Portable powerhouse, with some issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, lets start with some cons. So this machine has a few software issues. After reinstalling windows and OEM Drivers becuase of an nvme drive upgrade and ram upgrade, I noticed that armory crate wouldn't show options for auto refresh rate, panel saver, or overdrive. Armory crate would also fail to switch gpu power mode to anything besides standard. After troubleshooting all day, with driver reinstalls and gpu drivers, I came to the conclusion that it wasnt a driver issue, but it was an issue with armory crate. I really hope asus can fix these issues becuase there are so many forums on this issue, even from years past. The solution I reccomend for this is to just install a third party app known as G-helper. G-helper is a pretty intuitive alternative to Armory crate with all the same features, but with way less bugs and glitches, although it freezes up at times. The app gets updated frequently with new features and the only thing it really lacks is more in-depth animematrix controls, which I find kinda tacky to begin with. Next up, we get to thermals. With the Rtx 4080 equipped version that I have, it gets HOT, like really hot, even with power limits. On AC in performance mode with 90 watt limit gpu and 65 watt limit cpu, The gpu regularly hits 85 degrees celcius and the cpu regularly thermal throttles. I hear that undervolting can help get those temperatures down even further, although your experience in that may vary by unit. On idle though, on battery in the silent profile, I was regularly hitting 47-55 degrees celcius, with 0 rpm fans. Now lets move onto upgrades. This laptop is upgradeable with some caveats. As you may or may not have heard, this laptop has only 1 upgradeable ram slot, with up to 48 gb of ram total. This machine is very picky with what ram you can upgrade it with, so for the best compatibility, I would reccomend a 4800 mhz cl40 ddr4 sodimm, especially the model from micron, although any brand would work as long as it meets those specs. The m.2 slot is pcie 4.0 x4 compatible for a max sequential speed of 7,000 mb per second, if you could get a drive that fast. The internal drive this comes with is essentially an OEM version of the Samsung 980 pro, so it is a pretty good quality drive. Now lets move onto some of the positives of this product. The display is the best I have seen on a laptop, the keyboard has good travel, and the trackpad is large and slick to use. Its battery life is great with my unit typically reaching around 7-8 hours of battery life, which combined with its silent fans for casual use almost makes me forget that this is a gaming laptop. The only thing that reminds me that this is a gaming laptop is that the fans really kick in once I start playing even moderately demanding games. Now lets consider the value lf this product in its price segment. Considering some of its only 14 inch performance notebook competition is the razer blade 14 (which costs more with lower end specs 2700$ for a 4070), this machine strikes a pretty good value proposition, if you can justify the price tag of over 2000$ for a laptop. Even compared to its other SKUS, like the g14 4090 which performs 8% better on average in games while costing 800$ more, or the g14 4070 which performs 50% worse overall for 650$ less, the g14 strikes the a good balance of price to performance, as long as you dont care about the marginal performance uplift of the 4090 (with limited thermals and power delivery, gimped pretty hard) and the mini led display (which eats at battery life). Overall, this laptop is what I said in the title, a portable powerhouse.

On the whole, worthwhile depending on circumstance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Long story short: I hate buying add-ons, but this form of insurance saved my bacon once this year and has already paid for itself. Especially since I think prices are only going up, availability will only go down, waiting for Black Friday etc. price reductions of 10-15% doesn't help much if prices, meantime, have increased 5>10>20+ percent. Back to Geek Squad, my store has been great to work with.

Protected for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this with my brand new Acer Predator gaming laptop knowing I cannot go wrong. GeekSquad is a great service to have because they will help you ship out your PC if it has any warranty issues to the manufacteurer and they will also fix stuff and replace parts if its out of the normal products warranty.

Always perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I buy geek squad protection for all purchases at Best Buy because it never disappoints. I have taken things to get repaired, replaced, help with using a product etc. and it’s always been a great experience. Best Buy has the best protection warranty than it’s competitors including Apple (sorry, not sorry) and I have a IPhone and IPad. The customer service is stellar, and I would recommend it to anyone.

HP - OmniBook X - Copilot+ PC - 14" 2.2K Touch-Scr
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The HP - OmniBook X - Copilot+ PC - 14" 2.2K Touch-Screen Laptop - Snapdragon X Elite - 16GB Memory - 1TB SDD - Meteor Silver- is a great laptop as to performance and excellent battery life. Only two down sides 1. the win11 24h2 Ver will not allow printers to be installed using their own drivers only use the installed ms driver. This means Label printer like from Dymolabel can not be installed as windows will not all its drivers to be inserted into the "list of printer drivers" need to select the printer driver for the physical printer; 2. must manually set the dpi in the printer setting to 600 as the default was 300, in order for bar coding to be printed so scanner can read it correctly. do not use co-pilot so not an issue it was missing.

Great deal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the Samsung [Model Name] laptop, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. From its sleek design to its outstanding performance, this laptop has truly impressed me in every aspect. First and foremost, the design of the Samsung laptop is sleek and modern. Its slim profile and metallic finish give it a premium look and feel, making it a stylish companion for both work and play. The build quality is top-notch, and the attention to detail is evident in every aspect of its design. In terms of performance, this laptop truly shines. Powered by an Intel Core processor and ample RAM, it effortlessly handles multitasking, allowing me to work on multiple applications simultaneously without any lag. Whether I'm browsing the web, editing documents, or streaming content, the Samsung laptop delivers smooth and responsive performance every time. The display is another standout feature of this laptop. The vibrant colors and sharp resolution make watching movies and videos a joy, and the ample screen real estate provides plenty of room for productivity tasks. Additionally, the keyboard is comfortable to type on, with well-spaced keys that provide good tactile feedback. Battery life is also impressive, allowing me to work for extended periods without needing to constantly hunt for a power outlet. Whether I'm working from home or on the go, I can rely on the Samsung laptop to keep up with my demanding workload. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the Samsung laptop. Its exceptional performance, sleek design, and long-lasting battery life make it the perfect companion for both work and entertainment.

Technical help the way it should be!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think that this was the best service I've ever received in this kind of transaction. My laptop had a catastrophic accident. Geeks managed to transfer all my data, even emails to their system and restore it to the new machine without a single issue. The repair was not possible but I was kept informed of what was happening, and able to make a choice of a new laptop in a reasonable time(30 days) I was given excellent support in making my decision -- good understanding of my needs, absolutely no hint of sexism or agism involved. I dealt with about 6 different Geeks and every one of them was helpful and supportive. Have already recommended the service to several people.

Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the things I really appreciated when buying the MacBook Air M4 was Apple’s warranty. From day one, I felt completely supported. The coverage is clear, and their customer service has been excellent. I had a question about the charger and they helped me quickly, with no hassle or long waits. Plus, the option to extend with AppleCare+ is a big bonus. Knowing I’m protected against accidental damage or future issues gives me peace of mind. It’s totally worth investing in a device like this when you know the company truly stands behind it.
