I'm hoping that down the road, this is the machine it was meant to be.

Pros:
- Wicked fast (even though it's last year's model)
- Excellent speakers
- Lightweight
- Very solid chassis
- Excellent trackpad
- Great keyboard (though a bit squishy)
- USB-C charging useful in a pinch (not while gaming)
- Quiet operation when not gaming
- Power brick not too big (for a gaming laptop)
- Has fingerprint scanner
- Excellent battery life if not using discrete GPU
- Vibrant screen
- Good screen refresh rate (though not top of line)
- 1080 screen = faster frame rates when gaming
Cons:- Fans loud when gaming
- Thermals are good considering the size of the computer, but limiting CPU boost is recommended (search reddit for steps)
- Keyboard backlighting is hard to see unless very little or no ambient light
- Keyboard layout missing some keys
- No webcam
- Some quality control variations reported (happy with mine)
- Some screen backlight bleed (not much on mine)
- Screen not that responsive for certain types of games (not noticeable for most)
- Screen brightness fine inside, but not great in daylight
- 1080 screen not as good for productivity as 1440
Fantastic computer overall. The screen, keyboard, and trackpad aren't as good as a Macbook or Pixelbook i7, but they're still great.However, some reviews say that Asus incorporated the best parts of the G14 into the 2021 redesign of the G15. It's 0.7 pounds more than the G14, but that seems like a reasonable tradeoff for a 15.6" 1440 screen. Might get the 3070 version (though bang-for-your buck, the 3060 is probably the sweet spot and it's in stock [bestbuy.com] for $1500... 512 GB is a bit low, but the G15's extra M.2 slot makes that easy to address).
Gaming yes loud that only over the ear headphones can fix, browsing internet I don't think the fan kicked in.

A lot has already been said before on this forum but for me, these are the reasons for returning it:
- Poor colors. As said before this display has poor color reproduction. I could never get over the fact that a lot of things looked dull and wrong. For example reds and blues are dull while greens are great.
- Input lag. This display is 144Hz and improved on the 2021 G14 but it's still bad! Inputs are delayed and this really takes the fun out of playing FPS games. Casual games and productivity use will be fine however.
- Poor display response. This is noticeable when gaming, as blacks and other colors will essentially smear across the screen. Running the UFO test is an absolute mess and unacceptable for a display in a gaming laptop. G15 display has 100% DCI-P3 color reproduction and is much more vibrant with better response time and input lag.
- Poor thermals. CPU likes to sit at about 96C and the CPU runs at about 85C. For me that is unacceptable regardless of form factor. The 2021 G15 runs at 70C on the CPU and 65C on the GPU.
Pros:
- Battery life: I was getting over 9 hours of battery life at about 30% brightness.
- CPU performance: This thing outperforms the G15 despite running hotter..... Destroys anything Intel has to offer.
- Keyboard. Excellent tactile feedback and clack. Keys are stable and of good quality.
- Trackpad. Glass trackpad is excellent and almost as good as a Razer Blade.
- Speakers. Probably the best speakers I've ever heard on a laptop....

I bought a Legion 5 before getting the G14. The Legion's screen is very well regarded and on paper has advantages: higher refresh (240Hz), faster screen response (1-3 ms), brighter (500 nits). It also has less backlight bleed. But side-to-side, the Lenovo's screen was a bit dull compared to the G14's.
I often switch back and forth between it and a Macbook and Pixelbook i7; the other screens are better, but the G14 is still quite good (though I'd like more pixels for general use and Tabletop Simulator).
Speed:
Compiling and encoding are indeed wicked fast considering it's a 3.5 pound computer.
For gaming, it depends on what you throw at it. MS Flight Sim is pretty intensive, but I find it very playable even with most settings on high (and some on ultra). Still, concerns over performance at 1440 are why I ordered the 3070 G15 rather than the 3060 G15 (happened to find the 3070 available for pickup in a week, and had a birthday coupon, so I jumped on it).
My Legion 5 produced higher frame rates than the G14, but not by much (the G14's faster CPU offsets some of the Legion's higher wattage GPU advantages) and 5.5 pounds vs 3.5 pounds was noticeable (that's the main reason I returned the Legion 5).
If you don't prioritize portability, there are heavier laptops with better performance (or you can get a desktop).
USB-C charging:
Indeed there have been some cases of people frying their motherboards [reddit.com] after simultaneously charging with the power plug and USB-C(PD). It's a pretty serious design flaw (I don't know if they fixed it for the 2021 G14, or if it's an issue with the 2021 G15).
Some users reported having no problems keeping their 2020 G14s plugged into USB-C(PD) monitors while also using the power brick, but I decided not to take any chances and use a DP to USB-C cable.
With open-box I recommend you always re-install windows fresh. Backup the old install with Macrium/Acronis if needed.

Well friend you are just wrong. Want proof? Read some reviews and the number of thumbs up on the deal. You fail in the court of public opinion.
this is one of the best rated laptops in it's class. your opinion can't change that.
have a great day pooping on other deals.
No, reinstalling drivers isn't a big deal. I refreshed me, worked fine.
Yeah, sure. The legion 5 is ass . Cheap casing, hot as balls, no RTX, less ram.
Buying HP is a joke.
I'm thinking you're a hating troll because where do I say the 2060mq is equivalent to my Super?? It's a laptop , of course it's not as good as my desktop, but it performs just as well on OW, WOW, ESO, Witcher 3 and a few others on MAX.

I've read plenty of reviews. Really? What's the top comment ya goofie, most deals get easy upvotes on the main page, not always in the comment section. https://laptops.mirahez
Issues I've stated are real, and sad. Nothing excuses such a display. People need to be aware of that, or should we not educate them?

That's exactly what you implied when you said it performs the same. Go read your original comment again and you'll see who stated it performed similar to the 2060 super, work on your wording. It's still flawed as you just said it performs just as well on a list of games when that's IMPOSSIBLE, are you using those words differently?
"Hot as balls" the legion 5 is literally known as the coolest running laptop in its class and is one of the reasons it's the MOST recommend laptop in this price range, must not know much about gaming laptops then huh. No RTX? Uh, I just stated it has a 2060.. that's an RTX card?? It's 16gb ram, and the G14 was never known to run cool either, certainly louder and hotter then the legion 5, RIP.
"Buying HP is a joke" this is the tell tale sign when somebody rights off all laptops under a brand just because and has zero legitimacy to their claims. And yet, the HP Omen was one of the best midrange laptops last year, right next to the legion. The chassis is mostly the same so the same pros of last gen apply to the new generation.
