While the base configurations only get a rather mediocre FHD 60 Hz 250-nits panel, the mid and top-tier versions are available with either an FHD 120 Hz or a QHD 60 Hz panel. There is a choice when it comes to screens. That’s perhaps true but at the same time just something you have to accept here. Some of you might not like those dimples and argue they might gather dirt and dust over time. However, looks like Asus is bundling the Anime Matrix displays with the higher-tier configurations by default in most regions. It still looks the same, with the same dimple pattern across half of the exterior, but non-Anime models should be more affordable, as well as slightly thinner and lighter (by 50 grams or so). It’s a cool extra, I’ll give it that, but if given the choice, I’d prefer the standard lid. This aside, we should also touch on that secondary Anime Matrix display. It’s a pity Asus skimped on this detail, as the White version is the only one available in most regions, at least for now, and this keyboard is otherwise one of the nicest typers you can find on an ultrabook these days.
I for one would rather go with the Gray version with the black keys and white lighting. We’ll also talk about gaming on an external monitor with the lid closed.Ĭould you live with this? Sure. We’ll touch on that further down, once we get to talk about gaming. The G14 is what it is, a 14-inch performance notebook with an excellent keyboard, pretty good IO, and two alright screen options, but also a computer that runs hot with games and blows a fair bit of hot air into the screen. Of course, there’s no way to change the physical aspects at this point.
