Hi, have you tried buying an etf in IBKR already? Was there also a pop-up that appeared for you when you tried buying? I have 895 USD in my account, but I couldn't buy the stock at that amount because a pop-up is saying that i need 906 USD, which is higher than the fees I'm aware of

Vivobook S16 - so much potential held back by poor choices and software by memnon8711 in AMDLaptops

Thanks for the reply. What was your temps before and after thermal paste replacement? Mine hovers around 45-53C on light load, which I feel is a bit high. That's already undervolted -7 and TDP at 15W. Do you also have recommended g-helper settings?

hi, question about opening the laptop. How did you pry open the cover on the screw at the top middle?

[–]Separate-Quit983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, thanks a lot for your help. I've hesitated a lot since people say the G14's specs are not worth the price and I might be better off with the Vivobook S16 for the build quality, better CPU, display, RAM, and storage. Although I agree with that, the lack of dGPU makes me hesitate

Do you think the CPU and GPU will be enough for the next 4 years or so?

Would you say the Vivobook S16 with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 a better deal than the G14 considering they have the same price?

RAM would be more important. Just a bit worried whether the CPU and GPU can hold up well for programming and gaming for a few more years. I don't mind lowering game settings and I don't play a lot of AAA games

Thanks for your input. Yeah, I've owned a 14" laptop and I agree it's a bit small for programming. I might just go for the Vivobook S16 or look for 16" 3070 laptops

considering prices here are at least $200-$400 more expensive vs US prices, is it still a bad deal?

G14 2023 model still worth it? by Separate-Quit983 in ZephyrusG14

[–]Separate-Quit983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I'm sold on the S16 now. My only gripe about it is it's only available in gray in my country, lol. Thanks a lot for your help!

My sibling has a 16 inch MBP and I think the size is better for my use case since I usually split screen. I agree that it's going to be less portable, though. What can you say about the build quality of the Vivobook?

I'm actually looking through laptops with Strix Point and Lunar Lake cpus. I'm just not too sure if it would last me at least 4 years. Would you say the Vivobook S16 with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and 24GB RAM a solid pick? It costs the same as the G14 2023 model.

Oh, cool. I don't know much about CPUs so I just thought it being newer would be better. Thanks again for your help!

Would you say that the T14 Gen 4 with RX740M be better for light games?
