    1080p makes it a no go instantly. It's not fine for dealing with text. For watching videos or playing games, sure. But not for text or any sort of productivity. Forget multitasking or having windows side by side. Everything will need to be bigger in order to be visible and it will always feel cramped. I love the look of this laptop though. Really nailed it. Love the weight and prefer the grey colour. The design looks amazing and that's really rare, in my opinion.

      Magnesium alloy often feels like plastic. Because of this, the LG Grams have often been accused of being flimsy and lacking stiffness. But the tech is improving. I handled the Magicbook Art 14 which also uses magnesium alloy and is under 1kg like this A14 and it felt pretty solid with little flex.

    • @andyH_England
      @andyH_England 15 дней назад +2

      The lighter model is China only and has a much lower battery capacity meaning the heavier version gets 50% more SOT. The LG Gram has existed for years at around this weight so this is more marketing than anything original--all these are sponsored overviews, basically ten minute ads. Take that into account and wait for unsponsored reviews if any come. These are to help creators kick start the year with some well-deserved income.

    It's really something that I have been looking for in a laptop to carry around everywhere. Very decent performance, extremely light weight and Crazy good battery life, but thing to remember it's 60hz (that's a big downside for me). If they could have provided with a 120hz and a brighter screen, I would have loved to get one. Some small nitpicks for me, I think these thin and light laptops should have a sd card reader for quick memory expansion. And a fingerprint scanner would have been nice (maybe integrated with the power button). The future for ARM based windows laptop looks crazy good.

    • @Thetechchap
      @Thetechchap  14 дней назад

I was thinking to build a PC for my Gaming and for work I was thinking to get a thin&light laptop. 14" is the perfect size for me paired with light weight, hence was very excited for this. But, sadly the display would feel very laggy for me. All my devices are atleast 120hz.

      The quoted SOT is only for video playback with volume off, low brightness, low-power mode, no other apps, and backlit keyboard off. Very unrealistic. I have tested all X Elite laptops and their battery runtimes are no where near true if you do more than simply watch videos. I would say about half for light tasks multitasking, and half again for medium to heavy loads. Tested against my MB Air 15 doing the same stuff, my Mac lasts 40% longer. This device is using an even weaker GPU, and that is why there are no benchmarks, and that will likely sip battery as it is weak--but it may struggle to run 4K video so be warned. Also, this is IPS, and 60hz which saves battery.,

    I have no idea why anyone would buy this with the Zenbook S16 priced for less with AMD and better in every regard though a bit heavier. The S16 is currently £1499 with 3K OLED, 81 TOPS, 1TB/32GB, 6 speakers, AMD AI 9 HX, Radeon 890M, etc.
    If you are going for the higher spec version of the A14 get the S16 and thank me later, but if you want the cheapest model then look around as X Elite laptops are getting heavy discounts due to poor sales, and refurbs are cheaper still. For example I got an XPS 13, 32GB/1TB which is a premium model for £900 with three years warranty. Also, remember that there are still issues with lack of support for WOA machines and many people are returning them because of this. Also, the GPU on the A14 base model is weak so that may be a deal-breaker. And remember the quoted battery runtime are based on video playback on the cheapest /weakest model.

      I can see a time where Snapdragon processors are primarily in more affordable designs (especially the like of Chromebooks)

      @@Thetechchap That's a new one for me I'll admit, I never even imagined it. Hands up to you Sir. My point though is Qualcomm fails to understand that they need to be more competitive price wise, because right now their product is inferior. Maybe it will change with the second gen, but until the issues of arm chips are fixed, they need to be more affordable. I would never choose Snapdragon over Lunar Lake when i can have as good a performance, and even better battery life on Intel chips and no support issues.
      Thank you! And Love your content btw 🙂

      @Thetechchap Overall, when a brand doesn't have access to government subsidies by making or assembling their products in Brazil, they'll get higher taxes. Some brands, such as Samsung and Lenovo, get some benefits, yet according to the model, it's still pricy. 🥲
