Got a Macbook Air, found this online and returned the Mac the next day. 16 GB RAM/1TB storage with a Ryzen 7 for $90 cheaper than an 8 GB/256GB M2 MacBook Air. Plus you can dual boot and have more control over the system in general. Way better buy than the MacBook Air for my use case
How’s the battery life in real world, on paper it says it last up to 22hrs. ?
I was gonna get the MacBook air as well, but it's out of my budget for better specs.
The one I looked at is the same as yours.
I'm contemplating whether I should get this or not.
@@Cyberman86 I bought one months ago, I'll say like 6-8 hrs with 40% brightness
W. I been had the zenbook 13 Oled before this, and this is the upgraded version. Ima upgrade for the 90hz. And the 13 I have now is lighter than macbook air even. but this 14 inch is heavier tho, but is 14 inch..
Anyone knows the real world battery life results?
Good looking laptop. Right now I'm getting everything I need out of a Chromebook, but this is a great option if I want to trade up.
Where can I get the wallpaper from? I can't see the link for it
I bought this laptop like one week ago. And have some points for possible future users.
I have slightly better version with still R5 7530u but also 16gb RAM and 512 nvme. I would be REALLY careful with 8GB RAM version - it will be probably barely usable in near future with hungry windows and lets say chrome. (my old laptop had 8gb ram and just on internet use with firefox i had around 80% of RAM usage)
Also - OLED is great but there can be some issues with some kind of fonts in windows. For me its ok, but somebody it could find less ok. 90HZ should be smooth but for me i still can see very visible shutters or lags during scrolling windows setting - i mean what the heck.
Also - its very very noisy under load. After two days I literally had to switch fan setting to whisper mode and still i can hear it. Speakers are quite reasonable however dont expect something special (macbook still ftw). Display is also withtout antireflective layer so can be very tricky on direct lights.
Battery life - "up to 12 hours" yeah literally up to. In reality you will be quite happy for 8h in AVG with internet browsing.
7530u just is renamed older 5 gen AMD cpus - be careful also about that.
For me its not bad laptop however, basic macbook for me is more "whole" and completed product. This is complete example of today product they took great display and somehow build the rest around it. And you can see it and its quite frustrating. For example you will use this computer for a few minutes in a while you will hear fan noise quite a lot. Then trackpad isn´t particulary great either - its not bad, but also it is not bad. Speakers are normal. Display is very reflective, finger prints ARE REALLY EVERYWHERE (on the chase) etc. Also windows are quite pain (cleartype font on OLED displays generally, windows are really not so smooth even with OLED 90hz rate altough on my desktop with 75hz IPS it was much better).
Body is solid but RAM is not expandable and its soldered to the MB - thats a big ouch (!!) expect of NVME there is no possible upgrade for 8gb variants its almost no go. In these days 8gb RAM should not be sold. OLED also require some kind of threatment to this display properly or you can experience a burnout.
Please ASUS you can spend more time and finish your product a little bit more. Worst part is even these annoying things wouldn´t be so expesnive to fix it. If i wouldn´t need a windows I would buy basic M1 for daily workload.
Otherwise it can be quite nice piece of computer.
Thank you so much for this detailed review. I was thinking of selling my MBA M1 to buy this cos I just can't get used to using MacOS but this is preventing me from buying ASUS.
@@diktmalsexact same predicament ad myself. My macbook Air M1 build quality is really really good compared to most windows laptops. This zenbook is the only one im interested in because im still not used to MacOS. But after reading this comment, i might just want to still give macOS another few months before looking at this zenbook
Can i get the link for the wall paper
Would it it perform good for coding?? I'm starting school in the fall I'm majoring in MIS. I would also like to use it to stream on it from my console or what are some other recommendations. Thanks!!
Did you buy it or if you didn't what did you get, mine is arriving in 3 days so if it's good I will let you know
@@BLACK_JOhey, is it good ? Have practically the same tasks in mind - coding and streaming games from my PC via steam link
@fender8372 if you get the correct specs then it's a very capable and compact laptop don't expect it to play 3pl A games and if you do a LOT of coding expect to have to ether bring the charging cable or have a good USB c adapter at hand because the battery life isn't class leading(if you get the Intel version, but if you get the Ryzen version you will be sacrificing a lot of power for better battery life so that's that), I have an anker 737 charger and a supported cable and so I don't have to carry around the 90 watt charger around so that does the trick, but for every thing else for build quality to the amazing screen it's really amazing.
NT ) sometimes the fans can get relatively loud on the highest settings but for coding or browsing the web or even some low 3d rendering it should do the job on the whisper fan settings if plugged in.
Hope this helped, have a great day.
@@BLACK_JO thanks for a detailed answer, have a great one too !
Where"s the wallpaper link?
Wallpaper link please
What about the temperature? I don't like noisy laptops and I'm worried that the fan is active all day.
I have a ryzen 7 4000 series and the fan hardly ever comes on.
Yes the fan noise is there when I am gaming. It gets hot as soon as it is on
@@aliciasam5239 yea same on my 13 zenbook. But only hot when gaming for most part. Valorant plays good for me tho, moderate temps on table...
@@02blunt85 I have tried cloud gaming and have over watch 2. They run smooth, wouldn’t say modern temp but l can feel the vents working whilst playing so it stays fine. Do you use controller or a mouse?
Is it good for a graphic design student? I don't have much knowledge about laptops 😭 and I'm not looking for something very expensive either.
no, it has to have a better gpu
@@swetloace6870Could you recommend some good budget laptops for graphic designers please?
Does photoshop work well on this?
I prefer this to mac. I just love using windows
New to the channel and I was literally just googling cheap and reliable laptops boom I come across this in my recommended, google is doing their ish again. 😂
Does it come in a rosegold colour?
Lol that is your usp?
@@psy8917 well the 13 inch previous version of this laptop came in Navy, White, Green, and Pink only...
Your link isn't working properly. I hope it gets fixed.
Fixed
why is everybody thinking macbooks are THE laptops and all others are alternatives. thats just DUMB. many win laptops offer a far higher performence upgradable ssd, ram and touchscreens with stylus input.
This thing costs 1500 bucks in europe how?
There are many versions of this laptop
I don’t know why but everything is cheaper in the US (at least computer wise
Ikr it’s rigged, in Canada it’s basically the same price at the MacBook Air
Great video Sir !
Please help me in picking up the best between Asus Zenbook -S 13 or Asus Zenbook 14 OLED ??
I wouldn't call an under $1K laptop budget lol but it is a very nice laptop!
I thought there same thing. That's like a mid/high end windows comp. Even for a Mac that's not a budget. Just the cheapest they sell.
Mid to high end windows laptops start at $1,500. this starts at $699
@@BooredAtWork I hear that but I feel like the word budget these days is more in the range of below $500. Like a nicer way of saying "cheap"
@@ragingsilver I disagree, budget has to cover both price and performance. Not just be under $500.
Not our fault you're broke lol
I got it for 999 canadian , i just wanted the OLED
How's the battery life? OLED tend to drain it more
macbook air with it minimalist design and you need lots of third party dongle , Asus all ports included 😂
❤❤❤
Would you pick up the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED?
