I hope they bring out a non-oled version of this laptop as well. My primary OS being Linux where we don't have pixel shifter yet, I fear screen burn in will definitely happen soon.
Lisa, I always feel bad for not being a regular viewer, but every few years when I'm looking for a new device, I binge your channel. Thanks for the excellent reviews!
It gets very hot, and I had a few crashes actually where the screen went black with just the mouspointer visible and I had to do a hard reboot. Returned it.
Awesome review! Thanks for sharing what works and what doesn't work as well. Would you still say it makes sense to buy last year's edition (with Interl or AMD CPU) given that this is now out? I intent to keep my device for 5+ years, mostly light office work and watching videos.
I just have a question does it feel like a 1300$ in terms of build quality? I have the Asus Zenbook 14 2022(which has the same designto this one) with 8/256, and the fans on my laptop turned on even on simple web browsing and while watching YT videos. So does it happen with this laptop as well?
Love your reviews. In case you review the Asus Zenbook Duo 2024 I would appreciate the review of the Pen on the Duo. I am sure looking for a duo, or fold, 2-in-one laptop so I could sketch on one screen and see the reference on the other. I would expect these Duo type of laptops are the future.
I'm not sure why Asus thought they'd be well served bumping these up into the 1200-1500 competition. They owned the budget option premium thin and light the last couple years. Just giving that up doesn't make sense
I dunno... sound to me more like an extremely expensive with not so extremely high standard. For such a pricey machine, I didn't expect to hear this many complains from a review.
I know it isn't on you but I really dislike how the intro (And again, this is basically on Asus) *still* implies that AMD is the budget option and that the high end option you need intel: I'm sorry but I'd like things like actually usable video drivers for the integrated graphics so even if I wanted a high end product I wouldn't pick even the newest Arc based intel chips: them getting better drivers now still means its usually ok but often non-functional drivers depending on the game for example. I'm just tired of companies like Asus always doing this kind of stuff with their huge allocation of AMD chips instead of letting those go to companies that would actually do AMD justice as a legitimate, high end option that's almost always competitive and in some areas flat out superior to intel chips still today.
With respect to AMD, it's started to change, but in general I agree with you, a few years ago, AMD processors were always put in the "budget" versions. Now that's not always the case. Should never have happened in the first place though.
they're going to be coming out with an amd version of this with 16gb of ram and half a terabyte of storage. Should be around 1k, which with inflation will put it at an amazing value proposition.
This model is reasonably priced in the UK at £1400 for Core Ultra 9/1TB/32GB. It is expensive for a machine with no dGPU, but it remains cheaper than premium ultrabooks like the XPS 14, MB Air M3, and Galaxy Book 4 Pro, which have similar specs. I prefer an IPS option for increased battery life and the peace of mind of having no burn-in potential. But the market has swung to OLED, so it is what it is. Battery life is okay, but when I regularly get 14-16 hours SOT on my MB Air M2, which includes standby time of 2-3 days, The ASUS would be a big downgrade in that respect. But it is a lot cheaper than the MB Air. Hard to be anything but positive about this. As far as mid-range ultrabooks go, it is expensive (versus previous years) but has a great spec. ASUS may even now be targeting this as the value premium ultrabook and is competitive versus Samsung, Apple and Dell.
Had this thing for a few days, but ultimately had to return it. It's an unreal fingerprint magnet. I'm not generally concerned about this, but Asus must have engineered the surface specifically to collect prints.
Many of these newer finishes will settle down about fingerprints after you've handled them enough to fill in the surface texture with oils from your hands. Not necessarily the case here, but for one example: the screen on my 2020 Ideapad felt terrible to draw on until it was evenly coated with oils, kind of like seasoning a skillet. The outer lid was also a print magnet until a couple months into owning it.

Its mindblowing ghat lisa still reviews tech products ☺️ i use to watch her reviews back in the samsung galaxy s1 hummingbird cpu era
Your taste in tshirts is unmatched 😂
Excellent review as always, we would expect nothing less.
Omg Lisa I hadn’t come across her videos in a while and LOVE the new look! 👍🏼
I hope they bring out a non-oled version of this laptop as well. My primary OS being Linux where we don't have pixel shifter yet, I fear screen burn in will definitely happen soon.
What? No internal views? I think it's the first time I don't see Lisa looking in the guts of a laptop!😮
I would love to see this compared to the new spectre 14. I want to see which performs better and has better battery. Great review!
Thanks for posting this video.
Lisa, I always feel bad for not being a regular viewer, but every few years when I'm looking for a new device, I binge your channel. Thanks for the excellent reviews!
bro is it a 14 inch full hd display?
This is the only review I've seen that has disabled the NPU. Very cool!
It gets very hot, and I had a few crashes actually where the screen went black with just the mouspointer visible and I had to do a hard reboot. Returned it.
how is the battery life on it?
thanks for this. i was about to buy it.
Lisa what's your favorite gaming laptop of 2024?
Keep up the good work!

Oh my. That haircut looks fantastic on you Lisa!

Hasn't on our review unit. Different CPU among other internal changes help.
I am confused between this and IdeaPad pro 5 ultra 9, or any other which one to choose ??

I don't know if you will see this Lisa, but how did you disable the NPU to get a higher OpenCL score in Geekbench? 🤔
Spot on as always...gj!
Always the best reviews!
Definitely a consideration for this year! Thanks for the real world review points. Any word from Asus on a Pro model for 2024?
I'm not sure why Asus thought they'd be well served bumping these up into the 1200-1500 competition. They owned the budget option premium thin and light the last couple years. Just giving that up doesn't make sense
Hi! Thank you for the video. Are you going to do review of dell xps 16, which was released last month?
How about noise and temp?
Yep, lots of AI snake oil out there. Ooooh, an AI chip! lol
It’s holding up otherwise shaky stocks with no growth potential and slacking sales.
That's a nice looking ultrabook. It puts some other brands to shame.
I dunno... sound to me more like an extremely expensive with not so extremely high standard. For such a pricey machine, I didn't expect to hear this many complains from a review.
I have the Core Ultra 9 version on its way, but, why are there no reviews anywhere for the Ultra 9? Only the Ultra 7. 😮🤷
Ultra 9 is just ultra 7 overclocked. No core count increase.
Love the shirt. Where can I buy one? Thanks

Asus put AMD processor in their higher end ROG Zephyrus G14, so it appears that Asus doesn’t view AMD as lower end.
can you test how well Steam VR runs on these machines?
I just want the 16 inch version of this.

When p1 gen6???
Can anyone tell me if this laptop with 32gb RAM/1TB ssd is a better option than a Macbook Air 13" M3 16gb/512gb, for college?
I'd appreciate the help 🙏
Is this laptop fanless?
How many external displays can it drive?
6
@@backrack01 Imma go with 1.
@@citadelo5ricks idk. Another youtube reviewer mentioned up to 6.
You probably get this a lot but I love your new haircut!
Dang! She is price right!
Nice‼️🫵🏾😃
New hairstyle :) good day to you.
that's some pretty shite numbers in Cinebench r23
I think I'll give the core ultra first gen a miss
Hello.
Wow not to be disrespectful but how old are you?? I'm just very surprised, haha
75
[4.56] .... these games are "older and less demanding" ... (end quote). Zynan says: 'Just like me. I'm older and less demanding'.
I have one, really happy with it
Great review. Look forward to your review of the Zephyrus G14!

how long battery life do you get on it?
Dell xps 14 had identical metrics for its panel and you said it was not one of the best oled panel?????
Lovely Lisa. Thank you.
something is wrong with the asus laptop oled screens
Bro you are so weird and twisted.
Had this thing for a few days, but ultimately had to return it. It's an unreal fingerprint magnet. I'm not generally concerned about this, but Asus must have engineered the surface specifically to collect prints.

just bought one, the cheap Mediatek Lan/Blueetoth card is not stable
i want zenbook with mini led display to cut the cost & longevity
Thanks for another great review. Any chance of a head to head review of this with the HP spectre 14 and dell xps 14? Thanks
No fingerprint scanner...
Nice review, I just looking for a new laptop 😮
Watching since Cnet
where can i get that t-shirt?
Do you get a cover and pen cause I didn’t get one or is it different for Australia?
Where did you buy yours? I’m in Melbourne and can’t find this laptop in stores.
I am sorry but Meteor Lake is bad.
do you see moire pattern coming from oled touch layer?
Nope.
Nice Hair
