HIDevolution ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401IH, Eclipse Gray, 14" FHD, 2.9 GHz Ryzen 7 4800HS, GTX 1650, 16 GB 3200MHz RAM, 2 TB PCIe SSD, Windows 10 Pro

First and foremost, I would like to give credit to HIDevoluton. I see a lot of reviewers 1-starring because of price gouge and unnecessary service. I disagree with that and here's why. They are basically inspecting the laptop from any abnormalities or damage when they open it up, and I have seen quite a few people receive lemons from this particular laptop and make several returns(reddit). I have had one tiny issue in a month of owning this laptop, and my god this thing is amazing and do not mind paying a couple more bills to get a pristine machine.pros:*AMD Ryzen 9 is a game changer, for the price, this thing zippity doodas anything you throw at it, and really is the number one pro of this machine. Intel might be in trouble.*Geforce 2060mq runs the games I throw at it on ultra-high 80+ fps no problem. FO76, COD,RDR2*The battery life is a godsend, I am pushing 9+ hours light browsing, office work and movies at full charge, and there is an option to limit max charging to 60% or 80% to reduce damage to battery if you leave it plugged in to game most of the time(which I do), which will increase battery's life.*The 120hz FHD screen is actually quite bright and looks crisp and clear for gaming and movies. I was actually quite impressed with the quality as it rivaled my 2018 razer blade stealth's qhd screen. And the 120hz is perfect for gaming.*Keyboard feels good and responsive, no smushy keys and the right amount of travel IMO. The only issue with keyboard would be the backlight which I will get to.*Touchpad is on point, feels more precise/smooth to me then my razer blade and zephyrus gx501. I have heard some people having issues with 3 and 4 finger clicks, although I personally never use them.*Portability... doesn't get much better then this with what they have crammed into this beautiful 14' chassis.Cons-*Keyboard backlight- is the number one issue with these machines, and per AMD rep, it was intended to limit backlight for them to achieve efficient cooling. On my particular unit, a couple keys seem a bit dimmer, (T and Y) which appear to be with the majority of other machines I've seen. This could change in later models. Honestly if you are in a well-lit room, you ideally just want to turn it off because it almost makes it more difficult to see the keys with the silver keyboard. In a dark room they are good enough to do what they are intended and look fine.*Speaker pop? The only issue I have had that I thought maybe was a defect was a pop sound which seems to come from left speaker. From my research many people have this issue and It only happens when I am playing a game maybe once every 6-8 hrs. I normally play with a nice pair of headphones, so this is an non-issue for me, but could see this really get the OCD going in some people.And last but not least the cooling. I can not say this is a pro or con, for my machine runs really cool(other users say it runs hot), which might be because of the paste HIDevolution used, and the cooling pad. Some people recommend disabling boost to reduce temp even further; however, I disagree with this because the processor is meant to get a bit hot and why would you strangle the one thing that makes this machine rise above all others? Just do not game on your lap and get a nice cooling pad!Overall, very happy with g14 ROG and HIDevolution, I will be a customer again in the future...if we make it that far.

Amazing product! Everything is as listed. Ryzen 9 4900HS with RTX 2060 is an amazing combo for gaming! Has all the horsepower needed for many multithreaded or even singlethreaded tasks and the 2060 gpu does wonders for games. Best purchase of the year and a big bang for the buck!

Love this machine. It is fast, it performs amazingly, and the keyboard feels great. The ONLY issue is the initial chipset driver issue. I looked on the threads and it appears to be a common issue. Easy enough to fix by downloading the updated graphic card chipset listed in many of the forums. It scares you because the screen will just be black, but the computer is obviously running. Once the driver is updated, runs like a well oiled machine (don't put oil on/in this computer).

Ive had the Laptop for a few months now and so far have no regrets.Pros: - Fantastic screen. Nice mat screen, don't need 4K at this size so 1080 is great. I have hooked it up to external 4K monitors and it look fantastic. Just know that pushing most games at 4K is still a "Heavy" task for most single video cards.- keyboard action is really nice.- Great as a mobile workstation for any photographers due to the color gamut and the matte screen.Cons: - Due to the small form factor, the laptop does heat up quickly under heavy workloads. I have yet to have the it die/shutdown on me during heavy workloads so the fans do seem to manage the internal temps well enough. But this baby will get hot in your lap/hands. - Track-pad is a bit small, but accurate using windows drivers. - Price! Because I "pre-ordered" this laptop I ended up paying more then the base model is worth. HiDevolution actually raised the price after the BestBuy base models were sold out. For shame. I will say in there defense, their customer service was great. - Asus's customer service is a nightmare. You're better off using the reddit thread for this specific laptop. - Slight "pop" noise when reaching it's thermal throttling point. Can't tell if this is a hard drive, audio or fan. See the reddit thread.

These guys claim they will replace the thermal paste on the laptop for $150, what it should say is they will butcher your laptop for $150.At the time I did not mind paying the $150 premium as I have worked in IT all my life. $120 for 1 hour labor + $30 for the thermal compound seemed fine.While this laptop always ran pretty hot since purchase, I gave the shop benefit of the doubt as this should have been a nonissue. However, I just knew something must have been wrong since even with boost disabled, it was thermal throttling recently (100c + in light use).When I pulled about this machine I could not believe my eyes.Just take a look at this photo. It is NOT Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut as stated on the sales page, and if you look closely some of the VRMs never actually got touched. Why? Because the damn heat pipes and the entire cooler were bent.The existing thermal paste was NOT cleaned off 100% and the application job is just horrible. A thermal compound of this viscosity should not be applied in this manner and is near impossible to clean off.Since the heat pipes are damaged and have a kink in them, the cooling performance is only ever going to be so good, however, after fixing this trash application temps have dropped 40 degrees c......I would not let these guys assemble a lego kit let alone a computer. Go elsewhere!

It was well worth from HID. System runs cool. Even with FPS max setting, system runs without lag at less than 85 celsius. Tune it down to have it less than 70 celsius and it does not affect the full setting gaming performance. Running normal tasks, the battery last really long for a gaming PC!This really portable size, weight, battery for RTX is really hard to beat!

Fast delivery from US to SG, no defects, clean and fresh windows install. Good quality.
