- A: AnswerRe windows, Best Buy specs are contradictory here. One place says Win 11 Home, elsewhere says Win 11 Pro. I suspect it’s Pro cuz I think the 4080 and 4090 models get Pro. Owners weigh in please. And yes you get a goofy display. Smile cuz this is the last year you can get the goofy display. With 2024 model you will will look like you bought an HP/Dell/Lenovo business PC model.

Great laptop - battery life is only letdown.
Great laptop. Super powerful in a small form factor. I'm getting Time Spy of above 15000. Great screen. Great speakers. Great keyboard. Great trackpad. Love the 16:10 aspect ratio. I've upgraded to 32GB - no problem! I've had no build quality problems - I've heard others have. Only disappointment is battery life. Some people claim G14s get mammoth battery life. That's not my experience with this laptop.

The Perfect Gaming Laptop!
I tested quite a few new laptops before deciding on the Asus Zephyrus G14. It has all of the power you would need for AAA gaming, editing, 3d modeling, video editing. Plus the style of the laptop is truly one of a kind! Having the ability to upgrade the RAM up to 48GB as well as replace the internal M.2 SSD leaves room for longevity. This will be my daily driver for at least the next 5 years or longer.
