85W 4070 is basically a full powered one (no performance gains over 100W). This is a pretty good deal for a premium laptop.

Aren't a lot of 2024 models soldered from Asus? Seems like a cost cutting measure.

It's actually faster because it's soldered
I have this laptop
The screen and speakers have no match at the moment nothing can touch this
Battery is great if you know how to setup, it takes time, I get 10 hours light stuff, programming, YouTube. I never game on battery. The screen is just wow. 240hz OLED with gsync, the first in the market for a laptop. It's as thin as a macbpro
Got mine for 1300 open box but is was a brand new basically, probably didn't know how to get rid of Asus crap and install helper lol

15W is quite a bit, interested to read how this thing performs. I do love the form factor and this new design, so I've had an eye on this one, but not sure about the GPU and 16 GB of RAM

Good catch...I never noticed the difference in RAM speed. I mainly use my G14 for learning coding and education in general. Battery can last forever with Pycharm, brave browser and silent mode.

This is 85w + 20w boost. 100-105 watts is the real max tgp. Jarrod's tech did a lot of testing for the 4050/4060/4070 mobile units at different power levels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j...LI4&t=155s

Apparently Nvidia hardwired the voltage limit on the 4050/4060/4070. So comparing a "full" 140w 4070 to a 105w version means basically no difference.

If Asus has managed to keep the thermals (and quality) under control, and if you don't need more than 16 GB of ram, this should be a great laptop.

It's not an accident or "idiot move." A lot of companies nowadays intentionally make intentionally bad SKU's at the "sweet spot" of itemization in order to pressure you to make the bigger jump up to a SKU you don't need.

32gb of RAM and a 4070 is an obvious sweet spot, but ASUS wants to pressure you to go up to the 4080 to get the 32gb of RAM, at a big price premium. They hope that you feel bad enough about getting "just 16gb of RAM" that you jump up for the "better value/future proofing" even if you don't necessarily want or need it.

They're counting on the fact they'll make more money off the people who do make the jump than they'll lose from people looking at the whole thing and saying "this is stupid, I'll go somewhere else."

Low powered 4070 and 16gb of non upgradable ram! Otherwise solid laptop.

This thing runs hot even just being on, not lappable.
