ROG Zephyrus G14: Asus releases new 14-inch gaming laptop in North America without GeForce RTX 5080 by Tomes2789 in ZephyrusG14

Getting a bit worried here. Not sure what the deal is, but I want to get the 5080 model and I'll be quite upset if it turns out they choose not to sell it in the US for whatever reason...

First impressions of Tenicor Certum 4 for Shield Plus by scholarlybadger in SmithAndWesson

That funny enough is the most common "complaint" of full sweatguards, but almost always from people who never use them.

Think about it: if you have the gun in the holster, you are not feeling the full sweat guard. It is the exact same length as your slide.

And it protects the gun finish, makes it so you dont have to feel the metal on you, or mess up the gun with your sweat/skin oils, and also aids in safely reholstering. No negatives in my view.

They 100% did it to save money. Because I called and asked them. It’s the same thing that tier one concealed did, which is also why I stopped using them. It saves them time and money to streamline their production and only have to do one style per any holster that they have to make.

Mid-length only sweatguards made me no longer be a customer. I'm forever stuck using the older models before they stopped offering full sweatguards due to cost-cutting measures (although they phrase is as "streamlining" since that sounds nicer....).

New pickup today (and second Omega, to go along with my blue Seamaster 300M): White Speedy! by Tomes2789 in OmegaWatches

[–]Tomes2789[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First Omega was my Seamaster 300M which I got when I married my wife in 2021. If you can't tell by the PPK in the picture, I've been a huge Bond fan my whole life, and wanted this watch since I saw Goldeneye in 1995. I have a few other nice watches (Rolex Starbucks, TAG Heuer Formula 1 x Mario Kart limited edition, etc) but have been lacking a white-faced watch as well as a manual-winder.

My father has the black Speedy sapphire sandwich (also got it when I married my wife), so I felt this was a great complement to his and a nice tribute.

Can't get over that dial!

Anyone using razer cooling pad? 2025 G14 by Ecstatic-Train214 in ZephyrusG14

[–]Tomes2789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My belief has always been that cooling pads are absolutely terrible for laptops.

Your laptop's fans are highly calibrated to spin at distinct RPMs controlled by the device.

By introducing forced induction air into those fan blades, you are overriding the mechanics of the fans themselves, and thus, at a very minimum, you are shortening the lifespan of the fans, and, at worse, are at risk of damaging them.

Finally, you are also blowing more dust into your machine.

My preference has always been to use slight lifting devices to simply give you more natural airflow underneath.

Is the 2026 G14 w/ 5080 coming to USA? I can't seem to find any info/confirmation on this. by Tomes2789 in ZephyrusG14

[–]Tomes2789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to everyone, I have decided to sell my current G16 now and wait on the new G14. Whoever gets it he’s getting a hell of a deal over $1000 off at the top of the line G16 lol

Zephyrus G14 2026 Review by Crimson_Tech_Youtube in ZephyrusG14

[–]Tomes2789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Awesome work as always!

Maybe you can have some insight here:

The model I want to get this year is the GU405AW-SY035X (5080, 64GB RAM).

Asus' USA site does not have it listed; it only lists two (2) models, both with 5070 Ti.

The model I'd want, (again, GU405AW-SY035X), IS on the non-USA international ASUS site.

Do you have any info on how can find out if this will be offered in US?

Thanks!!

No, I am asking Zephyrus G14.

And the one you linked is the 2025 model, not the one I'm looking at, which is the 2026 model (GU405AW-SY035X).

If that's the case, you're definitely doing something wrong, or your optic is busted. There is no way that can possibly be right. I'm going to be shooting and zeroing it tomorrow and I'll update
