I bought the i7-12700H/12GB/512GB vérsion 3 days ago, mainly for programming and I can say it is just amazing so far. Man this is a beast in such a small form factor. Had to go for gaming machines in past for H processor which are heavy like a brick. But this one is super in all aspects. I am loving it
@@PratapShinde that's okay buddy, how about burn in tho? Have you faced it ? Do you use some software with static images like excel or photoshop because I'm scared that if I use software like that it might cause burn in and ruin that beautiful display
@@iggy5022 I don't use photoshop but with everything else I haven't seen any of that. I use it mainly for Java development and use multiple IDE and databases and some other tools. I have not seen that happen with those tool
Bought this just the other day. So far amazing. Snappy. Amazing screen. No flicker and pretty bright. Vivid colors. Tried to do what I could and it now idles from boot around 4.5 gb ram used. And on Newegg on sale frequently it’s an unbeatable price. Plan to get more ram inside if I need it.
Thanks for the video. There are some confusing parts as your benchmark charts describe the 12700h on the 14X as a 12000h, and also the multi core CPU scores are way below the larger 12700h laptops, which you really don't sufficiently highlight or explain. Is the chip really throttled so much during extended runs? Kind of makes me wonder why they bother putting it into a smaller chassis.
What is the max ram i can upgrade to? It comes with 8gb embedded to the mother borard, right? Can I switch the 4gb from the slot to 32gb, making it 40gb total?
Could you test Vivobook Pro 14X? I would like to use it for programming but also sometimes for play rather older games like CS:GO, Dota 2, or smth like that. I'm wondering if it won't be too hot as it is very similar to S 14X but also it has additional RTX 3050Ti 35W. PS. If this 14X does throttle, maybe it's possible to undervolt it with Intel XTU?
I bought this 3 days ago, mainly for programming Java/jee/web etc. I connect it to an external monitor and keyboard. So far I am finding it amazing. Hope this helps.
@@PratapShindehi, I want to buy exactly asus vivobook s15 15.6” i7 12700h but I am a bit confused because now appeared at currys a lenovo yoga with the same processor and iris xe but with 16gb DDR5 with 14.5” for the same price and I don’t know which one to buy, anyone can help? Thanks
The S 14X and S 16X models seem to be just what I am after, but they just don't seem to be available in the UK. In fact, there seem to be a lot of ASUS models that, although shown on their UK website, are just not available here at all. Any other parts of the world, Europe, Asia, US having issues getting hold of these models?
Estonia, Finland - same problem and only in December in one shop in Estonia released VivoBook with intel 12 gen. 🤦♂️ (Other tech-markets have ryzen 5th or intel 11 generation). And this situation for Asus Vivobook series only.
Ok what about the i5 version of this model? I5-12500 Is that more better for the battery? Because I am concerned now about it. Replying Will bw appreciated
This one has 8GB soldered, so u can swap the 4gb with 16gb and make it 24gb. I haven't done it myself but I read it on Costco reviews. Hope that helps. Ok am not sure if Ddr5 can be used, because the one soldered is ddr4
I'm looking at this product now and it says DDR5-4800 on the pics, but DDR4 3200 on the spec page. The Ryzen model is 50usd cheaper and has DDR5 on both the pics and spec sheet. What is the truth...
Buddy these new ASUS laptops have feeble speaker sound, maybe it is the AI noise cancellation or low watt downward facing speakers, idk but please raise/ highlight this ..
Hi Ben! Thanks for the wonderful review! Could you please let me know if I should buy the Asus 14x intel i7 12700H or Lenovo Thinkbook 13S gen 4 with Ryzen 7 6800U. It will be appreciated. I can make my decision based on your suggestion.
I bought the VivoBook Pro 15 OLED Core™ i5 16 GB DDR4-SDRAM 512 GB SSD NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 Max-Q.Only i can not find how to make a system recovery USB.F9 butten after restart dont work.Any ideas will be welcome.
It is NOT all aluminium chasse. Only the top cover is made from aluminium. This is not your only video where you say auminium to plastic and it is so wrong. Btw, why the bottom went holes are covered with sticker. i have a very similar Vivobook and only the round fan hole is not covered in the bottom in the inside of the plastic bottom plate.
Between vivobook pro m3500QC Ryzen 7 5700h Rtx 3050 16GB ram And legion 5 Ya Core i5-11400h Rtx 3050 16GB ram Which them ? For Photoshop and corel draw and Programming For a University student
95 watt charger... That pretty much answers the question of whether they can push the 12700h or not. The 12700h needs to drink down close to 120w to reach peak performance.
Can anyone please tell me if i7 12700H is a great buy as per the Performence and great battery life or I should go with Ryzen 7 6800U series. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
😄Hey man, thanks so much for this channel. A few days ago I knew nothing about laptops, but thanks to you I know have some idea of this crazy market.🙃 If you could recommend a laptop strong enough for 4k video editing and a monitor to go with it I will buy it through your links. I have a $2000.00 budget for the laptop & $600.00 for the monitor. Thanks, I appreciate it 🙏

Do you know if anyone upgrades a ram on this Laptop? This Laptop accepts upto 40GB Ram. Do you have any idea abt it? some folks upgraded Model F4-3200C22S-32GRS

Make sure you are turning off the 120 hz and bringing it down to 60 hz. while on battery mode. You can have it done automatically via ASUS app. You can also put it on whipser mode. You can also go down to 1080p resolution. Won't look to different with a 14.5 screen.

Hi there, how have you found battery life? Also, as you're a developer, how do you find the keyboard you no doubt use very extensively? Thank you.

hey is it built like a gaming laptop or more like a slim notebook

Hi, should i buy asus vivobook s14 with 12th gen intel i5-12500h or ryzen 7 5800h? Mainly using for school work so i prioritise battery life.

yes
Thanks for the review
Looking forward the egpu performance on s14X
How does the 14X fare against the 14" Zenbook UM3402YA Touchscreen Laptop, with the Ryzen 7 5825U?

Would you recommend this or the Acer swift x 2022?
If you haven't already, how does the this Vivobook compare to the M2 Macbook Air for video editing. 1080p and 4k?
Thanks for the great video! It really helped me to make a choice
Which is better for programming

Can the 70wh battery be replaced. And if so, how hard would it be?
What is the max upgradable RAM size for the 2022 S 14X RAM? It has 4GB soldered?
Either 4GB DDR4 RAM soldered (max 12 GB) or 8GB soldered (max 16GB). Really unfortunate it doesn't go up to 32 GB.
@@Antonis24 That's sad.
@@davidletterboyz The Vivobook Pro 14X OLED 2022 (N7401) supports up to 32GB RAM (non-expandable).
