A:AnswerThe G14 and G15 both use AMD's new Ryzen 4000 CPU and have been reviewed/benchmarked to show really powerful CPU results. The G14 is in a smaller chassis, and the G15 has shown to have a bad thermal design. I think some reviewers have estimated that the G15 and M15 share screen options: dimmer 144Hz and this brighter 240Hz panel. And only thee M15 has thunderbolt 3.
A:AnswerI got conflicting answers on open-box warranty: Both BestBuy customer service and the official ASUS account (seems to be) on this Q&A forum say that the ASUS open-box laptops from BestBuy have the same 1-year ASUS manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase. However, the U.S. ASUS customer service told me that the open-box products only have a 90-day warranty from ASUS.
Below is the exact wording I got in e-mail from ASUS U.S. customer service:
"Once the unit purchase is an open box, only 90 days warranty is provided for that device. In terms of Best Buy saying that you have the same 1-year manufacturer warranty from the purchase date as the new laptops have, you will need to verify that information with them."
A:AnswerIf VR is what you’re worried about I would say it’s a must. Granted I don’t use the type C port for much of anything. I run my rig with a 16ft usb 3.0 to type C and it runs great, the bump in graphics are amazing. I literally got done playing right now. Had to issues running VR games with this rig on the quest 2. Hard to tell if it’s using the rtx or not, but I gotta admit whatever it’s using is an improvement over standalone VR.
