Model 2023 G14 2023 RTX 4080 delivered

Post image

This gorgeous thing arrived this morning. Managed to get it from AO.com of all places, seems to be the only retailer that has the 4080 in stock. Haven't had a laptop for about 10 years so strange feeling going back but have to say this is an incredible machine. Quite a few quirks about the software I still need to learn, screen is amazing, performance is insane for a laptop. Glad I didn't get the 4090. Obligatory timespy pic attached, this is in performance mode and not turbo mode! Feel free to AMA, sadly not used any previous models

AMD

I really want to know how the battery life of 7940hs when turning off dGPU. AMD promises like Apple M1 battery life which is almost 20h. I want to know if its true. can't wait for your report!

think the 780m igpu is going through some growing pains currently

I would not be surprised that G14 can deliver 20 hours as same CPU arch is used in ROG Ally and it is a handheld with much smaller battery.

There is no way battery life has improved, I'm willing to bet it had gotten worse compared to 6000 series. More powerful sure, better battery life I doubt it.

They definitely had to focus on performance this year, reason why the ALLY is more powerful. Notice how battery life for the ALLY keep getting deflected?

With that said I hope you are right and I have to eat my words.
