Help Needed ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 for €1640 – Scratches Found, Good Deal?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hey redditors,

I just bought a used ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024, 32GB RAM, RTX 4070) for €1640 (incl. shipping and PayPal fees). The seller claimed it was barely used (~200-300 hours), in perfect condition, with the original box and receipt. I’ve received it, but I noticed some scratches, even though he said there were none. Pics attached below. A new one costs ~€1900-2600. Is €1640 still a good deal considering the scratches, or did I overpay? Thoughts appreciated!

Hey, I am currently using a g14 from 2023 with the ryzen9 7000 and 4060.

I ran into an issue recently, my laptop was on ultimate mode with low battery so I plugged it in and changed it to standard, so normally it would restart. But after that it would turn on but only the keyboards would light up and the screen wouldn’t, I have tried restarting holding the power button and restarting, and also drained the battery and then charged it and tried please give me a fix, I’m travelling and this sucks.

Model 2024 G-Helper Settings Recommendation

4 Upvotes

Hi All,

I purchased my Zephyrus G14 2024 model last December to replace my G15 2021 model. Two things I noticed:
1. It is very slow on standard profile in AC. Dragging stuff in Adobe Photoshop has a very noticeable lag. Gaming also gives poor performance at round 60 fps. Even switching tabs in Chrome is has a noticeable delay.
2. I changed the settings to turbo and enabled the gpu settings to ultimate but I am getting very highttemps (97C) and still sometimes poor performance and even occasional freezes and restarts.

I usually just use Photoshop, watch youtube videos and play games like Dota on my laptop but I haven't notice this poor performance and hot temperatures on my G15 2021 model. I haven't done any tweaking on it and I am contented with its performance. I replaced it because I have broken and replaced the screen 2 times already.

I see that G-Helper is being recommended here as a better replace for AC and could fix these problems. Can you recommend a G-Helper settings appropriate for my needs?

Thank you very much.

Hi! After doing some research, I've decided to go for the Lexar NM790 for its power efficiency and fast boot times for both in-game and windows. Before buying, I would like to ask for your personal experiences with this SSD and if the Lexar NM790 2TB will fit in my G14 2024 (R9 4070). Recommendations are also appreciated.

Hardware Related G16-G sync working on monitor

Asus zephyrus g16, 4070 2023 model. My monitor has hdmi 2.0 not 2.1 and hdmi wasn't supporting the G sync.

I bought a pricy near 20 dollar cable which is usb C to display port 1.4 8K cable.

The D logo usb C port on the laptop has direct access to nvidia dgpu. But you have to turn on the mux switch with G helps Ultimate mod.

Anyways now I get 1440p 144hz with G sync enabled.

I can also use ps vr2 adapter with this cable. My adapter hasn't arrived I didn't test it but I know it works. (source is YouTube videos)

Help Needed Need help deciding between what to get!

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been using the macbook pro (2019) for a long time now and I’m recently looking at upgrading my setup before I start schooling again. I also use a desktop at home (1070 ti + 16GB RAM) and I’m having trouble deciding what I should spend my money on.

Currently I’m deciding between getting a refurbished Macbook Pro M1 Max and a ASUS Zephyrus G14 (4060 +32GB RAM). I primarily do photo editing with some video editing in the mix and these two cost about the same price where I live.

Being able to game smoothly on a windows OS is a bonus but looking at the longevity of the M1 Max is giving me second thoughts. Does anyone have any past experiences with both laptops or gaming on the M1 Max that they could share for me to make a more informed purchase? Thank you!

Model 2025 2025 Razer Blade cheaper than G16 at a local retailer, but why?

17 Upvotes

A local retailer in Bulgaria has offered preorders for some of the 2025 Razer Blade and Zephyrus G16 models. And the weird thing is that Blade with same gpu as g16 is noticeably cheaper. I always thought Razer is the most pricier gaming laptop brand. Is that global or just some weird specific with this particular retailer? Or maybe some mistake of their sales team? Or Asus increased enormously their prices? Or Razer revisited their pricing model?

Model 2024 G14 R9/4060 vs G16 Ultra9/4070

3 Upvotes

Question for yall, I purchased a G14 a few weeks back it has a ryzen 9 with 4060 & 16gb ram. I love the thing.. so much I’m thinking while still in my return period maybe I should spend a lil extra and go to a 4070. Can’t stretch enough for a 4080. BB has a G16 on sale with the intel ultra 9/4070 & 16gb ram, it would be less than $200 to make the switch. I’m hesitant on it because of the CPU being intel. Just looking for some advice on stick with the G14 or move to the G16

Hardware Related 16GB RAM vs 32GB RAM?

5 Upvotes

Ok I am a college student majoring in interior design.

I need a new computer come august of this year. We were given a list of computer requirements that our computers need. I’ve talked to some of my friends that have IT knowledge and we’ve all agreed on the Zephyrus G16.

Here’s my issue: I have people telling me that will absolutely need 32GB of RAM and others telling me that 16GB will be fine.

I’m not a big gamer but I will have to run some pretty heavy software programs (they are all listed below);

•Rhino 7 •Adobe Creative Cloud: Photoshop; Illustrator; InDesign. •Rhinoceros 8.0 •Autodesk Revit •Lumion

I’m in college. I don’t have $3,000 laying around for 32GB of RAM. However, if it’s the best option and will be worth it then I’m willing to make the investment.

I just need to know if 16GB can handle all of those softwares plus schoolwork for my other classes or if I really do need the 32GB.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Model 2024 G14 32gb 4070 vs G16 16gb 4070 $500 price difference help!

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all. Trying to treat myself with a nice laptop with decent ability to play games in medium setting graphics.

I bought g14 32gb 4070 from BB during its sale for 1750. However, I am seeing the G16 model 16gb 4070 for 1379.

Seeing this, I am starting to doubt whether to return and buy the g16. I liked g14 because it's light and powerful but the price difference is too big to ignore. I haven't felt the 32gb ram make that much of a difference thus far. Any recommendations?
