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.

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.

Quote from whowantscake :
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.

I mean getting a free capacity upgrade kind of cancels out having to buy a new power brick, I probably would have just kept it.

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.
I mis quoted in my last reply, @whowantscake - do you happen to recall the thread that mentioned the updated driveers for the bluetooth and Wifi? I tried searching and havent had any luck. Any info (maybe the laptop model the thread was about, or about how long ago it was posted, would be helpful). TIA

I picked up an open box excellent a couple days ago, was basically brand new. Ran cinebench w/ hwinfo to see if I had proper paste application (mine is consistent across cpu & GPU).

Installing extra RAM and reformatting with new SSD later today when I have time. Wanted to make sure everything was good before I started taking it apart.

Did yours have any backlight bleed? I got one that looks new but has really bad light bleed on the bottom corners.

My open box looks new enough...some dirty spots that just need wipe down.
I haven't played much with it yet but turning it on and seeing uneven keyboard LED was such a letdown. Apparently it's a way too common issue and most ppl say to just live with it.

Is it even when you lower the brightness?

I used to be very bad with symmetry and quality issues (most would call it OCD though that is actually a much more serious condition). I have come a long way but this is still one thing that I have a hard time letting go - when a backlit keyboard looks terribly ununiform.

I can imagine. It'd be pretty jarring to see dim lights with bright ones for sure

I asked in case the luminance is balanced across keys at min backlight, versus max.

A few keys are just way brighter. Even when the rainbow effect is on, the middle of the keyboard doesn't get lit up much.
I don't care about effects if just the backlight was even. The way it is now, I would just leave it off, which sucks.

my "like new - excellent" from best buy seems to be without any major issues. Pretty impressed with how light it is (vs my work PC which is a M16 dell). Thanks to the OP for starting this deal.

Just ordered an excellent open box. Fingers crossed.
I've gone with 2 past open box iterations of the g14. I've grown attached to the portability/size plus performance

Ordered a 16g so-dimm 4800mhz stick as well to install
