GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The roughly $750 increase in entry pricing over five years reflects broader trends in rising component costs and the shift toward premium displays and more powerful GPUs as standard features. It also shows ASUS experimenting with chip suppliers (AMD vs NVIDIA) and pricing tiers, including a CES-quoted price that never materialized in an actual retail configuration, suggesting some gap between marketing announcements and shipping products.
- The 2020 G14 review configuration cost $1,450; the cheapest 2025 model costs $1,800.
- ASUS switched between AMD and NVIDIA GPUs across generations, affecting starting prices.
- A $2,199 CES 2025 price point was announced but never sold, with the cheapest actual 2025 unit arriving later at $1,800.
