I'd take this over the 2024 model that should be available in 6-months. OLED would be nice to get around their persistent backlight problems, but productivity-use still burns in rapidly on the latest OLED monitor displays, and of course the 2024 model has non-upgradable RAM (16GB is the base size for 2024, and may be all that Best Buy will get you for these sales), and goes from a magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis to plain aluminum. They also needed a third fan to help the limited cooling potential in the 2024 model.
IMO, this is the machine to get in a 14-inch today. Especially with G-Helper installed to kill off Armory crate, greatly dropping the idle power usage of the machine, and providing additional "undervolting." 5GHz all-core under CPU load is possible on this G14, at 78W CPU power draw. Of course this tapers off as TDP is pulled with the GPU loaded.

While the desktop 4070 is much better than the 4060, the same is not true of the laptop equivalent.
The laptop 4060 is within 5% of the desktop equivalent part. It's only about 20% better than the 3060 but includes dlss 3 frame gen making it 50% better in some games.
The LAPTOP 4070 is only 10-20% better and you often pay 50% more for a laptop with one.
The 4060 LAPTOP is the sweet spot. A 4080 is a big step up if you need the power but at a big cost financially, and in power/heat.
Also while I'm ranting, everyone should take a second look at the 4050: historically/recently nvidia XX50 GPU was trash (2050/3050) but the 4050 is roughly equivalent to the 3060 and a much better option than something like the 3050. The 4050 is upwards of a 40% improvement over the 3050!
All the same I still think the 4060 is a much better long term
Option because it has 2GB more video memory (6 vs 8).
This thing gets a bit of a performance boost by adding a second stick of RAM too, to get quad channel memory going.
The left-side USB4 port is great (and my Thunderbolt 3 dock works correctly), and the machine works fine with 65W and 100W USB-PD chargers. I don't remember if I tried a 45W. Things that other laptops are lacking versatility on.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUSROG/...s_awesome/ - Top reddit comment pretty much sums it up. It's the best app I've seen on any laptop/brand to control all of this.
-----
Download the app from Github's download link, extract it, and run. I have mine extracted to C:\Program Files\G-Helper. It will appear in the system tray. Opening the window, there is an "Extra" button to the lower right, which you can open and click "Stop" to kill all the Asus factory services. This alone dropped my idle power draw from 11W to 4W.
Keyboard illumination settings are on the main app screen. Fan and power/"Voltage" control, you can find under the Fans + Power button. Obviously test the machine out with Prime95 or something after making adjustments, to find what your specific hardware can do.
Battery Charge Limit will let you force the battery to stop charging at a certain threshold, extending the life of the battery (just crank to 80-100% before you plan on being away from the outlet for hours at a time).
Plus all the other features the program has - it does everything useful that Armory Crate provides, but in a very lightweight system-tray application.
-----
If it wasn't for G-Helper, I'd like Lenovo's machines more. This app just allows Asus machines to excel on configurability.
What about the undercoating and ability to keep the device cool? Is that just fan curves?
If only we'd get some thicker bezels and/or lids again - more rigidity in the frame can prevent all of this. Or we can ignore it and continue to move toward OLED, and wish MicroLED would hurry up for its theoretical better image retention characteristics. A lot of IPS laptops 15 years ago, with the first LED edge-lit displays, didn't have such problems, and of course CCFL was less noticeable as a solid bar.
What about the undercoating and ability to keep the device cool? Is that just fan curves?
I've seen two machines handle "-30" stable, but the third needed -20 instead. The one with the smaller undervolt had a lower factory Voltage though - it actually performed better than the two other machines under benchmarks, even after adjusting the sliders. It had to be returned due to 3 bright areas in the backlighting, which was even noticeable at 10% screen brightness in a lit room. Some screens are just too much to deal with.
I never read the reasoning as to why they changed it up like this. I should do that one of these days.
The easy verification is to perform bandwidth synthetic tests.
There is a spectacular video that goes way more in depth about this than needed. It's a good watch even if you understand less than half of it (like me). Standby, lemme find.
Edit - I think this is the one where Buildzoid (Actual Hardware Overclocking) actually explains the dual channel on chip. Enjoy!

Edit: 4070 60% more expensive than 4060 variant open box (at $1,400 vs $871 or $529 more).

fyi, I am considering this for programming(java, python, docker, etc..), mediocre Video editing and occasional gaming. Any inputs? Thanks!!!
