Best Buy is now selling the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 equipped with a Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU, a Radeon RX 6700S GPU, 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB of SSD storage for US$1,099.99. With an average rating of 4.1 out of almost 600 reviews more than half of which are 5-star, the notebook is worth a recommendation for folks looking for a capable gaming machine around the US$1,000 mark.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Stellar-ASUS-ROG-Zephyrus-G14-featuring-a-Ryzen-9-6900HS-and-Radeon-RX-6700S-records-a-solid-33-discount-at-Best-Buy.703736.0.html
For those who are used to an Apple experience i.e. your games to work out of the box or after a clean Windows 11 install: you need to spend weeks fiddling around with the drivers and settings.
Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition (AoE2 DE) drops from 120FPS down to 1FPS after 30min in 4v4 multiplayer matches - regardless of Windows/Armory Crate power mode or quality settings.
There are constant micro strutters and lags in games while Windows 11 is buttery smooth.
8GB VRAM is also no longer adequate for a supposedly high end GPU (but this is technically an RX 6600 XT falsely rebranded as 6800S)
I'd avoid the G14. It's LOUD and hot. I returned mine after a few days as it simply didn't perform well and couldn't be in the same room as others.
