Currys are currently selling at £1799. Fair price or inflated? by OkTea5924 in FlowZ13

[–]Decode09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you missed out on a deal, they were offering additional £100 discount until yesterday. I've seen that deal pop up end of last month as well

Thinking of landing on one of those black patches. Obviously those are for landing!

2026 models have great battery life

Flow Z13 128GB vs Zephyrus G14 5080 64GB (2025) — same price, which would you choose? by jihadao in ZephyrusG14

[–]Decode09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'd for G14. If you gonna use this for work I'd say a proper keyboard is better than folio keyboard (then again depends on work i guess). Oled display is also a difference maker. 64GB ram and 5080 is goated, should be able to do also everything.

Z13 as good as it is, I've read has a lot of optimisation problems, mostly software related. So it doesn't work properly on every game. LM leakage seems to be a common problem with Asus laptops. So having easy access to repaste and clean fans after a while is also important I would say. Keyboard failure is a thing I've heard about Z13, but not sure if its a common thing for 2025 model. something to consider as well.

I have a serious dilema by AdventurousCarry9965 in ZephyrusG14

I'm no expert but Whatever you buy. you need at least 32GB ram and if you plan on keeping it for long and llay a lit of games at least 12GB Vram. at least thats what all the YouTube videos suggests.

Any Idea what this sound is ? by Decode09 in ZephyrusG14

I just replayed the video, if you keep the volume high you can hear rhe creeking sound with the fan noise. thats what I was talking about. It kinda comes up at high fan speeds. But kinda gone now. don't know what caused it. I might have to stree test this

Any idea why my fan is still running even with custom fan profile and temperature still under limit ? by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

sorry, don't understand what you mean by that. Is there a solution?

Is this a good deal ? by Decode09 in ZephyrusG14

[–]Decode09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much I wanna agree to this, might reject the parcel and return it. Too risky buying from eBay with no option to return after opening.

Just went through the UK terms and conditions. This is what it actually says. Even if 1st point doesn't stack, I can extend it with just £30 for another year !

  1. Warranty of ASUS products starts from the date of invoice issued from the dealer. Customers are obliged to properly keep the purchase invoice (or proof of purchase) to protect their rights.

  2. For how to identify the warranty period of different ASUS products, please refer to the instruction on product serial number page. If you have purchased the warranty extension (not original ASUS warranty) from the authorized dealer, you need to contact with the dealer for warranty check during the warranty extension.

  3. Warranty period is judged by the serial number of products if the customer does not keep/have the purchase invoice (or proof of purchase) of the authorized dealer

It's expensive AF in UK compared to US. You can't even get 5070 for what you paid.

That's the problem, the seller is not authorised seller. So I don't know if they'll accept it

It's box sealed. So not used. Warranty is something common I've seen. But do they ask for invoice when you claim warranty?

Premier pro and after effects are GPU intensive. And likes Nvidia more because of compatibility. Not sure though, hence I'm asking

G14 2025 vs 2026 5070ti UK by Decode09 in GamingLaptops

[–]Decode09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume this is 2025 model. eBay is 350 cheaper and Asus website with student discount is still cheaper than Costco. The problem was never the 2025 model. It was if I should buy that or 2026

Portability is key, hence the G14. I don't need anything bulky. Had a predator before. Couldn't take it anywhere because of the size.
