I would love the haptic trackpads on next gen Zephyrus lineup. Glass is fine build / feel wise, but haptic is what makes it more usable for me coming from the MacBook trackpads. Still; haptic trackpads are still unicorns within the notebooks as of today even with more support for them in 2024 from Sensel.
I've been looking to buy a new laptop over the past year and the Zenbook Pro 16X was in my top 3. - Asus ROG Flow X16 (has to have the mini-LED Nebula screen, only one worth getting). - Lenovo Yoga/Slim Pro 9i. Now in 2024 I'm probably gonna get the Asus Zephyrus G16 with the AMD 370 cpu (Zen 5). The ROG Flow and Zenbook from 2023 are still enticing and can possibly be a better deal.
This is an awesome review and an awesome laptop! and definitely true about the hard to find part! I really wanted to get this laptop for a while but could never find it so ended up going with the proart studiobook instead, but still agree that this one seems better in some ways, especially with that 4080! 🤩
@@icromance nice i got a 4060 laptop last month for 1800$. I know the pricing is absurd but that's just how it is in 3rd world countries like india haha
We buy consoles that were not really upgraded as we can configure a laptop so it's not a big deal like most people think. Most people only recently started upgrading consoles with this gen so a non upgradable laptop is not that far out
I did something crazy and installed the 2048 zone Mini-Led from ASUS ROG STRIX into my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro and now I can see why the high end ASUS models all have this display. It looks gorgeous and every image is pure eye candy. Unfortunately Lenovo is still behind on the Display game even in 2024...
If its between: this Zenbook Pro 16X (13th gen i9 with 4070) or 2024 Zephyrus G16 with the AMD 370 and 4070 (up to 105W max TGP with dynamic boost) The Zenbook with 4080 is impossible to find. Sellers on ebay have it for $3.8-4.6k!
That's a tough choice! I'd probably lean more towards the G16 for the better CPU, but the Zenbook is definitely quieter and has that touchscreen which is nice if it's something you'd use! G16 will have better speakers, more performance tuning options, and no screen door effect.
This model has always been amazing...I think what has been the biggest stumbling block is the price. It's Razer premium levels.... But it is worth it for the innovation...
@@kenyakking agreed. Apparently they’re super discounted in-store at Micro Center if you find one. I was chatting with a guy in the comments who picked one up for $1,700
I own this laptop and the speakers are just georgious. They are so loud and the sound is so surround. But yeah, DialPad is something useless for most users...
I enjoyed watching the entire video, even though I’m not looking to buy a new laptop. Your style is great! At 24:09, could you please share the tool that shows power consumption in watts on the taskbar?
Asus knows how to build the PCs, but they never done it completely right. Choose the 4080 version G14 2023 for a relatively portable device that can do some machine learning stuff. They released the zenbook 14 with the power budget that we can use 7940+4080 just like 2023 G14 but never put 4080 on it.😢 They even reserved a memory slot for upgrade. If they provide 4080 or above models, it would be a laptop that also has a perfect screen, additional memory slot, 1.6kg, and a better fan design that not blowing the screen.
5:33 , Silent mode in many laptops make the chassis really hotter especially if its metal build my GP66 118003070, Im afraid to use when doing heavy 3d rendering coz it may be bad for MOBO. Also metal chassis is good imo, as they tend to dissipate heat much quicker . For this reason I tuned my CPU and GPU for my like, as by using throttlestop and ASUS GPU tweak III. Later is good to control all individual parameter of GPUs. Especially locked GPU temp at 80 and 75 regarding the situation.
Probably the best creators laptop on the market - which is ironic considering that ASUS themselves just launched a new ProArt model recently. Still, unlike you I find it criminal to not have a numpad on a machine for creators. Working in any CAD software with just the trackpad key-screen instead of a physical one is borderline impossible. I understand that has a lot to do with the new 16 inch craze (bigger screens are still better. Sorry nay-sayers plus air-plane travellers) and the fact that speakers on the front sides are objectively better. However I would take a more comfortable and complete keyboard over sound-quality and a more centered aesthetic any day of the week. When it comes to keyboard comfort the 2023 Asus ProArt was by far the best laptop out there imho, the newer model is a huge step backwards in this regard, AND lacks power. This one has the power, but it's last year tech with a '24 price tag, and still would force me to use an external keyboard or numpad. Really annoying! I hope 2025 has something that fits my creator's niche a bit more, or it will be gamer laptop again for the first time in a decade. And I really don't want to show up with a heavy gamer case to a client! :/
@@JoshCravesTechappreciate it, I’m on the fence about the whole thing though. I really love the performance with some caveats, but I can’t seem to reach similar battery performance as you show in the video. I will get the 11w like you said but there will be spikes to about 35-40 watts just randomly.
@@JoshCravesTechI got it for only 1750 too which I felt was a pretty crazy deal. I have a 4080 g16 on the way too, I’m looking to compare the both with my own use case.
@@lukecarson1828 $1750 is absolutely insane. For the 4080 right?? Even for any 4080 laptop that’s an insane price. But yeah so if you’re seeing random spikes up then that would be a sign of background processes from Windows or some other software or driver. First, try enabling battery saver mode in Windows so it stops doing things like updates and stuff in the background, and change the power mode in Windows to “Best Efficiency”. That should hopefully help. Make sure you hit that “one button” for battery saver at the top of MyAsus that I showed in the software part of the video. I forget what all that does though. I REALLY wish G-Helper worked on this laptop cause then you could do some real fine tuning. You might be able to get something like UXTU or Throttlestop to work and maybe drag down the PL1/PL2 when on battery to something like 10-15W max and see if that works as well.
@@JoshCravesTech yeah it’s the 4080 model, the guy said it was on the shelf for months too. Oddly it’s missing like 4 screws for whatever reason. Ghelper works for me to some extent, like when switching fan modes, but you can’t adjust the fan curves. Okay I’ll try that thanks for the help.🙏
Can you compare this to the Legion 7i gen 9 with the i9-14900HX, RTX 4070, 3.2K display, 32GB, and 1TB? I’m planning to get the Legion 7i for college, productivity/programming, video editing, and gaming
@@Namu4Life yeah I have the Legion 7i with me right now! Except mine is the 1600p display. The colors are definitely not as vibrant (nor would they be on the 3.2K since it’s still IPS) unless you get the mini-LED model then you’d have both brightness and high color gamut. The Legion’s CPU gets HOT! It cannot hit the full potential of the 14900HX because that CPU is just way too demanding and power-hungry for that chassis. The area to the right of the trackpad also gets pretty hot on your hands due to the 2-fan system not being able to fully cool every part of the laptop. Battery life also kinda sucks. I’m getting around 4-6 hours at the very most with all battery saving features enabled. The 4070 is good, but still nowhere near as good for video and gaming as the 4080/4090. And the fan tuning is a little wonky with the Balanced mode being way too loud for my tastes. And silent mode can even ramp the fans up at times. As for pros, the Legion is very sleek looking and has a nice glass trackpad and comfortable keyboard that feels a bit better to type on than the Zenbook. It’s not as premium feeling as the Zenbook, and it’s not the most “Slim” either, which is why I think they took the “Slim” out of the name this year. It’s bigger than the Zenbook in all dimensions, and thicker. But it is lighter so that’s a plus. It also has Advanced Optimus and Gsync for no screen-tearing and GPU switching on the fly. You also get a second SSD slot. So idk, for a college laptop, I don’t think I’d pick the Legion. I’d probably go with a Zephyrus G16, G14, or this Zenbook. Or even a 2023 Flow X16, and I have reviews for all of those. They all offer much better battery life, better fan tuning, and more portability than the Legion while all having similar or better performance in games and video editing.

@@Ch3CKP0INT. yeah you could easily get that out of the G16. Burn-in isn’t nearly as big of an issue as it used to be thanks to modern panel technology.
