The Pudget Systems Bench was run in Davinci Resolve. Sorry for the confusion.
After a recent move I couldn’t find my power block, so I used the power block for my Mac and it worked just fine
Awesome review. Answered all the questions I had.
Glad it helped!
Nice review, got from it everything i wanted to know.
Glad this could help!
Yo mate fair review . Well done. Can you pls give me some info on ram stick... like manufacturer.. frequency and timings??
bro u did the best review of the history! thx a lot!!!
I hope it helped!
@@CrashWilcox i am using one now, so... helped a lot!
finally a solid review
Thanks for checking it out!
fantastic laptop
Honestly wish I saw this before I bought my XPS 9510 for $700 (OLED / 3050Ti and a an 11th gen i7. Did upgrade the RAM to 32GB though)
Fantastic value here for $1600~
$700 though is a pretty sweet deal for what you got.
Great review on the laptop. I have to agree with you that it is a great deal considering that it has the same top spec processor and the highest spec graphics card that the current ProArt Studiobook 16 has and considering that it is roughly 1k cheaper that isn't a bad deal and apart from the keyboard layout looking a bit odd and it having no gap between the number pads and the return key etc I would say it's a near perfect budget version of the ProArt Studiobook H7604JI except one huge thing that nobody ever actually points out when they compare the 2 laptops and that can be a deal breaker for some people. Yes it is a great OLED screen but unlike the ProArt Studiobook screen it isn't a touch screen
Good point, thank you for mentioning that. I personally don't use touch screens so, that's probably why I missed it but if that matters to you then it matters. Thanks again!
I have been charging mine while driving with a 12v PD 100 watt charger and was surprised how fast it charged.
Wow! More laptops need to implement this tech.
Great review brother 👍🏻
Thank you!
Some corrections. The 600nits is only for HDR. Normal content is usually under 400. The miniLED in macbook pros are significantly brighter and can reach over 1000nits in HDR and 500+nits in SDR. The weight is also at least 4.6lbs so half a pound heavier. US inflation is not the big price driver. All RTX laptops have a huge price premium attached because Nvidia has a monopoly. Laptops in Canada and Europe are significantly more expensive.
Thanks for the updates and that's unfortunate about pricing in Canada and Europe.
why do you need such brightness? To become blind? This laptop's advantage that is very low minimum brightness allowing you to use it in a dark room with curtained windows without external lighting at all by "dc dimming" through brand app in addition after setting minimal brightness in windows setting, or if you suffer from "Pulse-width modulation" you can do the opposite - set windows brightness to maximum and control it by in app preference, and use windows brightness settibg inly if you are already set minimum brightness in qpp. But i personnaly suffer from "anti-pwd" and it's qualitty killing more and don't notice "pwd" at all.
@@Twilight_Sparkle I guess so you could game on battery outside😂
@CrashWilcox really ☠️☠️☠️
Great review! Spec-wise, this seems like a great machine at a very competitive price. What's your feeling on overall durability - do you think this could easily last 5 years? I've heard mixed reviews regarding both quality control for this model and ASUS's general customer service. Also, could this take an upgrade of up to 64 GB RAM? I've seen conflicting info on the internet, so unsure whether it's capped at 32 GB RAM. (Edit: also, don't want to be THAT guy, but timestamps/chapters for different talking points would really help revisiting a particular section, so it would be super helpful if you could add those in the future)
Sorry for the late reply. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and especially leaving your thoughts. I have heeded your advice and added timestamps to the video, thank you for pointing that out.
As to your questions, I do think this could last 5 years. Again, I don't see this as a laptop in the true sense. This is a desktop replacement and in that case, not being moved around or thrown in a backpack, I think it will hold up. The power certainly should. I'm not sure about ASUS customer service as I have never used them so I can't speak on that. To the best of my knowledge this can take 64Gb's of RAM, that at least is what the website claims: www.asus.com/laptops/for-creators/vivobook/vivobook-pro-16x-oled-k6604/
@@CrashWilcox Appreciate the reply. And nice stuff with the timestamps. I guess I'll have to think long and hard whether I can justify paying an extra 25% or so for the Zenbook Pro 16x, or bite the bullet and get the Vivobook Pro, which really seems like the more sensible option for my needs. Would you say portability isn't really feasible at all? I'm talking occasionally traveling and moving it from one office to another, rather than truly using it as a fully mobile machine and whipping it out on the go, in any setting.
@@mathviews I think it can be portable but if you plan on moving it alot, the zenbook may be the better option just due to build quality. The plastic on this may cause problems over time.
If it's just moving from one desk to another it probably won't be a big issue but extensive travel could be.
@@CrashWilcox Thanks again for the input. I'll sleep on this some more and eventually pull the trigger.
@@mathviews I'd love to know what you decide on and why.
Nice review. I just got the Non OLED version of this machine. This same spec for 1000$ in Micro Center. The Non OLED version will have 1440p 240Hz display. It's still a very good display. All the color gamut are very good even it's not a OLED panel. A big win for me.
Probably a better option, might get a little better battery life. Also, that's a sweet deal!
wow, you got lucky. They don't even list the laptop on their site now i guess
@@demonhogo It was too good to be true:)
@@demonhogo Yep. It was out of stock now. Lucky to get it fast.
I did too in New Jersey. It’s been about a month. I use it connected to a tv. For 1000$ it’s a beast. Thermals are pretty good. I had an issue installing a 4tb 990pro but it was bios setting thing. It has two full speed thunderbolt 4 ports, that will slow charge.. a satisfied customer
Hi! Do the fans get noisy? Can you clearly hear them while you're in a room alone with no background sounds?
When idle or light loud, they aren't very noticeable, but under heavy load, you will definitely notice them.
Is the K6604JI-AS99 model oled?? Please someone help, there’s so many conflicting answers!
Same problem here. 🤷♂️
Hey, AWESOME Video!
I bought this Studiobook because of you. I'm very satisfied with it's performance, especially after I installed Crucial 64GB(2x32) RAM. I'm just curious about one thing, the 2TB Storage "limitation". Is that a limitation on how it can be ordered from factory or a limitation on what can be installed? Because i noticed when watching the ASUS introduction video, he mentioned that the PC "can ordered with up to 2TB of storage". He he didn't mention it as being a 2TB limit. Also, couldn't we just install a bigger SSD and partition 2TB as C-Drive? And the rest as D, E or F-Drive?
As you can tell, I really want a bigger SSD 😅
Did you ever get a solution to this? Sorry for the late response.
Not yet, haven't had a chance to look into it. Any suggestions on who to reach out to for and answer?
I would just chat with someone on their website if that's an option. They will probably be able to answer your question pretty quickly.
Will do, thanks Brotha.
Can anyony explain please... Description says "no g-sync on main display". Does it mean I will have g-sync if I connect external monitor?
Gsync is reliant on the monitor, so if the external monitor supports gsync then it should work
very nice video
i find it sad to only have a 1Gb ethernet port on such a great PC spec'd PC
Yeah, 2.5 would be great but they have to make a distinction somehow between this and the high-end model.
This things on sale on best buy for $1750. I'm really debating on getting it. Do you happen to know if the ram slots can hold 32gb each for 64gb max? Honestly a bummer to hear that the SSD slot only holds 2tb considering you can get a Samsung 990pro 4Tb for $300.
I believe it's 32Gbs which is a bit of a bummer but still alot of laptop for the price.
I just installed 64GB (2x 32)of RAM from Crucial. It really unleashed it. ASUS website says "up to 64GB of RAM", so I put it in there, and it worked 😎👍
@@m77lapuente That's good news, there has been some confusion about how much RAM it could utilize.
I ran the boot command and found out the same. It's max RAM on the Nvidia 4060 model i9 with 16g and 8gb dedicated is 64gb
@@bens3767 That's good to know. Thanks for the update!
very nice review! you were actually one of the few guys who actually told the truth about the battery life. I have bought a 16x version with i9, 32gb ram, rtx4060 GPU with a WUXGA display. The battery life is the worst part of the laptop with only 3-3.5 hours. You have to carry your charger and depend on it. It is also a litte bit noisy and it is hotter than my old lenovo z5070. I bought the asus for its lightweight and power but I really did not like the battery life, fan noise and temperature. I am almost regretful.
Thank you for your kind words and sorry to hear you have some disappointments. That is always the way it goes unless you just have all the money to splurge on the highest end tech, which I do not.
Have you tried the USB-C charging? It's supposed to work with any USB-C charger and fast charge at 100w or higher.
@@CrashWilcox Do you mean carrying a usb-c powerbank instead of the adapter. I have not tried it but it may be a solution.
@@ataksitelenjiyektazi A power bank or just your phone charger possibly. If you have or could buy a smaller 100W USB-C charger that might make the laptop alot easier to take on the go? Might be an option worth looking into.
I am considering buying this version of the Vivobook. People complain about the instability of the bios and generally not coming out of sleep mode. Many people seem to return the laptop because of that. How is the stability in your experience?
@@RecklessTurtle No stability issues on my end and in fact coming out of sleep mode hasn't been the issue for me with windows, it's be getting them to enter sleep mode.
I think this is a great laptop for the price and its been out long enough now that hopefully many of those issues have been resolved.
Just bought this with 32gb ram 1798.99. Good review, really enjoyed your thoughts. Crucial website claims it will take a 4tb SSD, I will be finding out. God bless you!
That would be good info, please consider letting us know if it does or doesn't.
@@CrashWilcox OK, reporting back. I installed the SSD recommended for my laptop on the crucial site. They also have a link to Acronis True image for free use if you have a crucial drive on the system. I used a drive enclosure on USB for the new drive as there is only one SSD slot on my laptop. Acronis will partition the new drive (the system doesn't see it until you do but Acronis does) and move everything including the OS. It works on Windows after install and can make a rescue media. Installed the new drive, it booted, I now have about 3.7tb. Acronis used a few small partitions for OS & recovery etc. I ran a scan it's all good. If I run into a problem I will check back.
As a side , I paid about $18 on the SSD enclosure and installed the old SSD into it after, I now have a 1 tb USB drive ( Thunderbolt ⚡).
Hello, how is the noise level? Does it get loud under heavy load like gaming or video editing?
@@hanabiss Yes, it can get fairly loud. It's worst then other laptops of the same specs, just not much better either.
so microcenter has it for 1249 right now... seems like I just shell out the $249 for the 64gb RAM upgrade and slide in a 4TB Samsung 990 pro and we're good here...
I don't think you'll be displeased.
Non oled should be the same? Microcenter has it now (April 2024) for $1049 new
That is a good deal!
Do you think the 3d oled model with i7-13650hx 32gb ram and 512 ssd rtx 4070 8gb is worth 1615 usd ? And do you think it could live up to 5-6 years of usage? These specs are very power hungry and the battery is unfortunately irreplaceable
It's hard to tell with modern tech but if I had to guess I would say that this laptop will last 5 years. Again, I don't really think of it as a laptop but a desktop replacement and in that mode, I think it will be great from years. You'll certainly need some storage upgrades but that is fairly inexpensive anymore.
@@CrashWilcox if you were to buy one between the Asus vivobook pro 16x 3d OLED with the specs mentioned above 1615usd and Lenovo legion 5i pro gen 8 i7-13700hx 16gb 1tb ssd nvme Rtx 4060 8go for 1965 usd what would you choose? I won't be gaming, it's for photo & video editing & some bioinformatics
@@ghofransai9600 While I'm speculating because I haven't used the 5i pro, I would go with the ASUS. It has a better GPU, better screen and a lower price. Lenovo may have better build quality but they will both be sitting on a desk most of the time so I don't think that matters.
Hey man..I got this laptop.. loud yes...but why is it an HX CPU yet I can't undervold or overclock ..no xtu. Nothing
That's a good question. I wonder if this is yet another self-imposed limitation for this model as opposed to the Studiobook?
@@CrashWilcox wait, You're telling me that the studiobook is unlocked ? I won mine at an ebay auction for 1200, nearly had the pro art for the same price 🫥
@@whitepenali No, Im not sure if it is or if the pro art is, Im just speculating.
you said it has the same screen as the proart studiobook 16, it doesn't
What's the difference?
Hi. Does the display hurt your eyes?
No, I don't recall it hurting my eyes.

why only 2TB of M.2 SSD max? I don't get it
Yeah, it's basically like Apple, manufacturer-imposed limitations.
@@CrashWilcox a good reason not to buy this thing. and not Apple anyways.
@@tom_hengst Yeah, the point of not buying Apple is not buying Apple. Windows dressed up as Apple is no better.

DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE! ASUS knowingly had manufactured a defective design After only 4 months,the computer's hinge has broken. They will repair under warranty, but it must be sent in. If you can afford to be without the computer for a month, go for it! But know that you will have to get it repaired within the year.
I'm sorry to hear about that, thanks for the warning.
Never happened to me or anyone else I know
Lmao...I think this is your problem. You treat your machine like a toy xD
I don’t agree,buy a desktop… Less than 9 hour battery, forget it!
I don't understand how this maxes out at a 2TB ssd, surely you can just stick a 4tb ssd in it and it should work just fine?
