It might "feel" like it, but keyboards that are tilted towards the user are NOT ergonomic. Bending Your wrists like that is a common cause for CTS. If you imagine a line going through Your elbow, wrist and knuckles, ideally that line would be somewhat straight.
whatatoddler I was just thinking doesn’t that make a more acute angle on your wrist lol. If they do ever market it as healthy for wrists they’re gonna get some class action lawsuit against that claim.
it is if you dont use your elbows on the desk, it gives a better angle to your whrist if you sit (as ideally as we should) the flat is better, but a tilted is better for the wrst
This laptop is pretty cool & great, but I hate the location of fingerprint sensor. Wish would have put on top right/left of keyboard as not on the touchpad... Otherwise, a pretty decent spec
The best fingerprint location in laptop is literally in the power button, e.g. at the top of the keyboard and in circle button like Home button on iPhones or I'm the side
@@Mareepu the xps i've been using has stiff power button with a fingerprint sensor, that's how you're supposed to do it, I have to PURPOSELY press it for it to go down, and I have giant fingers
it depends on the laptop. obviusly, if you have the same specs in a laptop and in a desktop, the desktop is gonna work way better. but, if what you need if portability, you can buy many different tipes of laptops, for such a worth price. there are laptops in amazon for like 600/700 with really decent specs, to play many games on ultra. and there are other laptops for 400/600 really worth it to, and good for gaming
Yep, ergonomic keyboard positions are either flat, or even tilting down away from the user. Whilst tilting up may be comfortable in the short term, it can result in long term strain and RSI
the incline lets it vent better to ,unlike the crapbook that throttles instantly and dropds half its performance lmaoooooooo craple sucks nigga shit ahahhahahhah
No, the flat keyboard is ergonomic only if you sit up high and your elbow is about 90 degree angle which only applies to desktop keyboard that sits on a keyboard drawer that is lower than the desk. However this doesn’t apply to a laptop keyboard that usually sits on the desk much higher than desktop keyboard. So your elbow will always be less than 90 degree angle and the inclined keyboard will put less strain on your wrists. The key point is to make your wrist as straight as possible and not tilt upward.
Quick correction: the tilt of the keyboard actually isn't for ergonomics, because you'll be tilting your hands up even more while typing, straining your tendons. The opposite angle (sloped down) is way more comfortable, but it doesn't look as cool, so OEMs choose not to do it.
I don't know if I'd call it ergonomic, but the angled keyboard makes it feel more like typing on a standard keyboard instead of a flat laptop keyboard. My HP X2 is the same and I really like it.
Wow. Even the packaging for this is very well presented with that pop out design. I think that's just to remind people of the pop up on the laptop which I presume is for better cooling? It would be nice if this had a USB 3.0 port or 2, better audio quality, and at least a 1080p webcam. Honestly, I wish these companies would stop with the Ultra Book mentality of making thinner laptops.
I wish these companies would come out with a laptop I could afford . $1500 for a laptop? I'm lucky if I make that much in a month of full-time work. I'm pretty sure my desktop that cost me less than $1k to build and is water-cooled out performs any of these Ultra Books by a wide margin. A desktop I can constantly keep upgrading, a laptop can't.
And you can even see the PWM/Flicker on the screen in this video. That's honestly a no go! Why I choose not to opt for the UX430UN. The year before like on the UX430UQ there was not used any PWM to control brightness. Way to take a step back.

Asus has been putting out some really nice hardware. Two months ago I decided to add an Ultrabook to my workflow (besides my 2017 MBP 15, which's kinda big/heavy) and after a lot of research ended up choosing between the Asus Zenbook S and the Zenbook Flip S. I went with the Flip version because I wanted to try a 2-in-1 for photo editing. No regrets here, as the MBP has been collecting dust ever since. Would be nice to see a review of the Flip version. ;)
When's the last time you heard an AMD person content with what they have? They're always just saying "oh wait for ryzen!" "Oh just you wait for Vega!" "Ohhhh buddy just wait for Navi!" Stop buying it, if you're continuously a generation behind, for the same price.
FunkadelicPeach ryzen got half the cpu market share of intel in sales in 2017 and 2018, ryzen doing great, however in 2018 Amd gpus are struggling definitely with the 20 series announced.
What I do not like about laptop keyboards is that they do not have different key caps for different keys (like rounded, concave, convex etc) like a normal keyboard so it is really hard to find the right key only by touch alone, especially in the dark.
That’s so majestic. It’s like a Minotaur became a manly sexy unicorn. I wish I had one of those since I just went back to school. By the way. Do you ever do any videos in French?
The zenbook 13 inch late 2018 laptops comes out in like one month and it has mx150 and it's bezels are basically gone. It's the size of a4 paper and it also has the Argo lift.
"As you open the box, it presents the laptop to you." Well, what it's actually doing is mimicking the folding action the laptop, the way it lifts the bottom deck upwards. But yes.
I got this laptop like 3 weeks ago. It's pretty good except one thing. It's mouse pad likes to stick when you click and stay down. You have to flex the body to unstuck it.
You should make a video on making the ultimate Playstation 2. You could use the expansion bay for the HDD and Network Adapter, and set it up with an internal SSD, specifically if you get the sata version of the network adapter off of ebay.
Keyboard layout without separate home and end keys is a deal breaker all the time, for a person to use it for work. Typing using certain software. That's crazy.
"So after spending some time with the Zenbook S..." It seems to me that you just unboxed it for the first time. I don't see how you could claim that this is "The Best Laptop Hardware Yet" if you just took it out of the box. I could be completely wrong, but the same ambient lighting and clothing leads me to believe that you haven't spent a lot of time with it yet.
The only one problem is: i won't pay 1500$ to get a laptop without dedicated graphics, there are better options for less with a decent gpu that are still very portable
