Hi Andrew. Between Zenbook S13 OLED & Yoga Slim 7 Carbon edition, which one do you prefer?
you ll survive . ahahha
Thanks for the review!
Thank you, Andrew! Very helpful channel. Your reviews are ones of the best on TH-cam. What would be helpful these days? A tier list of the best portable (13") laptops of 2023. Thumbs up!
another great review Andrew looks amazing !
Thanks Andy!
As always the best reviews hands down
Thanks 🙏
Havent watched your videos in a while but I’ve been subscribed since 2020 or so and glad to see that your channel is still doing well!
Thanks really appreciate it
As usual, great review. This is a really nice machine. I like ultra-portable machines. Plus, the mic & camera are sharp!
Thanks Marty!
I really like the black backdrop against the keyboard this machine looks slick
Just purchased this machine and the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 90hz. I think I like the Lenovo better, no fan noise, faster, louder, smoother display(not as bright though), charges 3x faster. The zenbook is definitely a beautiful machine though!
How’s the battery on your Slim 7 Pro? Thinking of buying it and was curious
Slim 7 Pro is so much bigger though (14.5") and it's also 3.68 lb. But I agree it's definitely more bang for the money, but not an ultrabook imo
hows the fan noise when doing casual tasks like watching youtube videos? also have you tested it with without any performance/power modes from ASUS?
@@tangydestroyer battery on slim pro is great
@@nethshansiriwardena508 awful
Your voice is so good. Hear the words very clearly
Finally a good, honest and unbiased review!
This has just added to my confusion in decision making. So many good machines with complete specs from all the big manufacturers
Thank you.
Hello There. Which one do you recommend, this or Zenbook 14 OLED with 13th gen 1360P ?
12:13
MacBook pro 14 isn't thin and light. It's 1.6 kg.
As comparison, ThinkPad t14s is less than 1.4 kg
Andrew, is this laptop better than ZenBook 14x OLED (for programming) ?
Looks good
They have a convertible version of this laptop (S 13 Flip OLED). Between the weight, the display, audio quality, camera quality, ports, and not being a fingerprint magnet, it's the best all around laptop hands down. They just need to refresh it with the 13th-gen Intel or Ryzen 7000 processors
Asus (and many other laptop makers) still cannot put 1 USB-C port on each side, which means you cannot charge on both sides of the laptop. This is one important thing that the XPS 13 (Plus) do very well.
This laptop with kubuntu would be the perfect work laptop :D
Prefer this or the nano?
Sir please review the 2023 Zenbook Pro 16X
Can you review the Asus Zenbook S13 Flip please?
Will there be an amd version this year?
Confused. On the website the ASUS Zenbook S 13 talks about its touchscreen and pen capability at length. Why do you say it doesnt have it? Am i going insane?
When will Dell just give us the type A port and the hdmi.
the biggest problem with those low power intel cpus is that in everything but productivity theyre essentially 4 or in this case just dual cores.
4:30 ERROR - you said there is a full sized SD card reader. It's a USB-A port!
Oops
I'm trying not to brag as much as state I've finally accomplished a tech goal everyone kinda wants, although accidentally. How many times have you watched a Tech Reviewer on TH-cam tell you how beautiful the OLED screen is... but your PC lacks the same tech? Or a tech reviewer is saying the laptop speakers are weak... but you're listening thru a laptop with... wait for it... weak speakers? sigh
Well last year I splurged on living room OLED 4K TV. And it's connected to decent speakers. And so when Andrew showed this 2.8K OLED laptop screen -- I actually saw EXACTLY what it looks like. lol
Why is this almost double the x14 q420 model?
While it's a good machine and I would love to have it, I can't help but feel it's a step back compared to last year's model. That one has a Ryzen 7 6800U which has I think 30%+ performance (it's at the level of the 9:05 HP Dragonfly since the Ryzen 7 7736U is the same chip, just renamed), and comes at the same price. Yes, it might be a bit bigger and heavier, but it's in my opinion not enough of a difference to make up for the loss of performance. On top of that, the Ryzen chip has much better integrated graphics too!
Ryzen? No Thunderbolt 4 support. Meaning, the max transfer rate even with its latest generation USB implemented in Ryzen based laptops is twice slower than the thunderbolt 4, which has native support in intel-based machines.
@@trubadyr99 thunderbolt is indeed a big selling point for intel but many people (including myself) don't need the high speeds. But for someone with a thunderbolt dock this is indeed the better machine I suppose, even with the cpu+gpu performance loss
13:10 So many fingerprints on the keyboard of the Macbook, on the Asus (dark gray keys, not black) you can't see anything. Is it because of the color and is Asus using something for the keyboard keys that other manufacturers don't have?
The speakers for that thin is actually quite impressive, probably should've been compared to the macbook air than the pro
If`. You are Andrew then who is Marc and who is David 🤔
Nice PC for the type of users it is aimed at. Camera and mics are good. Nice keyboard. In your description of the ports on the right side you said that you liked it has a full size sd card reader. In the next sentence you said it has no sd card slot. It cannot.be both. Please clarify, if it is not an sd card slot then what us it? Overall a nicely designed machine that is excellent for air travel. Excellent review.
good review. The HP dragonfly Gen 4 is still probably better. Also 2.2 lbs, bigger battery, 3:2 aspect, good ports.
Asus messed up going with Intel on this one compared to the previous generation.
The Asus Zenbook S13 OLED (2023) is definitely not a powerhouse in terms of graphics performance but it is very thin and light which is perfect for traveling purposes. It has a clear 1080p webcam as well as clear internal mics and a gorgeous OLED display with over 400 nits of brightness. The audio quality of the built in speakers is not bad until you put it right next to the MacBook Pro and then there is no comparison. All and all, a very thin laptop very suitable for people on the go and worth your consideration! Superb review Andrew!! 👏😁
Thanks Rafael!
The ryzen 7840u variant will be better
All that money into a decie that it's OLED getting into burn in less than 3 years
Cost way too much buying new.
I can't believe you are the only reviewers who mentioned this laptop is a non-touchscreen model, which is a deal-breaker for me... Looking at those other reviewers are obviously been paid and praised how eco-friendly the laptop is was just stupid
If only this had stylus support…. would buy in a heatbeat
They just had to go back to intel CPUs, last gen's AMD S 13s were great why go back.
Intel is killing all these 2023 beautiful machines
550 nits. Not great, not terrible.
550 nits is great and I should know as I reviewed over 1000 displays
@@andrewmarcdavid meanwhile my samsung s21 does 1300 nits. my 65" TV does 1200. ~500 is common in laptops. when everyone does it what then? we just say that's good enough, no need for anyone to do better? potatocam is the standard for laptops, we should accept that too?
60hz ... in 2023 .. It doesn't matter if this sports a desktop i9 13900K as long as the panel only supports 60hz refresh rate. 😒😒
They have to leave something for next year to justify a price hike.
@@ENB90 Iris Xe Graphics 2023, what a joke XDD for $1500
You mad e a mistake and said there is an SD card slot
4:41 I said notably missing is SD card reader
AT 4:29 you say; “you get a FULL SIZE, sd card reader”, but then shortly after the USB acknowledgement, you say it doesn’t have a sd card reader. Which is it? Does it have a sd card reader yes or no? 😂
$1400 for no discrete graphics and 60hz? No thanks. Always better to buy used laptops. You get so much more for your money.
Definetely overpriced. Lets not forget the fact the charger is low quality, that cable will break in about 6 months of use.
@@hydranim7325 That's something I didn't even think about. Yeah, the price doesn't make any sense if someone is only going to web browse, watch movies, etc.
