The 2022 has a bios update to USB4.


Edit: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1049059/ I get that it is in beta, but yes, it does in fact have a BIOS update to support USB4.
Differences:

- 4060 trades blows with the 6800s, in some games, esp at high frame rates, the 6800s is faster, in most games, the 4060 is faster by up to 15%, normally under 10%
- DLSS 3.0 is a big deal. Frame gen makes a big difference in high res single player games at very high settings.
- the 2023 is quieter and cooler by a small amount.
-165Hz display on this vs 120 on the 22.
- this one has 512GB storage, the 22 has 1Tb.
- the CPU is up to 20% faster than 22, I would bet you couldn't tell in normal use and few games will be CPU limited here.


Honestly, to most, I don't think this is worth it unless 4k gaming or RTX are critical to you

Edit: informs raw facts, someone who woke up on the wrong side of the bed is mad and downvotes it. lol
I'm in the same boat. The 2023 model here will have better performance, probably around 10-20% for both cpu and gpu, at the expense of more power and noise. I thought the 2023 is suppose to have a higher res webcam as well, but the description says only 720p.

I'm leaning towards the $700 2022 model for now, it doesn't seem like the upgrades are worth $300 more.

Edit: as others have pointed out. This does have a 1080p webcam, but website description is wrong.

No, ASUS warranty support is terrible and you never want to have to deal with them. Get an open box model and forget the warrant exists or get a third party warranty like geek squad. Anything involving sending your laptop to ASUS for repairs will be a nightmare.

Asus does not offer extended warranty for Best Buy items. You have to get third party. Also worth noting that open box disqualifies you from extended credit card warranties since it's a used item.

720p web camera but does have Hello support.

EDIT: I was wrong. The 2023 G14 does have a 1080p IR webcam. 2022 one has 720p. Best Buy website is wrong.
Face unlock is pretty quick, and you can train it for different looks.

I have this laptop, and run it on silent mode, on battery with -40mv UV. It doesn't make noise and stays cool for regular usage. You can disable the dGPU on battery, because it's not needed.

What kind of battery life are you seeing?

Dang that's terrible. If I bought from Best Buy on eBay can I get an extended warranty through geek squad?

$843 open box excellent for me. Still gonna wait though.

Im thinking with the new chassis this year, these models will be heavily discounted in less than a year.

If I can get this model open box "good" for around 500 I cant pass it up.

Doesn't Best Buy still honor 1 year warranty through them (geek squad) even if it's open box? Or did something change?

I had to go through 3 open box excellent last month, but I finally got a keeper for $840.99. (First had a used, wrong power adapter and swapped SSD. 2nd one had a defective motherboard to fix sudden resets).

I suggest removing putting the latest AMD chipset drivers from AMD's site. I had trouble waking up from sleep until I did. A thread from a few sales ago also had a link to get newer drivers for the WiFi and Bluetooth card. They are not on Asus page for G14 downloads.

Wow lots of issues. How did it go with the BB return? I know they don't let you put in details on the problems, just wondering if there are problems with the returning.

For "office" or typing documents over 10-12hrs, web browsing (varies on type of pages visited) ~8-10hrs w/ Edge, and videos 9+ local or ~7 streaming.

Right now I'm watching a movie and windows estimates 7hr (@65%).

60hz, no backlit, silent mode, and dGPU disabled on battery.

This G14 (2023) won't dip much lower until the 2025 models are out, if there is any stock left by then. The '22 G14 with Ryzen 6800HS still goes for $700 on clearance just a few days ago.

My experience with "Fair" Open Box at Best Buy 813 was great.

Box was destroyed. Only thing inside was the laptop and the charger. Told employee I'd like to test it out and she let me use the geek squad area.

1) Tested ports: I brought my own keyboard, 65w usb-c, 3.5mm headphones.
2) went to bios to validate memory, nvme, gpu, cpu, firmware
3) booted to and setup windows, tethered to iPhone hotspot to ensure WiFi worked, paired headphones to Bluetooth too (although Reddit says Linux users should swap out the WiFi/bt card for Intel)
4) run crystalmark, cpuinfo (portable)
5) incl power supply was correct 240w (20v 12A)
6) run deadpixel test
7) test all keyboard function keys

Also… didn't understand ghelper until I brought it home… but for Asus.. ghelper is a must. Tried manually uninstalling armorycrate/myAsus but ended up doing clean win11 install and ghelper.

Already swapped ssd for my own 2tb 850x

Runs amazing! Watch YT on not running turbo mode. The fans do get noisy. Def happy with $120 more than the 2022.

Good luck!

Returns were easy. Getting the third one at the same price was the pain. I had been promised in a chat by a rep I'd get it. Reps in chat and phone could not do it. Again one promised it could be adjusted if I place the order and come back with the Case id they created. Next chat, rep could not apply an adjustment to an open box and said it had to be done in store. I complained on a Best Buy Facebook post to get a rep to contact me. They begrudgingly did it. I'm glad 3rd unit worked out since I was done playing the games

So ya, the 2 returns were no problem since I was well within the return windows. The 2nd one crashed within 20 seconds when they checked in store if it was back to the Windows setup state. Pisses me off the 2nd one was resold when it was clearly defective. I'll give the SSD in the first one a pass for being missed, but they should have noticed the power brick was scuffed up from wear all over. I would have kept it, but they wouldn't price adjust it. I just wanted the $60 power brick to be replaced since the SSD was 1 TB and not that much slower than the OEM 512 GB.

If you wait for a super best buy sale im sure it probably will go that far. Last I remember the last gen model dropped to I think $700 new from BB, with open box bringing it down to around $500-550.

Within 6 months Im guessing.

Im not in a rush to get one, so if it doesnt I just wont upgrade.
