Hey Chaps! Are you on Windows or Mac?? (and why?)
Correction: 20 -> 120 FPS is 6x faster (not 5x… stupid Tom)
I am on Windows because everything is just works as it should like overall windows os is the best for creators and productivity like the best for music production, video editing is the best on the planet thanks to Intel and Nvidia, best for 3d artists, vfx cgi and animation and gaming is like bonus/cherry on top, best for coding as well, etc etc.
Best displays, best connectivity, best user experience.
I cannot believe how fast windows systems are evolving.
Later this year meteorlake laptops on Intel 4 node with L4 cache "Adamantine" with better battery than m2 pro(leaked by trusted leakers), new media engines like and 2 times faster igpu.
13 gen is already faster even running on battery power than m2 pro and max for creative work.
Then in 2024, we will enter in angstrom era like Intel 20A node with RibbonFET transistors(GAA) and "power via" backside power delivery, all these tech in arrow and lunar lake laptops.
Exciting times a head.
you left out the price sir
Both. I've had an ASUS S15 ZenBook for several years, which my wife is using now for personal use, and it's been completely reliable. I transitioned to MOSTLY macOS a few years ago --- I still have a modest Windows desktop for some legacy apps that can't be duplicated or replaced. My portable computer these days is an M2 MacBook Air.
@@Dayum62499all have better affordable pricing than macs. Windows laptops provides a lot but costs less than macs.
Windows laptops has better value overall considering oled display, way better CPU and GPU performances and overall performance.
Thatswhy some 3d artirsts are saying that 1600 dollars is very cheap for RTX 4090 desktop card.
This is my point of view.
Yours can be different.
Windows, because I do dev, game and content creation. I wish macOS could do it all, bit it can't.
Looks amazing. I've been waiting for this laptop got a while. It's better than I expected!
This is something i've been wanting for so long. Well competent in gaming, productivity, and oled for movies/editing. Working at a cafe with such a device that's slim, lightweight, but powerful. It's a perfect AIO for me.
'eople would hate you because of the fan's noise
@@gamernippel You don’t gotta full throttle it, I’m sure it’s still competent if you lock in the wattage
OLED for editing isn't the best idea tho... especially over time because OLED wears out.
No battery though. Make sure you choose a cafe with an electrical outlet 😅
@@gamernippelMy experience with thin and light that has rtx on it that it only get loud when you do heavy game and that's it. It was 2021 acer swift x, with iirc 40W tdp rtx 3050. Video editing (1080p) and photo editing does make the fan spin faster but not loud enough that you'll notice it, especially ourdoors. But of course it would get warm after long use.
Wow, this thing looks amazing! It really checks all the boxes, and it even doesn't have the ugly plastic, protruding bezel that many other Windows machines have. And this video was so helpful, including your providing the speed of the sd card reader. I'm hard pressed to find flaws in the machine; maybe it'd be nice of one of the TB ports was on the other side, but that's really nitpicking. Speaking of nitpicking, perhaps giving a mention of performance while on battery would be helpful. A ton of Windows laptops perform so poorly on battery, but it varies from OEM to OEM exactly how much power is allowed to be used while on battery. It would be nice to know how this one does in that area. Otherwise, this was an excellent video IMO.
This is why I stuck with my M1 MacBook Pro. Windows laptops have atrocious battery life, bordering on unusable without standby power. They estimate 10 hours but it’s most likely just 2-3.
No ugly bezels on the ThinkPad P1, which is my favourite Windows laptop if you need a very powerful CPU and GPU in a slim and gorgeous chassis. Mine has a 13900H + RTX 4090 with a stunning 4K OLED screen. Just don't expect good battery life, though. Oh well, that's why Apple Silicon Macs exist...
This looks like the product I’ve been waiting for. 14” near ultra book lightness with the performance to game. Heck yeah.
all I need 18 mini led laptop fully Aluminum built laptop, wake me up when there is one
Yeah this fits what I'm searching for too.
I'm sure more others will come too though
I don’t think it will be that good in gaming…
@@Xbakulive360380 It's been shown to roughly match G14. It's excellent for gaming.
For what you're describing, the G14 is king
Nice review, I also reviewed it and found that It's going to be my next machine, its just TOO good, its the exact same depth as the ASUS X13 which is tiny. People don't realize how small it is even from watching videos.
I'm waiting to see what the 16x oled with the 4080 can do aswell before commiting. Larger screen but same thickness and a 4080 in that chasis..
@@ffvgaming3735 is there gonna be a x16 with 4080 tho?
@cbutters tech What's the price buddy
@@be_mature_ 1799 for the 4060 version, 2099 for the 4070 version (USA Pricing)
all I need 18 mini led laptop fully Aluminum built laptop, wake me up when there is one
Great video. This looks like what I’ve been wanting for years. Geared more towards a clean and professional look and gamer second. I love OLED screens. Especially for casual gaming. Looking forward to this.
That's actually good. Those thin laptops are getting more and more power with each passing year! In 5 years I'll get another one
but the capaity for cooling can't keep up
@@Matanumi It can.
Great review! Will you be reviewing the Dell XPS 9530 (i9 + RTX 4070) any time soon? I'm curious to see if your views are shared by virtually every tech reviewer on TH-cam: nice under-the-hood upgrade that needs a new hood to function properly. 😁
This thing is awesome I been waiting for the reviews for come out and I think I'm going to purchase this asap.
Impatiently waiting for the zenbook pro 16 with the 4080! I’m sceptical with that FPS you got with Flight Simulator. What did you do in that test? Even with FG, those 4090 mobile numbers
That device will certainly boost your productivity. We appreciate your reviews as always.
all I need 18 mini led laptop fully Aluminum built laptop, wake me up when there is one
well actually, for productivity in most jobs, the screen needs to be a matte one. That really helps to be in front of it for ours. So a normal IPS screen with matte cover is the best.
@@tarkgundogdu8940 Matte screen is useless. Glossy is the only way to go.
@@legendfpvHow so?
Glossy screen will reflect everything in the room and be distracting
Waiting for the one I orded yesterday! I will using it for 3D CAD design. Excited!
Thank you! Good to know speakers are good, but how would you rate when compared to XPS 15 or MBP 14?
Worse than MBP14.
I love the video, very informative and helpful in deciding which Asus laptop to purchase. I plan on picking up this spec'd model or the 4060 version.
This is it right here. Would like to see it compared to other 14 inch form factors .
thanks for the review. picked it up just now.
I have had the lenovo legion 5 pro for 2 years now , and wanting something smaller and lighter. I am glad that this came out. Order placed for this one.
Same boat here but it seems like not available in Australia yet. The price of all new RTX 4070 laptops are more than almost double than Legion 5 pro with RTX 3070. This one seems much more protable than Legion 5 pro. I found Legion still quite heavy when I take it to oversea travel.
I have very important question .. does it also have g sync free sync or any variable refresh rate range like 45hz to 120hz or is it just a fixed 120hz also if it has it, does it depends on mux switch is on or work with only discrete and optimus mode both.
What were the temps of the gpu and cpu in in intense gaming sessions in the different modes and was their any throttling? Please answer as that's the only reservation I have before deciding to buy this. Thanks.
Got to remember this is a sponsored video, essentially a paid marketing vid, look around for unbiased reviews with full stats and testing.
I feel like this is a lot of power for such a compact chasis. Would be lovely to see lower spec, with the same display.
There is ASUS ZENBOOK 14X OLED
And it's price will match the specs
@@rizdog5735 $2099. Half the price of the macbook pro it beats.
@@legendfpv where is it selling for this price? Can you tell me please? In Europe it's over 3000 euros.
Pretty cool. I just got the ROG STRIX G18, is ZENBOOK 14 any better for content creation? Like video and vfx… The screen seems to be nice on it, but it’s missing all the proart control features. Im more concerned about the performance of course…
The noise of fans though :D A good thing is probably even with non-perf mode should run silently enough for games like diablog/ cs:go / apex on minimum settings
Any chance of reviewing the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 14"? Would be a good comparison between this and the MSI Stealth 14 you reviewed recently!
After SO much research and due diligence, I think I gave finally managed to narrow down the field. And il left with either this one or the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 14". Would love to see a review of that one as well when it's avalaibale! 😍
Also a couple of Lenovos on my shortlist, but I've seen plenty of quality control complaints about Lenovo laptops. And it's not always about the chassis or some physical flaw. My cousin's Galaxy Buds didn't properly connect with his brand new Lenovo and he had to return it after wasting hours with Lenovo technicians, but his Asus had no such issue (both Windows 11 machines). So make sure you get acceptable return policy and customer service from Lenovo in your region.
I've narrowed it to both of those as well but be careful the Asus Zenbook 14 pro in Canada for example doesn't come with a touch display, which is hidden in their listings.
I was really considering the Yoga Pro 9i too, but found out that it has a low bandwidth HDMI 2.1 port with only 12Gbps rather than the 40/48Gbps standard. It feels like Lenovo is trying not to be super upfront with this. That was my only red flag on that laptop, but was an immediate no-go for me.
@@lawrencechen6067 huh. That sounds super weird, especially since everything else on the machine is super high grade. Whats the point of 2.1 if it's only 12 Gbps? What does that mean in terms of screens and resolution through the hdmi?
@@adamfriisakra7351 I have no idea why they decided to do this - I was really excited about it until I saw that spec. I think you can still do 4k but probably caps at 60hz. HDMI 2.0 can go up to 18gbps, so this is lower which is really weird to me.
Looks pretty good, but how is the thermal performance/throttling, though? That wasn't covered in the review and it's a major aspect, especially for a small, powerful laptop like this one.
That’s why I never trust sponsored reviewers.
This is the Way. Matthew Moniz did a review of the new 2023 G14 and that has a throttling problem when you press the turbo button. But then again, they stuck a 4090 in a 14 inch laptop even though its gimped. Same with the new Dell XPS 15 4070. Way too much for the thin chassis. Just Josh did a review on it and said that i7 isn't a good fit for the chassis. The older model was outperforming the new one.
Like already said, that's why you shouldn't trust sponsored videos like these.
He also never said a real word about how this thing performs on battery which is kinda important on a Laptop. Especially when comparing to the MacBook.
@@vongtito No matter what, it's better than the macbook.
Not really something I would go for but nice to see that they are upping the ante as far as performance and form factor goes
What would you go for then?
@@jamescassar5348 Nothing, they're just talking shit.
This looks pretty solid, how does it fare against the XPS15 2023?
Thanks for the amazing review... Really nice stuff...
I have a question... Is the sound quality of this laptop close to a Macbook Air 13 M2???
I'm dying to have this laptop launched in India!
This is beast laptop which checks all the boxes of my list!
Thanks for the review.
i can get one for you. Travelling in June 2023. Ping me if it suits
hi...so do you have any idea as to if or when this will be released in India...??
What I love about my MB Pro 14 is that I can rest it on my lap or a cushion with a case on and do office work, and it stays cold and silent. Every Windows prosumer's "thin and light" laptop warms up just surfing on Chrome, and that is without a case. If a computer cannot do the basics like running comfortably on your lap, it is undoubtedly no Macbook killer. As for battery life, over the weekend, I used >3 hours SOT and >48 hours standby on my MB Pro 14 and used 25% battery! I am currently testing the Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 i5 (16-inch), and 7.5 hours is my best, running continuously! As you are aware, the 16-inch MB Pro has even better battery life than my 14-inch!
These two advantages make the MB Pro an easy choice for me. I do not play games, nor am I a prosumer; I buy the higher model for the better specs.
Huawei 16s always cool always silent
14" with high-end GPU is rare, something that Dell has over with Precision 5470 but this is much better especially the 120Hz OLED screen..
agree
I just received this laptop after ordering it as soon as I watched your video and it's awesome. I can't wait to put it through its paces. I am trying to upgrade the SSD to a 2TB, but I can't seem to pry the bottom off. I have removed the 6 longer Torx head screws and 4 shorter ones. Are there any hidden under the feet and how thin a pry do I need to crank the bottom off? Thanks for any help.
How audible are the fans on idle? How long does the battery last with average use?
Are those benchmark numbers reflective of the device being plugged in and set to max performance mode? Or are those for balanced mode and unplugged? What is the battery range difference between those 2 use cases? Disclosure of that would be great to manage people’s expectations.
Plugged and top perf of course, on battery it works like shit and for 1 hour
Plugged in top perf. Mac is clear winner for battery and off-power perf
@@Thetechchap cool thanks!
I picked up the i7 Q420 version of this. Love it. Screen is addictive.
I bought one 3 days ago in Best Buy for $999.00. Tell me please about the battery, and fan noise. Thanks 🙏🏽
Hi, thx for the review.
Is it also possible to charge the laptop via a Type-C port ?
If so, what is the difference in time between the provided charging cable and the type-c one ?
Thanks!
yeah you can but the max through thunderbolt-4 port is gonna be 100w so half the standard included ac, usbc is more compact but the chargers at that wattage can be expensive and def look for a good cable but because of the power usage of the laptop 100w isnt enough so you lose battery while charging
Wow this is pretty much the ideal laptop I've been looking for! Just wish there was an AMD version...a 7940 HS or 7840 HS would definitely get better battery life, which I think a lot of people getting a portable 14" would care about...
Same here, except for the fact I literally cant find one??? (Atleast in australia) Literally no listings online im so confused
@@lachlan.mooney same in europe - Slovakia , i dont know if this is on sale...
@@lachlan.mooney Same in US, don't worry. The Asus website is mega trash and everything they have is crazy outdated except for this one laptop... honestly, a huge turn off, and the only places like Amazon selling this laptop are being sold by scalpers at $3500, so no thanks.
What yhe timespy score on this laptop and does it have freesyn and gsync support, thanks
Glad they removed the numb pad thingy, it keep trigger in my zenbook 13. Still feel they should move the io port to the left instead of right..
This looks killler! And the price isn't too bad when you look at other laptops in the space.
which is that, the price ?
@@victormarian7889 $2099
$2,100.00
Brilliant! I will buy it used at $900 in a couple years. I never ever buy new electronics.
For airplane tray table, I use my 10.5-inch Surface Go 2, also bought used for $150
Wow! this is great> i was gonna get myself a laptop. I added Dell Xps 15 to a cart for a whopping $2994. I glad i watched this video before paying for the dell system for a similar spec. Little did i know i was going to get a name rather than a system with excellent value for money. thanks for your honest review
Hi Tom!
Can you please tell me if the oled on zenbook 14 pro is better or the mini led on zephyrus or the flow x16.? Keeping aside the refresh rates and all.. considering just media consumption and first the look of it.
Hoping for a reply..thanks!
Great review as always!
How are the speakers?
If there is a ryzen variant it would definitely have much better battery life and it would completely wreck the m2 max.
How’s the screen for outside use? I find myself doing work outdoors and it would help to have a screen that is still easy to use even in outdoors conditions
It's definitely an all round performance laptop...
Which is rare these days...
I want one for gaming. Looks more discreet than a Lenovo Legion so can also be used for taking to the office and travelling with. IA lot of power for something that is only 1.6kg. I like it!
Trying to decide between this (w/ 4060), ROG 14" 4060, and waiting for results of Lenovo Slim Pro 9i 14". Really tough here, and the Lenovo hasn't even been reviewed yet. ROG 14 has significantly better battery and is cheaper but with a worse screen.
I'm fine to sacrifice my screen. The battery is more important imho. It may be worse, but it's still a very very good screen on the g14.
Id choose the g14.
@@sergoz123 Screen is the most important part of a laptop. This one easily beats G14.

@@ananttomar1865 They're both very different animals. The x16 miniled is much brighter but uniformity is a problem when enabling the mini-led function. Some ghosting as well due to dimming. The OLED is dimmer (550 vs 1100) but has better blacks and is more accurate. The OLED is a bit "grainy", not sure about the X16, it's been a while and I only briefly used it. Both are excellent btw.
Nice Video.. Always love watching your Videos...
I have a Question...
How Fast is The "Full SD Card"... Speeds... Up/Dwon
great review!
I wish adobe should provide dual nvenc encoder support for rtx 4080 and 4090 with av1 encoding and decoding as well.
Don’t they have that?
@@blackkingsize no. Still not support dual nvenc but davinchi has
Tech is SOOO crazy.... top tier tech is literaly soo acesible now... its mad
hey , great review, it would be great to see this being compared to the Razer Blade 14 2023, that video would be great
Nice review. Can you do the zephyrus g16 next?
when will you be reviewing the asus vivobook s series laptops? they look really good as a student laptop. I notice that the 2022 seems to be a better buy than the 2023 version
Do you have a video on how to take the back off? Do i need to remove the long rear rubber foot pad to look for hinge screws?
While being a high priced commodity, it’s a more professionally designed laptop and I think it’s got a really sexy sleek design 🥳😉🤤🥰👍
Could you start testing with latencymon this is not done enough and the only way to tell whether or not a windows laptop is fit for audio work :)
i may get this for: music production, lightweight, 3d modeling and of course: games. (cuz im a game artist lol)I'm gonna get the 17" maybe without oled and then get the amd processer with a rtx 3050
I picked its older, cheaper brother (UX3404) in September and it's been a decent second machine while on the go (I do mostly Architecture / 3D) - The 13900H is great, storage and RAM as well. I've been quite shocked by the battery life too (maybe 3-4hours of normal work in 3D) and the fans get pretty loud under quite simple load.
Paired with an eGPU it's a solid machine, which I had known about the 4070 variant back then
been looking for a comment like this 😫 for now I only use lumion and sketchup for rendering, I dont get most of these tecnic details, but the thing im worried about is the noise and heating, do you think I’ll get those issues with those softwares? I dont think those are as heavy as maya or rhino but still worried ab it
@@coti1468 I would expect a very similar experience to mine. Anything I've done outside of web browsing as resulted in the fans starting to ramp up (I use it in performance mode though).
Personally heat was never an issue (I always use my laptop on a desk, never on my lap and with a mouse & keyboard), noise is fine with any kind of noise-cancelling earpod, but you're not in macbook territory that's for sure.
TBH if your workflow allows to go on mac, this might be a better solution (noise & heat-wise). I'm stuck with windows because of 3d rendering
Outside the obvious size difference, how is this different than the (non 3D) ProArt 16? This feels like it's also a creator laptop, so I am wondering why it was released under the ZenBook line instead of ProArt.
When does this come out? I hate how hard it is to find concrete release dates after watching laptop reviews, I always find ones I like - then have no idea how/when to get them
Same. It does my head in when there’s something worth buying but zero way to actually reserve or get updates on it. I even went through the Nvidia site linked in the description and it only has 3050/3070 models.
At least apple's release date covers the whole world. You can hate on apple's devices but one thing they are good at is consistency in releasing products
Same here, was about to buy the G14 but this is better suited for me, but how and when/where can I buy it??
Does it look bad when you downscale the resolution to 1440p when gaming?
For the gaming tests, was that with dlss frame generation, or just super sampling?
I'm not expecting anything but would be cool if it had g-sync on the internal display
I think it has that
Great review, Tnx!! But where can I purchase the same spec 4070/2TB model you have? I’ve been looking around and only find the 4060 with 1TB HD. Trying to get a hold of ASUS is very difficult.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated !! Tnx.

Can you charge with USB C. I ask as a back up over night for example of If you left the charger at home. I'm sure it won't be enough to charge and run at the same time.
The problem with a lot of these laptops is that they are only really a good choice in comparison with an Apple Silicon Mac if they are on a desk with a mouse. The Macbooks have great trackpads, a lot better battery life, are cooler and never make a sound unless you are pushing the CPU and the GPU really hard and at that point it is still barely audible. As a true "laptop" (meaning you intend to use it on your lap), nothing in the Windows space is competing right now IMO.
Now if you intend to do intensive 3D work like Blender or play games, you don't really have a choice but to go with something other than a Mac. I figure this is a pretty good option as far as both of those go.
I would disagree with that. I used both the m2 air and the m1 pro, and they were great, but no better for lap use than the Surface Laptop 4. The SL4 was completely quiet and cool (unless I was gaming or rendering), and had, imo, slightly better keyboard and trackpad. The battery normally lasted me all day.
Plus, it had a touch-screen, which is great when using it on your lap.
The sheer variety of windows machines means you can get one for whatever needs and desires you have.
Want a touchscreen? Sure thing.
Want a 17 inch screen? Not a problem.
Want a dual screen? Fine.
Want a screen that folds back and you can write on? We've got dozens.
Want a screen that folds back, supports pen input, and also slots at 45 degrees over the keyboard but not the trackpad. Can do.
Want a screen that refreshes at 240Hz, 360Hz, or 480Hz? Take your pick.
Want a 16 inch laptop that weighs the same as a 13 inch m2 Air? Can do.
Want a 17 inch laptop that weighs a good less than a 14 inch MacBook pro? Sure.
Want a decent laptop under $500 bucks new? Got you covered.
Want 32 GB of ram and a 1 TB ssd for under $1,300? Okay, choose your brand.
Point being: if you want a laptop that only functions in clamshell mode, that has no touchscreen, that has great battery life, is very quiet, you can choose a MacBook (and be very happy), or you can choose from a bunch of windows machine. If you want any of the things listed above then you have to go with a windows machine.
@@saintgimpchapel I have tried numerous Windows laptops over the past year (I do have some stuff that only runs on Linux or Windows and was going to hopefully replace my desktop with a laptop for those tasks) and have sent them all back.
One of the main ones I thought about but never tried is the Surface Laptop 4 - primarily because the pricing for the power you get seems horrible. The underpowered U series chip along with only 8 or 16gb ram as the only < $2400 option just seems nuts.
I would agree that you have more options for hardware on the PC side of things but I'd argue most of those are not great. Sure you can get a 16 inch or 17 inch laptop that weighs less than a 13 or 14 inch Mac on Windows side but those laptops have horrible build quality in comparison (I assume you're talking about the LG Grams which I have tried).
As far as folding laptops, I would argue that someone would be much better served with an iPad/Mac combo.
For gaming (which is the only case you'd ever want a super high refresh screen), I am completely with you that the only route to go is a Windows (or Linux which I prefer) laptop.
I really do wish the PC laptop side of things was better, I really do. I am attempting to replace my desktop again and am eagerly awaiting the Framework 16. I bought the 13 inch but hated the trackpad and the screen aspect didn't play nice with Linux. The new 16 inch has a 16:10 screen and I will mostly be using a mouse since it will be replacing my desktop so I am super excited about it.
90% of people use their laptop plugged in when doing real work.
@@legendfpv Where are you getting that statistic? I work a lot of the time docked to my desk but I also work from my couch, from my bed when i'm sick, at a table (with no power outlet nearby) when traveling, etc.. I would agree most people probably use it plugged in when doing work but that is not always the case.
hi Tom, do you know when its being released in the UK? Thanks
Shame that it doesn't come in different colors like last years S13.
But the real issue is EU pricing: It start's at 3099€ for the 4060 model right now.
Supposedly there will be other CPU versions as well, although I doubt that anything will come close to the US starting price that you mentioned, which would be something like 2300€ right now.
Hoooooly moooooly
You sure it's not Amazon reselling it due huge premium?
I like almost everything on that laptop except the bulky size of the power supply which i think weigh more than the laptop itself , that psu remember me my old Turion64 machine power supply. Where there is nvidia always expect a big WOW on the picture quality.
for editing purposes (vegas, premiere & after effect) which laptop is better for performance, razer blade series or this one?
Would you recommend this or Lenovo slim pro 9i 4070 with the mini led screen? Can we have a comparison video?
Would love to see that as well
OLED vs miniled, OLED wins everywhere outside of HDR.
Cool video , thanks !
How faster than Macbook pro is it in exporting a lengthier 4K high bitrate video from davinci/premiere ?
Looks awesome, but does it run Linux well? I find that a lot of Nvidia especially anything with a mux switch has a hard time
You can run linux well on a 20 year old machine.
I’m coming from a fanless 2015 MacBook so I’m spoiled with light weight and no fans. but now My use case has changed and I would like to do some mild Gaming while still having a portable laptop to browse with. Would you recommend this one or the non pro version and have it be quieter and lighter.
Okay but how hot does the keyboard get under medium and heavy loads? And what about that jet engine fan?
How do you see this laptop compare to Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 14 Inch? Lenovo is selling this at a good price in Australia.
Looks like a winner, although I would like it in 16". I want a laptop to in order ro be able to work somemwhere else than on my pc. Mainly photo and video editing and After Effects. 14" would be a tad small, especially for the latter. And the transition from my 38" ultrawide to 14" is a huuuuge jump. Do you know if Asus has sth like this in a larger form factor?
Zenbook pro 16x oled ux7602, i9 13905h vs rtx 4080 for max option. Don't know the price
16" is too large. 14" is objectively the best size for a laptop display.
@@legendfpv Not if you do After Effects
Just gone one today and the trackpad makes a clicking noise when barley touching it. When two finger scrolling it makes a click. Its super annoying. Do you recall this happening on your laptop that you reviewed? Thinking about returning it, but they are hard to come by right now. Thanks!
I've got a Zenbook 14 OLED like this but without the newer processor or GPU, and I can confirm that it is extremely well built. Gone are the days of ASUS putting out god awful laptops, rejoice!
does it make a lot of noises with the fan ?? is it quiet when u do light task like excel + google for example ?
@@aaronaourane4208 Not sure what counts as "a lot" of noise but the fans definitely spin up and are audible if I start watching youtube at 1440p or higher. I have the Ryzen 5900HX model for reference. Also, it's not very good for games (without a GPU). I will say the screen is amazing though.
4:36 here I can hear the fan noise a bit. I want to buy a zenbook 14x with i9 13900h and rtx 3050 but I am worry about this CPU temperature in high workload. Did you have this problem with this compact laptop?
Please answer my question: which is generally better to the eye looking and more gorgeous regarding colors,accuracy and more beautiful to the eye looking :
the zenbook pro 14 or slim pro 9i
Zenbook : oled,120hz, FHD 2880*1800 , 550 nits
Lonovo: mini-LED,165hz, 4K 3072*1920 , 1200 nits
Is it better than the razer blade 14 ?
I'm curious to know how far I could upgrade the SSD. Do you think a double sided M.2 SSD card would fit?
Took a risk after reading around on the web - bought a Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB. Works great! Thought I'd post in case anyone else wants to do the same. There's plenty of height in the M.2 socket to accommodate the double sided board.
That "without dlss " was straight outta pocket since when we give without dlss after with don't f with us
They really need to make the next one usb power delivery charging, usb supports 200 watts, and gan chargers are much smaller than that giant brick. It's silly to require a giant and proprietary charging brick these days.
hey how many and at what refresh rate external displays does this support
Do they have a 16" version?
hows the performance on battery over the macbook?
Would love some feedback on making a decision! I recently purchased and returned a Blade 15 and pre-ordered a zenbook pro 14, probably a few weeks away from getting shipped out. I had always wanted a razer because of their aesthetic, but decided I wanted something smaller and was concerned w/ Razer support as a brand. I currently have a Alienware 13 R3 (love the OLED screen on it and support / same goes for my wifes HP) and was originally looking for the portable laptop w/ the following:
- RTX 4070 or above.
- Macbookesque build quality and uni-body design, but in black or a dark color
- Backlit keyboard, color is nice but not a deal breaker
- Dual m.2 slots (none of the "finalists" have this due to size) and can fit a 4tb gen 4 ssd
- Minimum 32gb RAM capable
- 14" 2k+ display preferable w/ pen support on a flat surface if possible
- 8-10 hour of battery life (some design work, can have 10+ chrome tabs open, check emails, etc.)
I've been in the Architecture profession for 12 years and also game, do graphic design, 3D modeling, some rendering and narrowed it down to the following:
- 13.4" 2023 Rog flow x13 with AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS - Can't find for sale
- 14" 2023 Blade 14 with AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS - $2750
-14.5" 2023 Zenbook Pro 14 with Gen 13 Intel Core i9-13900H - $2600
I plan on upgrading the Ram and SSD immediately, while also adding thermal paste (prices above include cost of upgrades, tax, and any discounts/cash back rewards). I hate the G14 in white so that isn't an option. I would have loved to get a z book, but their hardware is always a generation behind.
Have u ended up using the zen book pro 14 and what’s ur experience on it?
Is it able to run architectural softwares especially some rendering?
been looking for a laptop for a while and match exactly ur need!
Would love to hear your insights !
@ansonc9279 no issues so far! I've run Revit 22-24, CAD, sketchup, lumion, Adobe creative suit w/o any issues or bottlenecks. I have been mainly using it to remote into my work tower, but whenever I need it to, it has handled tasks really well.
The only upgrades I've made have been the ssd (8tb) and the thermal paste (grizzly). It stays relatively quiet, but can get hot (only on the underside) and the battery life is horrible. I get about 70 minutes on medium usage.
I've also played some first person shooter games like war zone which have been glitch free. I have it connected to a Dell dock with 2 27" monitors most of the time.
I plan on undervolting it when I get a chance. The screen is amazing, but a tiny bit "grainey". For some reason mine didn't come with a stylus which was very disappointing. I definitely wish it had a 360 hinge and better battery life, but the build quality is superb. I find the scroll wheel to be a gimmick, but I haven't set up my shortcuts yet to say that fairly.
It was a tough choice between this and the 14" slim pro 9i. I'm happy with my purchase overall. Hope this helps!
@@monkeyballer32 Thank you so much for the detailed reply! you are amazing.
it is sad to hear the terrible battery life but I guess it is inevitable among all the window laptops in similar configuration these days.
I am sightly concerned with the screen being grainy. Is it bad? Will you say it is livable with it or will it annoy you? I have seen reviews saying it is the touch screen causing it grainy. Since I am in Canada, we are able to get (and also only have) non touch version in the Canadian market, if I am opting for the touch screen version, i will have to buy it in the US and ship to Canada.
And I am looking at the 4060 version than 4070 as I believe it will still be able to run architectural software and potentially get a better battery life as it is less powerful. what do you think?
@ansonc9279 depending on what you're using it for the 4060 should be plenty since the i9 can multi-task anything.
The screen looks great, I came from an older 13" AMOLED and this looks nicer. Like you said, this is caused by the touch display
@@monkeyballer32 Thanks for the reply! that is really helpful.
do you have the screen door effect ? moire pattern on screen?
Do you know when the new Studio ProArt is coming out?
@thetechcap is this Zenbook 14 pro oled better than Lenovo yoga pro 9i or Dell xps 15 2023 or Samsung galaxy book 3 ultra ?
When you benchmark the laptop, do you leave it on battery or plugged in?
Plugged in, of course. The way 90% of people use their laptop.
Even in coffee shops with gaming box, "fan noise" NEVER annoys anyone
Everyone should keep all laptops plugged in regardless of chip, you get far more life from battery
Not everywhere that you can plug in. So you need 4 hour battery life for say video editing. Also, you can use Usb-c charger for compact power brick portability but i heard it might damage the battery...
@@eladbari A power brick doesn't harm battery, I have a brick twice the size of original battery, I get as much full power performance as I ever need
@@MrPerrisC I don't understand. You have a 3rd party power brick you use instead of the original brick which is bigger than it? What's the point?
I'm talking about using a smaller portable USB-C charger, and I heard they charge the battery while using it even when reaching 100%< and that creates heat..some laptops enable to bypass the battery and feed the laptop directly and this should save the life of the battery, yet these specs are not really transparent to us users...just the normal specs of CPU+GPU+RAM are...
@@eladbari My mistake, I misunderstood your original comment, where I am power brick also means battery, my laptop's battery is only 57 watt hours, I carry a portable supply and use laptop battery only when there's now plug and only when that supply runs out
I like it, but I use mostly work, excel docs, coding stuff and so I prefer 18 inch with similar specs
I donno why TH-cam get me this PC vs Mac again but did we compare the battery side by side with the same tasks, and I believe the best part of Apple M chip is about battery life with the power.
I’m looking for a powerful laptop for autocad and revit, is this laptop suitable or overkill?
