Question Notebook with AMD Ryzen 9 and RTX 4090 - - - will it work properly ?

Hi,

Just planning to buy a new NB for gaming when traveling. Just found a good price/value ratio here https://www.gabit.hu/Asus-ROG-Zephyrus-G14-GA402XY-NC032W-Windows-11-Moonlight-White-GA402XY-NC032W

i'm a bit aware of thes AMD RTX combo notebooks. I had a cheap one with ryzen 5 and rtx 3060 (like this: https://www.gabit.hu/asus-rog-strix-g17-g713rm-ll154-laptop-173 )and i had to sell it because they won't work together. It was laggy all the day in games, after mobo change it was still the same. Asus put it's hands in the air without a solution so it was a nightmare.

Anyone has experience with these new models? i don't want to spew money (and waste my time with bs laptop fixings)

Thanks,

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Your first link doesn't work for me, comes up with a 404 error. Usually when your laptop is lagging, the solution to them is to reinstall your drivers for your discrete GPU, using DDU. Once removed you reinstall with the latest GPU drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

What sort of a budget have you allocated towards your laptop purchase? You could look into other brands like Acer, HP, Alienware, Dell, MSI and Gigabyte, to name a few.

I've had two generations of the G14. They performed fine, though the NVIDIA GPU on the last one I had died all of a sudden after about a year and a half. I'll chalk that up to just bad luck with a manufacturing defect, though I'm a little wary of getting something from ASUS.

I'm currently using a Lenovo laptop with an Intel/NVIDIA combo, so we'll see how that does. And as much as people like to meme on Dell, the last two gaming laptops I had before going with the first G14 were from them (the Inspiron G series) and they were rock solid. I just didn't go with them this time because I didn't like the design of the current Inspiron G series.
