      its a 1.6kg 14' coming in at 1.6cm. you are dreaming to ask for sodimm at this dimension

      • JTayzer on 23/10/2024 - 22:22

        Last year's Zephyrus G14 was 1.7kg 1.85-1.95cm with 1 upgradeable SODIMM so you can definitely do better than the above Lenovo. Also topped out with (low wattage) 4090, and this is a 3050 6GB, honestly a very mid offering for the price. Way too close to a Legion in price without matching the performance.
        https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g14-2…
        Edit: 1.65kg without the Anime Matrix LEDs.
        Also another glaring issue is the "3K" resolution paired with a 3050, not great for gaming when you can't run native res - you'd have to downscale (which works best with 4K->1080p, exactly 4x or 1/4 the total pixels) while this is a non standard res (unless you like playing your games at 1536x960 you monster).

          How much was the g14 last year? Should I wait for a better deal to come up?

            @RegentHoney: Sell your kidney lol.
            Afaik the 4060 8GB hit 3K before they all sold out, one example here: https://www.msy.com.au/product/asus-rog-zephyrus-g14-14in-wq…
            All jokes aside, it was by no means "good value". Zephyrus products are now - if you have enough money for nice things then it's "worth".
            Got myself a Korean imported 4080 12GB model and it's great with some tuning (still gaming laptop battery life however).
            If you're more into portability, the 2024 models are really nice - Macbook tier build quality/speakers with excellent keyboard (no haptic trackpad sadly). They're also super thin and light, 1.5kg at 1.59~1.63cm.
            I'd wait for next year till NVIDIA announces 5000 series, at least then all 4000 series laptops will have a small price cut (or maybe larger discounts if retailers are willing).

            • RegentHoney on 23/10/2024 - 22:41

              @JTayzer: lol I want a g14 for under $2k :(

                +1

                @RegentHoney: I paid 4K lmao, but got it through work salary packaging so it was more like 2.5K. You can get refurbs under 2K but that's always rolling the dice.
                The 4050 MIGHTTT go for under 2K when the sale hits, but then you'd be locked into soldered ram and not enough VRAM same problem as the above Lenovo.

                • RegentHoney on 23/10/2024 - 22:53

                  @JTayzer: Wow I think I’ll wait until a good deal comes up. I’ve seen some refurbished g14 with older gpus around $1500 on eBay but sus them.

  • Geekomatic on 23/10/2024 - 21:59

    Soldering the one component that can fail (after the HDD/SSD) should be ILLEGAL.

      Ram failure rates are very low. You're much more likely to have the base board itself fail. There is a reason you get lifetime warranty with ram, and not with a typical mobo.

      • RedHab on 24/10/2024 - 06:43

        Correction: Detected RAM failures are low. A bit flip in data segments is rarely detected.

        This is why high end systems use ECC RAM.

        • eug on 24/10/2024 - 09:30

          Correction: Detected RAM failures are low. A bit flip in data segments is rarely detected.

          How would you know that is the case if they're rarely detected?

          • RedHab on 24/10/2024 - 10:32

            @eug: Run memtest86 for a few hours:
            https://memtest.org/

            If you have DDR5 you already have limited on-die ECC.

            • eug on 24/10/2024 - 10:45

              @RedHab:

              Run memtest86 for a few hours:

              I've done that plenty of times in the past with DDR4 and DDR3 and have not seen errors unless the memory sticks actually are faulty as confirmed by a second test.

              I'm just wondering how one concludes only detected RAM failures are low (meaning lots of failures are not detected), if those failures are … not detected.

              (I wouldn't consider bitflips from cosmic rays or radiation a RAM failure)

                • eug on 24/10/2024 - 12:28
                  +1

                  @RedHab: I think you're conflating faults and failures. Bitflips do happen in RAM (and disk storage), it's not an unexpected property. It isn't considered a failure as we're talking about here, where e.g. a computer would constantly BSOD due to faulty RAM.

                  Just look at the number of uncorrectable and potential undetectable errors the paper found in their two test systems. They didn't go back to the manufacturer and ask them to replace their memory - it's just an expected property.

                  As to how much it affects people in real life, the vast majority of laptops and desktops out there do not use ECC memory and you don't hear half the world complaining about crashing laptops and phones even when used on an airplane that has greater exposure to cosmic radiation.

    It's a shame they try to pair a pretty good AMD iGPU with a very basic dGPU. The only real benefit is fast VRAM. I think I'd rather get a good 370 iGPU with 32GB RAM

  • beOson on 23/10/2024 - 22:29

    Why no OLED? Also, the keyboard on this series is pretty hard to press.

  • dabbberboi on 23/10/2024 - 22:41

    A lot to dislike honestly - soldered ram (no upgradeability), 3050 is pretty mediocre, no running 15%+ cashback. Not a deal

    I might have considered it if they named it Yoga fire

    • andresampras on 23/10/2024 - 23:03

      You’d consider it, then realise it’s a bad omen (hyuk) for any battery-powered tech to have ‘Fire’ in the name.

    Interested in the Legion 14” also but still no availability

  • ssn on 24/10/2024 - 00:49

    I feel these were cheaper with the Lenovo spring sale.. at least one laptop I've been eyeing is around $30-50 more expensive than the last sale.

    • dabbberboi on 24/10/2024 - 09:22

      They actually were. See the Lenovo Slim deal compared to the current price. A lot of stuff is not a deal atm cause it was worse than it was 1 month ago.

    Bought this HP Pavilion 16 1,614.05$ with a free HP 235 Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Combo which is added after chatting with online sale team

    I have used "LOVESAVINGS5" promo code .

    • Look Up on 24/10/2024 - 10:03

      MX570 4GB?

      63% sRGB screen?

      This Lenovo deal is already poor, your HP @ $1.6K is even worse
