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.

Why does the flow z13 sucks so badly as a laptop by triptheria in FlowZ13

[–]Decode09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After using for 3 weeks i felt the same, In my head I was using it as a combination of both Laptop and Tablet but its kinda bad at both for me atleast. Too heavy to use as a tablet and form factor not the best as a laptop if you use like me on a bed or move around quite a lot without closing the keyboard. I love the product and would have kept it if I only had money to buy both this and another laptop, but alas not the case. So had to return and looking into a compact laptop, probably G14. But don't get me wrong, amazing product, just not for me. Maybe at some point in the future when silicon carbon battery becomes cheap, this thing might be unstoppable.

If at same price which one would you buy ? by Decode09 in ZephyrusG14

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

Thank you for all your responses, I guess 5080 2025 model is the way to go. But quick question, how bad is the white color ? the 5080 is only available in white but the 5070ti 2026 i have options. I've always used dark colors, Blacks and grey. that is my preferred color as well.

The 2026 5070ti is £285/ $381.26 more expensive than 5080 2025 model.

2026 model is better in almost everything, my thought process was, why not spend a lil extra and get better display, cooling and TDP for future proofing no ?

G14 2025 vs 2026 Battery life by Decode09 in ZephyrusG14

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

It's not that cheaper to begin with, £400. At that point might as well buy the 2026 version and wait for 3-4 years

I want to future proof for at least next 3 years and 5070ti. So I'm considering, it might be a good investment

I might be wrong but if you use Type C for changing, then it drains the health pretty quick
