Great deal on the 32gb variant of this excellent laptop at just $80 more than the 16gb version from BestBuy. The SSD is half the size, but the laptop has two m.2 slots. Since the RAM is soldered, those who are concerned with RAM capacity who love a good performing, lightweight gaming laptop with a beautiful OLED may want to jump on this.

Yes, we are constantly hearing about your g14. Almost as often as Freedom_Penguin talking about his open box MicroCenter unicorn deal A16.

Looks are subjective. So other than that here are some other comparisons:

This machine is also a metal build.

Unlike the g14, this has two M2 slots.

The g14 has one soldered and one open ram slot, while this has all ram soldered.

This has a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello but no IR in the camera. I believe the g14 is the opposite.

This also has USBC charging with a 140w charger. 7840 HS offers about the same performance as the 7940 HS.

This has a 76 W battery and gets about the same battery life as the g14 in most testing. Thermals are better than the Asus. There's mixed info on the availability of g-sync. Some reviews say it has it with Optimus off, others say it just doesn't have it.

The g14 has a brighter, less color accurate matte IPS display.

This has a slightly less bright glossy OLED.. which, once you use an OLED, you will never want to use an IPS again.

Lastly, you bought your g14 open box for $850. This is brand new. Let's compare new vs new. For less than $100 more than the $1050 g14 you're getting double the ram, an extra m.2 slot and a gorgeous, larger, and faster responding OLED display.
G14 gets hotter. Has a worse screen. Looks cheaper. Worse software. More high chance of backlight bleed.

Very tempting vs the 2023 G14 4060 at $1050 once that price comes back (like it always does)...

Garbage gpu.
This comes with a 4060 - whoever edited the deal made a typo when they put it to the frontpage.

Quote from Peerless_Warrior :
Design wise g14 looks nice. It's a metal build, 16GB/512 SSD, big glass trackpad, long battery life, 7940hs, USB c charging, etc. Asus bloat is buggy and causes issues.

This Slim 5 has 32GB, OLED ( chance of burn in, but also way better color reproduction), better Q/C and warranty, and slightly larger screen. Not sure about battery or thermals.

I paid 850 for my G14 with 4060...and this deal is 1140 pretax. So big gap for me personally.

Where did you get G14 with 4060 for 850?

I'd only mention this with the disclaimer that 140W only works with Lenovo's charger, which pushes 7-Amps through the USB-C port; this is out of spec for USB-C. Hence why it only works with their charger. I do wonder if that will eventually cause a problem, especially once the port gets worn or after some debris coats the pins.

100W using anyone else's 20V/5A USB-C charger is fine though. I wish USB-PD 240W would hurry up already for travel purposes, not that one really needs that much power on the go Wink

This is excellent! As a former owner of a legion and a current owner of a G14, I will say that the ASUS build quality is one massive perk. It is premium feeling, premium looking, and was better for me to actually travel around with.

I didn't see any small print that excludes a Business account purchase, it just says lenovo.com so the AmEx offer would appear to work.

The OLED screen doesn't do g-sync / freesync. I was really tempted to place an order and find out if the offer works, but missing g-sync is rough.
