Big Disappointment
on August 6, 2019
Posted by: YourMainDude
Verified Purchase:Yes
Either MSI has pervasive quality issues or I simple lost "the display panel lottery". Upon 1st firing up this laptop to set up Windows, I was shocked at the extent of back light bleed coming from 3 corners of the screen - and also along the bottom and right edges. When I went back into my local Best Buy store, the exact same display model looked perfect. I understand the potential for IPS glow - which this gaming laptop also had - but the back light bleeding was major, clear & distinct. It's really a shame considering what the configuration has going for it: Light weight, a solid feeling keyboard (in partnership with Steel Series) that has striking lighting profiles, dual channel memory and a fast WDC solid state NVME drive. I was happy to have a 1660Ti as ray tracing isn't a big enough benefit in my eyes ... yet. And the 9th Gen CPU was good to have too.
Putting the screen issues aside, the amount of bloatware on this laptop was also aggravating. The fans were noisy (pitchy) and I detected some actual ticking sounds along the way. The screen panel feels super flimsy and you can see how just touching it immediately impacts the light bleed problem - when lifting it open for example. Something is seriously wrong with how MSI sandwiches the IPS panel within the structure of the frame. It's either a workmanship issue or a simply a poor design.
Pros:
Lightweight
Fast & responsive
Conservative styling (for a gaming machine)
Steel Series keyboard
16 GB of RAM already in dual-channel mode

There is key cap light bleed as well. Personally, I'm not bothered by it but I do know that it is a peeve for many - so it's worth noting.
I ended up not rolling the screen lottery dice any further. After looking at the other competitive brands on display, I went with the Zephyrus that has the 1TB Optane drive, for a small amount more. Screen uniformity on it looks fantastic.
If screen uniformity is an important factor for you, be prepared to either play the display lottery game ... or look elsewhere. I dislike having to return computers more than once and in this case, the screen issues were so bad - I knew it was time to switch brands.
I cannot recommend this 15.6" Stealth line and would expect the 17" bigger siblings to be even worse - due to the flimsy construction.

Power Drain a Problem
on August 1, 2019
Posted by: YourMainDude
Inconsistent battery drain during (off mode or standby...who knows) observed after several weeks of ownership. If you turn off the bud with the Sony mobile app and set them down on a table for several days, one bud will report high battery level while the other will report 20% upon their next usage. Within minutes of usage, the low boy will power down following a voice prompt.
This needs fixing.

This is, by far, the best keyboard I've ever owned. It is touted as being Linear-Quiet but some may find it still a bit too loud. I'm OK with the dampened click feedback. The lighting control is truly amazing and looks great. Steel Series demonstrates consistent software support without all the glitchy nonsense and bests even the biggest name competitors.
Having been a Tactile kind of guy for many years, this keyboard has convinced me that Linear is better. Super fast and precise. Worth every penny.

This smaller form factor means gamers have room for a larger pad and can use a bigger range of a mouse movements, ultimately giving them greater accuracy. The linear Titan Switch Mechanical delivers the industry~s best in speed and responsiveness. The switch adds to a comprehensive feature set that gamers know and love. The low-profile design is engineered for comfort and to reduce fatigue. Impressive durability and build quality thanks to its reinforcing black anodized aluminum top plate, switches rated to 100 million keystrokes, dedicated mixer-style audio controls and per-key AIMO RGB lighting.

4 out of 5Expensive but worth it.
By MiTom
Software is terrific compared the the B&W IP7 though I don't really like the ambient sound mode. It kinda loud but noise cancelation is excellent. If you work in noise environments, I suggest using ambient sound off. To be honest working in a super noisy environment, i would no recommend buying a high end headphone. Noise cancelation can be deafening when using an air gun. Sound is super but still 2nd to B&W. Would have kept the B&W for the superb sound quality but the software was terrible. Would definitely recommend this. A bit pricey but worth it. Sony went with the foam instead of rubber is a plus for comforth but one side is little bit ripped so durability on the foam was the reason for 4*.

The Shark Matrix Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum features incredible suction power, Matrix Clean and Precision Home Mapping. It has Incredible Shark suction power and a self-cleaning brushroll, pulling trapped debris, dust, and pet hair from carpets and hardwood floors. With Matrix Clean, the robot cleans using a precision grid taking multiple passes over dirt and debris, leaving no spots missed. The robot empties itself into a bagless base after each clean and holds up to 30 days of dirt and debris. No additional purchase necessary for dirt/dust bags. Now with extended runtime technology, the robot cleans 2x faster (*vs. Shark AI Ultra RV2500, due to more initial runtime in recharge/resume mode). With Precision Home Mapping, the robot uses its 360 LIDAR vision to scan your home and build a detailed map, enabling fully autonomous movement. This also allows your robotic vacuum to detect and avoid objects in its path day or night (*objects 4.5 inches or greater in its path). It creates a precise home map in the SharkClean app so you can select specific areas to clean on-demand, initiate Matrix Clean, and set cleaning schedules from anywhere. Together, Shark cleaning power with Matrix Clean and Precision Home Mapping give you the confidence your robot will complete the cleaning mission every time.

3 out of 5Matrix 'Spot' Clean is super handy... but
By YourMainDude
The Shark Matrix Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum RV2320S is cool device with very useful features and a handy app. There are problems with this design but I will focus on the Positive aspects first.
Setting up the Shark Matrix was quick & easy. Once unboxed, simply install the mobile app and follow the guided steps. I'm usually not a fan of how the 'app teams' of many companies approach product setup and/or design their overall app layouts but the Shark app is certainly above average and good.
Once set up, I positioned the robot & dock in a massive master bedroom. Having dogs = extra dirt, dust and dander under the bed - so I was eager to test this system out in a room that needs constant cleaning. I purposefully kept the room somewhat cluttered to see how the Shark behaved with some typical obstacles and I can confidently state that this generation of robot vacuum didn't become stuck or jammed anywhere in the room vs. what we came to expect compared to the leading brand, several years old. But before I get ahead of myself here... The RV2320S took approx. 10 to 12 minute to map the room and I was pleased to see that not only did the mobile app have a decently scaled representation of the perimeter, it also 'Matrix' mapped the king size bed in the room - which is the area needing frequent cleaning attention. The app does represent the bed center to the graphic, which is WAY off but the general shape of the room looks accurate. That's the first area the Shark team needs to dial in better.
I proceeded to have the robot vacuum just do a "Matrix Spot Clean" underneath the bed 3 times in a row and I watched from above to see if that specific perimeter was adhered to. The RV2320S tracked that entire bed 'foot print' with solid precision and without getting stuck - three manual cycles in a row.
I proceeded to let the RV2320S clean the entire room and again, with various tight spaces, obstacles like a duffle bag and a few boxes, it never struggled in a particular area and/or get stuck. So, hats off to the Shark design team for making this appliance reliable.
However, this where the experience started to deteriorate. Upon completing 3 cycles of the entire room being vacuumed, I receive both a mobile app notification and an audible alert from the unit itself saying an error occurred and that I needed to clean the dust bin. Upon checking the base station, the main dust collection cartridge was empty but the dust bin on the robot itself had a handful of hair, dust and fuzz just sitting there. Not stuck or jammed up - just present. So it appears to me that the auto emptying function of the RV2320S needs some tweaking. Opening the dust trap on the actual robot is simple enough and I was able to empty it quickly. So there you have it. Automation that still requires human intervention - new out-of-the box.
There are other issues that prevent me from assigning more stars to this product which I will outline in the Pros & Cons section, but let me summarize my overall opinion of the Shark Matrix Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum first - covering the nits as I experienced firsthand:
The setup was easy and automated. The unit docked is diminutive in foot print & height. Mapping rooms is set-and-forget and the "Matrix" Ai in this thing is truly something of value. That feature alone will serve us well in keeping the pet area under our king-sized bed clean! The app is intuitive and pleasing to the eyes but it does lack some feature controls - and I'm not sure why. There should be night mode or 'dark mode' the user can select to disable all the lighting. Not having this really prevents a customer from placing this system wherever they want. The lights are freaking bright!
The robot itself is smooth sounding but the docking station's vacuum system to empty the onboard dust bin is crushingly loud. So again, customers will have to careful where they place this. And for some unknown reason, late in the night the robot undocked - pulled away from the docking station and then redocked - without any schedule set up to do so. So be aware of rogue robot behaviors. It seems to me that the default operational behavior of this appliance should "Go Dark" at some evening hour and stay that way until the morning - based on relative Time Zone detection tied to the app.
In terms of cleaning, the robot unit itself does a great job picking up all kinds of debris. It's thorough and appears to stay longer on areas that are determined to be more dirtier. It is not prone to getting stuck and doesn't waste a lot of 'juice' wandering around - so the "precision" in the branding appears to be accurate as does the "Matrix" part (for certain areas). We own Dyson's for cleaning the majority of our home's hardwood floors by hand and value in an appliance of this type for particular room focus. The Matrix mapping of the bed is top shelf Ai ingenuity. The dock-based evacuation function seems random and for us - that's Ok - because we can empty the robot's bin directly in the waste can when needed. So, a STRONG three stars is warranted on this review.
Pros:
Accurate mapping of the actual perimeter of rooms
Matrix Ai mapping of things like beds inside the room that work well with the Matrix 'spot' cleaning on demand function
Smooth sounding robot in operation
Precise movement with no wandering and prevention from getting stuck
Transitions from hardwood to area rugs of different textures - no sweat
Generally speaking, a good overall mobile app design
It does clean well!

Cons:

Base station vacuum unit is extremely loud
The onboard lights for both the robot and base station are too bright and there appears to not be a night or assignable "dark" or night mode
Our unit went rogue on us just last night - almost like it wasn't really positively docked on it's last completion. Not sure what that was to be honest - but it was startling.

For whole house automation, I think it pays to wait and see if Shark works out the kinks on this one.

This mouse NEEDS a hard surface to work properly it will not work on glass or light wood EVEN with a RAZER mousepad (I'm not the only one with this issue, have tried multiple mousepads, and there is not a logical fix). Razer settings can fix this issue temporarily, but the tracking issue always seems to bite you in the worst of times and makes you want to yeet it. It looks cool and feels nice but it just isn't worth it. Do yourself a favor and buy a deathadder.

3 out of 5Feature rich cooling pad but NOT for some laptops
By Brett
I was really excited to come across this cooling pad - I have a gaming laptop that I use frequently on a desk and, as with many gaming laptops, it generates a large amount of heat. I usually use a cooling pad with it that has static fans which are rarely right for the scenario - either too loud for low power usage or too slow for high power. This Razer with actual fan controls promised to fix all that and optimize the fan settings for the usage situation. And it does...but a critical design issue ultimately makes it unusable for what I wanted....and might impact you too. Read on to find out more!
Unbox was quite impressive - the stand is quite sleek and well-designed with a LARGE blower style fan that can move a lot of air and really nice RGB lighting. The fan is set up with a foam strip where it contacts the laptop to help seal the linkage and improve airflow / cooling - two foam strip size options are included along with a plate without foam depending on your laptop design. Unlike my old laptop cooling pad, this one isn't entirely USB powered, requiring an external power adapter (which was surprising, but isn't terrible). It does still have a USB (type A) cable for the fan and lighting control - and turns that into a 3 port type A hub, so that's convenient for things like keyboards and mice. the piece that holds the laptop up has 3 different settings for different sized laptops.
There's a lot of plastic in the construction but it's still quite nicely built and should prove to be quite durable in use. It had no trouble holding up a heavy laptop and it kept the laptop very well balanced and supported in use.
Now, all that said, I got everything set up the way I wanted it and went to turn on my laptop (on the new pad) and nothing happened. The laptop, a year or so old Acer Predator Helios 16 with a Core i9 13900HX and a mobile RTX 4080, that had worked fine a bit earlier wouldn't turn on. I unplugged the laptop from everything and tried again...no luck. I picked the laptop up to look it over (it looked fine) and then it turned on. Ok, so maybe just a fluke. I put the laptop back on the cooling stand and the screen goes black! Pick it up...and the screen comes right back on. This happens regardless of if the cooling pad is plugged in, not plugged in, on/off, etc.
After some testing, I believe that the strong magnets in the cooling pad that hold the "foam strip" that seals to the laptop bottom are impacting the laptop in some way that turns off the display / prevents the laptop from turning on if off. I can set the laptop on the foam strip itself (on the floor or a table) just fine. And I can set the laptop HALF on the pad without issue - but as soon as I line the laptop up with the magnets (which is how the stand is designed to work), the screen blanks out. I've included pictures of this phenomenon. This same laptop works fine on other cooling pads so it's probably not the laptop - and the cooling pad works fine with another laptop I tried, so I think it's the combination of the laptop design and the cooling pad that don't like each other.
To that end, I can't fully recommend this cooling pad, sad as it is for me to say. I do love the design and the theory, but since it stops my laptop from working, I can't use it. (And I'd be VERY hesitant to put a laptop with a spinning / magnetic HDD on it too.) So IF it works for you, it's great. But buyer beware.

It is the stronger motor magnets inside that fan hub. I experienced the exact same behavior on my 2024 Lenovo Legion 7i with Core 14700 processor & RTX 4060. Screen blanks out; RGB keyboard backlighting goes dark; integrated finger print reader/power button functionality goes bonkers. The engineers who designed this cooling platform didn't provide the proper shielding in the motor assembly and the compliance testing that was required didn't catch the design flaw.

3 out of 5Compact Powerhouse/Desktop Replacement with Issues
By YourMainDude
The ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" 3K OLED 120Hz Gaming Laptop is clearly a compact, powerhouse that can be YOUR desktop replacement - when paired up with external peripherals & a gaming monitor.
Setup and Initial Impressions:
Initializing Windows 11 was as typical as it can be, from a Microsoft standpoint. I did experience a couple of incidents during portions of the unattended setup that resulted in the unit getting stuck in some kind of Modern Standby state (be it Sleep or something else...) where I was forced to do the proverbial 'hold down' the power button to force a hard reset. Having owned several different Asus/ROG models, this was a first.

Having owned several different Asus/ROG models, this was a first.
Once personalized & fully updated (software, drivers and BIOS), the unit did seem to stabilize and operated in full-Ryzen speedy form, but that was 5 days into my review period. Compared to my 4-year-old ROG Advantage Edition, this 2025 ROG Zephyrus G14 feels quick & responsive no matter what I threw at it or used it for.
The OLED display is vivid & consistent, corner-to-corner. The weight of the unit screams quality as does the smooth action of the flip-up, screen hinges. I'm not a huge fan of the flat, chicklet key caps commonly found on 14-inch laptops, but these are good, surprisingly satisfying and easy to type on. The RGB backlighting of the keys works but nothing to write home about. That's admittedly a matter of personal taste - but I've seen better.
There are no ports on the rear of this laptop but that's Ok. On something this compact, I've fine with it. The USB-4 and multiple USB 3 ports are plentiful and ALL meet their specified capabilities. I used a Sandisk Pro external SSD Pro and ATTO transfers speeds were top shelf. I would have preferred a full-sized SD card slot vs. the micro slot, but space in a 14-inch platform does naturally present constraints!
The proprietary power port is great and much better than a barrel connection. The only real big complaint I have about this particular platform, in terms of design points, is the location of the Status LEDs located on the bottom edge of the display. What was Asus engineers thinking? What good is having a power state, AC power connection and storage indicators all in a position you cannot see from the front? Oops!
The track pad is spacious, glass treated and something I really like. One of the best I've touched!
The Platinum White aesthetic has nuanced contrasts to it, which I've grown to like. This machine doesn't scream Gamer vibe and would be fine for work environments.

Gaming Experience:
Although one can game "AAA" titles on this 14-inch display and they do render very nicely I might add, the real power of the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 is the marriage between the Ryzen 9 Ai processor & the 5070 Ti GPU. This gets back to using this little beast as a desktop replacement rig. It can do it!
The memory is up to the task, and you can add a 2nd internal SSD. Not much to dislike here. Sure, some will complain about soldered Dimms but IMHO, 32 GBs of high-speed memory is more than adequate for most consumers, and I didn't find it holding me back in any noticeable way.

The stuff I'm not so happy or enthusiastic about:
I'll mention the goofy position of the status LEDs again for completeness, but more importantly - this 2025 Zephyrus G14 suffers from the same old thing that plagues all Asus laptops - - their software immaturity. ROG Live, Asus Software Manager and A-Crate all generated multiple errors in the Windows Reliability History logs + those early incidents of "looked dead" situations that forced me to force Hard Resets with the power button. I've done nothing out of the ordinary, other than initializing my Microsoft accounts and updating all the typical Windows Store apps, Asus Apps and applying all Windows Updates, like anyone would do. I've installed no additional software that could bugger-up things or cause conflicts - and yet - here we go again Asus. Error Event & Reliability History logs are KEY areas of the entire Experience and that aspect of this laptop needs a bunch of fine tuning. The logs are peppered with "stop working" incidents.

Moving on, I do wish to focus on the hard & fast specs of this machine that were important for me to test out. This includes Cinebench, ATTO speeds and WiFi connectivity. All of which were measured in Performance mode:
Cinebench -
This Zephyrus keeps a close pace with my 5950 X570 desktop and is the primary reason I can recommend this laptop as a desktop replacement candidate. 2300+ multi-core, 2000+ single core scores... consistently. No big swings or variance. Pretty rock solid in fact.

ATTO -
USB-4 speeds reached max speed transfer speeds for both reading & writing, on my Sandisk Pro external - pretty much in line with the performance I get on Thunderbolt ports; both for Mac and PC (Alienware M18). Thumbs up! USB 3 ports also achieve their specified maximums with the same external device. Nice job Asus!

WiFi 7 -
This is an area needing some immediate polish & fine tuning as I routinely experience throughput throttling for both download & upload - on the power brick. Not so good Asus! It's all over the place with this laptop, even when just 6 feet away from my Router. I could only hit the rated ISP speeds like once or twice out of 10 tests; most results came in at around 50 to 60 % of the speeds I pay for.

Cons:
Hard resetting required during setup and early use - even after updating everything
(It's worth noting that Ai didn't assist in this regard, which is kind of funny)
Software and error logs, par for the course with Asus & ROG. Not a good look!
Pretty much useless positioning of the status LEDs
Inconsistent WiFi 7 performance with some hard throttling for no good reason
The top-cover LED light strip is about as useful as the Status LEDs. Bling is whatever though...
I was surprised to find the ProArt Control Panel missing from this machine if for no other reason that the OLED Care functionality is missing from what is provided and that it came with Nvidia Studio drivers on it - making the case that this could be both a gaming rig & a content creation platform
(Asus Vivo machines come with that bit of important software)

Considering the price point and what you get in return, I can still recommend this laptop for many use cases, as long as one knows what they are getting into. The combination of this Ryzen 9 and 5070 Ti is something to behold! Come on Asus, finish the job on this one and make it shine!
I'd give it 3.5 Stars if allowed ; )

After several weeks of ownership, this laptop still suffers from some kind of condition where it requires a Power Button, Hard Reset to revive it.

By YourMainDude
The ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" 3K OLED 120Hz Gaming Laptop is clearly a compact, powerhouse that can be YOUR desktop replacement - when paired up with external peripherals & a gaming monitor.
Setup and Initial Impressions:
Initializing Windows 11 was as typical as it can be, from a Microsoft standpoint. I did experience a couple of incidents during portions of the unattended setup that resulted in the unit getting stuck in some kind of Modern Standby state (be it Sleep or something else...) where I was forced to do the proverbial 'hold down' the power button to force a hard reset. Having owned several different Asus/ROG models, this was a first.

Having owned several different Asus/ROG models, this was a first.
Once personalized & fully updated (software, drivers and BIOS), the unit did seem to stabilize and operated in full-Ryzen speedy form, but that was 5 days into my review period. Compared to my 4-year-old ROG Advantage Edition, this 2025 ROG Zephyrus G14 feels quick & responsive no matter what I threw at it or used it for.
The OLED display is vivid & consistent, corner-to-corner. The weight of the unit screams quality as does the smooth action of the flip-up, screen hinges. I'm not a huge fan of the flat, chicklet key caps commonly found on 14-inch laptops, but these are good, surprisingly satisfying and easy to type on. The RGB backlighting of the keys works but nothing to write home about. That's admittedly a matter of personal taste - but I've seen better.
There are no ports on the rear of this laptop but that's Ok. On something this compact, I've fine with it. The USB-4 and multiple USB 3 ports are plentiful and ALL meet their specified capabilities. I used a Sandisk Pro external SSD Pro and ATTO transfers speeds were top shelf. I would have preferred a full-sized SD card slot vs. the micro slot, but space in a 14-inch platform does naturally present constraints!

What was Asus engineers thinking? What good is having a power state, AC power connection and storage indicators all in a position you cannot see from the front? Oops!
The track pad is spacious, glass treated and something I really like. One of the best I've touched!

This G14 only has a single SSD slot. The Cinebench multi-core score is 23000+. I'm noticing PWM flicker coming from the panel for no apparent reason & only randomly..
If someone needed a 2nd SSD, one could remove the under-performing, MediaTek WiFi 7 module and instead, install a 2230 NVME SSD for much needed extra storage and simply use a more capable WiFi 6e or 7 USB dongle. Alternatively, the G16 does in fact have two dedicated SSD slots.. but obviously costs more.

LG - 5.1.2-Channel Hi-Res Audio Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer and Dolby Atmos Technology - Black
Go beyond surround sound to the dynamic audio of Dolby Atmos with this LG sound bar. It produces conventional 5.1-channel sound and works with Atmos 3D audio sources and high-resolution audio for a more realistic experience. This LG sound bar works with Google Assistant and Chromecast for voice-command capability of your entertainment selections.
I have the same issue as many other described over here and LG website. The sound of the voices is NOT laud enough during the surround sound action scenes. I chated with LG & they could not help. Could you please advise if someone has found a solution?
LG social media CS will reply to questions and reviews but when you call them, they want the unit returned. They explain that that they do not have an upper-level support team for sound bars like they do for say - televisions. So essentially, their social media respondents are wasting time - making it appear as though they are responsive in a positive way. I personally find that insulting.
There has been only 1 firmware update to this product and it doesn't fix the problem.

Will this card be good with a 550w power supply i am using an i7 8700k and i want this card but i only have a 550w power supply
The Nvidia site clearly states that a 550W supply is the minimum requirement. An 8700k is a very power efficient CPU, so assuming you don't have a lot of other high power consuming devices in your rig - like a huge bank of traditional power hungry hard drives and other PCI cards - and your power supply is of a good quality, I wouldn't worry.
You've met the 'typical' minimum spec defined by Nvidia. Battlefield V running in Ultra RTX mode barely pushes my 'loaded' system above 300 watts with this card.
