"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.
