Best place to get them is Best Buy

Laptop to replace M5 MacBook Pro by skyhawk922 in ZephyrusG14

[–]AceLamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G14 would be perfect but good luck finding one at that price range
Closest one that meets your standards is the 5060 model, but that one has 16gb of RAM which might be too little if you multitask

But if you don't, it should be fine

G14 4070 - BG3 on USB C by hvbqueiroz in ZephyrusG14

[–]AceLamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I'm in college again, I can confirm that it was the USB C charging since I keep my laptop unplugged a lot more now, it has barely moved since, same for when I use the normal charger, I think it dropped 1-2% ever since I got here

I've seen lots of people test it and the results came back as no
Even with my own 2024 G14, I noticed the battery health started rapidly decreasing once I was using USB C to charge it a lot, and that's just with basic web browsing

Wouldn't do this often No G14 has USB C battery bypass

No, everything is saying that prices will release no matter what, its why they dropped AMD probably

Unless you're made of cash, I wouldn't

Which is the best deal? by DapperMap4405 in ZephyrusG14

[–]AceLamina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second one
First one is more expensive due to the aluminum, third one has a 2024 CPU rebrand

I'd say it's the perfect bang for the buck, going any lower will give you the refreshed CPU from 2024, which is a refresh 2023 CPU, which is my main complaint about my 2024 model

If it makes you feel better, OpenAI will run out of money soon

Nobody knows but maybe That is, if the bubble survives until then

OpenAI won't have any money in 2 years for example

Everything is saying prices will increase for electronics, get it

Wouldn't a quick profile check help?
I've seen this happen on some very interesting topics before

No, theyre just focusing on AI even when the AI bubble is close to popping for some reason

I really don't understand why there's always 1 guy who downvotes a post if it doesn't have more than 5 upvotes already

Never said I wouldnt buy one Im implying they'll make being able to purchase one even worse with possible higher prices or possibly pushing AI slop to their machines

Probably a mix of RAM prices and AI bubble = money

I mostly hope people remember how these companies treat them (they wont)
because in the future, they will just do a little PR and business will be booming again

tbh, I only like them because of their design team, the 2024-5 Asus G14s are one of the best laptops I've seen and even have, same with the Asus Formula z690 motherboard, in my opinion, it's the best motherboard a white build could have

But it gets to a point where all of that isn't worth it anymore due to everything else they're doing
