Great deal on the 32gb variant of this excellent laptop at just $80 more than the 16gb version from BestBuy. The SSD is half the size, but the laptop has two m.2 slots. Since the RAM is soldered, those who are concerned with RAM capacity who love a good performing, lightweight gaming laptop with a beautiful OLED may want to jump on this.

Looks are subjective. So other than that here are some other comparisons:
This machine is also a metal build.
Unlike the g14, this has two M2 slots.
The g14 has one soldered and one open ram slot, while this has all ram soldered.
This has a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello but no IR in the camera. I believe the g14 is the opposite.
This also has USBC charging with a 140w charger. 7840 HS offers about the same performance as the 7940 HS.
This has a 76 W battery and gets about the same battery life as the g14 in most testing. Thermals are better than the Asus. There's mixed info on the availability of g-sync. Some reviews say it has it with Optimus off, others say it just doesn't have it.
The g14 has a brighter, less color accurate matte IPS display.
This has a slightly less bright glossy OLED.. which, once you use an OLED, you will never want to use an IPS again.
Lastly, you bought your g14 open box for $850. This is brand new. Let's compare new vs new. For less than $100 more than the $1050 g14 you're getting double the ram, an extra m.2 slot and a gorgeous, larger, and faster responding OLED display.

What are you talking about? This laptop runs a full-watt RTX 4060. Reviews show that its gaming performance matches all other RTX 4060 laptops.
Another option would be to run games at 1440x900 resolution which is an even 4:1 pixel ratio, (so 4 pixels evenly fit into 1 pixel at lower res) but that seems a bit low for 14" screen. I think I'd still rather run games at native resolution for best sharpness and just turn down graphics settings to compensate.

I just put my name. Do you think this impacts the extended warranty? I don't buy laptops without all the bells and whistles.
