Im lookin at this and nitro 5 im usually gaming/ RUclips. I need portability good life span and be able to play WoW smoothly. Only £50 difference but this says "MIL-STD 810G military standard for reliability and durability" sounds good
Such a helpful review thank you! I'm choosing between this and the acer swift 3 amd ryzen 5. Do you have tips on which might be better? Both have 8g RAM I heard for the zenbook the integrated vega graphics takes 2gb so the working RAM is more like 6gb, is that noticeable?
Hi. I am also facing difficulty to choose between two. Did you buy either? If Acer display could have been atleast a little better it was no brainer but now ...
Hello everyone, I bought Asus UM431da (ryzen 7 3700u version), Im happy with purchase but I have 3 possible 'problems' with my laptop and I need opinion of the owners of this computer. 1- Battery life seems to short, with browsing usage I only can get about 3/3:30h. 2- While im on browsing the computer reach temps about 45/50ºC. 3- I already have parasite sounds (on the plastics?) when I open and close laptop, or take no another place every time I listen the sounds : / its normal owners?
Top firing on both sides of the keyboard unlike most Asus laptops with bottom-side firing speakers. Screen is anti-glare. Brightness is probably 300 nits (not sure about this).
Interesting, i would test this on my zenbook but i dont intend to use Linux so i dont wanna bother making a partition and full install. Would a bootable usb suffice to test it? And what distro? I prefer debian myself
Yeah just testing using a bootable linux drive should be enough to check if it works fine. Any distro (like ubuntu/fedora) would work too. The main concern is graphics related issues on Linux.

This laptop has a really bad sound chip. When you plug headphones to listen to music using cable headphones, you get toy-like sound quality. Absolutely sub-par sound through the headphones. Much cheaper laptops have better sound. I contacted ASUS and they have no solution.
@@vgnfrlf8903 Have not had any issues with the laptop itself so far. Runs great, doesn't get hot, and battery life is great. I have the UM433DA-NH74 model
for the all-metal build quality and colour-accurate (100% sRGB important for photo editing) screen and lightness it's actually a price leader in that segment of quality ultrabooks.

I have the 16gb variant with a 1tb ssd, honestly best price to performance laptop ive ever seen.
Where can i get that variant from? It's not available anywhere online.
How is it for gaming does it get hot? Life span u recon?
@@patryklewandowski5377 i have no idea, i did not buy the laptop to game. I assume it would not be very well fitted for gaming purposes.

Good practical review 👍
I agree
Would this laptop be good for mostly programming etc.?

@aliiiem which one did you end up buying?!
Could you provide some differences between asus zenbook 14 (UM431) and vivobook 14 X403FA? Would be thankful...
You can not upgrade to 16GB of ram. It has a 8GB sodimm slot and it is soldered.
Which is better this one or. The ideapad s540??
Super helpful review!!
Which do you think is better this one or the acer swift 3 2020? Thanks a lot
Can you do a review of the Acer Aspire 5 please with the new Ryzen 4500U
Hi, are u sure that the ram of this notebook can be upgraded? On the web i always find that the ram is welded and cant be upgraded to 16gb

Hello everyone,
I bought Asus UM431da (ryzen 7 3700u version), Im happy with purchase but I have 3 possible 'problems' with my laptop and I need opinion of the owners of this computer.
1- Battery life seems to short, with browsing usage I only can get about 3/3:30h.
2- While im on browsing the computer reach temps about 45/50ºC.
3- I already have parasite sounds (on the plastics?) when I open and close laptop, or take no another place every time I listen the sounds : /
its normal owners?
Mai I ask whereabouts exactly are the location of the speakers? And what is maximum brightness in nits of the screen? Is the screen anti glare?
Top firing on both sides of the keyboard unlike most Asus laptops with bottom-side firing speakers. Screen is anti-glare. Brightness is probably 300 nits (not sure about this).
It has a quad speaker setup, two on the top and two on the bottom. Max brightness is 300 nits and yes the screen is anti glare.
I got this laptop and the fans are kicking so loud Idk what to do and it kicks for no reason sometimes
I got a vivobook flip but I can't use the mouse I can only use the pen what should I do??????????
This or vivobook s14?
Which is the best laptop under 65k???
is this a metal chassis or just plastic with a metal finish?
Just listen ^^. He said "the all metal build..." ( 5:28)
@@TheOtaku12 thanks.

It would be great if you could test linux on it and see if it works fine. AMD's linux drivers are notorious for being bad.

Well I recently got a work laptop with Ryzen 5 2500u and ubuntu seems to be working fine on it. No issues so far.
I love it, is it possible to expand the RAM memory up to 16 GB? Thanks from Colombia
Hay una versión de 16 de RAM, pero esta viene fijada, no puedes expandirla.
Actually 1 problem I noticed they don't have number pad
What about the fan and cooling system ?
Best one yet
should I game on this laptop?
nope
i just wanna know how it performs in games compared to the other zenbook. aka, how does the vega8 integrated chip compare to the mx150
I heard it's not a good game laptop.
