    At 05:20 about the display, I am not sure how many of us here have that same display issue, but I found a way to solve it.
    In the AMD Radeon Setting, go to Display setting. There, turn off "Vari-Bright" which is automatically on by default and then turn on "Virtual Super Resolution" which is off by default.
    Also in the MyAsus setting, go to Hardware Settings. Then in the Splendid section, you can adjust the Screen Gamma and Color Temperature as it fits you most. I just choose "Eye Care - Level 02".
    Then all my problems are solved.
    Hope it can help you all as well if you all have that same problem with default display.

    Great review, very detailed. And luckily I was looking to buy this laptop, nice to come across your review.
    Can you also compare Zenbook Intel vs AMD, in terms of performance of games, daily apps (like chrome, Microsoft office apps, etc.), thermals, battery backup.
    Thanks in advance :D

    You seem a genuine guy but I have to disagree with you about the panel. This panel is excellent with great and accurate colour reproduction. I have tested the new XPS 13, HP Enny, HP Spectre, Acer Swift 5, Lenovo c740 and c940 and the Asus is one of the best. So, I do feel you're being unfair and misrepresenting the laptop. As for light bleed, it exists on most laptops and you only notice it when you switch your computer on.

    my old HP pavilion’s fan started going crazy and i had to place the laptop in the bathtub in fear it would catch on fire. Before that I was just used to it uninstalling the wifi ability, the microphone not working in online class, not being able to connect with apps and constantly lagging, and the very irritating loud as hell fan... So safe to say NOW that no matter how cheap I am it’s time to buy a new one as I’ve had this laptop for over 3 years.

  • @bluefox4902
    @bluefox4902 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Backlight bleed is just a fact of life with ips panels, it's something that happens in the manufactoring proces, and how bad it is on any given ips panel, is a roll of the dice. You might get a really bad panel, or you might get one with hardly any bleed through at all, you never know. So it's not a bad or cheap panel, its just the way ips is, atleast until they come up with a better way of making ips panels. You pay a price for those sweet viewing angles of ips, but not one most of us can't live with. If it's really bad, return it and get another, you might get lucky next time.

    I am hoping to buy this laptop in the next couple of days, Just last thoughts and would love to hear your thoughts on them (Did some research on my own) -
    1) Asus - TUF Gaming
    - Ryzen 5 4600H
    (better than Asus ZenBook 14 Ryzen 5 4500U?) @-- Your Thoughts?
    2) Asus - TUF Gaming
    - 512GB NVMe
    - RAM 16 GB
    with 3200MHz
    (6 Core /12 Thread) would be better than?? Asus ZenBook 14 - 512GB NVMe
    - RAM 8 GB
    with 3733MHz
    (6 Core/6 Thread) in any NON-Gaming activities? like Multiple Excel workbooks (10-12 opened) without any lag? @-- Your Thoughts?
    3) Even though I am more inclined to Asus ZenBook 14 Ryzen 5 4500U as it has WIFI 6 and better RAM Speed, but has less thread count and 5k more expensive than above mentioned Asus Tuf Gaming specs.
    My Whole purpose is for the work from home productivity along with video consumption, I am not much into the gamings but My preference is No Lag experience. Would love to hear from you. Thanks!

      @MAHESH-qe8cv 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bro 1st of all reconsider what u want ,
      1. Budget
      2. a gaming lap or an ultrabook.
      Then goes to all those stuff u have researched
      Personally I want a light weight lap which has enough horsepower for simulation and all
      For me mx 350 is more than enogh and the ryzen 7 4800u 's integrated graphics.
      So asus vivobook s14 ryzen 7 4800u , 1.4 kg
      Which costs 73k for 512 gb ssd and
      66k for 1tb hdd+256ssd

    • @MAHESH-qe8cv
      @MAHESH-qe8cv 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you want better display go for zenbook if u have budget.
      None of then wont lag btw
      Cpu must be ryzen 7 4000 series or i7 10gen G or u seires
      512 gb ssd nvme
      8gb ram
      Must be the norm

    • @kasshyapp4458
      @kasshyapp4458 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, I also wanted to consider the Asus Vivobook s14 ryzen 5 4500 U which is priced much cheaper but noticed few things -
      1) out of stock everywhere, and where it is even available it is selling 10-15k more than its MRP
      2) the RAM speed on this device is @2666 MHZ which might be slow in relatively multitasking many things. In ZenBook It is @3733 MHZ.

Or which one would you suggest out of these for media consumption. The important things for me are just the panel, speakers, portability and battery. i5 or ryzen 5 doesn't matter to me as i just need it for media consumption.

I've found a few websites that have this product and either don't list which panel or do something like newegg and show conflicting info (newegg states the panel is 250 nits but shows the 400 nits marketing material). Such a bummer because the low brightness is basically the only thing holding me back from this laptop right now. Its a ridiculous all around package yet is also undercutting every other competitor with the same general config by a couple hundred or more!
