"many other features that outperform this g54"
It has worse bluetooth, no 5g, worse front camera, worse back camera, worse GPS, older OS, worse battery life. In fact the only advantage I can find is it charges 3w faster (18w vs 15w).
Sure the screen is slightly better, but you lose a whole inch in screen size.
