I’m open to considering Intel for my new laptop, but I’m wondering if I should explore different stores or even other brands. If you have any recommendations, let me know! Thanks!

If pure gaming power is what you’re after, the G18 is the way to go. For those who blend productivity with a side of gaming, the G14 is more suited. All options really depend on what you prioritize more for your usage.
Choosing the right laptop really depends on your needs. If you’ll be at home most of the time, the Strix G18 serves as a solid desktop replacement with top-tier performance. For a balance of portability and power, the Strix G16 is a great choice. For those who go out often, the Zephyrus G14 works well due to its size, while still offering decent performance. If last-gen parts don’t bother you, the Zephyrus G15 provides okay portability with a bit less power. Personally, I’d go for the G14 for its balance of size and capability though many are in the G14 camp for maxed portability.
Both the G16 and G18 models are strong contenders—G18 acts like a mini desktop. Zephyrus G14 has a great Ryzen CPU and OLED screen, perfect for portable use, although its size can lead to heating. Strix G16 is a balance between size and spec if you need something in the middle. Honestly, it’s all about what you prefer: total performance means G18, lightness equals G14, and Strix G16 for a mixture of both.
The HX CPUs can be notorious for causing motherboard issues, so watch out for that. Heard it mainly affects i9 models, so if you’re looking at those, be cautious. Always a good idea to look into more HX variants if you want to stick with Intel.
