It's sad that the 4070 doesn't have an option for 32GB. Jumping to the 4080 just isn't necessary for me and it's a massive jump from $1700 to $2700. I am still in 2 minds given the cooling solution on the 4070 vs 4080. Also I rarely see any of the ASUS 4080 options going on sale. In a bit of a stalemate.
I think Intel shoots themselves in the foot with the renaming of processors like this. The Ultra processors are gaining no traction and we're seeing immediate sales on them. Casual users are still looking for generational model numbers only - creating a lot of confusion in the marketplace among casual users that aren't aware of the differences, or even that this is the newest generation.
Much superior screen, lighter and much better battery life on the g16. Slightly worse cpu performance that makes up for a vastly superior battery life. Also better build quality on the g16. I don't think it's worth $500 more, but if the price difference is like $200 or something, then g16.

Did you get any notification of the $100 certificate? Did you sign up for best buy plus?

I don't know what you mean by i9. This is about the same as last year's i9 13900h except with better battery life. If you mean HX processor, those do not exist on such a slim and lightweight laptop, and have half the battery life.

Yes i mean hx processor. You can get a laptop that is 1lb heavier and 1 inch greater in every dimension that has a hx processor. That's a lot of performance for such a small increase in bulk

Well this deal keeps getting better every day.

I don't have the membership but I'm assuming I'd have 60 days to return it if I get it and buy this instead of the paltry 15 days...60 days of better price adjustment if it happens.

1 inch increase in every dimension is MASSIVE lol - it's not that big of a difference. The best option currently available is the Legion Pro 7i in my opinion and it's about 2 lb heavier.

Pro 7i weight: 6.1 pounds
Pro 7i dimensions: 0.86" x 14.3" x 10.3"

G16 weight: 4.1 pounds
G16 dimensions: 0.59" x 13.97" x 9.72"

You either want a MacBook-like experience and don't need the extra performance or you NEED the performance. If you need it then thin and light is never going to work for you.

How is this compared to the M16?
Almost the same specs except a Core i9 vs i9 ultra.
The M16 does not have an OLED display though.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus...Id=6535501

I bought the M16 as open box for $1185.
I got the same deal on the M16, guess it depends on what you're looking for. The OLED screen isn't a big deal to me, I prefer the upgradeability of the M16.

I can't believe that they don't have a 10 key pad with how big that thing is.

I just picked up this laptop. It is really light and thin. I think I would be okay with a legion 5 or maybe even a 7. Maybe a laptop at 5.5lbs with 1 inch bigger in every dimension might be okay for me personally.

Majority of the time my laptop will be sitting on my desk

I added a Samsung 16gb to my M16. Haven't had an issue. It is an oversight from ASUS not to start at 32GB. I find while gaming it uses 16-20GB when you have Steam and Discord open.

Why would you assume that? Odd assumption. Big Grin You have 15 days for returns unless you are a member.

OK - so the G16 is not upgradeable?
Yes on the M16, you can upgrade the Ram to 64GB & NVME SSD with a second slot available & battery upgradeable to a higher Amp for longer run time. The display is very good actually - non glare which is better for visibility. Potential for burn outs on OLED.

Ngl I agree with the comments that 16GB is not enough. Out of the box just running windows and a browser it uses 8gigs of ram, so really your only left with 8gigs
