![Mac vs Windows 2024 - Can I Change Your Mind? [Best Laptop]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zDG4fIvR0Gk/mqdefault.jpg)
I think the largest thing missed here is battery life in the review. The new ultra series Intel processors are supposed to be remarkably more efficient and the largest change should be battery life.
considering the 106C temperature that was shown in this video..i wouldnt call this efficient nor it has improved battery life.
Apparently can survive 14 hours of light use, and 6 hours of harsh use.
sill cant touch apple
@@shaun1900 that's not the thing here lmao. last year's 13th gen cpu wouldn't even do 3 hrs on heavy load. we want good battery life on windows too. it doesn't matter whether it will beat the mac or not. we just want a good improvement in battery life as it's the biggest problem windows laptops are having.
@@oogwaythesussyturtle like I said it still cant touch apple - Battery life being one of those areas it falls Windows falls miserably short.
Hey Chaps! What laptop do you use (and will you be upgrading soon)?
UPDATE - I'll be testing battery life fully in a future video with a final review sample. There were multiple driver updates during my testing in this video (and a pre-production model), so I didn't feel comfortable giving thoughts on battery. Although I think it'll be fairly similar to previous gen
I use an M3 MBP and forget Intel..
I use a calculator
Sure. An x86 cpu with arm cpu efficiency but also performs great at gaming. Intel meteor lake is on my shopping list for sure.
M2 MBA
If there is not a 15.6'' at least its DEAL BREAKER !!
This is such a great review!
The warm, honest, and upbeat outlook makes everything look perfect and flawless!
Hope they release the flip version of this soon. I was going to buy the existing model, but the new iGPU looks great.
I think the 2 ultra low power cores when web browsing or watching videos is huge
I'm looking forward NPU's being fully utilized by software. Image generation is super slow right now with all the processing done in the cloud. You either have to wait in a queue, use daily allotted credits, or pay for a service, which is still slow compared to what we'll be getting on device. I know AI image generating is controversial, so I feel like I should clarify, I've been using it to create a picture I have pictured in my mind, then I attempt to draw it by hand as my "own" artwork. Until I'm a good enough artist to make these pictures without AI, it's been super handy.
I really love the 60fps videos!
I needed a laptop , thanks to you're video i bought thé same brand laptop but with I9 processor .
Also thank you for making other tech video's aswell , much appreciate it and love your content.
Greetz from Belgium!
Hey man
Im looking to buy one with the i9 and it would be great to get your opinion on it
@@propenguin8948 i have Mike for 2 monthes now and im Very satisfied with it. It's Very fast and snappy and good for gaming and editing and it's light weight so so far no complaints 👌🏻
I'm a Data science Student and Honetly felt very overwhelmed since we didn't have a decent Windows device (I mean overall) and this series seems a decent leap; wished I could get my hands on this unit to try it out since lots of my friends ask me what to buy ( up until now it was MB all the time ) sadly the single core score haven't really changed and not sure if this affects battery or not ( sure if the chip uses less battery it sound like an upgrade anyways but the fact that most of the tasks are on the web nowadays having a single and optimized single core usage will be great!
Same bro still looking for a nice windows laptops with optimized battery life and performance. But there is no proper option except macbook unless you do not run ML DL models in cloud((
Found it : Asus Rog zepyhrus g14 2024
@@hmatinnn have you heared fan noise on this laptops?
@@navidabasi Yeap. It can be noisy unless you push cpu gpu too much. I know i only buy laptop for my professional career not gaming. In career sometimes ml,dl models thats it. Just wanted to have some power and portability on local machine not in the cloud
Does the neural chip help with auto masking in Adobe lightroom? I have this laptop on the way and excited to put it into use.
wow some review. I love this laptop. I want to buy this one but one thing can i use for vray rendering or lumion?
Great review, The Tech Chap. A lot of other people are having problems with software and drivers. Hopefully things will improve as this processor did not live up to expectations. I have read there is a i7 165h out there somewhere. Cheers.
No doubt about the looks and sleek design.
I'm a big fan of glossy screens, makes a huge difference in visual quality. Hopefully a growing trend
Agreed, I only look for touchscreen laptops solely because those ugly plastic edges with matte displays and non-touch are so damned ugly😭
If you use them indoors, then glossy for the win. If you use out and about then non-glossy is better.
Same
For movies gloss might add some contrast but questionable for word-processing, data work, and spreadsheets because the glare can be hard on the eyes.
@@Wisdom7I only if you don't control the ambient lighting. As I can partially close the curtains it's not an issue for me. But if you work in an open plan office I could understand your view
I need the same in 15.6/16" borderless with this awesome 120 Hz Oled touchscreen
fr they just refuse to make them for some reason
their 2023 studiobook has a 16 inch 120 hz oled touchscreen. they'll probably give the 2024 model that as well.
@@TheSonoranSniper It's a bit thick. Lile my actual 16.1" laptop is 1.6kg. I would like to have 15" for 1.4kg
@@PureshowGaming
what's the point in wanting a thin and light laptop, if it takes so much space?
@@TheSonoranSniper Space doesn't matter in a backpack, you only feel the weight
Love the privacy shutter...i'd like the microphones to do the same.
uhh the camera has a physical shutter, I'd be impressed if they were able to make a totally soundproof ones for the mics
Thank you very much for the comparison, I was waiting for it
I'm curious as to how this laptop compares with other Lenovo 14" laptops that came out this year or last year.
This laptop, ignoring the 14th gen is actually really good. I wonder how I haven't noticed this before. This will be perfect for students and it will be a MacBook Air killer!
Do you know if it allows to virtualize using Virtualbox?
@@piperin1620 No, The 155H is the only Intel processor since the 2005 Pentium 4 (662/672) series to not support virtualization.
That's definitely a thing that happened and it's definitely something Intel did.
How was the fan noise while gaming/benchmarking?
Does the Oled touch screen have the screen door effect like previous models ?
When black friday was around I was very close to getting the previous gen version of it since it dropped in price quite a bit. I did some research and saw it didn't really game very well. Now I'm not wanting to play AAA titles on a laptop (I would get a gaming laptop if that was the case) but a laptop capable of at least playing something like Honkai Star rail smoothly.
just build a PC, it's cheap and more efficient than a laptop if you can game in your home
@@vegitogogita531 I got a gaming desktop already. Just want a laptop to do my work on away from home when I'm travelling. I'm also a light gamer so if this can game as well then even better. A gaming laptop is just too heavy and bulky.
@@ragingsilver ik this is a late reply but the laptop can perform decently well on games like fortnite, valorant (its well optimised), league of legends. Fortnite i saw a video on was like 60+ fps and just remember that the zenbook 14 OLED has 120hz and optionally u can set it to 60hz which can probably boost ur performance.
This is i am waiting for, but need in 16 inch with 100whr, and enable open the laptop with one finger, chassis made with aluminum alloy
Good initial preview.
The availability of Asus laptop models is very shaky, even in the US till date. There models and naming are all over the place. Normally ZenBook's are advertised as having the number pad, and some of the models in US are missing the feature. Also, very recently Costco was selling a similar model as shown in this video but with Intel 13th Gen, advertised as to be having an OLED display, but ended up having an IPS display.
Asus has a very good line up of products, but there supply chain is still in the shammers!!!
I’d take this when performance is certified stable and in a surface pro 9.
I don’t need a space age computer but I do need better battery life!
Thanks for this first look much appreciated! Keep the great content coming 👍🏾
And that Surface 10 has a funky OLED instead of that dated (if well calibrated) IPS screen.
@@Havanu81 I’ve only had the surface pro 9 for a year and even though it’s 8GB. I quite like the screen and form factor. Not the most powerful but it’s getting the job done and faster it seems than the surface pro 6 I had with 16GB RAM as well as my surface laptop 4 with 16GB RAM.
I am trying to stay level headed but now you said the 10 may have OLED…. I have to try hard not to be tempted to upgrade. I try and keep machines for 5 years but this is the first time in a while I was silly enough to only get 8GB! Doh! Works fine though. Just bad battery.
Thanks for the comment
I have the 8 myself and I love it. But just a little less since I got an Asus 14pro with an OLED. That thing has spoiled me. Microsoft should take a page from their book I feel.@@RemofRenaissance
Any "Surface" brand product is dead to me because of Microsoft's deliberate anti-repair engineering and direct refusal to sell parts online.
What good is stability if the battery (or any part) suddenly dies right after warranty expiration and now you have to shell out an extra $1k for "authorised seller" replacement?
@@lars2894 I agree. I’ve had mainly only for work. The pro 9 is the first I ever purchased for myself and coincidentally it actually has a good repair grade as in this is one of the first considered easy to replace parts yourself. Also since the Pro 8 you can easily change the SSD. It’s like changing a SIM card.
It’s not the most powerful but I like the form factor. As mentioned it’s just that blasted battery life that is an issue as well as expensive Ram
Why no mention of battery life? Compared to M3? Thanks.
I want this thing, any info how well Linux works on it? I have MacBook Air M2 and I love this type of computer.
❤Hey! Tech Guy😂 how many GB ram & GB PCIe available to be upgraded? Thank you for your regards!👍🏻
Would you recommend this over the Zephyrus series for video editing ? How is battery life ?
For vid editing, go with a laptop with dedicated graphic card not integrated
This is a great review so much detail. I need a new laptop but cannot afford this. I have an old legion but it keeps turning it's self off, or restarting. I am in a meeting at work ( I work with terminally in children in my home) and it could just cut out. It is so embarrassing and looks like I have no IT skills. After your review this is my dream laptop. I have decided to subscibe so thank you.
Nice! Excited to grab a new Meteor Lake laptop soon. Looks like winds of change are in the air again. Seems Intel is back in the drivers seat and it’s pretty refreshing to see.
Just wait for proper reviews pls. From other early reviews and Intel's strange marketing, it's not as good as it may seem. Try to check Jarrod's Tech review where he compares battery life.
You should wait for proper reviews. Some one has pointed out that zenbook 14 retail unit has much slower ram compared to reviewers unit and still did not beat amd not in all test
You got the same tables for Intel U and H series at 3:33..I guess unintended?
Came here to say the same, it took me a while to realise both sides were identical
any info whether there is also a refresh model of the 15.6 inch version on its way?
I wanted to buy it for mainly watching videos how long do you think the battery stays alive while watching Netflix
Do you know when it will be available to buy in the UK?
early next year
Asus are smashing it at the moment with design! I love the look of their new laptops, and those OLED screens 🤤
I was hoping to see some benchmarks on battery. And a fair comparison between Macbook on Battery vs this on Battery
That's because it's just an ad.
It’s a pre production unit. I didn’t feel comfortable running battery tests on this one yet
@Thetechchap
Yes
He won't show how bad it is when it's sponsored
MacBook smashes it . Already other TH-camrs tested it
I was gonna grab the ZenBook 14x with the i5 13th gen, but now I'm thinking I might hold off for the 14th gen. Is it a smart move? 🤔💻
Does it have removable m.2 storage?
Sorry is you already said and I missed it 😅
What's the diff between the Zenbook 14 UX3402VA-KM005W and UX3402VA-KM209W?
Does the screen lift up the lower deck when angled to use?
I hope not
Hi Tom they are not available to buy in uk are they ?
I'm in the market for a new laptop, and the ZenBook series caught my eye. I was thinking it would be great if you could create a video comparing the various ZenBook variants. Surprisingly, I haven't come across such a comparison online yet. It could be a valuable resource for others like me who are considering a ZenBook purchase.
Which better you think this laptop or Lenovo yoga 9i pro?!
I wait for the HP version, is Arc enough ?
Thinking of getting this one for my wifey, with 155H/32GB/1TB, 2.8K OLED being the key here as she is into photography. Myself I got the EliteBook 835 G10 7840U/32GB/2TB Samsung 990 Pro with FHD which is sufficient for me, but business class matters more.
I want this : ) only waiting for the i7 version on the market. AND of course no touch screen!
is the ram and storage upgradeable? What about battery - is it replaceable?
Ram is soldered LP-DDR5 at 7000+ speeds because of efficiency. Battery is probably still replaceable, just like the NVME.
I bought model UX3405MA-BS71T-CB a month ago, and I hate it. I use it for basic office work and it freezes so many times, I still have three days to return it but I don't know what to buy instead, I don't even know if the problem is in the laptop or the network, knowing that I used the zenbook 7i before this and did not face such issues. I can not believe how many times I need to wait to web pages or excel sheets to work. Not to mention that it turns into fire if I am working and charging at the same time. I really don't know what to do.
I was about to get a Lenovo ThinkPad from my company as we mostly use it, but I managed to convince my boss that I needed a laptop with more oomph. Subsequently leading to my boss buying exactly the one reviewed here. :)
Waiting to see how the world is going to use the NPU.
I'm using it for brain surgery.
Any numbers on lightroom AI denoise? Currently that's the main reason I'm looking to buy a new laptop
Does the screen flicker when you dim it down? Not a gamer, a trader, and I want something easy to stare at 12hrs a day. What else would you recommend?
Should I get MacBook Air M1 2020 or asus?
Glossy screens can add more contrast for movies but hard on eyes and not as easy to see screen clearly for spreadsheets and word-processing. Touchscreens seem to add more glare. If don't need a touch screen, Dell has non-touch options with screens that are comfortable for long-term viewing and easier to read.
IT has a non touch alternative, i bought one. Screen doesn't represent a problem for me, i work all day on excel, cad and structural softwares (3D mostly) and it's been good.
Does the USB C port support a second display?
I prefer the blue one..The M2 Macbook Air has the same finger smudgy issue.
Is this available on Amazon?
Do you know anything about the ASUS ROG Flow Z13/14 series 2024?
Tom: Would you go for a Macbook or a Zenbook?
Cat: Where is my food human!
it is like comparing 4 cores cpu to 8 corescpu laptop. Of course there will be double ammount of performance.
But it’s in the same/similar chassis - the new architecture has allowed them to do more in the same space. So that IS the upgrade
@@Thetechchap100% true
Can NPU be used to discover if computer is being hacked? or be used to help a student solve math homework?
I love my Zenbook 14X OLED 2023
Me too.
Can this beast really last an 8-hour shift on a single charge?
If the camera is so bad at studio light…. Can’t even imagine how bad it is in the usual room
Will the npu help in something like fsr or dlss
Any word on the speakers on this thing? Thank you
Geekbench number looks like my laptop based on the AMD 7940HS only the Intel single core number is a bit lower. On multicore and OpenCL they look comparable.
Stay with the AMD. Intel is using chiplets that AMD has been using for years. This processor is very misrepresented. Some 13th generation models have better specs than this.
What kind of stylus can work on this device?
what is the battery time of Laptop.....????
These new integrated graphics are insane! These might make the GTX laptop GPUS obsolete
The main difference between the chip lineup 3:30 - Ultra 9 185H, Ultra 7 165H & Ultra 5 135H are equipped with vPro 'Enterprise' and have slightly higher clock speeds when compared to Ultra 7 155H & Ultra 5 125H
What does clock speed mean?
@@joshua_here5849 Speed of the processor (measured in GHz)
@@kn_465 so ultra 7 is weaker than its counterparts?
@@joshua_here5849 I'm comparing the different variants of processors in the tagged comment. You might want to read it again...
Glossy screen shouldn't be a complaint considering glossy screens offer objectively superior image quality. And the majority of laptops and monitors are matte so you can go for literally anything else if you want to pay for a nice panel and then reduce its saturation, contrast and sharpness just to make reflections blurrier (but not non existent)
3:37 I think those are the same table 😅👀
oops!
is the ram and hard drive updateable>?
Excellent review but you did not say anything about the Battery Life! can you please have a quick continuous Video Play test and advise? thank you.
I'll come back to this with a full review sample, not pre-production
2:49 is that lagging !! To processing the editor ?
what about the most important question of all, battery life? no mention of that
I was wondering why Mike from Suits looked so familiar.
3:41 you’ve used the same graphic twice for the u series processor
oops!
When are the upgrades going to the Flip
Looks like very good laptop for ppl who charge their laptops every year 😊
is it has a haptic touchpad?
“And the very first thing you will see is….the size.” Expecting him to say finger prints.
How is the Linux compatibility on this?
hello I hope anyone can answer my question is this laptop good for engineering purposes like autocad and sketchup?
is this with touch screen? In South Korea, it has non-touch screen.
Nice video
why you didn't open the back cover? I really wanted to see inside and upgradability.

@@tim3172 Thanks
will it come with an amd processor?
Might make me think about trading in an M2 Pro 14” for these bad boys.
with ugly arrows again..what fingers must to be to use that buttons with comfortable?
is there a 16:9 variant?
This would feel like it dropped from heaven if this had a 360 degree screen rotation
And what is the battery life?
:D Geekbench does not work - yet - sooo you posted a screenshot 🤣
What is the difference between ZenBook and vivobook still don't know the difference?
why are you comparing P chip with an H chip ? does both consumes same power ?
M3 GB6 Single Core: 3138
M3 GB6 Multi Core: 11'889
M3 GB6 GPU: 47704
M3 C24 CPU Multicore: 640
So anything below RTX 4070 gpu is not required now since the intel arc has almost same performance???
I wouldn't say that - a dedicated GPU still has big advantages (and downsides too)
Well, the RTX4060 in my ASUS laptop gets 3x the Geekbench number...about equivalent to my desktop's RTX2070. But this does look very competitive with the built in 780M APU of my AMD 7940HS.
Would this laptop be good for Photoshop. I have a macbook pro m2 14inch base and im over apple. I prefer windows
