AMD Ryzen 4800HS processor launching exclusively on the Asus Zephyrus G14 for $1500

[Redaktion]

The 14-inch Zephyrus G14 will be the smallest gaming laptop in its family and it'll be the first to offer AMD Ryzen 4000 HS-series options. Optional 1 mm-thick outer lid LED covers add a unique level of customization not seen on other laptops.

In this instance, "Nvidia has the better image for gaming" translates roughly into "Nvidia have a bigger marketing budget".

is there an estimative price?

Finally a smaller laptop with 100+Hz screen.
I've been eyeing the newest Razer Stealth for some time and the screen was the only reason for delay. Unfortunately I bought the T480 w/ mx150 (vs 2018 Stealth, due to me being a Lenovo fanboy) and it's cooling is terrible....In Ubuntu I can downclock it to at most 1400 core/4000 Mem, but driver shows slowdown temp of 95 whereas thinkpad EC trips thermally at 75-76 GPU (to 800MHz CPU and 400MHz GPU). In Win it would downclock to 1100 core after 70C, but I've read reports of thermal trip after 1h.
With the G14, my only worry is how nvidia-prime setup (linux GPU switching tool) handles the AMD cpu/igp when non-gaming battery life is needed.

AMD+Nvidia setups already exist, and have existed since Ryzen 2000 laptops hit the market. ASUS was among the first. Heard and read nothing wrong with the Optimus setup or battery life in all of my research of them (and in the NBC review of the ASUS GA502 - the Ryzen 3000 + GTX1660Ti currently sold in Best Buy and other stores).
