Fantastic!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using this to replace my desktop gaming setup during the graphis card shortage so I can play new releases. So far this has run everything I’ve thrown at it with ease. Absoutely fantastic. Its crazy how powerful this laptop is while being so thin. Battery life has been fantastic and great to use for light task. Gaming plugged in gets you max power just expect it to get a little warm to the touch but nothing major. Would for sure buy again!

Gaming Beast!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an insane laptop for the price! Runs everything I throw at it flawlessly. Really impressed by the battery life. Getting 10 hrs of Youtube 1440p playback. The screen is gorgeous. Just a tip for new buyers: Turn off Varibright in Radeon settings to get proper brightness on battery. Otherwise brightness will be lowered automatically. The SSD is plenty fast. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Excellent Alternative to High-End Desktop
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop as a portable alternative to my high-end desktop PC that would offer moderate performance on-the-go. After owning it for around two weeks, I can say it meets and exceeds all of my expectations. The price point at $1549.99 is at the very top end of what I would call fair, as there are other options that are more competitively priced. That said, this device does offer some unique characteristics that can be somewhat harder to find, especially if you manage to snag it on sale, as I did. A 1440p display in a 14" form factor with an RTX 3060 & Ryzen 9 CPU was exactly what I was looking for. Some pros: - 14" Form-Factor with 2560x1440 resolution - Beautiful, vibrant display with excellent color accuracy - RTX 3060 GPU / Ryzen 5900 CPU offer great performance - 1TV PCI-E SSD (~3.5GBps R / 2.8GBps W) is blazing fast - Useful hardware control panel software - Built-in speakers w/ Dolby Atmos capability are surprisingly usable and quite loud - Fit and finish are good an aesthetically pleasing - Great design implementation in using the screen tilt to lift the bottom of the laptop slightly to allow less air intake restriction - Fan noise is adequately managed with the control panel software. Silent for browsing the web with inbuilt speakers, performance or turbo for gaming with headphones on. Some cons: - No webcam - Thermals are hot, albeit acceptable for a laptop; with a small and portable form factor, this is an expected given, but worth mentioning (GPU load ~80-85C, CPU load ~89-94C) - Keyboard backlight is a bit dim and is a stagnant color. These are what I've noted in the two weeks I've owned and used the laptop, quite extensively. 5/5 stars, I'm very satisfied.

The QHD screen is beautiful, the fan noise is fine
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the review of the QHD 2560 x 1440 resolution screen model (GA401QM-211.ZG14B), there are more in-depth reviews under the nearly identical FHD 1920 x 1080 resolution screen model (GA401QM-211.ZG14). I wanted something with a capable graphics card for 3D CAD design and a nice looking screen. The aforementioned FHD model may be better suited for gaming (lesser resolution means less strain on the graphics card during action, plus it has smoother 144Hz refresh rate) but the display model at Best Buy looked very washed out when compared to anything else in the price range. In contrary the QHD 120Hz screen in this particular model is really beautiful. About the infamous fan noise: it is fine even in the highest turbo setting (available only when the charger is plugged in, on battery mode performance is the highest setting). Yes, it is audible but it’s silky smooth not the rattling type like a window air conditioner or a room fan. Playing Fortnite in performance mode without battery saver at a vivid 80% screen brightness the battery lasts a bit over an hour and a half. Netflix with same settings runs for about eight hours on a full charge. The panel gets quite toasty over the rear exhaust vents, I can not endure resting my fingers there for longer than a few seconds… It is more of an observation after reading all the negative press on this subject. The top keys remain perfectly fine temperature wise. There is no built-in webcam and I’m okay with that. I’d rather use an external one with a physical shutter, wouldn’t risk closing one of those stick-on shutters between the screen and the keyboard. I find not having an ethernet port a bit more pressing issue, downloading content over wifi takes forever. Like forever-forever. USB-C to ethernet dongles go for around $20, I wish Asus included one. I was toying with the idea of getting a G15 or M16 instead for the larger screen and built-in ethernet port, however there appeared to be more reviews citing blown pixels and other quality issues compared to the G14. Recommended to watch for novice users about backing up factory image right out the box, search: ‘DO THIS before using your new laptop’

One of the best gaming Laptops of 2021 & 2022
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can run any modern game at max setting at 1080p, 120 refresh rate will make you become a more skilled gamer lol. Laptop does tend to get hot but i mean its a small gaming laptop for $1200 (I bought mine on sale). I also bought the 2022 model & the differnce is very minamal just like the iPhone 13 pro to iPhone 14 pro
