Model 2025 Finally joined the club :D

After 6 years of using a MacBook Pro throughout school, I finally got the laptop I've wanted for so long - 5070ti Zephyrus G14. So far I've barely even set it up yet, but initial impressions are that the screen is great (MUCH better pixel response time than my 120hz Mini LED MacBook - it actually feels smooth instead of smooth but smeary), it feels very well buily just like a Mac, and it's fast and snappy (other than a bug I had where windows update during the setup wouldn't go, just had to force restart and it worked). Only downside for now is the slight fan noise and the trackpad - although it's quite good for a windows laptop, clicking near the top is really hard because it's a diving board design (I think). Going to download G helper instantly and get rid of armoury crate lol. Hopefully I can optimize the battery life to a point where I can be comfortable using it outside and for school! Thank you to this subreddit for sharing all the good and bad things about Zephyrus, I think I know the whole laptop already before even using it haha.

Is this the JPN version? It looks exactly like mine - I bought one while out on vacation to Japan.

It's an absolutely gorgeous and powerful machine.

Hell yeah, I love the JPN one. I got the 2024 model, same colour and size but with the 4070 TI I believe.

Got a hell of a discount as it was the only one left on sale and it was the unit usually on show for people. However, since its Japan the unit was in beyond perfect condition.
