Thanks for having me!
Thank you so much for being a part of this man! ❤️
- E
amazing video, thanks! Also that ad break was SMOOTH lol I never sit through ads but that one was good
I like that Framework actually upgraded their laptop with 12th gen CPUs (yes, I'd love to see Ryzen/ARM/RISC-V options but it's good to see an upgrade nonetheless)
The collabs are great! Make more!
Thanks for having me on!
Much appreciated for your suggestions, as always.
You HC people make great videos, keep up the good work and thanks!
Super informative. Excellent as always, man.
Love the collaboration with Jarrod and Matt!
Nice to see you back after a long time! Great video!
I've seen many youtubers out there, but your recording and editing is so Good! I dream of editing like this. Good job. thx
Really good choice of guests 👍
Result: Great content
Great vid, link in description to the ASUS Zephyrus G14 goes to the Acer Helios 300 on Best Buy, just FYI. 'Love this kind of round up!
I have an M16 and I’m glad it’s on this list, it reassures me buying it.
Awesome Vid, great information and insight! Btw can you share the wallpaper on the setup in the background at 6:07mark? Ive been eyeing it every video!
The 6800u is a popular choice in upcoming handheld PCs, which I’m in the market for. It’s concerning if it is that rare to find in laptops. I can’t imagine all these handheld PC manufacturers will have much stock either
loved that initial d scene while Acer Swift X was on screen
*Deja vu!*
Great summary of amazing options!
Id like to add that the asus rog flow x series is also an amazing option! As a student, designer, and gamer, it marks all my boxes. The performance is great for heavy adobe use, video editing, or animating. It’s very reliable overall. No gimmicks, just good.
I have been using the Legion Y530 for about 4 years and just recently upgraded to the Legion 5 Pro (2021), i know there is a bit of a difference compared to its 2022 counterpart, i got the 2021 on a sale and i just cant go for a base price 2022 and it still does well nonetheless. On a side note, i cant deny that the difference is night and day compared to my previous laptop, i have been enjoying Lenovo's Legion laptops for many years and they didnt disappoint when i got another one of their laptops, its great to see them dominate the laptop market and i hope they continue to do well and add more game-changing features to the market.
What is the difference between legion 5 pro 2021 and 2022 ?
Great youtubers to have in the vid
Big respects for whoever has the Renault R5 3E Concept Car as their background.
I love how you tell people to spend responsibly
the ultimate laptop buyer's guide. You even got the pro's to join in on this video, matt & jarrod are the authority when it comes to laptop reviews., when paired with Hardware Canucks professional delivery style, and top level cinematography good things happen!! i think you guys should do more collaborations.
Edit: I think the ROG STRIX G15 is a amazing bargain. Can be found for 1k bucks or less in many stores and it has great build quality.
Also, in case you decide to do a video on laptops to avoid, please put the gigabyte aero 5 xe4 on the top of the list. :(
Doesn't it lack a MUX switch though? I was so close to buying it but the lack of MUX switch is maybe a dealbreaker.
@@bhargavshatrughna489 it does not have a mux switch. Still runs all games i've thrown at it, maxed out on its native 1080p resolution.
When connecting to an external monitor, i use a usb type-c to displayport 1.4 adapter, and get g-sync out.
The games I play mostly are dota 2, anno 1800, assassins creed vallhalla, and a bunch of emulators, so far everything runs really well.
The armoury crate lets you turn off the dedicated nvidia card when NOT plugged into power outlet, and this helps increase battery life.
Also, armoury crate lets you cut the refresh rate in half when not plugged into power (from 144 to 60) to help with battery life.
THe speakers on the g15 are probably the best sounding speakers i've heard on any laptop i've owned, (mind you not a lot) and the keyboard is centered, comfrotable to type on, has lots of awesome dedicated media playback buttons that REALLY DO make a difference in day to day use, and the trackpad omg this thing is huge, awesome to use.
Great reviews this year, as always. Excited for next year's units. 13th gen/Zen4 CPUs, radeon 7000 gpu (not going near Nvidia if the pricing rumors are true -US$2200 for a 4060 laptop-). Seems a good year to upgrade.
when do they come out?
Great and very informative video guys, but I would love to see at least one or two picks for Linux laptops as well. :D
Thx for another great video! I'm stuck btwn the s13 oled vs macbook pro 14in m1 pro. Looking for something w great battery life and display plus power for productivity when needed. Don't plan to do gaming on the go and have a great desktop for that at home. Which way would yall say is the way to go?
Been using my M16 2022 from the day it's available in the market... I'm one of the first M16 2022 owners in my country. Here's a little review from me...
First of, the screen..
The screen is vivid, colors pops, and it's really nice to look at. However, there's a slight issue when it comes to skin tones. Colors are a bit off and tend to over saturate. Skins appear reddish for some reason. It can easily be fixed by reducing the saturation by a little amount in the Nvidia or Intel display settings.
Next, the performance.
I have the i9 12900h. It's performing really well when I first got it. After quite some updates (bios updates, windows updates (I'm using the beta channel)) my Cinebench scores are around 16k. When I first got it, it was staying at around 18k. Idk if it's because of my fans are dirty, or is it because of windows 11 beta or the updated bios which I believe prioritize battery and temps... Anyway, 16k on cinebench is still plenty enough for gaming and day to day task...
Next, Thermals and noise
The 12th gen intels are known for its great performance but with the cost of it being really hot which makes the fans super loud on Turbo Mode. I wouldn't say the fans are loud enough to be intrusive but using it indoor where it is quiet, it can be quite annoying and you might wanna stay in performance mode.
Keyboard and trackpad.
Trackpad is one the best I've used on a windows laptop no doubt. Keyboard on the other hand, if you press it like on the edge it sometimes won't register. But the feel is great, so it's a minor complaint.
Design & built quality
Key feature of this device is the design. I bought the M16 just because it looks good and low profile. Built quality is great, the keyboard deck finish is a fingerprint magnet and is hard to keep it clean. Minor issue is the soft rubber finish started to peel off on the edge of the laptop. Idk if this will be an issue in the future but keep in mind, better off to go to asus service center and request a swap for the G15 keyboard deck. Pretty sure it's the same fitting.
Price
It's expensive for what you get.
There are a lot of laptops that will give you more with the same amount of money.
Conclusion:
If you have the money, and you like the looks of it, buy it.
I'd recommend getting a more value for money laptop tho lol
Cheers 🍻
Man, Lenovo Legion series has been hitting hard since the Y530. Sleek, powerful, yet affordable. I wish I could get one in the future.
I just purchased the Legion 5 Pro 3070ti 2022 model and sheesh this thing is a beast with the price point you really can’t beat it.
@@9OsLatina does it over heat? And how long does the battery last I’m thinking of buying one
Watching the video via Asus M16, glad it was mentioned. Not mentioning the performance oh my god I'm in love with the screen. I would never consider upgrading unless its to a newer version of this model.
Hi, it's been 3 months since you made this comment. Just wondering how you are still finding the laptop. I'm also considering buying one as well. Thanks!
Ayyy ma boi Jarrod chimed in
if money were not an issue, should i get legion 7 or legion 7 slim?
im thinking 7 would cool better than slim but not sure why they didn't mention it here
I believe that MSI Delta 15 must be in the Honorable mentions at least: it is one of the best price-performance ratios (in Europe) and a very good build quality with a professional look.
Thank you.
What a crew 🤘
your voice so calming you should do audio books
That initial D opening 🔥🔥
I am waiting my Legion 5 Pro 2022 i7 12th gen + rtx 3070ti. decided to upgrade from MSI GL65 i7 9th gen + rtx 2060 from 3 years ago. I know 13th gen intel and rtx 40 series is around the corner, but I thino 12th gen +3070Ti and thunderbolt support will serve just fine for 4 to 6 years ahead
I picked omen 17, rtx 3070ti with i7 12800hx undervoltable and it demolished everything and i am astonished how no known youtubers ever suggested it to anyone and idk why?
For 2023, I would like you to test the next LG Gram. 16'', ~1kg is just awesome IMHO.
The Framework laptops would be another interesting beasts, for totally different reasons.
If only the Schenker Vision 16 Pro came out a bit earlier, it'd be pretty high on the list. Definitely my favourite laptop of the year.
I wonder what you guys think of the Samsung Galaxy Book Pros. They are pretty competitively priced for their specs and some of the thinnest and lightest laptops I've seen and handled.
Great vid as always! What would be recommended for an engineering student who games as well? Can't understand what areas I should prioritise. Needs to be CFD simulation capable, CAD (solidworks), ricardo wave as well as managing with large excel spreadsheets, graphs etc. Also games such as MW2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I would add the strix g15 g513 with a r7 6800h and rtx 3070ti, its really good because the 2022 version features a mux switch.
The 16 inch M1 Pro is the best tech device I have ever used since years, I have zero complaints about it
I think that the Aorus 15P is amazing. It has more power being supplied to its GPU so performance is there, and as long as you have your fans on the right game settings, it cools it great. Keyboard and trackpad are pretty good as well. ugly webcam, but eh, I don't really use one too often.
I was able to get a 2022 G14 on sale during black friday and I've been super happy with it.
I am planning to buy Asus zenbook 14 12th gen ?? Is it worth it ??please respond
Is it 12th gen model brother ??
@@bhabok20 mine is the Ryzen 9 and RX 6800s model so I'm not sure how good the 12th gen flavor is.
DO you have any backlight bleed in the 4 corners? everyone i buy suffers from it. Im getting really frustrated.
@@Rudebwoiilee Not that I've noticed but I haven't run into a situation where I needed to crank up the brightness.
Before buying macbook for uni (especially technical-oriented studies) check out which programs you will have to use and whether they run on macos
I completely agree with the Zenbook s13. It was such a disappointment, I really wanted it but wasn’t able to get my hands on it.
Outside the US you can get the Yoga 14” Gen 7 with the Ryzen 7 6800U to order on the Lenovo site. It’s a 2in1 with a 2.8K touchscreen but you don’t have to use this functionality if you prefer a clamshell. It outperforms the ASUS on every metric thanks to the larger form factor and better cooling and faster SSD, better webcam etc. Bigger battery and better ports too but comparable on price. If you’re based in North America, hopefully you’ll be able to get it in 2023.
I just got myself an ASUS Vivobook 15 S and It's honestly really good especially considering the price. It's a $1500 laptop that works better than a lot of $2000 laptops I've used in the past.
I got the asus zenbook s13 and my god am I in love with it. I switched from my 7 year old ultrabook and its been the most insane upgrade. It’s lighting fast, crazy battery life and amazing display. I honestly cannot recommend it enough.
is this the amd or intel 12th gen version?
Ryzen 7 6800U
Is asus zenbook 14 good ?? I am considering to buy one ??
how is performance on battery? ive been seeing reports that CPU throttles quite a bit on battery unlike intel and can only get full performance plugged in
Hi, I was looking to get my first gaming laptop and wanted your opinion on the best option under $1800
The laptop gods in one video!
Would it still be worth it to buy a 2021 laptop, brand new now in 2023? (Having Ryzen 5000s with 30 series GPUs)
What would you suggest if I am a college students who needs to carry my laptop daily but take gaming seriously as well, would prefer Nvidia GPU over AMD as I don’t know if it’s true but it has lower loading speeds and updating speeds for programming and 3D rendering.
im confused which macbook air i should get though
before i considered buying Asus M16 for my architecture school but after researching and found some problems so ultimately i chose Lenovo 5i pro. i think i chose the right decision. the only problem that i had on this laptop is weight. but is not a big problem for me. and another problem is that my laptop has no RGB and still has the big Y logo at the back, because i bought in China. that is Chinese version. but that is not a big problem for me. Thanks so much for your advice that make me make a right decision.
I'm looking to buy an Asus M16 too, what problems did you find that steered you away from it?
i was waiting the entire time for someone to mention the g14 11:43 😂
Holy moly... you ALL missed the Lenovo Slim 7i Pro X! You gave it a rave review, what happened? I bought 1 and LOVE IT! 😍
My only complaint is around 5 hours battery life doing productivity & browsing on balanced mode with 75% brightness. I probably could squeeze over 6 hours with the right settings. But still better battery than most Windows11 laptops with a Nvidia GPU.
I love the new Macs, but I must have a touchscreen on my laptop. My current HP laptop has one and I find myself tapping on every other laptop lol.
Very interesting
Awesome video but No mention of Asus Zephyrus G15 (is it that bad?)
I didn't feel like much was discussed for creators,but mainly gaming 🤔 so I'm still stumped lol. I may want to do light creative work this mostly for studious use. I wonder what students can afford these tho lol
Those whose parents pay for their tuition and rent
I think next year you should add few more categories, below 500$, below 750$ and best 1000$ laptop(basic MacBook, lol)
I bought the Zenbook s13 OLED yesterday directly on Asus Canada website shop.... It went out of stock right after my purchase...I guess I got lucky!
Shall i consider dell alienware x14 becoz i dont find them in your list i really find it look premium and smaller size factor but i want some suggestions before i should get them or not
Where do you find the different colored acer swift Xs' I cannot find them anywhere...
rog flow z13 pretty much nails it. Can just imagine what will shape up in the 2023 version
For office/school work I was wondering if Samsung Galaxy book 2 360 was a good choice
Because most of these option are gaming laptops are heavy build so everyday carrying is a hassle!
What's your take on the galaxy book series?
Having the predator such a beast
Thoughts on the new vivobook?
was missing something in the 2-in-1/convertible/detachable category, something to use with a pen or such, but not as limited as tablets. Were they all crap this year?
I was surprised not to see much of those this year, with alderlake U series and similar CPUs there should be room for some decent development in this area.
currently the best is lenovo yoga 7 with amd 6800u cpu, nothing comes close if you are into 2 in 1
What was the white laptop that you had in front of you??
Zenbook S13 OLED is pretty hard to find but I was able to pick one up at Microcenter. They’ll have a couple in stock every so often.
A video like this leaves me wishing there were seperate versions focusing on the main different lap top needs : Full size / high end and then seperately a cheaper / thinner focused video.
Most of these options were useless to me as i am only looking for high end / full size.
Love the round up, I would wish for a little more Thinkpad coverage and especially since you cover the dells XPS line.
Lenovo is killing it, my only struggle is picking which one. I want a laptop for gaming but I also use Illustrator a ton so things like color accuracy and gamut are important, too, any advice?
Oh shit a Jarrod surprise appearance lol
My ZenBook 14X with an MX550 actually keeps up really well with everything listed here outside of the upper settings on gaming. Bit disappointed I didn't see it here
I am planning to buy Asus zenbook 14 12th gen ?? Is it worth it ??please respond
@@bhabok20 I love it. I work in data analytics and it works well for my work. Also plays most games in lower settings well
You guys should try featuring more budget laptops, most people don't have $1k+ to spend on a laptop, and at that price range the majority of laptops are pretty good.
The best student laptop would be the Asus E210, it's literally $100. You're basically paying for 1 year's worth of Office 365 and getting a free laptop with it.
I don't recommend the Asus TUF laptop, it's cheap at $700 but it has a god awful display that only has ~40% sRGB.
I just bought an HP 17 for $550, it has a 17 inch 1080p 100% sRGB display, 11th gen i5, backlit keyboard, and 512GB NVMe SSD. For an all purpose laptop, you can't beat the value proposition it offers.
Hey do you think the hp 15 version of the same laptop you mentioned would perform just as well?
Which laptop is the white one in front of him for the video?
i think maybe the lenovo slim 7 pro x would have been a good fit somewhere, with around a 7 - 10 hour battery life, and enough performance to where im thinking of getting rid of my desktop, and its very slim, its very similar to the 14" acer at the start but with amd, and also i think it may be a bit slimmer
I was also expecting that.. low profile.. high performance.. great battery.. awesome screen..
10h no. 7h is possible on Ryzen SKU with refresh lowered to 60Hz.
If you need more than 7h, there is regular Slim 7 14 (not "Pro" version).
@@lars2894 I have gotten over 10 hours while watching TH-cam and programming. Also no I'm not going with Intel ever again after my last Intel laptops
@@SkysTrains do they have a 15 inch version of this? RIght now im running a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series, old model, Intel core i5. I'm so used to the 15 inch screen but 14 isn't terrible.
@@KalvinPatel there is a 16 inch but idk how good it is. Ik it has the same specs and maybe a different cooler. Possibly a larger battery but idk for sure
Eiber, what do you think manufacturers charging more money for less performance, for high end 3080 and 3080 ti laptops, even though the performance is far from the desktop. Some times 3 times with equal performing desktops even if we include all the desktop peripherals.
idk why do creators choose the air m2 over the m1. I personally think the performance jump doesnt really matter 99% of the times. The older device runs cooler. And the most imp thing is that you save a lot of money too?!?
Lenovo Yoga Slim Pro X 14'5 AMD 6000 serios IGPU 680M mem at 6400 Mhz .. aluminium body .. 7 Hrs autonomy .. pretty sweet :) .. and its got a puresight validated 16:10 3k screen .. front firing speakers .. glass large trackpad ..
and if thats not enough there-s a variant with an ryzen 9 /3050 RTX .. which I dont think its gonna do so great on battery life but boy, you will have some power :) !!
i have an Asus flow x13 that i use for work, PA/Coordinator on Film/TV set & for gaming & editing with the external
gpu. its great
These laptops can't begin to scratch the surface of the Predator Helios 500. RTX 3080 with 64 gigs of RAM. 4K display.
what mic u use?
For me the best one, especially for devs, was the tuxedo infinity book 14, i7-12700h, 3050 in option, 3k 16:10 display, 10h of battery life and it ships with a custom Linux distro containing apps that allows you to disable the GPU if you don't need it at a certain time to save even more battery
Another great one if tuxedo is not available is probably thinkpad T14 (there might be some QC issues, but make sure to get a 3 year onsite as well, incase if you face any issues)
And also has a fairly well support for Linux
Plus its also one of the few mainstream laptops which actually support s3 sleep
Tuxedo also did a Pulse 15 refresh that's an interesting alternative - a less powerful CPU but even better battery life and paired w/ a 165Hz panel. Slimbook is also selling versions of the same laptops (both are Tong Fang chassis).
It's a pity that not even one of the tech vloggers did not remember the LG Gram laptops, that are great and lite laptops.
Wish a Canadian based Tech Channel would talk about the Canadian market more or include some options to get some of these laptops. I have yet to see a 2022 Asus G14 for under $2000 CAD here.
Finding them was a pain up until the end of the summer, and there is also no config with the 1440p screen and 32GB of RAM. The European 16GB version comes with 16GB soldered and an empty slot which is much better than the Canadian 16GB which has 8GB soldered and 8GB in the RAM slot.
@@robloxianews7636 Yeah I couldn't find anything with 1440p at all and the price was still crazy. I had no idea about the ram, yeah I did notice that the models were coming 8 GB soldered so you could only upgrade to 24 GB. But yeah I wish these guys would note things like that and give work arounds on how to get some of the products they are reviewing. LTT is guilty of this too and they are based in BC.
what about 17 inch media focus? screen/speakers and upgradeable storage
Asus's Tuf dash f15 2022 is a really good laptop for the price and has really good build quality too for the price of course
The Asus Zenbook Pro 16x Oled (ux7602) received i7 (h-series) with its excellent battery life, 16-inch 4K OLED display with Dolby Vision HDR, and RTX 3060 and uplifting keyboard, It has a special RGB lighting effect. All in all, a great Creator laptop with a great battery and a great display with special features like ASUS DIAL and an enlarged haptic trackpad with numberpad 2.0
please review this laptop if its possible
Could you do this again for 2023 please?
I got a Zephyrus G14 with the Ryzen 6800h and Radeon 6700s for 1050$CAD with taxes. The best deal since I'm buying or building computers for 20 years
The problem .... of almost all notebooks since 2018 is a wobbling screen panel. They try to make it mac-like, but made of plastic. A result is terrible (as at 4:46 and 8:51)
Wish there was more slim gaming 17" laptops. Surprised those are rather scarce.
Could any please have comment on Hp Zbook G8 Power. Thanks
Yes I am still finding any way to buy Asus Zenbook S13 oled, Everywhere I see it's out of stock 🥺
