I'm stoked for the Z13 tablet and G14.
I HOPE THE PRICE ISN"T STUPID.
Wasn't the starting price for the Z13 is $1900, from their ROG CES stream? 💀
G14 Classified
No pen support on the Z13?
I have a feeling the price for the Z13 will be pretty stupid
yo dave, ignoring the price, how does the blade 14 compare to the G14?
I bought the g14 last year following your advice and it’s the best pc I’ve ever owned. It’s solid, sleek, beautiful and doesn’t scream HEY I’M A GAMER. I love that it has no rgb. Thx man
Yeah that’s why I bought it. I wanted a gaming laptop with a more professional design. I’ve had a few issues here and there with it but overall it’s been fantastic for me. It has been a bit annoying having now webcam but I knew that when I bought it, and I use ASUS software to use my phone as a webcam which is far better quality anyway.
Same here 👍
Is it still worth buying?
well it does have rgb. the matrix on the back of the laptop has white leds, which r made from combining rgb lights actually.
@@Drenwickification hey what software is this??
It's crazy how Asus's G series becomes SIGNIFICANTLY better with every single year.

YA TRUE IM A G14 2021 USER
@@sheikhsameerahmed4394 Same with me lmao :))))
Same here! 2020 user and I love it, but gonna admit I'm kinda jealous for that sweet 16:10 display in the 2022. 😅
Agreed! My G14 from 2020 is still my favorite laptop I've ever used.
G14 2020 seems ancient compared to 2022 model. I remember being blown away by G14. It was the laptop of the year.
Absolutely love my g14 I have. It's the original one you recommended. One thing I wish I could get for it is an external GPU to make it a dedicated gaming station for VR.
Does the razor external GPU work with it?
Lmao Paul, you are becoming the next mo bro all the different genres of vids I see you pop up in.
I had the og g14 and loved it, but the screen went wonky last year. Glad I took so long to take it into the store for a replacment after seeing this, hoping the new 1 drops Feb so I can get that. Tbf tho, I live in fkn Aus lol if it drops Feb over there that means march here 😭
@@danielmorgan869 razer Egpu requires thunderbolt usb c which g14 doesnt have (it has regular usb c). Theoretically the asus tablet could be be paired with a razer egpu since it does has thunderbolt 4 usb c, the usb thunderbolt port is exclusive to intel processors.
I wonder if you can get the xmg mobile 3080 to connect to other asus devices like the g14
i am also convinced by the g14, but it doesnt have a lan port. why does asus do this?
Dave, I've been watching your channel for many years now and you definitely make the best laptop videos out there. Thanks for what you do!
I picked up a Clevo back in 2016 after a few twitter exchanges with you back then and it's still going strong 😄
probably time for some new thermal paste

lol what a stupid reason
@@privileguan9127 ^.^
what are u ordering
I have been watching you for YEARS on a crappy old macbook and was too poor to afford an actual gaming laptop. I finally worked hard and got one and I am so happy to watch you in 1440p :D
I got last year's Duo and it has been amazing, the gap between the screens is not terrible but I would have loved to have that sliding second screen. Great for workflow

Just watched the LTT video on these laptops/tablet. Dave's video was much more polished and onto the point in short amount of time. Thank you!
@Carlos M That is the short circuit format. LTT then does the deep dive with benchmarks when the embargo lifts.
@@smithydll agreed they’re both different styles
Linus said they weren't allowed to game on it. Dave sure did lol
Love eaves style. Can’t stand Linus
Well Dave is better on smartphones and laptops than LTT so that make Sense
I ended up getting the M16, and was hoping for a review from you this year.
I have the a15 (4800h 1660ti) and it has great performance and thermals. I like that the cooling fans both come out with 2-3 screws for easy cleaning or replacement.
Consumers: How many upgrades can you add to (already) one of the best laptops on the market?
ASUS G14 Engineers: *YES!*
Real life consumers: Finally got the high end laptop!
Asus (6 months later): Now buy a new one.
@@privileguan9127 Haha agree. This year's G14 makes the 2021 model look 5 year old obsolete machine.
@@privileguan9127 Real life consumers from 2021: Finally got the high end laptop!
Asus: Say hello to our 1 kg tablet that crushes your previous year high-end laptop.
YEEESSS
That's the tech world. Every thing is always being beat by the new thing its impossible to keep up
I am so looking forward to hearing more about the Duo 16, i totally forgot there'd be a new one this year and it still looks awesome
Been thinking of switching from Desktop to a gaming laptop, this video is hugely helpful thank you Dave
I use the 2021 G14, and it is an amazing laptop. Asus really knows what the hell they're doing.
What is a minecraft youtuber doing here
What's the model number?
The 3060 and 3050ti models were so ridiculously overpriced here by retailers because of the demand but it's still a good laptop nonetheless
Ouch, buyer's remorse
why not G15? just curios. whats the different?
“Hell no, dude…. I’m a gamer….” Love that emotion…. :)
Looked for this exact comment.
@@RyanT_1524 which one?
Brother I swear you are a God send when it comes to helping new time gaming info you are the best you helped me out last year find a couple of amazing choices and I know you are appreciated so now I'm looking for something for myself I'm a truck driver who games but sometimes it's hard to carry a monitor and a series s around trying to get a spot to set up,so this march I'm going to get my 1st laptop and I have some great ideas thanks to you, keep up the amazing work.. thanks again😃👍
Can't wait for the Rog Zephyrus Dou 16 review!!! I'm checking your channel everyday!
i did LOVE it! this couldn't have come at a better time since I'm going to purchase my first gaming laptop this year and honestly all of those looked fantastic even the tablet and the F15! I think I'm leaning towards the '22 G15 since I really wanted last year's model but couldn't afford it then
Man, Asus is killing it. Keeps innovating every single year.
Yeah, me who bought the tuf a15 2020 edition is crying right now looking at the thermal and mux switch improvements😭😭😭😭
Throttle down the last year laptop performance
@@sefultau1 liquid metal in mass production. Ergo lift to improve thermals and ergonomics. Touchpad with numpad. Second screens with Zenbook Duo, Pro Duo and Zephyrus Duo. DialPad. eGPU connection for the X13 and Z14 Flow, that has more bandwidth than thunderbolt. Mothership and Z14 tablet's like with improved thermals. The new 17" folded laptop. G14, creating the first small and portable but still powerful laptop for gaming, which is now followed for the rest of the companies.
If Asus is not innovating...apart from Microsoft with the Surface family, rest of the companies take much less risks.
@@sefultau1 do u mean to say asus is not innovating in the laptop market? They released dual screen laptops, 14 inch laptops, chonky boi laptops, and some really good budget gaming laptops, heck even gaming tablets and the xg mobile. in my opinion they are going to give a tough competition to the current laptop king(lenovo) this year
@@sefultau1 also the 105watt gpu was put into the zephyrus which is a 14invh laptop, and yeah it is innovative that they were able to fit a 105watt gpu in a small chasis, thanks to vapor chamber technology
I appreciate how genuinely enthusiastic and excited you always are about new laptops. Keep it going!
I just got a new Zephyrus S17 with the 3070. It is phenomenal! Undervolting and overclocking is a breeze, and the thermals are pretty amazing for a laptop. Performance is beastly.
I love how Asus made the G14 and it made more laptop makers realise "holy crap, people want a powerful 14" laptop!" so now we have the Alienware 14, Razer Blade 14 and the Acer Triton (no idea if thats getting updated this year) that have insane specs in a tiny package. My bet is the G14 is going to be the most popular one this year. The only way that G14 would be perfect for me would be if it had touchscreen.
To be fair the Razer Blade was 14” from 2013 to 2016 if I remember right. The bezels were large though so it was about the same size as today’s 15” bezelless laptops. My 2015 Blade had the best screen Ive ever seen on a laptop to this day though.
It was only a few years ago the best gpu you could get in a 14inch laptop was the mx150. Now we’re up 80+ watts on the gpu alone. So incredible.
exactly!! i hate having a large screen, it automatically makes the laptop way bulkier imho
@@adamek9750 To be fair to historical accuracy, both Clevo and Alienware were putting out 13-14" gaming laptops with real full-bore Nvidia GPUs as far back as 2011.
@@killerra but Asus did it right no? with a light weight body and great specs for a good/decent price
I hope the G14 retail units come with that vapor chamber design. The user experience from adding storage or doing minor upgrades would definitely feel more satisfying when you open the chassis and find out it had such a cool design. No pun intended.
i have the dash f-15 had it for 7 months now and it still runs games like a champ even with the 4 core cpu.
Nice systems. I’m still running the ASUS ROG Scar Strix 17 I’ve had for a couple of years with 32gb Ram/8GbNvidia/NVM-OS and 1Tb SSD. Still too sweet to let go of and right now rocking it on a Samsung Odyssey NEO 49”.
Lol I'm still using my Asus jz750 need to upgrade for sure
G14 (2020) user here, and I'm super excited for this year's model! Definitely considering the upgrade for that better screen and the AMD advantage!
I'm in the same situation haha 😂 I think I'll wait another year or so, I can think of a few ways as to how they could improve on this model.
@@-Chicken_ Imagine thinking that a laptop that costs under $2,000-$2,500 = being rich.
😂😂😂
Change your poor negative mentality or you'll be broke until the day you die.
@@-Chicken_ No one is judging you.
All I said was to change your poor negative mentality or else you'll be broke until the day you die. Buying one or more of these laptops DOESN'T = being rich. 😂
That's not judging. That's a fact.
If you are born poor. It's not your fault. If you die poor. It IS your fault.
Everyone has the same 24 hours each day.
P.s. The average rich person wouldn't even buy a laptop at these prices. They view money differently and would rather invest their money instead of wasting it on a high-end laptop that depreciates in value over time.
@@-Chicken_ You can still learn while you're on the sidelines unable to work.
Knowledge is power.
You have Google and RUclips at your disposal to learn how to invest money.
The 99% work for money.
The 1% make their money work for them.
@@-Chicken_ That's great. You should also learn Microsoft Excel.
Very useful. 👍😎
One thing I’d have liked for the nee g14 is an additional m.2 slot. However I have the last version and really love it overall.
Looks really good indeed! I would do anything for a Flow Z16 or similar though, 13-inch is just too small for me.
I recently got the M16 this past december and I absolutely love it! It is especially nice after having the same macbook air for 10 years :/
I really love what Asus is doing…I switched from Razer last year to the M16 and I am really happy. I can see how Dave is a fan.
I love my m16 but the fans get super loud in turbo or performance mode. Have you found a way to get the dedicated gpu to come online but not at full clock? Maybe it would be quieter? I can't seem to find one. In silent mode it uses the i9 graphics.
@@Bailey_54R You can set up a manual profile in armory crate. You can determind the fanspeed and clockspeed and save it as your default profile. I've eundervolted mine to get good battery life -- seeing about 6.5 hours on medium brightness, so it's on par with the AMD driven G15. I love my m16, although I'm sending it to Asus because of improperly applied paint. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long.
Does anyone know of a company that does keyboard stickers that don't hide the RGB backlighting?

Just received my strix g15 with the 3070 and a ryzen 9 5900hx, I’m thoroughly impressed! You and many others highly recommend it and the attention was well deserved comfortably runs beamng at 60fps ultra settings and I can barely hear the fans
From where u have got this laptop?
Awesome lineup this year I just wish budget laptops like F15 and A15 too had a 16:10 display!
Metal TIM, vapor chamber and improved fan designs have really allowed for amazing laptop designs these last couple of years.
Bought the 2021 G15 when Best Buy ran their sale on it. Stunning laptop and got it for an amazing price.
Just bought the flow z14 so excited for when it gets here!
2:44 Wow, that CPU and GPU schematic for representation purposes looks pretty neat!
Hey Dave, really looking forward to this year's gaming laptops lineup as I'm planning on finally getting one. Would be appreciated if you could mention HDMI 2.1 output capability in your upcoming reviews please! I want it to be fully compatible with my HDMI 2.1 TV.
Strix Scar AMD models are also available, great for a comparison between at least two of the top model for ROG
Love the background, great review!
X13 is going to be my machine for the year. Tablet, laptop, and desktop, all covered in a single device
Z13 and X13
Some reviews are showing the z13 to have a wonky keyboard. I can’t live with a terrible typing experience. I’m leaning towards the 2022 x13. Watching movies in tablet mode is probably more stable in bed on the x13 anyway
@@chrischiu782 Those reviewers are probably pushing on it with force or doing a side wobble test, which nobody does with normal typing.
@@chrischiu782 you're doing it wrong man.. i have the X13 myself, but if talking about watching movies and everything else in bed, nothing beats a tablet with a lazy tablet arm... am only found out about it just recently myself
@@Salsajaman seems like regular pressure to me when the gentleman was typing
It was only a few years ago (2015/2016) that laptops were so far behind desktops, it was no competition, but now laptops are so good, they're a full replacement for a desktop, even to the point where you can host an entire livestream and game on them at the same time. It's crazy how quickly laptops advanced.
your statement only applies to moderate gamers and thats it. As soon as you start caring about quality you'd need a lot more power, and lets not even talk about productivity workloads. Mobile GPU's are FAR behind desktop GPUs. (You're literally talking a minimum of 200 watts difference)
@@untitled795 define moderate gamers. cause honestly anyone who isnt a big time streamer would find much more monetary value in a laptop. they're cheaper, and you can move your setups much more easily. desktops are still better for the high end setups. but if you're not planning on spending 5-10k on a setup. there is no reason to choose a desktop over a laptop.
@@bread6235 i think I define it as anyone who is willing to not play on high settings. I’m sure there’s laptops that can do high or ultra settings on most recent games now though.
@@untitled795 well those types of players usually get consoles. up until recently my laptop had a 1660ti and i could pretty much run high, maybe ultra on settings on any game and get 60fps+ steady. but those who don’t care about laptop thickness can get a beefy laptop with high end specs for $1000.
@@bread6235 funny, I can barely play ultra on my 3080.
SHEEEEESH! I haven’t been this excited for a laptop in awhile! Great line up for 2022!
I absolutely enjoy ur videos Dave even though I'm never in the market of laptops 😁
I got the G14 2020 (1st gen) and it still meet my graphics design needs! Serves as my desktop replacement at work - great decision!
ASUS is probably my favorite laptop manufacturer at the moment. They're making bangers after bangers.
Asus AND Lenovo are the shining stars of last 2 years.
Dell has to learn to fix that track pad issue. And they also have to learn that they are not Apple. No headphone jack? Seriously? You can fit a whole hifi dac system on a laptop.
And lenovo
In Asus we trust, in Asus we believe 🙏
@@mehmetgurdal If the Vivo X5 Max can fit a headphone jack, then there's ZERO excuse for ANY laptop not to have a headphone jack. 😂😂😂

Well laptop market is not like smartphone market. Dell WILL suffer from their decision on that model.
Dave, I’m new to your channel, but I did just scroll through your entire video history looking for a video on that incredibly beautiful space this video was shot in…
Have you made a video that showcases that gorgeous space?
If not, can you please make one??
Thank you in advance for your time,
Escher
I would love to see a review of some of their thin and lights. I’m really excited about the zenbook oled 14x space edition. Dddr 5, i9 gen 12, and a super nice oled 2k screen
absolutely love Asus' innovative approach, had an N46JV many years back, it had amazing speakers. A few months ago got the 2021 G14, I think I'm a customer for life.
I'm curious how compatible are those machines with Linux, in terms of sensors and other proprietary hardware. :) ASUS has done some efforts in this regard, but more would be better. It's worth spending money on hardware that is properly supported by the manufacturer.
I'm so excited for the Zephyrus Duo 16 and also the Flow Z13 looks insane. But I would really like to know if it has pen support and also they fixed the problems with the external graphics XG Mobile. 2022 seems to be a great year for technology. I'm looking forward to change my Zephyrus G15 2021 for that Duo 16.
I have a 2020 A15 and man it's one hell of a machine when it comes to performance!🙂
As always, high quality stuff from Dave. Shoutout to ASUS for not making the same boring laptop every year!
hes got more gadgets than batman
I want that Z14! I know it's going to be out my price range though!!! I'm thinking top end will near 3k+
7:17. That rainbow window is wicked! It's so 'money'.
Thanks for the reviews :)
Really looking forward for the G14
9:16 Dave's voice range is 🔥.
Been a subscriber to you for a longtime, sincerely loved the comedic punch line. Bring more of those
Love the keyboard lift. All laptops should do this.
G14 is looking closer to perfect for me. Loving the updates
yeah is it my dream laptop !
Most likely will be getting the Zephyrus g14 :D
Can't wait. I did well to wait another year, even though the last 2 years had great models.
Super hyped.
Asus has been making some really cool stuff lately, I have a 2021 g14 and I couldn't be happier tbh, and the 2022 version seems to have some great new upgrades too, they are making unique products which have useful features instead of gimmicks, like the g14 is insanely light for a gaming laptop and has great battery life, the display could have been brighter but I'm still very satisfied with the display overall(I have the 1440p 120hz model) the build feels great, I absolutely love the keyboard, the trackpad is great for a windows laptop(but still not as good as the macbooks) the biggest annoyance I have is that it doesn't have a webcam(the 2022 version has a webcam tho D:) , and it's not even the fact that I use my laptop's webcam very often or something, but it's about it BEING THERE, like when a rare situation occurs and you DO NEED IT, it's not there which doesn't happen a lot with me(hardly happened less than 5 times in like the past 6 months) but when that does happen it's really inconvenient and you'll be forced to use your phone instead which is a huge bummer, especially for video calls(ik that u can use your phone as a webcam and I have tried that but it seems like a hassle to set up, and then u need something to set your phone on, and have to make sure they both have a good connection etc.
but as far as I know, no other gaming laptop is this light and portable and has this good of a battery life and as I'm a college student, these 2 were my main priorities
Is the laptop still good? I'm planning on getting the 2022 version soon, and I'm thinking of getting that laptop for school reasons too, but I also want to know if the temps get really hot , I've watched videos but i want more detail, does it get too hot to touch the keyboard? Are the fans annoyingly loud, and please tell me your specs too. Thanks a lot man, oh and also is the 14 inch a little too small or good?
Fantastic info I am looking forward to the ASUS laptops with a reasonable price. I hope!
Z13 tablet looks amazing hope they make like a magic keyboard/surfacebook like attachment so it be easier to use on the lap.
Dave…man, I hope ASUS is throwing money your way, coz their laptop sales will be increasing in 2022 because of you. I now want to get either the tablet or G14 just from watching this video and I don’t even need a laptop.
I advise folks who currently own an iPad to consider getting the Asus tablet and use it with a Luna display dongle and app, you can have a dual touch screen display PC that’s super light to carry around.
That little skit he did for the tablet at 9:10 killed me
@@FHNC4Ever That part was hilarious. 😂😂😂
The first thing I would do with that z13 if I were to use it in a professional environment is turn off the RGB, and maybe put a sticker over the window and colorful parts on the back (depending on how it looks).
I have the Alienware M17, really pretty laptop. This is totally on par looks wise. I love how the screen lifts the laptop for better cooling and a nice incline too. Really nice touch.
I really like that you showed the inside, but a more close up look for each of them and especially on how the fan can be detached would've been perfect. I had a macbook pro pre2010 models before they have the apple custom screws and they were by far the easiest laptop to maintain, the casing comes off with 6 screws and the fans are directly accessible after. Many years later, I got an rog and it was so much more difficult, had to remove cd drive screen and keyboard which 2 short ribbon connection and then somemore before you can access the fan. Perso ally I feel fan maintenance is the single component that can increase the longevity of your laptop. So I thoroughly regretted that rog even though it was cheaper, while I was able to clean it, I dont do it often enough because of the risks each time I have to do it.
Now looking at this video I'm glad most of the rog has a single panel cover that gets u access to the fan so easily like the macbook pro. I wonder if the macbook pro fans now are still easily accessible aside from the screws.
These are all very nice and tempting but gonna have to stick with my 2020 Strix Scar 15, still an expensive beast, and I can't afford to upgrade that often 😔
Don't have to upgrade that often as long as it does what it needs to do you're good
You're better looking to 2023 and the Nvidia RTX 40 series. That's what I'm doing. The rumors are of 2x a performance increase and my laptop will hold up until then just fine.
No need to upgrade that often man. Wait. 4000 series cards or 5000 series cards.
something i would love to see on a laptop is a physical switch which disconnects battery when charger is plugged in. i work 10 hours everyday on a laptop so just plugging in all the time might damage battery and also recharging again and again might have impact. So when charger is connected, it can play like a desktop
If your laptop has a battery charge limit (60% or 80%) it will work in this way. Dell, Lenovo and ASUS laptops for example have this. The laptop runs of the mains when it reaches the charge limit
Gaming laptop batteries are already designed to function this way by default. The battery is bypassed whenever the charger is connected, minimizing usage and wear.
@@crazyforiegner2 okay, yes but no. it might help but i used to have dummy battery for my previous laptop back then since it was like docked all the time, but when i need it to work outside, i can just slide the real battery. i hope this is a thing.
@@alexamderhamiltom5238 might as well just leave your laptop at 100% all the time instead?
@@crazyforiegner2 my laptop right now have unremoveable battery with 60% limit. no, i mean if i have no battery i can damage no battery, my previous setup had 3 batteries (2 for mobility + 1 dummy battery).
i docked it for like 12 hours a day, if i constantly put electricity into 100% battery it will just doom the battery, that's why i used dummy battery.
I have a 2019 ASUS ROG STRIX Hero III with the i7 9750H and RTX 2070 (115W). I'm tempted to splurge for a 3080 Ti laptop, but at this point, it makes more sense to wait for 40-series laptops next year. A lot to look forward to!
So, I bought a 2021 G14 just after Christmas. Loved it, but wished very specifically that it had a webcam and a 16x10 aspect ratio. And then they announced THIS. So yeah, returned it and eagerly awaiting the new king of laptops. (Although I'm a little annoyed that they lost the print screen key again.)
I love Asus. Rocking 2020 g14.hoping I held off that webcam was so needed. And the 16x10 is *chefs kiss*
Got my G15 3070 last year and its amazing. Runs any AAA game in 80-90 fps, looks good, sound good, best laptop overall. My very first laptop was ASUS and they still got everything right.
Except for the webcam xD
@@oussamazatout4115 tbh I think I'd rather just get a better external webcam. This is coming someone who got the Legion 5 pro last year. I always have that turned off and the fact that it's 720p is ridiculous.
Another hardcore Asus fan here. 🙋🏻♀️ I've been using my Asus notebook for 10 years now. Bought Asus ROG Strix 1660Ti for my younger brother about an year ago, and now I'm planning to buy the G14/15 for myself.
Asus is definitely the best laptop brand.
hello, how loud is the fan?
@@lileenleen i wouldnt say its very load, but i would recommend to game in headphones. browsing and working on silent mode is very quite
Glad they added a webcam this year ! Still love my 2021 G15!
Bought the M16 Zephrus with intel CPU and NVDA Gpu was on sell during the holidays.. love that dam thing
That tablet is huge for me. For me, in my laptop, I always value CPU Multithreaded performance more than any other metric. To get nearly 14 cores (Okay, 6 big, 8 small I get it but still), is such a big deal in a small package. And to have the versatility of the GPU plugin is great.
what do you do with it tho ?
With a 40w gpu. 🙄
Asus is simply the best when it comes to laptops. I've had my Asus laptop for 7 years, upgraded it to an SSD, had to fix the screen on it once because it broke. Still use it today and it works great. It's age is definitely present but I dont have plans on replacing it soon. Just a good ole Asus.
Asus has always had that reputation. You will be leaving this life on earth and it would still be working.
@@pleinclosens8304 I agree with that. Asus just easily wins when it comes to laptops.
@@pewcfpv8056 I heard somewhere that one of their philosophies is to have the quality of a toshiba or ibm/lenovo but at the right price and not too expensive
Anything planned for the new M16 with the 3080 TI. I just love that it has the same body size as the G15 but a 16 inch screen. It looks like they tried to improve on the issues people pointed out with the 2021 M16 (i.e. battery and limited to a 3070).
It's so awesome that asus has given infrared webcam.. Now Windows Hello Face id will work, and no worries about video conference during working hours.. fingerprint biometrics also should have given for more convenience in biometric entry and to secure the lap
I have a theory on how they can increase GPU wattage without really changing their cooling solution. It could be that the new AMD 6000 processors are more efficient than last year so that they need less cooling and the GPU can be cooled more effectively.
@Pietro Figura If the AMD CPUs are more efficient, then both AMD and Nvidia GPUs can draw more power, how is that invalid?
maybe? but they're still rated as 35W and 45W chips though? we'll have to see. it is supposed to be a slightly more energy efficient 6nm architecture with ryzen 6000
@@Dave2D I think Intel may have the performance crown this generation, but AMD is focusing on efficiency. I come to that conclusion because AMD talked extensively about the efficiency of the Ryzen 6000 series in their CES presentation, Intel, however, has only mentioned the performance increase. Because AMD knew they wouldn't win in performance, they made the chips even more efficient and instead do not directly compete with Intel but have their own market.
@Pietro Figura No problem. Paired with an AMD GPU, they might be even more efficient, but for that we will have to wait and see the reviews.
Could be just a better thermal paste
“HELL NO DUDE. I’M A GAMER!” I love you Dave :)
I bought the G15 last year, and it is a wonderful laptop.
Bought my G14 based on your videos and seeing that it's now getting a camera I feel like I might just be buying G14s for the next years :)
I am beyond glad that Intel is now back at it, making big improvements with their CPUs. This just gives Laptop OEMS waaaaaay more options to design cool products!
big floppa agrees with the changes
The tablet looks really cool, but I think they shouldn't have put an i9 in it. I k ow they are no benchmarks yet, but I think that thing is going to mess things up. Battery life and overheating might be an issue on it. A Ryzen 6900HS would serve much better in my opinion.
Asus has pretty awesome thermal performance across all their 2021 models. I do prefer Ryzen CPUs over Intel though. On a one to one basis Ryzen just performs better with Smart Access Memory.
is it gonna be a 12th gen i9? if so thermals might not be a problem
@@finthetrashcan yes, Intel's new stuff is much better than before, but it's still more power hungry. I think a tablet like this shouldn't go for maximum processing power, it's a tablet, so battery and efficiency should be ahead of that. It's only paired with a 3050 anyway. BTW, it would be fine if the i9 is a choice, but you should also be able to choose a ryzen 6000 is what I'm saying. It would make it much more affordable, and efficient, and those chips are still beasts.
It needs thunderbolt though, if it didn't have thunderbolt you would not be able to connect to an egpu. With this laptop having a powerful cpu and a 4gb gpu, that gpu is definitely a bottleneck. They even advertise thunderbolt egpu capabilities on their site.
@@potatosalad6802 the Z13 doesn't need thunderbolt because it also has the XG Mobile port for even better eGPU performance. Although those are currently very hard to get.
There are also models with less powerful Intel CPUs, but if you want AMD, you'd need to go with the Flow X13 instead.
that rog flow is really neat. Might consider to get one of it
I agree with Dave that z13 tablet is definitely the most interesting device to me as well. It's a shame I already have an iPad 7th gen which works fine for my daily needs. I got an old laptop and I would've liked to replace it with the tablet since I like to attach my own keyboard and mouse instead of using the trackpad and laptop keyboard anyway. But... I'd like if they made a 15 or 16 inch version of this!
I’m so glad the entire lineup this year has mux switches.
I hope it remains that way for years to come. And that other manufacturers follow suite.
Omg this year laptops looks amazing, amd 6000 and intel 12000 series looks really promising.
Asus is really in search for the Incredibles these past few years lol
Asus A17 2020 here. Great laptop still going strong
Crazy video! Really managed to get me hyped up :D
I just couldn't wrap my head around how can Asus cool a 105w device with two little fans and a couple of heatpipes/vapour chamber.
I’ve never heard of this dude before, but now that I have watched him for the first time I can’t help but wonder if he’s filming this in front of a green screen or if the room he’s in is actually real.
Already hyped for the new tablet. Need for work and MsWord purpose with a bit of light to medium gaming that I can carry around with. Same. Hopefully the price is not too stupid like you said.
I am really excited for this years G14. I kept on hold the purchase of personal laptop. G14 2022 is going to be my blind purchase, once it will be available. Only 6000 series GPU from AMD is little skeptical for me over NVIDIA.
