and this will be one of the points I talk about. It feels nice to the touch but clicking feels very unnatural.

still wait for Lenovo releasing slim, lightweight laptop with RTX like G14 2024 😢

@@fishqwq I’ve test quite a few Lenovo slim devices. They are very nice.

​@@fishqwq There's the 14" Legion Slim 5. Look up some comparisons with that but it's gotten really good reviews.

Thank you!

That video is coming soon!

Yes on both battery and plugged in. About 5-10 fps. To some that’s not much but to others it makes a difference. The 4060 version with only 16gb definitely struggles playing games unplugged.

@yearsago-bu7rw Waiting for your test result.

Why

It’s a decent machine. If you’re into intel.

lol I know. No sleep with the baby. My brain wasn’t working.

Why is my thumbnail messed up?

​@@GamerVsTech Of course not, but we can make it even better to attract more viewers to your channel.

@@DavydKhart possibly

@@GamerVsTechno offense but your thumbnail kinda sucks, although the video itself is quite informative and well made. If I were you I would at least check the guy’s work out because the thumbnail matters a lot. Cheers.

@@ithinkits8674 can you tell me what’s specifically wrong with the thumbnail so I can improve it?

I agree in some ways. The trade off of the 2023 version to the 2024 version is the build quality and speakers. Having owned both, I do prefer the 2024 version when not plugged into power.
