This is a little beast. The best laptop I've ever had. To give you an insight, I've returned the 2020 Razer Blade 15 advanced I bought recently, so I could get this one. Ran the benchmark in Far Cry 5 on Max and the results were very close. Definitely the gaming + productivity laptop to buy in 2020.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I waited for months for this to be back in stock and when it was I jumped into buying it. I absolutely love this laptop. Its very quick and small enough for travel. Before buying this I did a lot of research into what I would want and need in a laptop. I'm not a hardcore gamer but I needed something fast enough to keep up with my Sims (I add mods and cc) this laptop is more than enough for me and I'm very happy with everything

Not to confuse with the lower spec G14

I've seen negative reviews citing absurd price for this one, but what people don't understand is that there is a lower spec version that offers a less powerful CPU and a different GPU - Ryzen 7 vs Ryzen 9, and GTX 1660 vs RTX 2060 - it is NOT just about the AniMe Display.
This device is a BEAST... Throwing any game at it and it performs wonderfully, and also enables me to do lots of video editing, even in 4K - I plug this device at home on a dock and it replaces my high end desktop!

This is the gaming laptop to buy in 2020.

Featuring a Ryzen 9 4900HS and a GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q, you can expect excellent framrates in almost all, if not all, games at the high refresh rate of the monitor and at 1080p. This is definitely the laptop to buy and has been recommended by the likes of LinusTechTips and others in the industry!

Excellent do-it-all Laptop

Apparently most bad reviews are from people that misunderstand this is the faster 4900HS cpu model, thus more expensive.
This laptop is so fast! I have a 2018 macbook pro from work and I've run a bunch of benchmarks to compare both laptops, and this small 14' laptop crushed my mcbook in every test. I'm really happy with the performance of this thing.
My biggest issue with this model, so far, is the lack of the Home/End/PgUp/PgDown keys. I'm a software developer and I use those keys a lot to move the cursor around. Having said that, typing on this keyboard feels really good. The keys are very responsive and they are spaced just right for my fat fingers.
I've gamed a little bit on this laptop and it feels really smooth. The fans get a little noisy though, but I usually game using headsets anyways, so no problem for me. Another thing to notice is that even during gaming the laptop didn't feel hot.
I also like the screen colors. I got the 1080p 120hz model and it looks great. I wish there were a 15' version, but I couldn't find a another laptop that was as good as this one featuring a larger screen.
Overall, I totally recommend the Zephyrus G14 with Ryzen 9 4900HS and RTS 2060 Max-Q as a laptop you can use for gaming and also for productivity. The design is really nice and it's very portable. This is probably the only thin laptop you can actually use for gaming at the moment.

Inflated Price

Great computer, albeit a bit buggy currently. However the price difference between this and the American counterpart is absurd. Even with currency conversion taken into consideration. $500 more expensive for what, AnimeMatrix display? Makes no sense.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Laptop I have owned.

You ca't go wrong with the Ryzen 9 processor, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 2060. Overall this product is a beast and is great for any utility, whether it is gaming, video editing, business, etc it is capable of fulfilling all your computer needs. The style is also great it is slim and resembles a high quality ultra book.
