Best Buy has a lower spec'd Zephyrus G14 on sale for $750 as part of the "Deal of the Day". The better deal IMO is the excellent open box option for $588. It's definitely not for a hardcore gamer but the build quality, processor, RAM, and dedicated graphics in a 3.64 pound chassis is hard to beat for this price.

Keep in mind there is no webcam on this generation G14 models. The speakers are pretty decent and battery life is good with 5800HS. I highly recommend turning off the "breathing" lights in Armory Crate when the laptop sleeps. I find it annoying and many reviewers agree.

While it may have started. If you email ASUS support the receipt, they will allow you to re register for the warranty. You will get the full year, I did this last year with a very similar open box deal.

Most "excellent" open box items can be shipped. Typically it is shipped directly from a random store that has it in stock. I think they don't like to offer "satisfactory" or lower rated open box shipments since you are not able to confirm any product damage or which non-essential parts might be missing. They probably have more returns for based on expectations versus reality.

In my experience...

It's not particularly good imo as a "general use" laptop because the fans kick in too often for a pleasant experience (personally), and the screen size to weight ratio is actually quite bad.

It's not particularly good at gaming either because it has a GTX 1650 with a smaller than usual screen (bigger screens are better imo for gaming) that has slow response times.

It's a laptop for those who don't mind compromising on general usage experience for some gaming capability (and vice-versa)

This vs the Lenovo 5 pro?

I feel like the only benefits of the Lenovo is that it is new with a better screen and webcam.
The G14 has dedicated graphics for light gaming, a better processor, and upgradable RAM.
Also, the Lenovo has WiFi 5 (802.11ac) versus WiFi 6 (802.11ax) on the G14 but that is usually a cheap upgrade ($20-$30) for Lenovo models since they typically have slotted WiFi.

I know it's prob sad... But I didn't even know you could get open box items shipped to you from best buy. I thought it was only in store pickups from local stores if you were lucky enough. Lol. This changes everything.

The only thing close to this price with a better GPU seems to be the Lenovo Gaming 3 with the 3050. This has a better screen, better processor, better build quality, double the RAM, and is much lighter. For this price you have to sacrifice something and I think this hits a sweet spot for $588.

Also this is one of the only 14 inch laptop lines (razer makes the other). Which is much better for traveling vs a 15 inch

Keep in mind that Asus warranty has already started so you're not getting a full 12 months on these open-box deals. I mention that because the Costco deal on the IdeaPad 5 Pro 14 is expired, BUT your friendly neighborhood Micro Center is selling the refurbished model with 90 days warranty for $499.99. I'm looking for a good inexpensive laptop with nice screen and ample power, and this one is tempting me. 16:10 ratio is just so much better for seeing more real estate on your screen. https://www.microcenter.com/produ...ished-grey

Acer swift 14 with the 3050ti is also a good option

Cant compare because none of the other ones are under 4lbs with a small form factor. If you dont care about portability sure, but many people do.
