      Yeah that’s why I bought it. I wanted a gaming laptop with a more professional design. I’ve had a few issues here and there with it but overall it’s been fantastic for me. It has been a bit annoying having now webcam but I knew that when I bought it, and I use ASUS software to use my phone as a webcam which is far better quality anyway.

    I really like that you showed the inside, but a more close up look for each of them and especially on how the fan can be detached would've been perfect. I had a macbook pro pre2010 models before they have the apple custom screws and they were by far the easiest laptop to maintain, the casing comes off with 6 screws and the fans are directly accessible after. Many years later, I got an rog and it was so much more difficult, had to remove cd drive screen and keyboard which 2 short ribbon connection and then somemore before you can access the fan. Perso ally I feel fan maintenance is the single component that can increase the longevity of your laptop. So I thoroughly regretted that rog even though it was cheaper, while I was able to clean it, I dont do it often enough because of the risks each time I have to do it.
    Now looking at this video I'm glad most of the rog has a single panel cover that gets u access to the fan so easily like the macbook pro. I wonder if the macbook pro fans now are still easily accessible aside from the screws.

    Asus has been making some really cool stuff lately, I have a 2021 g14 and I couldn't be happier tbh, and the 2022 version seems to have some great new upgrades too, they are making unique products which have useful features instead of gimmicks, like the g14 is insanely light for a gaming laptop and has great battery life, the display could have been brighter but I'm still very satisfied with the display overall(I have the 1440p 120hz model) the build feels great, I absolutely love the keyboard, the trackpad is great for a windows laptop(but still not as good as the macbooks) the biggest annoyance I have is that it doesn't have a webcam(the 2022 version has a webcam tho D:) , and it's not even the fact that I use my laptop's webcam very often or something, but it's about it BEING THERE, like when a rare situation occurs and you DO NEED IT, it's not there which doesn't happen a lot with me(hardly happened less than 5 times in like the past 6 months) but when that does happen it's really inconvenient and you'll be forced to use your phone instead which is a huge bummer, especially for video calls(ik that u can use your phone as a webcam and I have tried that but it seems like a hassle to set up, and then u need something to set your phone on, and have to make sure they both have a good connection etc.
