Q: Which version is this model, the 2022, 21, or 20? Thank you!
A: This is the 2021 model.
Q: Is there a way to install more storage other than an external drive?
A: For disk storage, no, need to either replace stock SSD with a larger one (see Geek Squad) or else plug in a USB-based hard drive or SSD drive, or maybe even an Ethernet-based NAS.
Q: Is it 999 dollars for 16 gb ram?
A: In a word, yes. In more words ... The good news is you get 16 GB RAM, and it's dual channel so you get whatever speed advantage comes with dual channel. Also, counter to one commenter who lamented that it did not come with DDR5 but rather DDR4, I claim no bid deal, the speed advantage of DDR5 is overrated, and in any event, when this laptop was designed DDR5 was hard to find and virtually no designs from that era had DDR5, they were all DDR4 (or DDR3 in rare older cases). The bad news is that 8 GB is soldered in and 8 GB is in the single RAM slot. If you're happy with 16, no biggie. If you swap out the 8 GB SODIMM for a 16GB you get 24 GB but now channel-size is a mismatch so you lose dual-channel advantage, I believe. Same way if you swap 8 GB for a 32 GB, which may be possible in this model, not sure, I know it's possible in the newer 2022 models.
Q: Does this model come with the AniMe Matrix?
A: No. You can tell the AniMe Matrix models by the fact that they have a list price of about $2500 in spite of the fact that they don't have the top-end 3080 graphics card. AniMe is not cheap. Also, Best Buy sometimes crosses wires, and gets answers to questions on one sub-model confused over to the set of answers to questions on some other sub-model. Best Buy doesn't understand the principle: new model, new questions (although some questions might remain the same, the answers might change, lol). So it's entirely possible this answer might be wrong, if it gets transfered over to some new sub-model that does have AniMe. But you should tell by the price in any event.
Q: Does it have international warranty?
A: No, this model does not have international warranty.
Q: Does it come with mouse and webcam?
A: It comes with a touchpad, but so does 99.99% of all laptops sold today come with. And it doesn't have a webcam.
Q: Is this laptop the ROG Zephyrus G14 or something else and does this laptop overheat?
A: Also, it comes with a ROG control app that lets you set one of several profiles for heat and fan control. If you like to reduce fan noise and/or make it run cooler during high loads, you can pick a profile for that. If you're trying to set a world record benchmark, you can pick a profile for that. Similarly if you're on battery and want to stretch battery life to the max.
A: People report around 10 hours of video playback, it's definitely possible to get 8 hours of school use. You might need to turn on hybrid/eco mode though.
