Edit: Fingerprint reader is NOT as bad as some reviews. Fingerprint is cached when you power on and proceeds directly to Windows desktop most of the time. No webcam/windows hello, but then again with the fingerprint reader you can automatically log in with different user accounts (e.g. personal and business) by using different fingers.
The display color is great - I can't measure the response times, but I hear they are relatively high for competitive gaming, but for me, I'm sure I couldn't tell the difference.
The SSD speed is middle of the road ~1700 MB/sec sequential, but symmetric - close for both read and write.
I'm sure that for gaming alone there might be better choices, but I also need the extra cores for virtualization and the 2060 for possible machine learning acceleration. This is a XPS15 or MacBook Pro alternative.
The cherry on top is the fact that it's only 3.5 lbs. My employer requires that I lug around a hobbled Dell 7490, so I thought I'd be relegated to relatively under powered Ultrabooks. But this is a perfect fit in the middle.

There may be some people who will dislike this thread because it's not a pure deal thread, but for products that are very frequently out of stock, I personally don't mind postings about them when there is stock.
I want the Zephyrus G14, which has an excellent value at $1,449.50, but the lack of a built-in webcam may force me to pass on it. That's pushing me towards the $1,779.99 Razer Blade Stealth 13 (2020) [theverge.com] that just became available on 04/21/2020, but the GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q in the Razer isn't as powerful as the RTX 2060 in the G14. I kinda wanna get the $1,999.99 Razer Blade 15 Advanced (2020) with the RTX 2070 Max-Q, but the size is a bit large and is no longer an ultrabook. If anyone has a recommendation between these or a similar gaming ultrabook or laptop, please share!
Take care,

How often do you actually use a webcam? The 2060 is significantly more powerful than the 1650, and Razer has notorious quality control issues. In terms of raw performance and value, the G14 simply cannot be beat right now. At $1,450 it's a steal. I'd suggest buying the G14 and a standalone Logitech webcam for if/when you do need one, which would outperform any built-in webcam anyway.

I had my heart set on the Asus G14, then saw the MSI GS66 ($1500 with 2060 max p and 144hz 3ms display) and thought I made up my mind. Because neither were in stock, I discovered ThinkPad X1 Extreme and went for Gen 2 refurbished for $1250. Has weaker gpu and complaints about battery life, so I went for FHD HDR display and the pros of professional looks, better build quality, unmatched keyboard and nubbin, 3.75 lbs for a 15.6" won me over.
The Eluktronics Max 15 is another one to consider. $1200 for 2060 max p or $1400 for 2070 max p in a 15.6" that weighs only 3.8 lbs. Both come with 144hz display.

Let's not forget about the cpu selection here. The main selling point for many is the new Ryzen 9 cpu in this zephyrus.

The look of this laptop is not the best looking ones.

I know it is very convenient to have a built in webcam, but I just got the Logitech one that has some kind of privacy cap and really love it. So much so that when I bought a webcam that seemed better spec wise (1080p 60fps vs 1080p 30fps of logitech) I right away went back to using the logitech.
Anyways. I am sure you have good reason for wanting the built in webcam. But something I think I heard on Linus tech tips is that with (some not all) laptop cams you are forced to move your own body/head so people arent getting a view that looks up your nostrils.
I am sure some minor adjustments would fix this. But while using a seperate webcam might not look as sexy as having one built in, they often times make up for in both functionality/Mobileness
However, while I think windows hello works with most webcams you just set on top of the monitor. If that is the feature you want a built in webcam with then I understand.
I have an msi gs65 and have to turn the fans all the way to Max to play games and get good frame rates on the 144hz screen, even after under volting the cpu, it's loud as hell, but when I put headphones on you really don't notice it.
My point being, the fans in these new slim laptops are going to need to be at Max to try to achieve the high frame rate, otherwise they'll cook.
There's a Zephyrus G14 subreddit and someone linked me to this, so you can hear them.

If you can get past a little, to moderate, to A LOT (while gaming) fan noise and no webcam...this laptop is 🤯
With RyzenMaster, setting 15w tdp on battery and full 35w tdp (maybe more) on AC would give long battery life (this laptop's 76wh battery is bigger than LG Gram 14) and desktop performance (I read it is on par with i5-9600k) on AC with a cooling pad.
