Question Asus Zephyrus g14 2022 vs 2023 models

[mmarsh1972]

Hi all

I want to replace my dinosaur with a Asus G14 Zephyrus but I am struggling with last years model vs this years model

This is a secondary pc, I’ve already got a full gaming rig as my machine machine, so this is only for the rare moments when I’m on the road. I am trying to keeps the cost down if possible. I was even thinking of getting a used 2022 just to lower the cost, I see them for about $1000. This laptop is only when I travel (Not too often).

The main issue is the GPU, the 6700s vs the brand new 4600 RTX. Do you think the performance of the 4060 is worth about $600-1000 (I’m in Europe prices are higher)

Also I have heard that the 6700s/6800s gets very hot and as a result the fans are very loud. That can be a major issue. I have not heard about this happening with the 4060. That extra money might be worth it if it performs better and fixes the heat and noise issues.

Now, as for the 6800s, unfortunately the price hasn’t come down enough to warrant the higher end model, if I were to spend that, I’d sooner just go with the 4060

what do you all think? What would you do?

I couldn’t see spending that much more for something I’d rarely use. It’s not that big of a deal to turn your settings down a little for occasional gaming. If you don’t want it getting super hot. Limit the FPS.
