Q: QuestionWhen will this be available for purchase?(2 answers)
A: AnswerMarch 30!Answered by John
Q: QuestionIs the ram upgradable(6 answers)
A: AnswerYes, the RAM is upgradeable, but I tentatively have to modify my prior answer. First a typo, the cheap model has the 6700S graphics and the more expensive model has the 6800S graphics (and neither have the Anime case). The prior conjecture was that the cheaper one with 6700S graphics comes with 8 GB soldered and an 8 GB DDR5 stick, whereas the expensive model with 6800S graphics comes with 16 GB soldered and an empty DDR5 slot. While the cheaper model does indeed come with 8 GB soldered and an 8 GB DDR5 stick, I have to replace that earlier conjecture with "we don't know for sure" since it is unclear what the memory arrangement is in the more expensive model. Why don't we know? Because it's not clear whether Best Buy's description is accurate, and they make a lot of mistakes. We won't know for sure until somebody buys the expensive model and upgrades the RAM themselves (or has Geek Squad do it and asks the question when done). And there's 7 screws (some under rubber feet) holding the back in place, so it's not for the feint of heart. The reason we thought (or may still think) that the expensive model with 6800S graphics comes with just a 16 GB soldered and an empty slot is not only that it makes more sense (since if you can afford the better grahics then you probably want to upgrade your RAM too and why hobble your poor customer by soldering-in only 8 GB), but also that reviews of the 6800S graphics model online state that their sample came with 32 GB, namely a 16 GB soldered and a 16 GB stick in the slot. But now I see that the Information section for both models on the Best Buy web sight says "16GB (8GB + 8GB) of dual-channel memory significantly increases performance" for both the cheaper model and the more expensive model. In other words, if true, that statement implies that both models come with 8 GB soldered plus an 8 GB stick. Now the problem is that Best Buy make lots of mistakes. So the question is, is this a mistake in Best Buy describing the memory for the more expensive model, or is it the truth? Again, we won't know til someone gambles on the more expensive model and tries the RAM upgrade. It could be that Best Buy ordered their own custom models from Asus with (always) 8 GB soldered and an 8 GB stick. This has the advantage of being dual-channel as sold. But it kinda messes up the people buying the more expensive model, most of whom would have preferred it to come with only 16 GB soldered, so that they can use it with hobbled memory initially and then later on when DDR5 memory comes down in price, add a 16 GB stick to get 32 GB total of dual-channel memory. This would be "lack of visionary" on Best Buy's part, but would not be surprising. So re memory, we know what gives on the cheaper model, but on the more expensive model with 6800S graphics, we await a verified purchaser doing a memory upgrade to enlighten us.Answered by jimgeek
Q: QuestionWill there be a 32gb ram version ?(1 answer)
A: AnswerPrevious versions of the G14 with 32GB were not sold at Best Buy, so I honestly don't expect that to change. Looking at various online reviews, the version with Animatrix LEDs and 32GB seem to retail at around $2,499. Comparing the currently available G14 with the 6700S GPU at $1,649, I would expect the 6800S 32GB model (without Animatrix) to possibly retail at least at $1,999. Short answer, this ain't it.Answered by txtechguy
- A: AnswerI suspect that they checked brightness while having the AMD Vari-Bright turned on. Other reviews report brightness right around 500 nits.

Q: QuestionDoes this come with a sleeve and is it anime matrix?(5 answers)
A: AnswerBased on the "Weight" spec listed in the specs sheet, there is no anime matrix. The version with anime matrix would be heavier.Answered by Junhan
- A: AnswerTook me a little bit of research but I finally found the answer to your question, this laptop is not HDMI 2.1 compatible, it does have a HDMI port but that is only 2.0b which means it can only go up to 4k @60hz. Now that being said it does have display port 1.4 also this can do a lot more like 4k @120hz and 8k @60hz, so if you want to use those resolutions you would have to use the display port.
Answered by LABAMBA
- A: AnswerYeah its crazy, but there are no other shortcomings power is going to be the same, as far as I can tell. And according to the ASUS store the screen is the same on all 2022 models. So maybe your talking about last years QHD models? Yes the QHD is better it offers better color gamut so more vibrant colors.

Best gaming laptop for school.
I had purchased this laptop to use for my the 4 years of my undergraduate schooling. I wanted a laptop that had enough power to game and a laptop that was portable and had good battery life. Normally this would require me to get a overpriced thin and light with a discrete gpu (that would thermal throttle after 5 minutes lol). It was important to me that I got a 14 inch laptop for portability reasons. By some miracle I found this laptop at this price because FOR THIS PRICE IT IS AMAZING. That being said it has some drawbacks. First being the laptop can get pretty hot especially when gaming. The cpu can reach temperatures up to 96 C and a lot of the heat is routed towards the display (the heat makes me a little uncomfortable but i’m pretty sure will not cause any long term problems). The keyboard can get pretty warm but for the most part is good to touch (the keyboard when not hot is amazing). When not gaming the laptop also can get pretty hot but it’s a lot more manageable. The laptop has a metal plate on the bottom that gets quite warm and that coupled with the rising keyboard for the enhanced thermals this laptop is not the most comfortable for lap use but it is still serviceable. Currently I use this laptop docked to a monitor with a variety of peripherals attached. This laptops port selection for its size is great even though it is missing a ethernet port. This laptop comes with the ROG gaming software. Going in I thought the software would be horrible and I would try to use it as little as possible but so far it’s been pretty good. The app includes useful information and has a lot of nice features. My favorite of which is the silent power profile. This profile while not as powerful as turbo is completely SILENT which makes it amazing for class. It’s also possible to use the mux switch to turn off the discrete gpu and decrease the refresh rate of the display when on battery power (increases battery life to around 9 hours with light use and normal brightness) . These 3 settings together make the laptop silent and many times more effective than before making it perfect for a classroom environment. The laptop also looks very good when compared to other gaming laptops with a somewhat understated design while still retaining some gamer like appearances (many people won’t know it’s for gaming). When more performance is required one can plug it in to the wall and switch it to the turbo profile which enables this laptop to perform better than 90% of laptops it’s size. To play any demanding games power from the wall is a requirement as gaming on battery life is horrible but that’s standard among gaming laptops. These power profiles, size and portability, battery life (when using specific settings), display, ports, and plugged in performance make this laptop arguably the best laptop to buy at its current price point (around $1,199 at time of purchase) and my personal choice for any college student looking to play some games.

Im So Happy ^ ^
Im So HAPPY with this new friend to join me on the many Trains/Busses and occasional Ferry's I take for my job... From its 500 Nits brightness which is unheard of, it keeps the screen clear and crisp even with the sun beating on you from above the image remains ever strong. The 3500 Contrast is just as important b/c it works hand in hand with the bright
