Asus G14 Buyer Beware
- Bad screen response time, ~20ms gray-to-gray average response time makes it poor for fast paced games
Please see comparison here - Ryzen 9 4900HS is only single-digit faster than Ryzen 7 4800HS at expense of costing more
- Buggy Asus software (Armory Crate) is known to have many issues, you'll need to use 3rd party software made by someone on github https://github.com/aredden/electron-g14control .
- The RTX 2060 Max-Q is obviously faster than comparable 65w GPUs, however, the G14 on average costs more than comparable laptops and said laptops have better performing GPUs due to higher powerlimits. In essence you are paying more for less
- Charging with USB-C or Plugging in a PD-enabled monitor, dock or charger to the 65w USB-C port while having the 180W adapter plugged in simultaneously will kill the laptop because the laptop will receive over 200w of power and will die.
This can even be done unintentionally by plugging into a monitor or hub which has its own power
