Good price, decent laptop, It's not the best laptop at the best price ever, but it's about as good as it gets at this price outside of pricing errors.
This laptop would be fine for that, and you wont regret it, depending on what you prioritize. Although I want this laptop it wont suit my needs so let me tell you what my thought process is when buying a laptop to maybe help you out.
I need to do the same things you listed just with a few other priorities, and for myself I think either a XPS, LG gram laptop or Macbook will do it all for me. I figured this out by making a priority list of what is important to me.

Here is my priority:

Battery life
Portability
Performance
Screen quality

I move around a lot with my laptop so this one will be a pain to move around with, and the battery life is okay at best.

I'm personally going to try Macbook out for the first time in my life as I really need it to be light and have a long lasting battery, and the M1 chipset seems to do well in everything that I need.
The LG gram and XPS will also do it all for me, but the battery life is much better on the Macbook and the M chipset is really powerful even in the macbook airs.

Rest assured if you're just going to be stationary then this laptop will be just fine, and this laptop is relatively small compared to other laptops with similar specs, but after having a lightweight laptop provided by my job, I can't go back to big clunky laptops with giant battery blocks for productivity reasons. For gaming I have a desktop, but a powerful gaming laptop wouldnt hurt either.

The games that I will be playing in the future are lightweight and do not require typical triple A game hardware, so these will easily run:

League of legends
Diablo 4

The macbook should be able to run both of these and that's more than enough for me.

Hope this might have helped you, and if you do get this laptop then it will be wonderful!

Also when I spend around $1000 I will go to my local bestbuy and check these laptops out in person. This laptop listed here is really nice, and has a good enough build quality. I'd advise you to do the same.

FYI, Asus released an update that enables USB4 on this laptop. You'll be able to use thunderbolt docks and egpus

From what I can tell the Asus strix is around $1800. Could you link the specific laptop you're looking at?

Thoughts on this PC for remote work? Realistically a lot of email, but some heavy photoshop, illustrator, and video work at times.
I've been using a 2020 G14 to do this and more for a few years. Works great.

Only thing it lacks is a built in camera for convenience but easily solved.

Soldered Ram in this 2022 version of the G14? I couldn't find confirmation. The 2021 was soldered from a google search.

One of the stick is upgradeable, other is soldered. So you can replace one of 8gb to 16gb and have 24gb for example.

I keep reading these posts because my son plays a ton of games on Steam and we want to get him a new computer after 6 years. They all seem to come with 1tb drives and not much room for expansion. He's over 1tb and we have an external drive sweeping up the overage.

Is this rare or do people buy these and swap out the SDD on them out regularly?

I almost feel like I should be cloning his drive with a bigger one and just keep going on what he's got.

Own a MacBook Air M1 and a loaded Macbook Pro 16 with M1 Max 32gb loaded and sorry they're pretty much bad for gaming. No real native games other than WoW or the half released Baldur's gate. Also people like to tout that it can get decent FPS, but put the macbook against a gaming laptop like this and you'll realize that max settings on mac games have the same graphics fidelity as low-medium on PC. I've given up on gaming on my apple silicon machines and basically just use them for work. I'm saying this as I bought this laptop to use when gaming when travelling as a companion to my Macbooks. It can play my latest games like MW2, GoW, FFXIV with mostly maxed out settings except RT. The screen quality on this laptop is also great except it does have light bleed and can't really compete against miniled on the macbook pro, but for PC gaming laptop it has one of the best.

I just bought it a couple of weeks back for $1200. I haven't done a lot of gaming on it, but it's not very quiet unless you're just casual browsing or watching videos etc. as soon as discrete graphics kick in, the fans start to get loud

That's pretty much every gaming laptop unless you run them in quiet reduced power mode. There's an active G14 subreddit and there's plenty of help there on lowering boost on the CPU to dedicate more power and cooling to the GPU to lower ambient noise and temps.

Thank you for that. I'm still going to use my desktop for most if not all of my games. I know the Macbook can run League of Legends and that's all I really care about, but I don't even play that much anymore. Maybe I'll also buy a gaming laptop for my travels as well, but for now I'm going to prioritize the Mac. Appreciate it.

Depends on the games you want to play.
By looking at this website:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Rad...598.0.html
You can see towards the bottom of this website that the 6800M on the Strix G15 will run a bit better at the resolutions you get with these laptops. So if you care about performance then get the G15, but this laptop is lighter and has a better build quality. It comes down to two things IMO.
Performance vs Quality
Performance: The G15 will run better hands down.
Quality: The Zephyrus will still run good, but has better build quality and better portability.
This is your call, both of these machines will be great.

EDIT: Also you should check out this laptop here:

This seems to be really good specs for the price. Not sure about build quality.
