Great machine, as long as you get one with reasonable backlight bleed. Backlight bleed is largely caused by the thin bezels, and the pressure from the machine's bezel pressure; a lot of these units (not all - I've seen a good one first hand) have bright areas that are even visible in a well-lit room when displaying black, at 50% brightness - example: watching a video.

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.

Please reopen the pages, I think it was a misprint and it is now displaying 8gb memory.

ASUS' website shows GA402XV-G14.R94060, which is the item listed in this deal, as having 16GB soldered.

It's 16gb, I bought this during BF. I added a 32gb stick for a total of 48gb.

I picked up an open box for 850...everything was in plastic like a new one. Doesn't seem to have ever been used.

The Optimus switching seems a bit buggy compared to my y50 with 860m. Performance is good, only tried a handful of games. Not a fan of W11...feels very busy.

The screen should be lower resolution since it only has an RTX 4060 in it. CPU is crazy good though.

Not sure why system builders keep putting these laptops together with specs that don't make sense. If you've got a 1440p or higher screen, then just put a 1440p or higher tier GPU in there. Skimp a bit on the CPU if you have to because 7940HS is way overkill for the RTX 4060.

Having said that, price is still decent and is worth considering. Crossing the $1000 barrier though I'd be hoping for something better than an RTX 4060.

Edit: Just saw the Open Box pricing. Yes, if you can get one of these for sub $900 and aren't expecting 1600p 120 FPS in modern games without DLSS and/or Frame Generation, I'd say go for it.

yeah but is it 8gb soldered plus an 8gb stick? which is what it is saying here, which would be crappy

8GB of next generation, dual-channel, DDR5 4800Mhz system memory
16GB (8GB + 8GB) of dual-channel memory significantly increases performance, compared to single-channel, and the blazing fast 4800MHz DDR5 next generation memory standard allows this laptop to multitask with ease.

you are right, the description is confusing but according to one of the reviews on the page for the laptop, it is 16gb soldered as seen here https://i.imgur.com/zFyyEaP.png

Interesting...someone in this thread reported putting 4TD WD 850 there...thanks for info!

I upgraded mine to 32gb and 4TB SN850x. Small beast for cheap.
Did 4TB SN850x fit?

Yep works perfect. I removed the black plastic dust shield and replaced it with a graphene heatsink/sticker thingy. Temps went down by a lot

Anyone have a link to a good memory and SSD deal for this laptop to share?

Mine didn't get hot playing NFS Heat or Miles Morales (140-180fps). I undervolted the CPU and boosted the gpu's frequencies. I didn't see 90c+ during my time with it.

During "office" use the temp was 37-41c.

Eh...for non gaming use font is very clean looking due to the high pixel density. Also you can lower the in game resolution and the screen's.

Never seen someone prefer less over more. You don't have to play at 1600p.
