MixedTheir new 2025 G14 with the Ti graphics card randomly crashed once, which worries them given the price, but they otherwise like it and may exchange it if it recurs.
MixedTheir G14 had the same freezing and crashing problems as the original poster; after troubleshooting it was stable all day in Ultimate mode, unlike a G16 which did not have the issue.
MixedTheir first G14 crashed almost daily from day one and was returned, while the replacement is super stable on the OEM Asus driver with no crashes.
MixedTheir new G14 with RTX 5070 Ti froze and restarted a lot until they reverted to an earlier Nvidia driver, which fixed it.
NegativeTheir 2025 G14 with RTX 5070 Ti freezes and crashes several times a day despite updates and setup guides, though they praise its looks, screen and portability; they are considering returning it.
MixedTheir G14 froze at startup every time until they reset Windows from USB and installed a stable older Nvidia driver, after which there were no stability issues and performance was great.
MixedTheir 5070 Ti G14 performs fine at 1440p or 1080p mostly but stutters, with 1% lows sometimes dropping from 80 to 15 fps.
MixedThought their new G14 was defective with 20fps in Apex on first use, but the hard-restart fix worked and they kept it.
NegativeThe weak-performance iGPU bug has hit them about three times since getting the laptop, and it persisted even on the latest updates.
NegativeHad the same low-performance bug and exchanged the laptop at Best Buy for a new one.
MixedNew RTX 5060 G14 ran fine outside games but gave very low frame rates in games; a hard restart fixed it, and they call it a software bug.
NegativeHas hit the bug on the 2025 line where the iGPU is used instead of the dGPU; a long power-button hold resets it and new firmware may have helped.
