Overall it’s a really nice laptop. High end look, feel and specs. Compact and portable. Light. All metal casing is nice. The keyboard is outstanding. I also bought the 16inch model to compare and returned it as the 14 seems to perform better for gaming. Having said that, is this worth the price? Somewhat. It’s new with the new generation chips and whatnot, but there are other laptops in 2025 with similar specs for almost 1000 dollars cheaper and a larger screen. I was debating sending this back for the 2023 G14 and upgrading the ram myself and saving 1300 for comparable specs and performance. But I opted to go with future proofing by a couple more years and sticking with this. The screen is nice. Altho the lid does not open 180 degrees so be careful not to force it back too far. I installed COD Warzone first as it’s a game that’s high-demand on resources. With settings all set to high, it played alright. Not as smoothly as on console and tv, oddly, as this has better specs. Maybe I don’t know what I’m doing because I lowered the graphics settings and it still played about the same. There wasn’t much fan noise and it was hardly noticeable so it runs quietly. It got warm installing big games but never too not. Good port selection and slot for micro SD card is a nice bonus. Battery life is not good, but that’s to be expected on a compact gaming laptop. I’ll have to get DOOM or something to really assess the graphics performance of the new 5070ti GPU and can update review come then. All in all, it’s worth the extra money if you want a metal case, premium keyboard. Decent speakers for its size. Good cooling for its size. Good display.
