For the answer to that check the Tube video ... It Actually Got BETTER - Zephyrus G14 2022 vs G14 2021 Not speaking from experience here, haven't bought one yet, but they do a great job covering that issue in depth. TLDR answer: Keep Turbo Mode off and you'll be fine! > should I wait for the better models or is this the best bang for your buck? I think the 3 models out now are pretty much what you're choosing from, except for the fact that there might be a 4th model that has the AniMe cover display for an extra $500. They could always add more variety with different memory/SSD configurations, but I think the current 3 core models are exemplary of what you're choosing from. So I see no reason to wait. This 2022 G14 is (relative to the 2021 model) thinner and lighter and slightly taller panel size (due to new 10:6 aspect ratio), and yet it performs nearly as well as the old boat-anchor gaming laptops. Example: a MSI GE76 Raider i9-12900HK 32GB RTX 3080 that weighs 6.4 pounds and sucks in 280 watts, only performs 27% faster on Geekbench 5 (all-cores) than the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 does (note: the Raider does have a 360 Hz panel, but then the G14 doesn't give you a hernia from carrying it around in your backpack). Best Buy (at 2022 G14 product launch) carries three different "bangs" for three different "bucks" with the difference being the discrete GPU chip: Nvidia 3060 vs. AMD RX6700S (brand new) vs. RX6800S (brand new). The more you buck, the more you bang; and the more you bang, the more you FPS. Honestly, the rumor is that the RX6800S almost matches a 3080 mobile. Interpolating, one might guess that an RX6700S games almost the same as a 3070 mobile. Of course, with the Ryzen 6000 series APUs you also get the brand new RDNA 2 internal GPU, and that's at least double the speed of the old-architecture iGPUs from the 5000 series Ryzen APUs. I'm hoping it's possible to drive the built-in 14" laptop panel from the iGPU while simultaneously driving a separate larger LCD display from the dGPU. Seems reasonable but not sure if the HDMI out comes from the dGPU and/or whether there's a MUX switch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.well it depends , whether you want to trade on portability or performance although the spec sheet is fabulous for this machine there maybe some heating issue considering the size but overall a great machine considering the price and performance which comes with that portability. you will find many videos on youtube regarding complaints of heating but there are also so many software fix available one thing more , if you dont have a heavy gpu requirements go with the radeon 7 version
