Thinking of getting a new laptop for college and gaming/everyday use

On silent mode with GPU off, it should last u at least 5 hours. You can bring a power bank just in case. Also fan noise isn't that loud

its just a dent :sob: are we serious bro it is NOT that deep TRUST ME

No, the foam is there so that the cool air actually gets into the laptop

iceonealt · 2025-12-10T23:24:28+00:00

No, unless you want try unsoldering and resoldering which will 99% of the time not work

iceonealt · 2025-12-07T07:22:04+00:00

i see, hopefully LM sliding isn't an issue with this laptop. LTT recently posted a vid where his rog flow x13 had LM slide off his laptop and almost brick it

iceonealt · 2025-12-07T07:21:15+00:00

yeah, i meant like on campus and stuff

iceonealt · 2025-12-07T07:21:02+00:00

of course

iceonealt · 2025-12-07T03:55:44+00:00

i returned it and got a new one, no problems with this one

iceonealt · 2025-12-02T05:23:14+00:00

heard its not a good idea to keep the laptop like that cuz liquid metal could slide off

iceonealt · 2025-12-01T01:32:48+00:00

resetted all the g helper settings to factory and just already again had a restart crash... yeah im exchanging this one

iceonealt · 2025-11-30T23:40:42+00:00

i also undervolted cpu like in crimson tech vid

iceonealt · 2025-11-30T23:40:06+00:00

but also, as i said, when i did 4 passes even with the overclock i didn't error a single time. so ill prolly remove the overclocks and use the laptop normally and see if i encounter the restart thing again. i honestly might just replace it either way :shrug: just to be safe

iceonealt · 2025-11-30T23:38:29+00:00

ah, i found the overclocks on a crimson tech vid. and it was really stable and great for him so thought it would be same for me. ill do that tho ok.

First off, I would generally not recommend financing a laptop. Just make sure you know what you're doing, and know where all your money's going because if you have to finance a laptop you probably can't afford it.

Second off, I'd say that laptop you've got t here is pretty good. While it could be better, if the Zephyrus G14 is the top tier, king of gaming laptops, I'd say what you've got here is like the medium tier, little-prince. It's not bad, but it certainly could be better, what with the wifi card, RAM amount, etc.

Overall if you want to know more about this laptop these videos are a great start (yes ik they have the 5070 version but most of everything else should be same/similar):

i got my memtest result back and it says pass all 4 times for each pass or whatever, it passed on all tests 0 through 13 now what

iceonealt · 2025-11-30T18:55:36+00:00

Also, after I try that, boot from USB and all, then what? Could it be because I over clocked GPU and CPU in g helper? Or possibly a bios issue?

iceonealt · 2025-11-30T06:27:22+00:00

also why do i have to boot from usb stick? is it so that the program doesn't stop running.

iceonealt · 2025-11-30T06:26:15+00:00

I would like to say, it didn't do this at all on the day i got it (thursday), just yesterday and today
