However, what I didn't know, and wasn't highlighted in many Youtube reviews I watched, was the coil whine. It's listed in quite a few online reviews after digging into it. You will notice the coil whine when the 6700S is under load. If you are gaming, not a big deal because the fans will kick in and drown it out and you are wearing headphones anyway. But if you using this for creative editing, you could well hear it and it's a deal breaker for a lot of people.
They list things like turning on the keyboard backlights or plugging a USB device to fix it, but none of those work for me. Mine has a manufacture date of 11/2022 so it might have worked for older ones.
I am keeping mine because it's an amazing machine and has insane battery life on the go. I can deal with coil whine.
Just something to be aware of.

Huge learning curve mastering numerous details but can't be happier. Now converted everyone in the household to a Mac.
I've been very impressed by M1 chips as a longtime windows user since 98 I was still hesitant to pull the trigger on Mac. Besides Zepherys looked so good on paper. Respectable specs, upgradable NVME, RAM, WLAN, what's not to like?
Zepherys is a toaster oven with LCD screen. Even when running on iGPU with minimum wattage on CPU and GPU the thing would easily reach 70+C with basic web browsing. Hardly portable. 4 hour battery life on a good day means you have to lug around a gigantic power brick with you. And when you finally do need to use it in the field, you pull it out of the backpack it's hot as hell because it didn't go to sleep when the lid closed and drained itself. I really wanted to like it, hoping I could make it work for me. Ended up returning it for MBP M1 Pro right before return window ended.
It's been 4 months, I can't tell if the macbook even has a fan, and I don't remember last time I had to charge it. I don't think I'll ever get a Windows laptop again moving forward, especially gaming one.
If you want a quality laptop, this ain't it. If you want a decent gaming computer, this ain't it either. If you want a gaming computer, get a desktop. Zepherys will always be connected to charger pretending it's a desktop anyways.
Macbooks are great machines, I use an M1 Studio for work and adore it, but they solve a different problem IMO. If gaming is at all something you want to do, the comparison is apples and oranges.

Your experience with the g14 mirror mine exactly. I run 4 external monitors with mine and doing normal work on it I get about 55c Temps. Running stress test about 82c. Battery life on silent mode 8+ hours.

I was able to fix the minor coil whine I was hearing with this model by capping the frame rate with MSI afterburner. I just dropped it a frame below the max and it eliminated it completely. I haven't tested it in every scenario but it seemed to work while gaming and in Blender and After FX.
This can but it will require some modifications from software to make it comfortable on your hands, if you are going to use it attached to a desktop with keyboard , mouse, you can look for bigger and heavier laptops with better cooling. This is great laptop for portable use, but again - it will require custom power profiles - many videos on youtube.
