damn - should I be using affiliate links from bestbuy to get % of the sales? First time someone commented about this - IM MISSING OUT ON $$$ lolol jk - hope you enjoy it
Hey, thank you so much for the informative video! I recently picked up the same laptop and wanted to do some light gaming. I wanted to run Fortnite, but it didn't work. Epic Games Launcher works fine, but as I was loading into the game, it kept on crashing, displaying "Unsupported Graphics Card" and saying how I should make sure to meet the system requirements and latest drivers. For context, I tried another game, Valorant which works fine, and I have the latest drivers downloaded. I don't think it's the integrated graphics either because I saw in one of your Reddit posts that Dota 2 and Cyberpunk can run. If you could download Fortnite and run it to see if you encounter the same problem, that would be amazing! Thank you.
Fortnite should run - try www.amd.com/en/support/apu/amd-ryzen-processors/amd-ryzen-9-processors-radeon-graphics/amd-ryzen-9-7940hs Auto find should work - or should find the 780M AMD which may help
hey, nice video!! So , im planning to buy this same spec of AMD Radeon 780m with ryzen 9 for video editing and programming and entertainment..? Is this good enough for decent video editing .. And is the RAM upgradable?
on this device I think the ram was upgradable - but the 780m is OK (mid) when video editing, it can but depends on how much stuff you have to do it may lag - like color, 4k editing, etc
Dope video. Subscribed. I just bought this also but thinking about upgrading to the dgpu 4070 version. Best Buy just put it on sale with $300 off. But I want to start editing videos in DaVinci resolve. Do you think it’s worth it? Would it be a better difference? The g14 with the 4090 is on sale also but like $600 more plus tax. I love the small form factor coming from m1 MacBook Air. Switched to x13 because I wanna game on the go.
Thanks for the sub -- my windows reviews definitely drop off compared to apple review perhaps . something I look into. Yea Bestbuy discounted the non dGPU version - the 4070 version has QHD and more SSD. I think using RTX 4070 for resolve would definitely help with some tasks compared to AMD but the AMD would still function. If going with G14 honestly I would just get the 4060 version that is on sale most times and upgrade the ram and the SSD. I think at that form factor the 4080 and 4090 are power limited but still perform better than 4060/4070 - but I think for my use case (dota/light video editing) 4060 would work.
hey man. i hv a 3050 mobile 4gb asus rog flow x13. I dont like the laptops touchpad. And i like the design more of the 2023. the one u hv. How much worse is the 780m compared to 3050
It’s a integrated card so I think it’s about half as slow- so the 3050 will be 2x faster If just gaming you can get away with this 780m - but if you are a creator and make videos I think the 3050 has rtx cores so should help with editing? I picked it up Best Buy for 899 which I think was a reasonable price - wouldn’t pay full price for this - and at that range of market price (1299) would look into the legion 14 with the same processor but comes with 4060 so you have the option to have a dGPU
@@BlendlogicTech its 899 at best buy. I just dont know if it is worth giving up the 3050 for this model. However this model is nicer. large touchpad, better quality it seems to me. What do you think? I game more than making videos. I have the 2022 ROG flow x13. But its a headache to use. Thermal shutdown, horrible touchpad, and garbage screen. Worth upgrading at the cost of a worse GPU?
This 899 model is 1200p screen so not qhd- but thermals will be better cuz newer cpu and just integrated card. The chip isn’t bad just different stroke for different ppl If you want ultrabook at decent performance upgrading could be good.
@@Arbiter946 th-cam.com/video/0ASVV1fCcgA/w-d-xo.html What game you playing? -- Cuz depending on game maybe you can still 60fps -- only difference is if RTX 3050 has DLSS - i dont remembber if it does or not.
I have an Asus rog flow x13, r9 6800hs, rtx 3050ti, but the video card does not appear, an unknown device appears in GD but I can't activate, could you help me? The integrated graph is very bad
Thanks for the videos! Very helpful! BB currently has it on sale for $699.99! Would you recommend this laptop for someone who is noise sensitive? Under normal work flows, like word doc, browsing webs, and YouTubing, does the fan noise bother you? I don't play any triple As games, mainly Dota2 and LoL as well, but would prefer quieter laptop ( was thinking about M1 mac since it is fanless!) Thank you so very much!!
damn wtf - thats actually a crazy deal - I just bought a 999 m2 mba trying to game less lol - but for sure normal loads and those games will run fine. I'm trying to game less so.. idk going mac - the whole "not a gaming pc" trying to force the new habit of less gamign. gone a week so far nbd - So for noise - theres always silent mode which I think worked well - when gaming you may want to get off silent to get better frames but definitely still doable. M1/macs can play league - for dota I woudln't recommend cuz of what I think is mouse lag or some delay - could never not have it. BUt yea typed this response on the M2 MBA - its going $999 - has a decent price. If you do decide to buy -- and from bestbuy - you wanna use my affiliate link ? I think i'll get 5 dollars lol bestbuy.7tiv.net/ROGx13
i agree g14 too, flow best portable not for gaming or heavy stuff its loud because bad thermal its throtling frametime drop ,if only have dual fan 4 exhaust might be best choice
2024 Update - $699 at Bestbuy - WTF crazy deal... I would've kept this machine if I got it at that price! bestbuy.7tiv.net/ROGx13
Dude, that 699 was a steal. Just copped it and for the price to performance...just amazing
Just ordered this gaming ultrabook from Best Buy yesterday with 780M integrated graphics. SUBSCRIBED!

Do you recomend it for an engineering student because we do some light work for cad and solidworks
Might be nice to get a laptop with dGPU for cad and solidworks

Did you get it for $899
$899?! That's a steal. From where I'm from this variant costs $1400. Overpricing MF seller.
Bestbuy still has this on sale from tiem to time
This model (2023) should be compatible with all versions of XG Mobile eGPUs from Asus, correct?
2021 3080, 2022 6850M, and 2023 4090
Yes should be

@@BlendlogicTech yeah man. Just wondering if losing the 3050 is a good idea. I lose 3050, but get everything better in return. Man its a hard choice.

Try armoury crate and turn off dGPU and turn back on with the profile settings

If you needed a Travel Laptop - what would you choose?
g14 for study, travel, gaming, programming, engineering, everything
i agree g14 too, flow best portable not for gaming or heavy stuff its loud because bad thermal its throtling frametime drop ,if only have dual fan 4 exhaust might be best choice
I have the g14 2022 and I wouldn't say it's good for traveling. Two reasons: battery life is far from good and the power brick is massive.
