Wow! 56db is insanely loud for a heavily throttled 5070 Ti (100W instead of full 140W). Bigger gaming notebooks provide 175W graphics at this noise level. 100W would be fine for me, but then I would want mid 40db fan noise at max.

And for the rest money that would be left, you could get an Apple Air 13 or 15.
The reason, people consider buying gaming notebooks is to have strong graphics performance in a portable form factor for bringing it to the office, a vacation rental, a hotel, a friend's house, a student apartment and so on.

Nothing wrong about it. The G14 though, is WAY too ultra super duper portable. It is much too thin for no reason than style, much too light. Therefore the cooling is so bad, that the fans get super loud despite its already throttled down graphics card. Asus should have made the chassis at least 5-6mm thicker and 500-600g "heavier". This would still be plenty portable, but not stupidly ultra super duper portable and ultra super duper loud.

What we want is not the point, it is a matter of affordability. 6500€ for a laptop is a very, very high expense for a reasonably wealthy person in Europe.
I upgraded all my machines, by luck, before the price hikes but clearly if I did not, I would not buy at these new prices. I would just stick to my hardware longer, or game only on desktop.

We want large storage at pre-AI-crisis prices without upselling ripoff.

You complain on this site about pricing while simultaneously advocating for 256 GB of ram in systems for LLM usage?

Pick a side. Can't have it both ways.

"Nobody is going to buy a steam machine. It's using old slow low end parts and will costs 1000+"

I sure as hell will consider it, if the options are between this with a 5070 for 4000 and that.

Ain't no way the price for portability, screen and battery worth 3000 extra.

In France on the Asus store, the 5070 version is listed right now for 3899€ and the 5080 for 6299€. The 5070 Ti version will certainly be well above 4000€.

This is insane Jack.

As a g14 '25 user, I am disappointed to see that they haven't addressed probably the only real drawback with this design - the screen flex cable. The thing is notorious for breaking in older generations. Basically, it is a real gamble to purchase one without  at least 2 year warranty, as the issues usually come 6-18months into ownership and the fix is stupidly expensive, as you must replace the whole screen.

Asus switched to Intel CPUs for the new ROG Zephyrus G14 and powered by the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, it is still one of the most powerful 14-inch laptops you can buy. You also get an updated 120 Hz OLED screen, which now reaches brightness levels of more than 1,000 nits.
