    Mid-tier gaming: This is a solid laptop, but if you're willing to sacrifice screen size for portability, you can buy a G14.

    Razer DID do everything right in terms of hardware, the only thing that they still didn't do right is pricing, still way too expensive for what you're getting. Would be a great laptop if it was priced around $1399 rather than $1799

    No one shopping for the 14" Asus Zephrus G14 wouldn't take a brand new, glorious Dell XPS 15. Similar hardware, much better build with all aluminum chassis n' no sacrificing screen realstate with it's 16x10 ratio. No AMD cpu though.. so, that's a win for the Asus, for sure. Maybe in 2021 Dell features models with either team red or blue chips? We can hope...

      I'm honestly so confused about this take on things. If nobody would rather have a G14 over a XPS 15, then why is the G14 selling so well despite the XPS 15 being the same price?
      Unless you're saying they wouldn't take one for free? I'd certainly take an XPS 15 if I was offered one for free, but I'd still spend my own money on the G14.
