we do more single core tasks on a daily basis than multicore. and ppl that do use multicore are mostly content creators or hardcore gamers which these laptops are not made for
@Garrus-w2h Comparing 12 P-cores to 4P+4E, they are in completely different categories when it comes to multi-core performance. The direct competitor to the x elite is Arrow Lake H/HX, and in terms of multi-core performance, it will definitely be crushed by the latter.
If my office can't get MBPros, this would be a nice option. I want portability (light weight) and battery life for what I do in my job. The performance with these looks very acceptable.
Honestly, I'm waiting for more Lenovo laptops to release to replace my slowly aging Samsung laptop that's about 4ish years old now. I'm excited for the massive battery savings im hopefully going to get. 😅
Ouch! Qualcomm must be seething 👀 $Billions in R&D and looking like they were positioned to be the next big thing in PCs and now Intel is back with a vengeance!
Game over for Qualcomm. You would be stupid to get an Arm powered Windows laptop at this point unless you want to deal with software compatibility issues.
@@RiftWarth I don't think it will be game over, but I think if they want to succeed they might need to flood the market with cheaper Qualcomm powered laptops. Most people will only be using web, email, Netflix etc, so they won't run into these issues but if Intel starts churning out x86 chips that are as efficient as ARM, then ARM will need something different to compete (price?).
Max is the reason why I bought a MBA M1 some years ago for the use of Resolve! and I HATE IT. I hate Mac OS so much but I cannot verify a WIN NB for exchange, just for performance an packaging, battery, display vs. price! NOW I can. THX for that.
Asus does make nice stuff. For me though I have to decide on what equipment to get based on the ecosystem. Apple has more to offer that way though not perfect by any stretch. If Microsoft, Intel and Samsung would get together and fully integrate I could see going there.
I bought an Asus Zenbook 14” in late 2022 and that was already wow, especially the OLED Display compared to any Apple MacBook is worlds apart. I wonder why Apple won’t even offer this Display on their upcoming Apple MacBook Pro M 4 ? Kind of sad especially Video Editing becomes so more precise to the final project bc the Touch LED panel.
Lunar Lake is a right step for Intel in the PC portable market segment. They have finally produced laptop chip worth upgrading to! The only constraint is the GPU performance in video games in comparison to AMD or Apple, however that should come eventually as well with driver optimization. Asus also delivered beautiful laptop with great value worth every penny.

I can see the media shortcuts on the trackpad being annoying since I don’t look at where I’m touching the trackpad. That’s why Apple’ trackpad was the the best. My new HP laptop finally has a trackpad that is zone independent.
This laptop is an excellent deal. And the performance that Intel shows us is not bad at all, but I think it is not as impressive as we expected. Let's hope that Qualcomm and AMD bring us something better next year.
Great short highlight / test video! I love the fact that you guys also look at video editing performance - specifically in Davinci. Wondering what would you say is the better choice compared to a M1 Max (double media encoders can still do wonders). If you'd have to pick one for every day use with Lightroom and Davinci mixed in - what would you go for? M1 Max or this?
It has taken 4 years, but good to see PC back to being the value play it always was. MacBooks have been so superior for so long it made buying at the £1000+ price point easy, not anymore…
You can easily turn off the fans in the Asus app. In this case the difference in speed will be marginal. You still have the option to turn them on to get some extra juice.
I prefer windows and x86. but I prefer the macbook screen (much brighter, better for outdoors without risk of burn in). would love to also see the macbook screen with antiglare coating for better outdoor visibility. (I know the Lenovo Legion 9i has that)
@@Epicgamer_Maci mean, i can game on intel with same battery life and good performance, that's a win in my book. i know this is subjective. for regular users like students, you won't even notice difference
@@Epicgamer_Mac It blows MacBooks out the water. Cheaper, faster, better battery life, more store and memory, touch screen, pen support, instant on, etc. MacBooks' 8% global laptop share is about to get even small...loll
I wish the PC chips had more logical and simple names. Apples M1 to M4 is so much simpler and clear. I really don't like the windows interface, used it back in the day and it was always overly complex compared to the simplicity of the Mac interface. But you do get more ram and storage on a Pc for the price, which I wish would influence Apple to reduce prices. Interesting video but not going to switch to PC as I love my M3 MacBook Pro and Mac mini. I'm well locked into the Mac ecosystem.
I prefer Windows and Android.... I have two laptops, G14 for gaming and M2 Max MacBook Pro for video editing and work, I have to say.... Any x86 architecture is going to have a hard time beating Apple's battery life and one of my favorite features about it is you can actually put the laptops on your lap and they're not burning hot with fans pumping out hot air and putting out noise to boot. I guess these days you just have to have two laptops if you want the best of both worlds. It's so nice to just take a laptop on the go if I need to like save my car need servicing and I need to work from the service center at the dealership being able to take a ugreen portable charger and my MacBook pro gives me 20 hours of battery life you can't beat that. If I didn't take the battery charger I'd have roughly about 6 to 7 hours. But I'm a power user multiple VMS running at once etc.
Too many times you said low noise, on my old vivobook 14 the noise was horrible that’s why I think to go for Lenovo yoga pro 7 gen 9. Better performance, lower price, less noise
Perhaps i missed it, SSD soldered on or user upgradeable? Perfomance comparison unplugged or plugged in, is there a performance difference between plugge and unplugged? The higher specced lunar lake is than in competition with the Pro Chips?
@@loelee8893 i think the SOC is having the RAM inside like apple silicon, even onapple devices the Storage isn't included in the SOC. Just had a look at the spec page. izt has an 2280 M2 Gen4 Slot. So theoretically upgradeale to 8 TB of storage .
Comparing this chip and a MB Pro vs an AMD 365 instead of a 370, it is done to make the intel look better. You should put both on the charts or take the price equivalent, which is the 370. You should have added the MB air to the charts too. If efficiency is what you want to show, you are missing a performance per watt chart for different workloads.
@@ricardoelectronicsrepair the core distribution is meaningless, performance per Watt is the important figure. If a manufacturer decides to cut threads is their predicament, but the need to show that the performance/watt makes sense. Especially if the released product is priced the same
Normally this channel just dumps on how much better MacOS is compared to Windows. Knew something was up with the title when it wasn’t saying “End Of Windows?!?!?!?!”
I’d have liked to have seen that video editing test vs say a laptop with a 185H Meteor Lake processor, say a Zenbook 14, and then with something similar with a 4080, say a Zephyrus G16, and also a Proart P16…….and to have seen battery life tests on those too.
It was looking promising until OLED. I don’t want screen burn or deteriorating image quality on a monitor I can’t replace. OLED is the worst possible choice for anything that shows static images for prolonged periods, such as the menu bars that virtually all apps have.
Competition is only made possible when Apple launched their M1 chip with Arm Architcture and built on TMSC better chip manufacturing technqiue. Before that, Intel only made 5-8% performance growth each year witht their new chip every year. So, it is happy to see Intel has come back with their better and competitive products to rival against Apple. Open competition is the key.
Prob gonna go with Intel over the rushed and useless snapdragon. I have more confidence of being able to do more with a actual cpu vs the rushed snapdragon that was not even targeted for laptops
I bought but had to return an ASUS Zenbook 14 core Ultra 5 laptop. It seemed great hardware, good build quality, great looking display. Unfortunately my need is to operate with some USB connected outboard devices, which I could not get working correctly. My guess: the device drivers for those are a few years old and this new generation hardware has left them behind. Apparently this is an even larger problem for the new Snapdragon laptops.
I read a review of this laptop and on battery the performance is almost the same, maybe just a few percent slower. There was a graph and two lines were very close
"It is so snappy, unzipping files it is flying, like I would get from an ARM laptop and I didn't think that was possible" What did you think ARM is exactly, magic? Apple silicon is good because the architecture is good not because of ARM.
Bro I don't know where he gets the speedometer 3.0 scores for M3 14 inch Macbook Pro but my 2 year old M2 Macbook Air get a solid score of 30-32 in speedometer. I have never seen my device go below 29. How is this even possible with M3? I guess its a paid review. Damm guys I would suggest just buy the device only when you try or test it. My friend has X-elite laptop, for daily task I would say it is on par with the Macbooks, but when it comes to some professional works (I am a developer btw), the Snapdragon falls back quite a lot. I guess its a compatibilty kind of thing. But what I can say with my experience is Macbooks give the best overall performance and quality despite being abit expensive then the rest. Just buy a macbook with a decent Ram (not storage, for storage just get a external ssd that way more cheap) and enjoy your life.
Honestly, controls on the trackpad is a bad idea! That trackpad is already on the small side, and when I use my mac's trackpad I rarely have any freaking idea where I am putting my fingers. I would constantly trigger those controls unintentionally.
My view, I like windows much better than Mac OS... But I like Mac hardware... Maybe time to switch back... I like the OLED panels... And 32 gigs of RAM should be a starting point... I guess I have to check out the track pad and keyboard.
Does anyone know when macbooks will no longer have a notch on the display? I really like how the display on this Zenbook looks with no notch even with small bezels. I heard macbook is getting OLED in 2026 so mabye by then the screen will look good by not having the notch?
Yes! For the life of me I don’t understand why people are mad. Isn’t it better for everyone if these companies compete aggressively against one another? And give us good products? I thought having alternatives is a good thing.
Not very relevant, the core 9 is just slightly higher clocked with a slightly higher TDP rating. The core 7 is likely the better balanced choice with the better battery life.
Lunar Lake is disappointing. AMD is killing it for X86 needs. Mac users are happy with M3 and Qualcomm is offering a good ARM alternative on the Windows side. Intel just can't compete anymore.
This chip is overall preety good. One other use for this is due to it being x86, putting it on gaming laptops would significantly increase thier poor battery life.
4x more RAM and 2x more storage for 100$ less... At this point even Silicon Valley start-up employees will start looting Apple Stores if inflation goes on
I think the PC is in trouble when M4 MacBooks show up in a few weeks. They’re going to smash the benchmark again. But looking at it now, and just for what it is, really impressive that Intel Is finally doing what Apple silicon on Mac started after four years.
The worst laptop I had in the past was the previous gen of Zenbook S. Beautiful and sleek, poor battery that after a year barely hold to watch a movie, an ssd so bad it was writing with 80MBps max after less than a year, sleep never worked and the admitedly 3K screen stared to delaminate the day after the warranty expired. The sound was also worse than my iPhone 4S
32 gigs base Apple 8, but m4 will be 16.... apple base is 256 storage, while Asus is 1 TB. Looks pretty solid and cheaper, lighter, with Oled....what's not to like?
@@151mcxI seriously hope Apple has a base of 1tb for any MacBook Pro or why would you have pro in the name? Also we are waiting for the Tandem OLED screens to come to the MacBook. They are so slow. 😅 Now the competition is getting fierce let’s see what they do.

For that reason I expected Microsoft to release Windows 12 and that it would be built from 0 instead of a revision with more bloatware.
@@raguel259 bloatware are to death 😫
Good and informative video, I only think that 32 GB of RAM is overkill for me.
qualcomm dies...
Are the neural engine TOPS comparable like that? Aren’t there different way of measuring it depending what model one use?7:33
Geekbench AI is the way to go
Intel definitely needs a win
Honestly, controls on the trackpad is a bad idea! That trackpad is already on the small side, and when I use my mac's trackpad I rarely have any freaking idea where I am putting my fingers. I would constantly trigger those controls unintentionally.
Asus & Intel great job 😍
Is a near 30% drain after 4 days in standby considered good???
I might have missed it but does it perform the same on battery as it does plugged in?
We will find out. That was the case for some Meteor Laptops, but since Lunar Lake is based around efficiency no one can really say for sure just yet
My view, I like windows much better than Mac OS... But I like Mac hardware... Maybe time to switch back... I like the OLED panels... And 32 gigs of RAM should be a starting point... I guess I have to check out the track pad and keyboard.
Does anyone know when macbooks will no longer have a notch on the display? I really like how the display on this Zenbook looks with no notch even with small bezels.
I heard macbook is getting OLED in 2026 so mabye by then the screen will look good by not having the notch?
Don't you love competition?
Yes! For the life of me I don’t understand why people are mad. Isn’t it better for everyone if these companies compete aggressively against one another? And give us good products? I thought having alternatives is a good thing.
keep in mind this is a core 7… only…
Not very relevant, the core 9 is just slightly higher clocked with a slightly higher TDP rating. The core 7 is likely the better balanced choice with the better battery life.
Lunar Lake is disappointing. AMD is killing it for X86 needs. Mac users are happy with M3 and Qualcomm is offering a good ARM alternative on the Windows side. Intel just can't compete anymore.
Why didn't you show the AMD performance comparison for Davinci Resolve?
After 2 years, the CPU might be burned? Let me check who reviewed Intel 13 14 gen before.
is the trackpad a haptic touchpad or springboard type?
We? I'm never wrong, that was all you! 😂
This chip is overall preety good. One other use for this is due to it being x86, putting it on gaming laptops would significantly increase thier poor battery life.
Didn't compare to the 890m of the HX 370....
So what did he compare it to then? I thought the HX 370 had the 890m igpu, whereas the HX 365 uses 880m.
Can we still use Photoshop and Illustrator on this? I mean, it has integrated graphics.
Why are these speedometer 3.0 scores so low? I get 33 in Safari and 31 in Crome on my M1 Max
4x more RAM and 2x more storage for 100$ less... At this point even Silicon Valley start-up employees will start looting Apple Stores if inflation goes on
At 1500 USD, Apple offers more than what this machine offers. Should have been priced around 1000.
Yes only 8gb of ram and 512 of storage vs 32 and 1t. Are you blind ?
is it Intel or TSMC manufacturing?
I don’t trust this laptop, everyone seems to ignore any talks about the battery which obviously means it’s not good
I think the PC is in trouble when M4 MacBooks show up in a few weeks. They’re going to smash the benchmark again. But looking at it now, and just for what it is, really impressive that Intel
Is finally doing what Apple silicon on Mac started after four years.
Performance difference won't matter for the time being until at least some years to come
How well does the Asus laptop run Flight Simulator 2024?
So many iSheeps crying LMAO
Yes
And also some minority amd fanboy 🤣🤣🤣
This product’s low price is suspicious, I think intel is subsidizing Asus big-time to get this CPU out in the market.
@Garrus-w2hyup,they are all cppying greedy Apple,800 dollars is more than enough
A comparison of core ultra 1st gen and core ultra 2nd gen
The worst laptop I had in the past was the previous gen of Zenbook S. Beautiful and sleek, poor battery that after a year barely hold to watch a movie, an ssd so bad it was writing with 80MBps max after less than a year, sleep never worked and the admitedly 3K screen stared to delaminate the day after the warranty expired. The sound was also worse than my iPhone 4S
How about thermals, battery life, base ram?
32 gigs base Apple 8, but m4 will be 16.... apple base is 256 storage, while Asus is 1 TB. Looks pretty solid and cheaper, lighter, with Oled....what's not to like?
@@151mcxI seriously hope Apple has a base of 1tb for any MacBook Pro or why would you have pro in the name?
Also we are waiting for the Tandem OLED screens to come to the MacBook.
They are so slow. 😅
Now the competition is getting fierce let’s see what they do.
@@151mcx what's not to like is it runs Windows instead of Mac OS. Other than that, this is miles above what Apple gives, and gives it for LESS money than Mac.
I remember the days of updating drivers and my computers going to crap… No thanks!
Now rewrite of Windows OS is must.. old codes must go..
But the real question is, how wrong were they?
