Pros:

Portability, one of two known 14" "gaming" laptops (the other is 14" razer which you wont get at this price point)
Lightweight magnesium alloy build.

Cons:

60w rtx 3060 (dynamic boost up to 80w)
One m.2 slot
White on silver keyboard makes keys a bit difficult to see
No webcam

Incorrect. There is 8gb that is soldered. The other 8gb you can swap out to a single 32gb for a total of 40gb.

Aren't the Ryzen 6xxx series laptops coming out in a matter of months? I'd wait.

Yes. That's one thing holding me back, as well as RTX 4060 and RX 7600M

Awesome, thanks for that. I might look a little more into it and scoop one up then. I was so excited when I pre-ordered my original and I wanted to like it so badly. The form factor and specs are so unique. I've been using the Flow X13 which is pretty cool, but I'm not into glossy screens and with it being touch that's the only option.
Yep. Be sure to check out the subreddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/ZephyrusG14/

I was deciding between a few laptop choices and the community there convinced me to buy this laptop over others with all the support and friendliness there

They have some optimization posts which made this from a great laptop to an even better one

While the coppers and fans are decently designed, the screen rotated down blocking the rear exhausts while bouncing the fan noise back to the user is a weird choice. Perhaps that's part of the reasons why the 3060 is limited to 60W (instead of 100W like the Legion 7 Slim 15").

BB listed the new Zephyrus M16, if that's anything to go by, prices are going up for the 2022 models so it may be a good time to snag a deal on a 2021 model without paying the DDR5/shortage tax.
Why I'm seeing the m16 w/3060 is even cheaper than current listing? The 3070 Ti version is $2150 but this performance never achieved on 2021 gen M16, 3070 Ti basically a 3080.

Killer setup for portable VR with a Quest 2. I have this exact model of the Zephyrus. You can host a local hotspot from the laptop's WiFi, connect the Quest 2 to that, then use Virtual Desktop/AirLink without a separate router.

Setting it up that way gave me a Half-Life: Alyx experience as good or better than my 3080 desktop connected via ethernet to a Netgear Nighthawk WiFi 6 router dedicated solely to VR (though obviously the router setup has a lot more range--it can reach anywhere in the house).

I have this particular model and it needs a repaste for the CPU. I'm hitting 98c temps with the fan on at 7K RPMs.

Call me old, but I don't understand laptops without webcams. I almost bought this but needing to carry a usb webcam for travel is a dealbreaker for me personally.

RAM max at 24GB, may be difficult to perform heavy graphics processing.
why would you be buying a 14 inch thin and light for "EXTREME GRAPHICS PROCESSING"
