Good call, doesn't even support free-sync from reading Reddit user comments. That's a bummer. Seems common with OLEDs. I'd still take an OLED.
The Asus G14 has OLED, gsync and VRR. LTT claims it's the first panel in a laptop that does

You'll never need more than 16GB when playing a game. If you want this laptop for other things besides gaming get a not soldered memory gaming laptop. This Lenovo has been great, easy to pack and travel, battery lasts 6+ hours when not gaming. Also can purchase extended warranty for cheap fom Lenovo. Recent titles at 60fps, buttery smooth at medium-high settings plus the beautiful picture of the OLED. This panel has free-sync which helps.
Would this tablet be ok to sit on lap if fans not blocked you think or does it get to hot for that? Would be unplugged so would be running at balanced or silent.

This laptop is excellent. Working on this legion, then taking a break for 30 minutes for gaming is a dream. The portability, price and performance ratio is good. Only bad thing is the 16Gb soldered ram, not upgradable.

Very nice system for the price... its either going for the 4060 8gb on a laptop or the 4080 12gb those are the two performance sweetspots and 8 fast cores is all you need for gaming in the foreseeable future (life of the laptop for sure).

Only issue is the soldered memory though. Would prefer 32 gigs at least.
yeah I'm currently stuck in loop right now, that goes-
ROG ALLY $360 used > lenovo legion GO $560 used>14" lenovo 4060> Lenovo 14" 4070> whatever 4080 laptop ~$1500 > ROG ALLY > Legion GO >......
the loop won't stop, 😵must not buy 2 things.... 😑

Stuck in the same loop. That said, if you don't need a handheld, this is an amazing value with a fantastic screen, especially if you don't require future proofing of the beefier laptops.

I bought this laptop the previous time it landed on SD, got it $755 Open Box-Fair (Almost brand new, missing the charger which was an easy fix/replacement). That would make it about 45 days in my hands. I use it for mixed-use and my subjective thoughts are:

- I am having no issues living with the 16GB RAM. I already am on most systems I use and thought it would be nice to have 32GB, but I am not missing what I've almost never had.

- I am not playing bleeding edge AAA graphics games so the RTX 4060 is doing a great job running the 1800p 16:10 screen, zero concerns on performance in regards to that and the CPU while we're at it. This laptop chews through whatever I try to do with it.

- Speaking of the screen, it is as amazing to look at as many others have said, but the glossy screen takes a bit of getting used to after using almost exclusively AG-coated screens and man is this thing BRIGHT.

- Speakers are functional and loud "enough," but highly directional and dependent on what surface the laptop is sitting on; accuracy and clarity is not on the agenda. Mix that with the fans going when doing some heaving lifting and you'll want a pair of headphones or Bluetooth.

- About the fans; they do get quite loud though more of a white noise at any setting other than the built-in quiet mode in the Legion Software. That quiet mode is almost shockingly quiet compared to other modes and does get a little toasty under load, "lap-ability" is questionable but I have not tried to place the laptop on my lap. Performance in quiet mode does not take a substantial hit like I thought it would. If you do let the fans do its thing the laptop does a pretty good job managing heat and it's not too hot to the touch.

- The top row LEDs for the keyboard bleeds onto the bottom of the bezel, and depending on the tilt of the display it can be rather pronounced. It is not particularly a big deal in a lit environment, but in a dark environment it may make you consider turning the backlight off if you're watching something.

- The 14.5", 16:10 form factor display and the protruding back makes finding a reasonable carrying bag or laptop sleeve difficult... Snug enough to not be shifting around but not so tight to have to shove in and defeat the purpose of padding is the goal, and many bags I attempted were either much too wide or juuuuuust too short. Not that big of a deal if you plan on using a backpack or a heavily compartmentalized briefcase, but moreso with a minimalist case/bag.

Hope this helps~

Does anyone else have issues with USB C charging on this model? I picked mine up but the left PD port doesn't seem to charge the unit (tried a few cables/adapters). Wasn't sure if it might be drivers or the port having issues, but also doesn't work when the lid is shut/in sleep mode.

Need to use a 140W charger and cord for USB C charging. Any less wattage and it might not work. You need to set in windows what to do when you close the lid.

There was one available near me in American Dream Mall NJ, open box fair condition. Decided to take a chance. Not a single scratch, just some old smudges. Power cable and box intact. Previous moron owner didnt reset the PC before returning it, nothing a fresh install cant fix. $855, thanks slickdeals!

Seems like this is same monitor in the asus g14. So why no freesync? Makes no sense. Is there a way to trick it into thinking it's an asus? Freesync/gsync is so hard to live without.
