As long as you fully disclose your relationship (you were paid but all opinions are your own, Asus did not review or approve the video before you uploaded it, etc), I have no issue with content like this. However, I do object to the term "sponsored review" as it's a contradiction in terms.
Yeah....hate this crap
Yes, it's sponsored content. Still more useful than some reviews I came across though!
9:32 That is because by default, the screen lowers the refresh rate to 60 hz when unplugged to save battery life and reverses this when plugged back in. I personally think this is a good trade off, but you can disable it if you don't like it.
Cameron. Thanks for sharing
I would like them to have an option where it goes to 90 Hz on battery personally. Maybe that can be added.
@@JustJoshTech No problem! Have a nice rest of the day! 😀
@@joeykeilholz925 It might not be possible with that panel. Many non LTPO panels cannot go dynamically like that.
@@JustJoshTech can you check if the screen still goes black for a while if the setting is disabled?
As always @JustJoshTech, your review was incisive and informative. You can even combine a few videos based on a theme like "Programming". I wouldn't mind watching a curated playlist of your content.
That's exactly what I'm planning to do going forward btw
I agree and for most in the Tech/Programming/Game Engine/Coding fields all those different programs are being used simultaneously for testing the code within the 3D environment. CAD/UE Editor/3DsMax/Python etc..and code compile.
I just purchased the smaller version of this, the Zenbook 14 Pro (UX6404) and agree with sentiments both bad and good. I don't use the dial at all, USB-C and Thunderbolt are limited to 100w which is a bummer considering Thunderbolt 4 is potentially capable of 240w, and you need to go into Asus' app to dim the screen below a threshold if you don't want PWM. I also did a clean install of Windows 11 Pro to get rid of the Adobe/Glide X/bloatware and get some Pro features. Having said this I freaking love this little laptop. Very snappy, takes a lot to get the fans going in my use cases, nice and light/compact, it only costs $1,800 for an i9-13000H/4060 and on my model the RAM and storage are upgradable so I purchased a 32GB SO-DIMM for $40 vs Apple's $400. Perfect for dual-4K monitor setup at the desk or working remote.
Zeenbook 16 is better?
6:28 Big credit to you Josh, I've seen many sponsored RUclipsrs giving misleading reviews, so it's very good for you to make it clear.
I just looked into this laptop because it does offer some things I am interested in. But for our Canadian market this thing, with slightly different configuration (1Tb SSD), starts at CAD $4500, so it is definitely more expensive than my M2 MAX with similar specifications, and that is before another whopping 13% of taxes, which makes this CAD $5k price range, which is insane for a laptop.
9:32 turn off "panel saver" in armoury crate to get rid of this effect.
When unplugged, the screen goes down to 60 hz in order to save battery.
Armoury crate is only available on Asus gaming laptops. But I believe zenbooks have something similar
Thanks for the balanced review Josh. I have several ASUS devices and in general they've been trouble free, but sometimes the innovations can be a nuisance. I've got a ZenBook S15 that uses the trackpad as a second screen, and in my experience the novelty wore off quickly so I turned it off. However, we've been using it for over 4 years (it's my wife's laptop now) and it has been completely reliable.
Nice review. The airport issue and turning dial would annoy me too much to get this laptop. However, I can see a lot of PC gamers would like it due to Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU and the 120hz refresh rate.
I looked into this a few weeks ago. I could be wrong. I dont remember the name of the chips but the chip its using isnt the type of chip you would need to get the full performance out the 4080. It would perform more like a 4060. I remember i looked up Geekbench scores and cinebench and it performed worse than a 4070. gaming laptop. So im pretty sure the 4080 is just marketing. I wish it could perform like a 4080 laptop. If it could i would get it.
It was great as usual even though it was sponsored by Asus, especially the cons part. Please review also Asus ZenBook pro 14 oled 2023.
The dial's location is great - I feel you picked on that due to a bias you already have regarding the need for a dial.
Asus seriously missed a trick with their selection of creator laptops; the StudioBook should've at least had an option for a 4080 gpu, while the ZenBook-with a 4080-needs a max ram of 64GB (not soldered).
Otherwise, good review overall. Keep it up 👍🏽
Hi Josh, I think the flickering is caused by changing the refresh rate. its maybe a power saving option.
The flickering is actually quite common on pwm screens
@@palashbhaumik42069 OP is taking about when you unplug or plug the laptop
Great review!! Would love to see a few game/graphics benchmarks but I get it’s a creator-focused machine. Also, people don’t understand the upfront cost it takes to purchase your own devices to review, so I think these types of disclosed yet still critical reviews are amazing. It allows for more information to be out there that may not have been otherwise, and more growth (and less debt) for you. Good stuff!
Also to the people complaining about the price of this thing, he’s very obviously comparing to the price of similar spec machines, which are all higher or have worse features. This thing has a nearly-full wattage 4080 in it at 160w!! That’s 70 more watts than they originally advertised. And more than Asus’ actual gaming-focused Zephyrus M16. And it’s $100 cheaper! With an OLED panel too. That’s just insane. Definitely waiting for that buy link cause I might have to pick this thing up!
True 👍 it's an expensive game. Next video I purchased quite a few
For the same config, it's retailing at $4800 USD in most of Asia
Solution: buy a ticket to the USA
Yeah I'd be shocked if this laptop actually retails for $2700 in the US. That might be the price of the 4070 version.
I think the screen goes black when you unplug it to change the refresh rate to conserve battery. 14x OLED does the same thing. It's actually pretty convenient and can be turned off in the Asus software. Definitely weirded me out at first too.
The screen turning off and on is due to the refresh rate switching between 60hz and 120hz ig.
The black flash when unplugging the laptop is the screen switching refresh rates. This is done to conserve battery life. You can turn it off if you don't like it
Waiting for the legion slim gen8 review would have been more relatable to more people than such niche products.... Would be my final review before pulling the trigger 😊.
Keep up the good work 👍
I have one. I am probably going to get that review out week after next
I order the Slim 7 Gen 8 maxed out, 2 weeks ago, super simple. I'm still waiting for it to come in, but after 25+ hours of research on every angle regarding laptops for creators and gaming, they seem to be the best by far. I can't be bothered with Asus' awful website, and their inability to stock retailers, or even their own website. Honestly, just go take a look and see if that's someone you want to purchase from vs Lenovo, etc. Asus' details are so mixed up and conflicting (click on notify me, or where to buy), the information they give is a mess for me personally and doesn't clearly explain when or where to get their hardware. Not really interested in buying from a company like that.
@@willfullyinformed Asus has crappy quality control , regardless of the product tier. I'm set on the slim 7 , but holding out for the AMD version for better thermals and battery life.
I have this laptop, it is excellent and can't really fault it. No laptop speakers are great, even the MBP 14/16 which are the best. This laptop has good speakers for a laptop with a little bass, not as bad as Josh says. A very nice keyboard too. Great performance and OK battery life. Games and does creator stuff like a beast and a lovely display!
Thanks for the honest review
Thanks Josh. Did you get your hands on Lenovo yoga/slim pro 9i yet? It's for creators as well and expecting it to be better overall. Some programming section using WSL/Dev mode on Windows 11 would be good to throw in as a unique view.
Yes I have it. It's in my upcoming videos. There is a programming laptop I like better
I just updated the programming sheet I have and upgraded the Zenbook 14x to buy
Good to know! Would await.
Have you tried the Zenbook Pro Duo? It seems really interesting for programming since I could put my error/terminal on the bottom screen and use the whole top one for just code
I just purchased this exact laptop. I could not find it with the highest cpu, gpu and ram anywhere for a couple days. I finally found one on amazon, and it was the last one they had. it cost 3,800+ dollars which it is compared to the MacBook Pro with M2 or M3 by now. Everything I have right now are Apple devices for several years. The reason I'm having to purchase this one is because I purchased a new commercial drone for my work and the software it takes to format is not compatible with Apple. :/. I ordered it because you helped me decide with your review. I know that Razer Blade and Alienware and MSI are outer but I just don't feel like paying over 5K for work. Thanks for your very informative reviews.
$2600 is a steal for this. No way. High end performance, 32gb Ram, 2TB storage, 4080, Oled screen 120hz, touch screen, build quality, lifting the keyboard. Insane value from Asus 😮
finally a descent Windows laptop! if you can overlook the heat issues for Windows laptops as always
Thanks for pointing out the cons, it really helped me a lot; now I think I am going to pass on this one, since they are deal-breakers to me.
Awesome review as always. This laptop seems okay and all, but the biggest problem with Asus is their atrocious website, details, and their stocking methods. Whatever they are doing, they are trying their absolute hardest to not stock these things properly with the above specs mentioned regardless of when it is available, and the details, verbiage etc. is always a mixed bag, correct in some areas of the website, wrong/dated in other areas. Everywhere you look you find the newer or the older version with mixed information, even the rarely stocked retailers. Basically, I wouldn't purchase from Asus, ever, because they can't even get their website or details correct/clear. They are a giant mess and it doesn't instill confidence in their business practices or quality. I think I'll stick with the Lenovo Legion series for the foreseeable future.
great video! I was shopping for a laptop under $999 and came across the asus zenbook 14.5 oled on bestbuy on sale for $749. It usually goes for $999 but is available now at a great price. Pls do make a video on the same. Thanks in advance :)
I wish it kept the same back design that the 14x had with the diagonal lines and all. Its not a dealbreaker, but that design is really something they could have expanded to their entire collection.
Asus (and many other laptop manufacturers) still cannot put one USB-C port on each side. Having charging-capable ports on both sides complicates wiring, but such an expensive laptop should get this done.
Great job Josh. But tell Asus we can’t find their laptops in the UK. Always with the notify me option.
That was an excellent review!
Josh, it is time for Zephyrus g14. People needs you =)
Again a perfect review. When does this beauty come to the stores🤔 My options, 1.ProArt Studiobook /2. Zenbook 16x /3. MacBook m2Max I use it for design, video editing and sometimes I play a game. What to do🤪🤔😅 Never thought I would consider a MacBook but Windows just still not there grrrrr
Acer scared me off. I thought that 2022 rog 14 was going to burn my house down. Predator with the 3070ti has been great.
Bro is mixing up Acer vs Asus
Hey Josh excellent review! Just wanted to know if you were notified by asus when this would be going on sale? I've seen some other computer stores offering it also for preorder but for exact same configuration charging upwards of 3300-3600$ on sites like adoroma and excalibur pc. Asus US website is only selling previous generation as of now. Thanks and again great review
Nice laptop, but no way this is only $2700? Are you sure that's not the price of the 4070 version? The 4080 version is retailing for $4200 in China right now.
Great review! Very fair and balanced. I've used last year's model and build quality is amazing, except that when closing, the keyboard hinges would visibly and audibly "pop" into place. Hopefully that issue has been fixed. Does the screen have the "screen door effect" that many OLED touchscreens have when viewing white or light backgrounds? **SOME NOTES: The $2599 model listed on the Asus website is actually the UX7602VI-DS96T with RTX 4070 and i9-13900h. The model with the RTX 4080 and custom i9-13905h is rumored to debut soon with a price tag of roughly $3400. As for the screen turning off when unplugged, that is said to be from switching from 120 Hz to 60 Hz refresh rate to save battery. The Asus ROG M16 exhibits the same behavior. Thank you
Sry but I think u got the wrong understanding of the "performance mode" which ur talking about when u pull out the Proart Creator Hub. The "Mode" is only adjust the fan speed, not the power for the CPU and GPU, if u want the full computing power u have to go to windows's power management to adjust it.
Nice review! Looks a lot better than XPS 17 for less money.
It appears Asus is having issues getting this particular model to market. Announced in January, sites are saying expected release in November (delayed from September ETA). Unless this is currently available through limited channels it may be dead on arrival if or when it does. With 14th Gen models and newer GPUs on the horizon, this is a major letdown. The RTX 4070 model is available in the $2600 range but lacks the Supernova SoM and faster RAM.
9:33 i have hp oled
that happens because some laptop only shows hdr when plugged in so when u remove power it goes from hdr to sdr or vise versa
at least that the case with my laptop
Thought i was going to get this but no idea why they decided to solder the ram in 🤦
2 memory and 2 nvme slots need to be standard for this size. HP and Dell do this even for 14" laptops 😞
I just wanna know why you aren't making reviews on Zenbook 14 or S 13 though, those are the ones I am most likely going to buy considering my budget and because I want a 6800U, 7735U or 7840U processor because those have good integrated graphics and they're hopefully gonna be less expensive than a lot of discrete gpu laptops. And I would love to see your review on that (or hear why you don't wanna do a review or why this laptop might not be worth buying).
The Zenbook 14X is in my video out next week in a big one. The 14 maybe later on
I would love to review more 7840U laptops. They are still abit hard to come by
All ZenBook 14 series use old Vega iGPU (for AMD versions), ZenBook X series offer optional Nvidia dGPU, and only the ZenBook S series use RNDA3 iGPU. Specifically the Radeon 780M model costs around ~$1,600 right now in several different countries.
Do you recommend a laptop with a oled screen for programming?
Would love to see your review of the newly redesigned super light Asus B9404.
How are brand still putting that tiny little arrow keys on workstation laptops? Why isn't anyone complaining? It's ridiculous, they are one of the most if not the most used keys in the keyboard while programing and working on spreadsheets.
In your Windows laptop reviews that include devices with 4050 or 4060 dedicated gpus you should be using Davinci Resolve in your reviews. Davinci takes advantage of the Nvidia hardware.
If it wasn't for the dedicated Nvidia cards I'd recommend Macbooks every time...but ...well...there are devices with dedicated GPUs that perform better than Apple silicon...and not just for gaming. And most can be had for under $2k with 32gb ram/1tb ssd and thunderbolt ports. Just a suggestion.
We have some news coming next week that will address this. The short answer is that we will be testing on Resolve as well as Premier from around September onwards!
Josh, I wouldn't call it a "sponsored" review. It is more like you are getting some extra support for doing what you already do full-time! :)
Thanks :) Its helpful ... especially what i'm about to announce on the channel next week
@@saipulivarthi Could you post a link with time stamp? If I'm not doing this properly I'd like to improve
@saipulivarthi Ah, actually, I was using a decent amount of force. It's surprisingly sturdy
I'd like to see a comparison between the Vivobook Pro and the Zenbook Pro.
As always, I love your reviews, Josh!
Choosing the right laptop is such a difficult task for me, and I keep bouncing nack and forth from a 14.5" form factor and a 16" one. This laptop just looks absolutely amazing! It literally has everything I could want. However, it is only available in the 4070 version where I live. Do you think that will be worth the money? Especially considering how the 4070 isn't really able to take advantage of any wattage above 100?
I'd love your two cents on the matter, and also on the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i, 14.5" with 4070 vs the Asus Zenbook 14 Pro OLED, also with 4070. And how do you think either of those laptops will compare to this one with thte 4070?
You will love our video out next week. It compares 9 high end laptops back to back. Those 2 you mentioned are in there. Please hang tight, it will be out soon
@@JustJoshTech that's absolutely amazing to hear, can't wait! 😍😍
How about the 4070 version of this particular machine? Any opinions? Or just an educated guess? 😊
Yoo, new video ❤
I've been having the same issue when plugging in or removing a charger, with an Asus g15
Another great and comprehensive review. It's just a shame the pricing in USD doesn't translate outside of the US. It's only configuration goes for $4,500 in Canada, making it a near impossible buy for most, despite the high level of performance.
Purchased this and certainly seems to fly in terms of render speed.
I think you are being tough as usual. A lot of the other reviews only glance over the dial and the numberpad on track pad feature without noticing the problems with it.
Hey man. Can you review the Dell G15 (2023) i7 RTX 4050 variant ?
This laptop cost 3500 eur or usd. How can be pros and cons in this laptop? It must be perfect according his price
Lenovo Yoga/Slim Pro 9i please, there's a shortage of real reviews on this laptop out there. Yours would be great
I have one. Week after next
It's ok for gaming?
Can you make a vidieo about Asus ZenBook 14 UX3402 i5/16/512 14" i am proberly going to buy it for school and i know you dont skip stuff when you give them a look, most out of all the battery and prosessor ;D
Josh, can you provide a link for purchase of this one please ?
Have you ever reviewed the Asus Flow x16
I think there’s nothing wrong with doing a sponsored look at a laptop and appreciate the fact that you give such a strong disclaimer, however I feel that calling it a “review” is toeing the line and would rather you call it something like “overview” instead.
2.600 Id think about, but living in Germany and seeing a price of >4.300€ ? No way :( thats a small car price not a laptop price
you didn't review this laptop as harsh as usual, for a good reason (the laptop is actually good so why we need to complain?). So i think it's good for you, go ahead 👍👍
Great video thanks Josh. I'm torn between this & the lenovo 9i pro.
Both are great. The Asus is more powerful but an odd design
@@JustJoshTech Thanks Josh. Can you recall which has the best sounding speakers? I need Windows for work so a Mac isn't an option.
@madcatter972 I'm pretty sure Slim Pro 9i has better speakers. I'm assuming you are talking 16inch. That's the one I'd get btw. Please use our links if you can!
@@JustJoshTech thanks Josh, yes I mean the 16 inch in both machines. I also really like the HP Zbook Studio but a similarly configured model is massively more expensive than these two. Besides only 1920x1200 models of the Zbook Studio are available in NZ. I think these machines are better value.
Does it support Linux?
Sir please can I get a laptop from you?
Any brand at all just want to use It for school project and to learn coding but don't have money to buy one.
Hey Josh, I'm a Computer Science student living here in the Philippines I badly need a laptop but I can't afford one, the living conditons here are tough right now. I'm just wondering if you have a spare laptop or if any of you here reading my comment have one, it doesn't need to have any high specs as long as its working it's fine. Sorry for the trouble I'm just doing whatever I can to survive. Thanks a lot.
Hey Josh I'm curious how League of legends runs on i7 13 gen U series against the P series both without dedicated GPUs?
Definitely playable on medium settings 1920 by 1080 60 fps solid. You can go a bit higher than that but its not overly reliable. It runs much better on an AMD or Mac integrated GPU
Asus Zenbook Pro 14 (UX6404) review please... 🙏🙏🙏
can you please review asus vivobook 14X oled?
Can you compare this laptop to Lenovo yoga slim pro 9i
is there room for upgrading the SSD?
Is this overkill for a student that does data science and related subjects??
My Asus laptop also had the issue of screen going after pulling the charger out but after an update its been fine, also the numpad has always been responsive even though I have a cheaper laptop than this one.
The screen flashing black when unplugged is it switching the refresh rate to 60 Hz to save battery. You can disable this behavior in the Asus control software.
There is a discrepancy between the cinebench multicore scores with the whisper mode at 2:49 and 2:59. Was this a mistake or did I miss something?
I am so so glad you posted this. We literally stopped the release of the video for 2 hours to re-test and verify the numbers and clarrify by updating the legend. Take a read of the legend and let me know if you think it now makes sense :)
Ah, one is a 10 run (either average or the last run) while the other is a single run. Sorry, didn’t notice the legend. With 11k for the 10-run, it’s as fast as a single-run ultra book so your statement stands true.
Thanks for the prompt reply and transparency!
@ImaadAnsari yep. We think alike. When I saw that graph I was like we need to re check and clarrify
Happy to see my guy get paid. I'll take the sponsorships that allow you to keep making reviews at all, of course given that you're providing your genuine thoughts. I have no doubt you would, as always. Again, congrats on the success here.
Thanks mate
Sorry I want to know about vivo book is that good?
Apple and Dell are truly out of their damn minds with pricing. I'm glad asus isn't pricing this like they do. The circle pad thing is niche at best, will have me selecting a different laptop because I don't want to look at it every day at worst. The keyboard layout needs to be completely reworked to make more sense. On a 16" laptop that is inexcusable. I'm not saying it needs a real numpad, just give me closer to TKL plz.
I have no idea why you are complaining about Apple and Dell when this ASUS machine in the UK is £3500 for an i9/4070/1TB/32GB? ASUS are not exactly cheap either, a sign of the times. I can get an M2 Pro MB Pro 16 with 32GB for less! The 16GB is £1000 less than the ASUS!!!
would like to buy this laptop for 35K INR. As you will not be using the laptop, please do let me know if you can sell it to me.
How does this differ from ZenBook pro 17
My G15 started screaming as soon as you started to talk about windows laptops' typical jet engine fan noise LOL
Is the elevation of the keyboard bad for your wrists?
I am not an expert in ergonomics, but i felt it was totally fine, and similar to the keyboard angle that some of my laptop stands provide. I have used those stands for years with no issue
What about Vivobook16X ?
i hate the asus website i can never figure out how to give them my money
Yeah something this pricy with ads is terrible.
Is there a 64 Go?
It's commendable Asus paid you, all while allowing you to be critical
Hey, what about a Framework laptop?, when?
I've done an extensive review on the current one that is available Intel 13th gen 13.5 inch display. The AMD 13.5inch and the 16inch I am getting in, but they are not available yet.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the other zenbooks like the budget one around 699 at best buy and the 14x pro.
I have that. It's on next week's video I believe
Enjoyed the review. It did seem fair and similar to your others. (Maybe you spoke faster? LOL) This laptop is not for me. Thank you for the review.
Is Asus a reliable brand ?
This thing is actually useless, when u put it next to an asus scar 16.
With a 4080 and a worse binned chip it's a bad deal (for 150 euros more in germany than the scar).
Even the Mini LED Screen on the Scar is better.
I think my next purchase will be another HP. Apple and Asus are expensive.
Mom not too proud of you swearing through out the house?
Thank you!
Keep being un-bias 😎
Error noppe id like me a moar beautiful i7 pls
