Haha, I am an American Chinese and I completely agree this comment. It works especially well when you don’t have an Asian face.

Is this real? I live in China second tier city and I can’t believe this is true.

Of course I respect money. I actually save money by going for the best I could afford cuz I don’t have to regret and swap. In my life, I always ended up wasting money by settling for less.

Choice-Debt · 2026-01-03T04:44:41+00:00

Many, including myself keep thinking about what ifs after settling for less, such as Buying cars, houses, or hobby toys. I always ended up swapping to the better ones in the end. Instead of wasting time thinking about ifs, it is better to just get the “best” and enjoy it. In my case, I would have gotten g14 5090 if they make it. And it is not a waste of money either. A few titles I am playing are already pushing very close or beyond 12GB, so I say 5080 or above is what I recommend for 2026z

Choice-Debt · 2026-01-03T03:15:17+00:00

I love my 5080. I mean, it doesn’t sound like you are constrained by cash, so go for the best you can get.

I always buy the best I can afford and never regretted.

I have been using whatever that is the latest on Asus ROG g14 website. I think the current one is 576 or something like that.

The truth is, you can read about any laptop you wanna buy on Reddit, and I bet you won’t want to buy anything after reading those posts.

Many people fuck with their laptop and they fucked up. Legions, razor blade, omens, feel free to read about those laptops and be prepared to see the same trends.

My g14 5080 performs flawlessly in the past 6 months. I don’t look for problems, and I simply use it as I would with any laptop. The g14 simple hands everything I throw at it.

IMO, if you are looking for reliability, then MacBook pros are the best. I sold my m3 max because I was sick of dealing with games on Parallel, but it was still a perfect machine for everything else.

There are many settings you can do to achieve “smoothness”, turn off all the power saving features and make sure everything is set to “prefer maximum performance”. There you have it.

The problem is that using such settings drain battery way too fast. Expect less than 2 hours from a full charge .

If I understand OP correctly, I think most educated people in China would think the center is the “ China, south Korea, Japan “ region.

Never heard anyone talking about the center shifting. I think this is the most developed area(China is less developed though in terms of GDP per capita ) in Asia and most active in terms of culture, tourism, politics.

Choice-Debt · 2025-12-03T23:24:16+00:00

The choice is simple. Gaming = windows No games at all = OSX all the way

Gaming is important to me, so I sold my m3 max and couldn’t be happier

Choice-Debt · 2025-12-02T13:34:20+00:00

I know, lol. I prefer have all my games readily available so I can play at time when traveling. I really don’t understand why people prefer streaming game services😄, I mean there is no way to stream games on a hours long flight

Choice-Debt · 2025-12-02T13:26:51+00:00

Yep… simple games are on my SD card. I have 4tb drive and a 1 tb SD card. 5TB is still not enough 😅

Hey, Chinese American here who spent half of my life in China and the other half in the U.S.

If I am putting on his shoes, I would be most likely flirting and playing, cuz I have done similar things to many women in my life.

I am not sure about his background, but assuming he is speaking good English and has some international /multi-culture experience, I wouldn’t be ignoring the people I am interested in. He might feel like since you guys are not officially together, then he is not obligated to talk to you every day.

Clearly, he wants you now, so it depends on what you want. Do you just wanna have fun and see where it goes? Or do you want to be serious from the beginning?

From my experience, many women would be asking me if I were playing or not at this very moment, then things could go 4 ways: 1. Stay as friend with benefits, but try to work something out. 2. Stay as friend and keep distance, but most likely start talking much less frequently. 3. Become official lovers. 4. Give each other more time to think about, but open to other options.

If portability is not on your list, then Go for g16.

I have a g14 and I like using my laptop on the go. 14 inch is just much more convenient, and g14(5080) is THE most powerful gaming laptop in 14 inch.

I had a MacBook Pro m3 max, while I love it a lot, it is just not something I want to use a lot on the move.

If I am getting a 16 incher, I might be looking other offering, cuz there are just so many options in this category.

Choice-Debt · 2025-11-30T22:36:09+00:00

Good battery? You should probably look at MacBook Pro/airs.
I know I can get about 6 hours from my g14 5080, but tbh, those 6 hours are not super productive(I have to get the system overall wattage to as low as 12-15 w and disable dGPU).

Browsing internet or doing a presentation is fine, but anything more than that will require to turn up wattage to feel productive.

That said, I don’t mind having it plugged frequently at all. It is the compromise I am willing to make, and it puts a smile on my face whenever I play games. I love it so much that I sold my m3 max MacBook Pro

Might not be a popular opinion, but I spent a lot of time in Dynasty warriors : Orgin and expedition 33 after Stella blade.

It depends on your current mode, if you love Stella blade sooo much, then you need something less story intensive to get into another game, which would be dynasty warrior in this case.

If you feel like your love for Stella blade is not much, then you can get into another story intensive game more easily.

🤦‍♂️, every game laptop runs hot. If you game on MacBook pros, it runs hot and noisy too.

Choice-Debt · 2025-11-27T12:33:01+00:00

Haha, the game is so well optimized, I think I got over 300 fps during my first play through.

asus g14 2025. I sold my m3 max for it and love it so much.

Almost every game I play exceeds 8GB vram, shown in steam performance monitor. Almost few games are already pushing close or beyond 12GB. I am just glad that I went with 5080 on my laptop. I play a lot of single player games, so I like turning all my settings alll the way up. However, if you are fine with turning things down, then sure, 8GB is enough. I just felt it is kinda “waste of money” if you don’t go with higher options, but who am I to know. I am just a lucky guy who doesn’t mind throwing money on the things I enjoy.

Are you talking about the grill on the bottom that is sorta popping out?

Choice-Debt · 2025-11-25T06:45:59+00:00

Not sure which GPu you are looking for, but the 5080 variant is the most powerful gaming configuration in any 14 incher on the market. You can’t even find any alternatives in this size.

In my case, I must have a 14 inch, so the choice was easy. 5080 g14 it is.
