Pro's:
Beautiful 120hz OLED
Very nice build materials/quality
Up to 140w TGP with a vga bios flash
Fantastic speakers, seriously, wow.
Small/light. Can't really get much more in such a small laptop
Con's:
Mediocre CPU
Mediocre Wi-Fi 7, only one alternative and it takes some searching to get what's needed
Atrocious single-zone keyboard backlighting, particularly bad on the white model
Just let the slash lighting die already, it's pointless.
No pcie 5, no thunderbolt

This has been a problem since a few years now. The G14 I bought a couple years ago had this issue. It's supposed to be mitigated a little bit if you uinstall Armory Crate and install G-Helper, but it's still flakey. I believe ASUS recently fixed the issue though and it's supposed to be released shortly for all models.
what was the price before tax? May just wait

1/2 of these open box units are prob my returns. I went through 4 of them with random unexplained lockups (no BSOD or event log) before I gave up on Asus with AMD. Similar behavior was observed on a Razer 16 w the AMD 370. You have to force it to power off, and getting it to power on after such a crash is also challenging. The Wi-fi is complete garbage, plan on replacing that with the 1 other chipset compatible with AMD. Still, not a bad value if you can deal with some con's and really really "need" a 14" 5070ti.

I tried and returned both of these g14 AMD processor. Can't stand with overheating and terrible battery life (2hrs or less).
