[@mohitjakhar4025]

@@thisismewtwo8149 same, honestly if you aren't working on a big project (1500+ lines of code or 10gb of resources in games) , even a 4 core will serve you well, ideally if you are gonna use it for 5+ years, get 8 cores 16 threads for sure, 16 gb ram minimum, 512gb ssd and if you can buy a 1tb external ssd(Trust me , it's something I can't live without anymore, transferring data files worth 100+ gb is super easy), and if you are hoping to go into 3d game design or video editing down the road, a dedicated gpu is a must,4 gb will suffice, 6 gb recommended, and finally , weight and battery life, ideally should be less than 2 kg and atleast 6+ hrs , considering all this a g14(5800hs/5900hs, ideally 3060 ,3050 will be alright and 1650 isn't recommended going into 2022) or flow x13(5900hs, sadly 1650 but it's convertible). personally i would buy the g14, if the m1 macbook air was optimized for game design i would've wholeheartedly recommended that but arm is still very much early beta (still plenty fast i should mention)in that regards i would say wait for the m2 version if you like the mac systems. basically get the m2 mac air or g14 with 8 core cpu

G14 runs way more hotter than G15 and G15 offer better GPU meanwhile g14 got rtx 3060 maxq (i think its 60w) at best tier. Don't get more wrong, rtx 3060 is good but it won't last much.

Thanks for the in depth reviews of new laptops. I went ahead and purchased the Best Buy configuration of this model based on your recommendations. I had been eyeing the 3080 white version, but based on your reviews and what I have seen from other tech youtubers, the actual performance of the mobile 3080 isn't worth the premium price tag at the moment. Still quite a nice jump going from a 1060 laptop to a 3070 lol.

[@Felstory]

Dave, just had to let you know that I write this comment to you because of your recommendation for the G14. Absolutely love it! Stoked to see that ASUS is continuing this trend of solid machines.

hi, this is a very interesting comment. I'm in france and a week ago i bought this zephyrus G15 GA503 model, it looks nice and all BUT !!! it doesn't got multi color keyboard lighting, it's just plain old white... i've tried amoury crate, tried amoury creator, nothing works; on the net some say it has multicolor, while others say no it doesn't; reseller has no clue on the subject and asus helpdesk told me that "it should have multi color !!" ... so, i am very confused... does it have multi color or not ? u seem to testify that it DOES, some youtuber did showcase G15 with rainbow color the first time the machine boots... but mine is simple only WHITE, or maybe the model for the US is different ? so in the end i'm returning this machine the same day because of this confusing issue and it's very unpleasant... asus customer service is like worse than the worst... what a mess :/

I got my 2021 3070 g15 from best buy for 1400$ on sale a couple days ago and I absolutely love it! I do recommend a cooling pad with a usb hub though. I also got an extra 1tb m.2 to go with it and it's super easy to install!

I've been saving for xps 17 this year. I might need to think again!

[@abramjessiah]

Same. I was gonna go xps but waited and got this instead. Couldn't be happier.

2:14 are your B and N keys slightly angled towards each other? I've noticed this with my white G15 and was wondering if it's a cause for concern.

One question I just purchased one on Best Buy, I'd like to know what's the expandability in regards to RAM and HHD/SSD options and ease of upgrading. Thank you so much for the review Dave killer work!

While the only shortage is missing the webcam, this Ryzen Laptop is perfect. I wish ASUS come up a G17 with a 4K display
