This latest version is equipped with the powerhouse i9-13905H processor and an RTX 4080 GPU. But what truly sets it apart is the innovative System on Module (SOM) upgrade. This SOM technology reduces chipset size by a whopping 38%, bringing the RAM closer to the CPU, and resulting in lower latency and faster performance. The 32GB of premium LPDDR5X RAM may not be upgradable, but it's optimized for speed. In this video, we'll dive into its real-world performance compared to its predecessor, helping you decide if this laptop is right for your creative needs.
The ZenBook Pro 16X's signature design remains unchanged, featuring the elevated keyboard deck for better ventilation, a versatile selection of ports, including USB Type-A and Type-C, HDMI, a headphone jack, and an SD card reader. Its OLED display is a marvel, delivering exceptional color accuracy and brightness. The addition of a customizable dial on the keyboard deck enhances productivity, especially for tasks like Photoshop and Premiere Pro. The large haptic glass trackpad offers precision and responsiveness, making it a perfect choice for creative professionals. If you're curious about its webcam and other features, we've got you covered with in-depth information in this video.
Join us as we explore the benchmark results and real-world performance of the 2023 ZenBook Pro 16X. We'll also compare it to its 2022 predecessor, showing you the impressive performance gains achieved with the latest RTX 4080 GPU.

ASUS is killing it lately. I have a Flow X16 and it's basically the laptop I've been waiting for for 20+ years.
Is it a little too bulky and heavy or nah?
How about speakers in it compare to macbooks?
Same story here with my Flow X13 :)
Ive always wanted a powerful 13 inch gaming laptop
@@vzuzukin Not at all - I think it feels better in the hand than an XPS 15 and a little lighter as well (touchscreen vs touchscreen SKU).
I like that the logo lights up as well on the back! :) 🔥🔥🔥
Curious why you neglected battery life in this review? Or did I miss it?
Hi! Guys i want to upgrade my laptop, so i want to nkow your opinion about this laptop? Asus Zenbook Pro 16 CPU Intel i7-12650H, DialPad, gráficos NVidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, 32 GB de RAM.
Model UX6601ZW-DB76. Its for autodesk programs, like civil3d.
Thanks.
How about Zenbook 14x 2023 , do you recommend to get it for graphic design ?
is it possible to have Mac scores included as well.
Huge fan of all of your videos! It would be interesting to hear your predictions on 14th gen Intel laptop chips.
can you share a peep with aida64 read write copy and latency results as well as some timings on the closely soldered ram modules since its a completely different solution and being so tightly integrated with the cpu maybe its got some insanely high speeds compared to the traditional stuff
Found this laptop at my local Microcenter and have been using it for about a week. I tried and returned last year's model as the RTX 3060 was underpowered for a 4K display. This laptop has amazing build quality, runs completely cool and silent in standard mode, and the screen is gorgeous. Battery life is noticeably better than the gamer laptops I've tried and the 6 speaker system is the best I've heard on a Windows laptop. My only gripe is that the screen door effect on white backgrounds is very noticeable at close distances. Every laptop I've tested has at least one flaw and this seems to be one of the best. The miniLED models are brighter but the colors and perfect blacks on OLED are unmatched.
that's crazy you say that, I'm literally about to go pick mine up tomorrow(open box) at the Micro Center in Tustin California 😆! Those things are sooo hard to find. How are you liking it? Is it true that the 4080 underperforms in benchmarks or is it a beast as i hope 🤔?
The System on Module v System on Chip thing is not quite what you described. The System on Module distinction refers to the fact that it's not 1 "chip" that contains the system. But rather a directly integrated "module" that depending on the processor is 1 or more chips. It's not a copyright issue. Qualcom and other manufacturers have been using the term "System on Chip" SoC for a long time
How does this compare to the Pro Art Studiobook 16 oled?
Could you do dome gaming benchmarks. Im curious how this thing handles games.
Also can you keep the same laptops compared for each tests
What mouse is that u have?
You should review the Lenovo slim/yoga pro 9i but with the rtx4070. Your graphics still show the rtx4050 so I wonder how much would go up on the ranking.
Hey guys - I just got the Zenbook 16X, I'm wondering is there any way I can change the keyboard color manually ? I lit it up by clickinf F7 and it is light blue, thanks!
I managed to buy this exact laptop over the weekend, found 1 in stock at my local Microcenter. I couldnt find it online or anywhere else so i jumped on it. Its amazing laptop, absolutely love. Its fast, its quiet, its powerful, its sleek. Just great. Its made my video editing WAY FASTER and SOO much smoother then using 2019 Apple Macbook Pro that had Windows running on it.
thank you so much for yours comments. What about the battery life?
Since you're the only person online I've seen with this thing, if you wouldn't mind doing me a favor I'd love to know how the 4080 runs in it. Would you mind grabbing the 3DMark demo from Steam and running Time Spy on the highest performance profile for the laptop?
How much did you pay?
@@superstringsbro prolly way less than what he paid for the MacBook Pro
How is the battery life bro
2022 G14 user thx to your vids. Wanted to use one of the integrated wheels, but didn't like that it doesn't have support for DaVinci Resolve. :-( Why Asus?
The unified memory architecture used by Apple is not new nor unique to Apple but they did popularise it. Apple were also not the first or only ones using System on Chip. On package memory will be more common on x86 moving forward. Lunar Lake seems to heavily lean on System on Package which means the SOC and Memory share the same substrate. In fact Intel play to have the Substrate have an inner core made of glass.
I love this laptop😊 but I'll wait for another 2 years to get Arrow Lake with Thunderbolt 5 integrated.
I was mulling buying a Macbook Pro Max, but what made me balk was the fact that the bios being on the same SOC means that when bios gets corrupted, there is no way to boot up the device, rendering it one giant paper weight. And that is adding to the fact that when the ssd dies (runs out of cycles): the laptop is dead. When memory dies, the laptop is dead. For that kind of money it is a risk I simply will not take.
@@robertkamer1820 correct however I have used a MacBook Pro with M Silicon for years and the thing is still going. O hypothetically yes in reality it's nothing to worry about.
Why is the proart 16 not included in the data?
hello can you share the geekbench, puget system after effects score for Dell XPS 15, i9, 4070 RTX, and Samsung Galaxy book 3 Ultra, i9, 4070 RTX
Asus is thoroughly stiffing us in the Netherlands. The two laptops I am actually interested in are this one and the Proart Studobook. Both are featured on their Dutch website, they just cannot be ordered. I hate that soooo much.
Is there a way to lower that damn keyboard? Looks like it would be annoying
Love the channel, the insights and opinions have been very useful. I'm interested in your thoughts on the ASUS Flow X16. Have you checked it out yet?
Would you be up for reviewing the Flow X16 on your channel? I trust your opinions and think your viewers would appreciate your take.
keep up the great work!
What about gaming benchmarks? This is a creator laptop but with a RTX 4080 and a 120hz oled it should be top tier gaming machine too.
Great looking machine for sure.
1000-1500$ budget for an all round laptop
you have not mentioned anything about the battery life
It's funny how Apple managed to patent the SOC moniker... Classic
Asus, always killing it btw
I mean, it's fantastic in nearly every way. I've come back to this video a few times trying to decide upon an upgrade path. But the soldered RAM is an absolute deal breaker for me. I'm currently running 24 GB of RAM on a significantly cheaper Aspire 5 and I blow past that constantly. 32 GB of RAM is just too much of a bottleneck.
Times have changed, people used to say you'd never need that much memory on a laptop, but with AI tools becoming the norm and files becoming exponentially larger, it's quickly becoming an issue. And with Adobe Bridge eating up a whopping 16+ GB sorting through raw files (albeit, with high quality previews to differentiate between minute changes in focus and sharpness while looking at thousands of images before asking anything of an editing software) and Photoshop eating up the rest, I have to close one or the other, limiting me to a task at a time, opening and reopening Bridge everytime I need to move between photos. This isn't going to change when I upgrade and I'm not spending upwards of $2,000 to deal with a similar issue. It can play games and edit like a pro, but I can limp through that already. I want a seamless, premium experience for well upwards of $2,000 and it's just not going to happen with this device.
Aditionally, the stylus is utterly useless with a screen that doesn't unfold to 180⁰, rendering the touch feature more of a frustrating gimick for graphic designers.
Unless you're editing videos one at a time, I cant see this being useful to any other type of visually creative professional. It wasnt built with photographers, who routinely use my current workflow, or graphic designers in mind. But it is routinely reviewed by content creators that deal in specs and video editing software, leading to mostly fantastic reviews and recommendations to all creators. This, I believe, is a pretty major oversight. I may be wrong in how this laptop handles other tasks, but we'll never know and I'm not spending a couple grand to find out.
Do the Vivobooook please 😊
That keyboard looks soooooo break-offable.
