Advertised models: GA401IH-BR7N2BL (gray), $1,050: FHD 60Hz, Ryzen 7 4800HS, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, GeForce GTX 1650 GA401IU-BS76 (gray) $1,300: FHD 120Hz, Ryzen 7 4800HS, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q GA401IV-BR9N6 (white), $1,450: FHD 120Hz, Ryzen 9 4900HS, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q GA401IV-PS96 (gray) or BS96-WH (white), $2,000: QHD 60Hz AniMe Matrix Display, Ryzen 9 4900HS, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q

Q: Is this the Anime Matrix model?

A: According to the review of this model (https://www.cnet.com/reviews/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-review/) it is not.

Q: Anyone getting that black screen problem that is occurring for many owners of that laptop? Mine has been happening once a day and it occurs out of nowhere. Screen goes black and sound stops. Pretty much the system just stops and no input works.

A: Yes! mine has done it a few times, only when I am surfing the web. It doesn't happen when I am playing games. There are several threads on Reddit about it. From one of the posts: It's believed to be something to do with the drivers on the Radeon chip. if you press Windows+shift+ctrl+b it'll perk the computer back up because it actually boots the drivers again on the chip. Most haven't had issues with it while running games(since it switches to the RTX, and it's a Radeon issue.) Also try turning Freesync off in the radeon chip settings, it's under Radeon Lite(in your programs). I just found this Reddit reference tonight, and have not yet had a chance to try the " press Windows+shift+ctrl+b" option yet,, so I don't know if it works yet. (But even if it does, that's not he long term fix I'm looking for. I've had this laptop for 5 days now and love it, but the screen suddenly going blank it frustrating! Enough to the point that I'm thinking of returning while I still can!

Q: Been using the new G14 for a couple of days and lovin it. Except that my model has that kind of high pitch noise resembling electronic signal (coil whine?) even at idle. Is this my particular model or does G14 generally has this kind of issue?

A: Found the solution! Turn up your keyboard back light. Makes no sense, hopefully Asus can fix this soon. At no keyboard backlight, I can hear the whining you talk about. At max back light, it goes away basically completely. If I turn the back light off, it comes right back.

Q: @asus #asus can you please answer 2 questions: (1) when can I get one? time sensitive for specific government work. Help!! (2) if it comes with Microsoft loaded doesn't that mean it already includes word, excel etc?? Thanks!

A: Bro what kind of work you doing? My wifes a laywer and runs her work server on a I5 Dell laptop. This is a gaming laptop plus some. Might be overkill just for work you could get a nice work laptop much much cheaper. Unless you plan on playing elder scrolls online when the boss isnt looking... which I would if I was you.

A: This model comes with 1 slot with 8GB DDR4-3200 installed and 8GB DDR4 on board.
