Why? The OLED screen is the main appeal IMO.

I don't own this laptop, but it sounds like you did a good job. This laptop should be a productivity workhorse and can easily handle every task you mentioned.
Appreciate it! My thought process was to get as much as I could in one package haha.

She'll appreciate this screen for photo editing. The better color accuracy on this oled vs all the other gaming laptop sales this BF is a meaningful difference she'll benefit from every time she uses the laptop for that purpose.

I have been struggling to decide on a computer for my wife for Xmas. She needs it for mostly spreadsheets, web browsing, and photo editing. I really wanted something semi-portable with a good screen, media card port, 32gb ram, and 1tb ssd. I wound up picking this up, but deciphering computers and what the specs actually mean these days is rough. Hope I made a decent choice and didn't shoot myself in the foot lol.
This should be a good laptop. I work in IT and it has enough RAM and the hard drive should be good. Multitasking should be quick.

The main drawback is that I doubt it will have the best battery life. I have an older Legion 5 and it multi tasks beautifully but has a shorter battery life. Not sure about this one though.

Either way, I really like mine and 32 GB ram and 1 tb solid state should fit the bill.

Take a look at this one.

Better Processor (for a laptop)​, better integrated video, better dedicated video card. The reviews show pretty good battery life also. It is over 4 pounds though.

Yes gamingcto10 and holidaysurprise (caps) worked yesterday for me.
I changed ram to 32gb since its soldered. It doesn't allow doing that w ryzen 9, only w ryzen 7 so i went w 7.
Upgraded the storage to 1tb as well.

I couldn't get a good enough deal on zephyrus pro duo this Black Friday. Mbp was my backup option but all their good deals were on non silver colors and 8gb ram laptops so gave them a pass. Finally settled w this one as this is highly reviewed this year. A good screen too. Hopefully its bright enough at 400 nits, i prefer 500 min but lenovo screens are generally good looking so hoping the same trend continues.

Oled screen is precisely why I skipped over all of the other more powerful gaming laptops for a cheaper price and got this instead.
Exactly. I think going forward most screens will be some form of OLED because they just keep getting better every year. Samsung and Sony are joining in with the TVs and Dells high end gaming monitor (the best and most recommended on rtings) is QD-OLED. Only benefit I've found with other panels is that they tend to more often be brighter (case by case) or have higher refresh rates… which I tend to think is silly if you are going beyond 240hz but that's just my opinion.

I started the thread about the pervious deal. Commenting here since this deal is newer (and ~$22 cheaper):

I received mine yesterday ($1274 w/ 32GB/1TB). First impression vs 2022 Asus G14 RX 6800s (w/ 40GB/1TB):
  • The G14's screen is quite good, but the Legion's screen is nicer. It's noticeably larger and a bit sharper. Colors pop more and feel warmer. Screen seems less harsh and should cause less eye strain. No backlight bleed; perfectly uniform colors and brightness (as expected with OLED). The G14's screen is rated 100 nits higher than the Legion Slim 5, but it's not noticeably brighter.
  • Legion keyboard feels more pleasant. Keyboard backlight is much better in low ambient lighting.
  • Trackpads feel about the same.
  • The Legion is quieter and cooler when gaming (better thermals).
  • The G14's smaller footprint is noticeable when moving the laptop around (though both are light and compact).
  • The G14's power brick is laughably huge compared to the Legion's.
Specifications:

Asus G14 (2022)
  • Ryzen 9
  • RX 6800s (105W)
  • 40 GB RAM DDR5 4800Mhz (8 soldered, 32 GB DIMM)
  • 1 TB SSD
  • 14" 2560x1600 LED 120Hz
  • 3.6 pounds (5.2 w/ 240W charger)
  • 312x227x21 mm
Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 (2023)
  • Ryzen 7
  • RTX 4060 (105W)
  • 32 GB LPDDR5X-6400MHz (soldered)
  • 1 TB SSD
  • 14.5" 2880x1800 OLED 120Hz
  • 3.8 pounds (4.9 w/ 170W charger)
  • 327x249x21 mm
Notes:
  • 2023 G14 w/ RTX 4060 is about 10% faster [reddit.com] than the 2022 G14 w/ RX 6800s
  • G14 and Legion Slim 5 offer reduced performance compared to pure gaming laptops, but both offer decent gaming experiences while also being portable and reasonably efficient for normal use (browsing, videos, non-CPU-intensive productivity).
A couple detailed reviews for anyone comparing them:

I agree but at least this one (I assume) is 16/16, rather than some 8/32 BS.

💯 well summarized, correct. This screen is nearly 100% color accurate

Either way, I really like mind and 32 GB ram and 1 tb solid state should fit the bill.
Making it a 1tb ssd from 512, & expanding ram to 32 from 16 is just 50$ each as it should be. Compare this to apple and we're paying 1000$ apple tax to go from a 256gb to 2 tb device.
