Community Reviews

The G14 stands out as a compact OLED gaming laptop that delivers near top tier RTX 5080 performance in a small chassis, with real world gains over the 5070 Ti often landing in the 5 percent to 10 percent range. The higher end GPU can run more efficiently at the same performance target, and the shared 110 watt cooling setup means the 5080 is not inherently hotter than lower trims. The big caution is the open box purchase, since the warranty is only 90 days and repair support can be difficult. That makes the price attractive, but the risk is worth weighing carefully.

  • The open-box unit can ship in excellent condition for around $2200, which lowers the entry cost versus buying new.

  • The G14 cooling design can handle the same 110W max graphics power across 5060 through 5080 models, so heat expectations stay consistent at full throttle.

  • Higher-end G14 configurations can run cooler at the same performance target by using lower clocks and voltages in balanced or quiet modes.

  • Real-world benchmarks suggest a 5070 Ti G14 can deliver close Time Spy results to higher-cost 5080 configurations when using comparable power setups.

  • Open-box ASUS laptops reportedly carry only a 90-day warranty, which increases risk for a $2100+ purchase.

    _T3ch_

  • An open-box G14 reportedly bricked within a year, and the warranty repair claim was denied after the 90-day window, leaving the laptop unusable.

  • Best Buy open-box warranty service reportedly runs through Geek Squad, and a broken touchpad case reportedly involved a difficult warranty process.

  • Battery runtime in performance mode reportedly drops to about one hour, and longer runtime may require using integrated graphics instead of the discrete GPU.

Paying $2000 for a laptop...reminds me of Y2K.

My G14/5070ti gets 16500 timespy graphics while on 150w SlimQ adapter, while I only managed 17900 from G16/5080 with 240w brick. Very little gain for extra cost beyond 5070ti for me. FWIW 150w SlimQ actually pulled up to 182w in those runs.

I tested out a G16 with intel and a 5080 against a G14 with AMD and a 5070ti. The delta in fps in games was 5%-10%, so I returned the G16 and kept the G14.

I just got the SlimQ 150w adapter for my G14/5070ti today but can't really how much wattage it's pulling. What settings do you use (in Ghelper, I assume)?

I did not. My bank/credit card has a 90 day dispute window, which had already passed.

I took it as an expensive lesson learned and motivation to spread awareness to others so they don't end up in the same boat.
Sorry to hear that

Where do I get the details on this? Is Lenovo the same?
You take the laptop to BB if you have issue. They cover 1 years from purchase.

your 5-10% difference corresponds with mine, which is 8%
My slimQ is plugged into EcoFlow River Pro, so I see the wattage in real time.
I run timespy with 10200 CPU and 16500 GPU giving 35w and 95+20W power budgets in G-Helper, which pushes SlimQ up to 182w (max before is gives up)
