A:AnswerI imagine Asus has figured most of us open the thing and add ram and SSD's. So, the price of $1,599 comes from cutting certain corners. 1TB isn't enough. So, make it cheaper with a 512 and let us add 2-4TB superior SSDs.
A:AnswerThis model of the G14 actually will support 48GB of ram. Just installed 32GB stick of Crucial Ram. Now have 48GB of Quad Channel DDR5 Ram.
Laptop runs so much better and a lot smoother!
Your mileage may vary however, rest assured it will support more than 16GB of ram in the empty sodimm slot.
A:AnswerThey are not the same materials (keys, touch pad, top frame) and the color is a tad different depending on the viewing angles. For me, I don't see why that would be an issue?
A:AnswerI got the laptop now and have done testing and the maximum the USB c port will accept is 20v at 5 amps for a 100 watts maximum input on USB c.

A:AnswerIn general, neither vendor nor BB warranties are broken by end user RAM upgrades. Yes, would be nice to have Asus verify. But I know of no vendors that violate this principle.
A:AnswerIve ran the Geekbench 6 on this laptop to test its speed. The Amd 7940 mobile processor scored 12600 which means it is faster than my desktop i7-11700 processor (10200 gb score). Meanwhile the mobile rtx4060 scored 99000 which is equivalent to a desktop rtx2070 super gpu.
So long as you upgrade the nve ssd to 2 tb, i say it should last you through college.
A:AnswerYou could use USB-C, should work when plugged in on the left side, but you shouldn't perform heavy tasks like gaming while on USB-C. While on USB-C, the laptop is charging and running from the battery and not the power cord.
