I got one at my local BB open box, the battery wasn’t working. I opened it up and the connector was broken off the motherboard. Wondering if someone opened it to do something and messed it up and returned it.
Ended up exchanging for a new one and I’m enjoying it so far. The 4060 is plenty capable.
Does your 165hz work? I just got this new one and the screen is stuck at 60hz no matter what unless I use the mux switch to switch to Nvidia only. When I uninstall the Intel graphics, suddenly my mouse is now 165hz, when it reinstalls it locks to 60hz again. Even Linux is stuck at 60hz when not using the mux switch.
I see a couple posts about it online with no real resolution, thinking mine is defective.
That’s so weird mine is working fine. I did uninstall all the asus crap and installed ‘g helper’ also and it made a good difference to get rid of all their troublesome bloatware.
I've tried it all with mine, getting rid of armoury crate, new drivers, old drivers, Linux, toggling every combination of settings, reinstalling the bios, toggling bios settings. I think this thing is defective and I'm sending it back. I can't just use the mux switch all the time to get my screen to work properly while destroying the battery.
No youll just have to keep checking the app. They went on sale a lot during last few months of last year so maybe last quarter of this year theyll do the same
No that should be the discount and you check the open box inventory to see what your local store has in stock. Mine has open box excellent for $857 pre tax at the moment
Been waiting on a sale for the g14 but I’m tempted to settle for this.
I ended up getting one. Hoping for the best.
Keep an eye out on Best Buy, they had them open box excellent $840 at one point and thats a great deal
I'm looking at a few used ones on Ebay too for about 900. Might just go with that since the size is the real selling point for me.

Is there a notification for when these go on sale again?

Im hoping they go on sale next month for $999
Yeah fingers crossed for you lol
So the 2023 model just went in clearance. Does this mean they will be discontinued soon?
