So, I got an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA403UI (2024, Gray, 8945hs, 4070 Mobile (Laptop GPU)), and it's mostly good, but there's some issues. I'm having some DPC latency issues and also, the trackpad towards the bottom if I lightly apply and remove pressure (not necessarily enough for a full click), it makes a sound (kind of like a tick, click, or rattle (I don't know if it could actually be called a rattle though)). So, what are your thoughts on the DPC latency and trackpad issues my G14 is having?

For those who do not understand the reason for the micro sd card port, it's not that you can just use a dongle to read any card, but it's a cheap way to add storage to the laptop. Some 1 TB micro sd cards can sell for about $65, so in a way, it converts the laptop from 1 TB to 2 TB albeit one is the ssd.

I have an m3 max, and a fully spec'd out g14. I find myself using the M3 Max around the house, mostly because the battery literally never dies, and the Apple trackpad is far superior to the g14. For productivity and developer work, Apple wins. For travel, or any time I want remote access to a gaming rig, the g14 is a delightful swap out for the M3 Max. On the developer side, WSL provides me with a workable solution to missing Unix. On the productivity side, you have to flip a few switches to low, but battery life isn't terrible. Hell, even light gaming on battery is fine, with Valorant pulling something like 65-75 FPS on battery at full res / all settings. The main issues are in Windows. I hate how I have to always be thinking about battery. I hate having to think about what "mode" my GPU is in. I hate having to swap resolutions, refresh rates, all of those things, to not have 2 hours of battery life on a brand new laptop. The M3 max GPU, which is roughly equivalent to a mobile 4070, has no such burden for the user. It just works. Windows should really focus on making shit that just works. When using the M3 Max, I find myself missing the g14 screen. The colors really pop -- it's so sharp and vibrant. The G14 speakers are great, but the fans are super loud if you're gaming so you should probably be using headphones anyways. For productivity / youtube / netflix, the g14 is a joy of a laptop. The g14 gets moderately hot while gaming. Nothing out of the ordinary here, and nothing that my M3 Max doesn't also do. If you can only have one laptop, and you absolutely must game, the g14 is coming scary close to beating the macbook pro as my daily carry. What I see are almost all fixable, software problems with Windows + the Asus BIOS.

Hey there! Thanks so much. G14 at Turbo Mode can get loud but seems fairly normal for a laptop with these specs. I think if you care about upgrading RAM/SSD, then the Blade for sure. They are quite similar, but I think G14 is worth it for the OLED display, speakers, and their software isn’t as heavy as Razer’s out of the box with Armoury Crate. Plus you can still upgrade SSD. Just not the RAM.

If you think of long term bro, Go for 32 gigs. Back then 8-16 gb of ram is enough to play games but right now even 16 gb starts to struggle sometimes. The more features and tech developed, the more ram we need. In 5 years, everything would be more advanced and I’m pretty sure 16 gb is not a smart choice. Save a abit more, take your time and choose the best one for you. Don’t rush. The laptop you buy will expand your limits in the long term.

The G14 isn't almost as good as the MacBook, it's better than a MacBook. It does everything and it does it better than any other 14" I have tested. Also I recently went from the 16GB which I used for 40 days to the 32GB and it seems ASUS is listening to the cons because the screen is tighter. The screen wobble on my new device is so marginal you can't even see it anymore, compared to the previous 16GB I was using. Also from testing both 14" and 16" you can tell there is a significant wobble with the bigger model. For some reason the G16 didn't feel like something that was portable enough for me and the battery life in some cases is half of what I can squeeze out of the G14 which is roughly 10 hours.

Haven’t tried the 9i unfortunately, but hopefully I can get my hands on that! Could sway me to that though if it’s as good as the spec sheet but it’ll depend on hardware, design and overall performance.

Can’t say if it’s necessarily better since I’ve only seen Glaxybooks in person twice and can’t judge it without really testing it. But the OLED on these G14/G16 laptops are beautiful and they actually worked with Samsung for these panels.

Personally I prefer the g14 because the 16 inch size on the g16 is kinda too large to carry around. And trust me if you go with the g16 a 4080 is more than enough for 99.9 percent of your games (especially if you play on performance settings in games).

Yoga Pro has a MiniLED screen that is better for outdoor usage, while G16 has better colors and deeper blacks. Both have great but different keyboards: Yoga Pro has a proper numpad with Home, End, PgUp, PgDwn keys at the proper location (unlike most other laptops with a numpad), while G16 has a centered keyboard without a numpad.

ASUS has a limitation of 1TB on the 2023 G14 base; I have no idea about this year, but I assume the same. They say there could be issues above this, and I presume your warranty would be voided if it caused problems. People on forums have used 4TB but I would not recommend it, and suggest 2TB and hopefully no issues.

I have the G16, when plugged in and gaming the fans get somewhat loud, and it gets really hot, depending on the situation. It had gotten so hot that I could feel it on the keyboard and it got uncomfortable, and the bottom of the laptop is so hot it would burn your legs if you was using it as a *lap*top. The battery life for any Zephyrus with an Intel CPU is awful, on idle the thing would die pretty fast even when not doing anything, if you want one get one with a Ryzen.
