It's actually pretty exciting to see the direction laptops are headed - there's been such a massive improvement over the last few years alone, and with these new intel chips there seems to be real potential for even further development to benefit users :)
I just bought the 16gb ram/512gb storage version of this and it has a micro sd card slot. I am going to speak to the retailer as the fan is loud on a high cpu use app(like insta360 editing) and it gets really warm.
Great review - I love my OLED Asus Laptop. It has been reliable and great to use for the last year. I esp love upgrading the RAM to 40GB and the SSD to 2TB easily by just taking off the bottom cover!! I do not miss my macbook pro at all - in fact I felt so cheated by apple on the cost and memory but no more!
Thank you for the great review! I am really getting to like te laptop, but I am wondering whether it can run games like rocket league on 120hz (1080p minimum), and whether it has freesync (or simililar) functionality. I am also a bit worried on the sound it makes, as I read it can make quite some noise while cooling and such. Do you maybe have some thoughts on this? Thank you in advance😊
Thanks for this amazing review! Is it good for video editing? Currently looking for a laptop which is able to show good performance in DaVinci Resolve and was wondering if this machine could provide me with that
I like ASUS laptops. Mine ASUS Z13 2023 been stolen last months. I want to wait for new models. Like this Intel core update. Always bought Intel products, I need for productivity.
Great Video! Do you happen to be able to disclose whether the ram is upgradable down the line? and ssd as well? how does this compare to Lenovo's IdeaPad Slim 5i 14 which comes packed with the same processor?
The problem with the myasus app coloour gamut is I can't watch youtube in HDR because I need to turn windows 11 HDR on to access that but that means I can't use the myasus app colour profiles which is really annoying. Is there a way around this?
I really hate the fact that the price isn't anywhere on the website. I press the link and it is nowhere. Not on the website I Ctrl+f and searched up price, and nothing came up. I really hate that they hide it, I need to know whether it's even an option for me.
.. Is it though (spec for spec better)? Somehow I thought the M3 MacBook Pro has a better Geekbench score at least for multi core and probably better battery life. Screen and base RAM on this is surely better than a Mac though. I love that annoying life where I need a windows machine but also in the Mac system so I double up. An expensive problem but for now my Mac life is an iPad and windows life a surface pro that’s nice but battery life terrible.
@@Seanjones1990👍🏾. Out of interest which would you choose (M2 or this). No need to reply if busy. I like the last ability and battery life of Macs but need that windows for work / data analysis purposes. Very annoying! I think windows machine and iPad it is for me
@@RemofRenaissance ive had the m3 macbook pro :) for me it was the same as my m1 macbook air its just kind of boring more for work then play in my opinion cant force the fresh rate of the mini led display and its still leggy when it comes to response times so gaming was awful i would get this if i wanted that MacBook size with the possibly to play ANYGAME at least 30 fps (vs macbook only games or translating windows) for watching shows ect. youd be better off with the oled vs the mini led anyway but the speakers would no doubt be better on the macbook if thats what u prefer over oled visuals
Disappointed that you're not mentioning the issue with review samples of intel 14th gen laptops shipping with faster RAM than is even available to purchase with that laptop to try and boost their performance in reviews so they actually look decent.
@@cromemcos Memory speed isn't something adjusted with a setting, it is determined by the physical RAM modules in the PC. Some other reviews have shown the very minor improvements of the latest intel laptop CPUs over previous Gen, and this is including the increased RAM speed.
I have this model Just 1 issue so far, there is a know bug by Asus , in Win 11, the taskbar sometime is not showing or hiding properly. the IA noise canceling microphone its AWESOME, OLED wow ... GREAT laptop...
@@Adam-ul9px I never use battery, its always plugged, so i did a mini test: Its about ~2.5-3h watching Disney+ series: Chrome only, no other app running, OLED screen only, no external device or monitor... 80% to 20% drain (80% default max charge base on Asus settings). Its not near of what they say at ~11h... Maybe on low settings, But i am on performance mode, 50% Brightness, with IA active, etc...
Mmmmm, seems almost no effort on this review. At this point it seems Uncle spurt is bored and tired of this himself. There is no originality here, it's just a review for reviews sake. it's a clear D- could do better!
I have last years version and it's great. I used to use my $10,000 desktop all the time but I'm literally becoming a bed hog with this thing and no, it's not what you think. My husband is my pride and joy. It is an excellent notebook. 5 Stars.
The cpu benchmarks don't appear to be a significant bump over 13th Gen unless they can achieve those results with significantly less power draw and heat generation. The gpu number looks to be significant so perhaps they are counting on that to make the overall system experience feel more responsive. Likewise with introduction of a npu. Ultimately will this be significantly better ppw ( performance per wat ) especially when unplugged than amd zen 4c or qualcomm snapdragon x elite based offerings?
@@munaimma2569 Hey Muna!

i just returned mine. The chassis is finger print magnet, not a fan of blue either ( it looks plastic chassis) It has only 1 fan instead of 2. The screen is not that bright. Battery is meh. And the price in EU is bloody expensive €1400 for 16/512GB compared to $1399 32/1TB in the USA. 🤦🏻♂️ @asus

Damn, its crazy how much technology has advanced even in just 10 years
yeah
It has a screen, it has a keyboard, it's definitely a laptop.
Was that sarcastic
10 years? The last 5 years alone has been crazy how fast it has improved.
@@prebenjaeger no why?
Nice bit of kit, definitely going on my New Years wish list!
bro should just drop a gdrive link with all his wallpaper
content is always fresh, entertaining, and enjoyable. Well done- cheers!
You should hands on zenbook 14 oled flip its the same version as this but can become 2 in 1 laptop.
Best combination of laptops 👩💻
Looking forward to the new amd versions of these. At least we know amd don’t pay kickbacks to get their processors used

Do you have a video link or page on how to install more RAM and new SSD? Or is it easily accessible
@@senorbonbon Zenbook RAM is soldered. Only in ROG's you got one free (or occupied) slot for RAM upgrade.
using 40gb ram automatically means it works on single channel mode which reduces performance
yep but the old screen will be ruined after 1 or 2 years

These are test versions. The mass production ones are not released yet.
its gonna be around 1200 usd thats what dave 2d said in his video
$1299
If only it were available in 32gb...
Looks very sleek 😊
How would this enbook be for content creation? Editing in davinci. Light photo editing or design in illustrator.
I almost scrolled past your video because Meteor Lake isn't "14th Gen", I thought this was a video about RPL-R.

Watching from a Zenbook 14 OLED with Intel Core Ultra 9
How is it?
Will there be a Asus Zenbook 14X version of this laptop this year?!
Do you know if the Asus Zenbook Pro 14 Oled is going to be updated? I can't find it anymore...
How is the thermal on this?
Wish it was available to buy right now
I just can't remember its name, how is this device is called again?
that's a based wallpaper man

I think it's a production sample

What about Battery Life??
sir,where did you find these anime wallpaper.....
Thank you UNCLE SPURT/
This Intel or the AMD Ryzen 7 8840S ??? Intel costs 100€ more, but AMD will be available by April.
Of course no information on battery life either with that sponsored video. It must be underwhelming af.

as always you didn't suprise me. 8 minutes pure advertisement with no real review
hello I hope anyone can answer my question is this laptop good for engineering purposes like autocad and sketchup?
Fan noise? That's important
is a laptop review but does not review how long the battery life is. disappointed with your review process.
