Hey Chaps! What do you think of the S 16??
❤ hey Tech chap
Did you just count all the vents?? hahahahaha or did you just estimated?
Btw not gonna lie, this laptop is perfect to catch cuz why not?, better than Asus P16 pro i could say right?
this is the best looking ultra book I've seen this year , the ports are great and the screen is amazing , cpu and iGpu are super, i definitely will get this one
Huh, is that a FedEx button on 4:30?! 😅
Love it!! Tempted ❤
I'll be interested to see how the battery performs, compared to a macbook.
probably half, Windows really needs Arm to compete in battery, but half isn't bad for an x86 if you need windows and/or Nvidia GPU
@@houssamalucad753keep drinking that kool aid
@@houssamalucad753X86 has the double the battery life of Arm
@@houssamalucad753 Lol, meteor lake laptops have upwards of 12-14 hours of real world battery life which almost the same as m3 macbook pro which has an advertised battery life of 18 hrs, "ADVERTISED!!", both lunar lake and Ryzen Ai 300 are significantly better than their first generation products and of course not counting the performance of m3 vs these two where they mop the floor with the m3
Yup, now that arm for Windows is here for real, it's the only true comparison. That said, this version likely has efficiency cores so it may not be bad with light tasks.
Finally the full size sd card readers are back!! Now I can buy a laptop again 🤩
Hehe, I thought exactly the same, but then I remembered I use CF Express A cards in my camera 😂, although I can still use SD in there instead when I go away on holiday 🤔
That looks promising so far. Love the pen support and it's nice to see laptops finally going back to full size SD readers, although that's typical now I've moved on to CF Express A in my cameras... Ergh. I love my Acer 16" laptop with a 4k OLED, which is only 1.13Kg, but the build is rough and the heat / noise is bad, so crossing my fingers on this one. Looking forward to your full review!
are the fans loud at all under general use and light gaming
The counting had me 😂
@thetechchap Can you please share if the ASUS Zenbook S 16 has a full aluminium body? I've read somewhere that the bottom is made out of plastic and that would really ruin the premium feel for me. Cheers
How many nits of brightness 🔅 does it have?
The most important is battery life. Please test it :)
This one look really good!❤ Looking forward for the review!
Thank you for this insight. No numpad!? too bad for this screen size
This is the first laptop in years that I actually want and it isn't made by Microsoft or Apple.
Love the design. Looks so cool and refreshing. I might get one as I am going back to Windows OS.
The way Tom counts the number of holes got me HAHAHAHH
Would you believe that I counted them all... ;)
@@Thetechchap I do. You even gave us the exact number of holes 🤣
Holes in the right places are an important thing.
what day does embargo lift please ?
Can you try some ML benchmarking tools like MLPerf? it would be nice to see how fast this new AI chip at multiply-accumulate operations.
Look forward to your buying guide soon👍👍
Look forward for full review and performance
actually thinking of getting this. Done with having discrete gpus in daily driver laptops.
Is it available with a 5G data modem?
How do the edges feel since they ditched the diamond cut of previous models? My older zenbook 14 is not very comfortable to hold with one hand or have resting on my belly while laying back on the couch with the laptop elevated on my knees.
Wonder if they'll be able to fit the more powerful 16core Strix Halo version of this with 40CUs, compared to the 12core 16CUs, in this laptop.
A iGPU with 40CUs would be a game changer.
A 130 watt chip Is definitely possible in a thin PC. Having some Nvidia GPUs running 120 alone on notebook, means there's no thermal limits here
its possible, but you dont want it
Can't wait to see comparison s16 versus proart p16 and macbooks m1,m2,m3 chips
they missed the space to put front facing speakers.
Battery life ! And will it support the new windows ai system like the Qualcomm elite chip !
It does support that new AI thing on Windows. In fact, this chip has a little more AI power than the Qualcomm elite. This one has 50 tops of AI compared to Qualcomm elite which has 45 tops of AI performance.
I love my 14 inch but i might upgrade to this!
Im impressed. Wow.
Is the trackpad haptic touch? Nobody seems to mention it.
Might be diving board
no.
No
Windows laptops have always been like that. Missing a little something from perfection.
@@Chinh_MV Only high end pro window laptops have haptic trackpads :C
This one looks sick!!!
How about P16 vs S16? They are the same price
Hello, I specialize in photography and photo editing. I recently found an ASUS ZenBook S 16 OLED while looking at several models as I needed a 16-inch laptop. I would appreciate it if you could rate this model to fit my needs. I'm mainly working on high resolution images using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. So display quality and performance are very important factors. I was wondering if this laptop could meet my requirements.
Do you have any Linux experience? Does it work properly under Linux?
the printer doesnt work out of the box. you need to install cups
@@michal1693what do you mean by that ?????? Does it work under Linux properly ???
I'm really stuck deciding what laptop to buy ,out of amd .Intel or snapdragon
I want it for Hacking. Pentesting and cyber security ,also good battery life ,and that is good for everything
Should I go for this zenbook or another laptop ??? Thanks
@@akeem_arif384 - i was joking. Ofcourse it works no problem. It is well known x86-64.
Im using ryzen 7700, b650 board, nvidia gpu running Arch extra-testing repositories because the new interesting KDE/nvidia updates. Works like a charm. Im running windows in a qemu vm.
If i was buying laptop now i would buy AMD x86-64. Probablly something like this zenbook. I might want cheaper model without touchscreen,
Whats Linux support on this thing? Probably good since it’s AMD
monstrous in performance!!!
Definitely interested in this, but 32 gigs of ram in 2024 is base configuration I'll need at least 64 gigs unless the ram is upgradable, damn my 7-year-old 600 2-in-1 has 32 gigs of RAM, if we want this laptop relevant for more than a few years it needs to be either upgradeable or 64 gig available
I think it's THE laptop for me, just waiting for it's launch in my country.
Hope you get it soon!
I'm looking for a 16" Windows laptop with an ARM CPU.
I'm considering getting one without an integrated GPU and getting an external one instead.
All AMDs have internal GPUs, the hx370 has the most powerful one ever, equal to an RTX 3050 ..
Support for ARM external GPUs isn't out yet ...
@@dgillies5420 Do you know if there will be support for external GPU's? If not, I'll probably go with the X model laptop.
Very beautiful machine to use
Give me the strix halo option with wattage adjustment and 128 gigs of ram and I'm ditching my macbook pro.
Finally a perfect lapto! Imagine it having thunderbolt 5? 😃
Where is Asus Numbpad (Zenbook USP) ?
please test this laptop show us speaker test comparing with mac and battery test please
it kind of reminds me of the previous generations of dell xps models
A smaller one coming soon? S13 flip by any chance?
S 14 :)
That is a very good price for the build quality and specs. I'm looking forward to a full review.
The mobile processor market for laptops is getting quick good with the present of the new players, named ARM chips from Apple and now Qualcomm.
Hi, is that touchpad haptic?
No
Hey The Tech Clap
Battery life gonna be the make or break for me with this probably. Also not sure if I really want a laptop from Asus.... Had a situation with a motherboard recently and well.... yea.
agreed
Is macbook air m2 15 inch good choice for students who never used laptops
perfect for student
too expensive, depends what is your use case, good show piece
If you don't plan on using it for engineering nor college financial courses, you should be fine for all other college/university majors. It just isn't built for most financial software nor engineering software at certain universities/colleges.
There are a lot of medical students who use the MacBook Air, 13-inch & 15-inch, for classes. Medical, psychology, law, history, sociology, photography, or arts majors should all be fine with the M2 Air.
@@FireFox-ch2tu I am a law student
@@ReaperG-qs5pf Any windows laptop will do, save you a lot of money, get a laptop with 16gb of ram or above, 1tb storage, newer chips from either intel(ultra series) or amd(ryzen ai) or even the new snapdragon x elite, all of them are very efficient processors, will last you for 12 hrs or longer on battery and your good, If possible get something with a nice keyboard to type on. same specifications will cost you a lot in Macbook
Fact is, the bottom panel is made of plastic. Huge deal breaker.
The performance comparison was done against Zen 3+ and rdna2 (7735U zenbook) not even Zen 4 and rdna3
It might be my next laptop.
why does it have 24GB on the asus website here lmao
Best laptop in800 bucks for creative work?
Is the hinge goes 360?
No
@@TechboyUK so what's the point with sending asus pen with the laptop. i plan to replace my asus vivobook flip because of battery life. do you know if this amd variant have good battery life?
@@ohad4790 Yeah, not much point in the pen. Although, I rarely use the pens with my Surface Book 2 and my Samsung S24 Ultra as I'm not an artist and prefer to markup PDF's with a keyboard.
This laptop is now on my shortlist, although I am really interested in a 16" Qualcomm X Elite based laptop (which would have a much better battery life e.g. ~20 hours vs AMD ~10 hours - both very rough figures, but the right ballpark). I might get a thin laptop for 95% use and an external (Thunderbolt) graphics card for gaming and video editing, which I would do at my desk (with a Samsung Neo G9 27" monitor)...
Where Buy it in USA?
We need a comparison video between M3 MacBook Air, M3 MacBook Pro, and this new laptop for sure!
I very much preferred the old minimal cover design with only a stylized A that reminded of a Star Trek communicator. These lines are simply unattractive, which is a shame considering this nice chassis.
I think they’re both sexy in their own right
Power, Design, Weight, Display .... everything is like a dream comes true. Working / Entertain / Causual Gaming for someone like me who is travelin´a lot. But 2099,00 Euros what is expected in Germany is a lot of money and it comes from Asus which do not have the best reputation when it comes to after sales support..... so in germany, might be better in other countries ?!? But at all this S16 is fantastic piece of hardware.
Wonder if we can edit render HDR videos using Davinci on this laptop.
If 600 nits is enough
The integrated GPU has the same performance as almost an RTX 3050 mobile at 50W. So I guess you know now.
@@mariussm7797 this is not answer for my question
I wouldn't get a laptop at the moment with the Snapdragon Elite laptops just around the corner. Those won't be for everyone but best to wait to see what they're like.
if you want x86 with GPU?
Any idea of the release date?
July 15 worldwide
@@dgillies5420 Their website says mid-August. Can pre-order the 1TB white model from today. I'll probably get the 32GB, 2TB grey version.
For the price(at bestbuy) this laptop seems a little too good to be true. I will hold out till the full review.
Wondering if the 880M will actually be that much better than the 780M and if battery life is where the compromise is.
When are you guys gonna give proper reviews? It’s been weeks since the launch. I need to buy a laptop urgently. And only thing holding me from buying a Macbook Air is Snapdragon X Elite.
And for me, I'm still using Mac 16/2019 as daily job😢
My Asus 14, Oled have dead pixel issue after 12.5 months, luckily I got 2 years warranty, my M1 got no issue even already 2 years.
You dont have oled.
Do you know Asus is from Taiwan?
I want this on ARM chip
Me too!
This is a pre release apple ??? I swear thats what you said at the beginning sorry if im wrong
First look, have not tested anything - yet your video thumbnail says “I Want One”
is RYzen Ai300 another name of RYzen 9000 series?
yep
@@Thetechchap looks like 2024 is AI year😂
why looks so similar as xps 16?
Very impressive, I don't like the glossy panel either.
amd will get a lot of laptop market share, because lunar lake use n3b will be expensive and elite x also not cheap
nice, but the display is still too glossy. After I have seen the anti reflective Corning Glass from the galaxy book 4 pro, I never want to be without it
Is that Gorilla Glass Armor same tech as on the S24 Ultra? The anti reflection on it is a real game changer.. almost like a matte but with glossy's sharpness and contrast.
@@williammaverick have compared it together with the new LG Gram 16 with matte display. Samsung vibrant colours, better contrast. I am a matte fan. But I will hold the samsung book4 pro.
I love ASUS, they have the best coil whine and RMA practices!
You managed to not mention the most important part of this device, its iGPU.
If the USB 4 would support external graphic cards this woulf be king
Hoping USB /TB 5 wont take so long to be available on next year laptops.
@@AhmadQ.81 what kind of data would need speeds like that
It does. It needs PCIE tunneling over USB4 to be able to do that.
Microsoft requires devices shipping with Windows and USB4 ports to have PCIE tunneling for Thunderbolt compatibility.
It does support eGPU. They USB C 4.0 which supports them.
if the graphical capabilities even just slightly better than the previous generation Ryzen i'll replacing my old Zephyrus G14 with this one, the older you are the more you want thin & light but can do some gaming
it shows in the video...20-30% more gpu power, something close to rtx 2050
The problem with this zenbook is it overheats. Otherwise it’s fantastic device with great battery
yeah, I today saw price for it. Don't know when asus become apple with the pricing of new laptops or quality as apple. but all windows laptops are closing price gap with apple laptops. this year windows laptop are insane expensive. same model as in video, in Slovakia 2400 euros
Just don't chase anything that just come out. Wait for 6-12 months unless money is not a concern.
That would be minimum of 10 248 PLN in Poland (we still don't have Euro). The minimum national salary is not less than PLN 4 300,00 gross, which means that the employee receives a net salary of PLN 3 261,53 (no less than this amount is received for full-time work of at least 8 hours a day, from Monday to Friday - per one month). After paying bills and deducting maintenance costs, you can actually buy such a laptop in about six months, if you live in the fresh air and on river water. Is it the same or worse for you? Ah, excluding any family members, (so no family, sorry!) because that would be more mouths to feed.
Can I swap out the processor to something better?
Upgradable?
No
ASUS has been kicking ass with great laptops in the past few years.
Lenovo and ASUS.
The only two brands making solid laptops for years now.
The ZenBook line-up, ROG Lineup [especially Zephyrus G14s], Scar Strix Lineups have all been phenomenal
As has been Lenovo's Slim Yoga 7is and 9i's, not to mention how the Legion is a beast in itself.
@navixaxa5023 hiya I'm really stuck deciding in which laptop to buy
I want it for
Hacking
Pentesting and
Cyber security
Should I go for this zenbook or the yoga 7i ryzen
Which is best out of ryzen .Intel or snapdragon ???&which laptop should I go for ??? I want one with good battery life
@@akeem_arif384 The SnapDragons have good battery life [as far as the RUclipsrs tell].
But compatibility will be an issue. If the Apps that you're gonna use have an ARM Version available, then you'll be good to go with the SnapDragons.
But if they're not, and still run on the x86 Architecture, then there's a 50/50 chance that either they'll run in Emulation [Prism does that], or they won't work at all.
In the latter case, you might wanna look at the latest Ryzen SoCs.
Looks great but I wish there was a 14" model, the other thing is battery life and if it works as well unplugged as plugged in like my 14" m1 pro ? plus when you do some intensive video editing/rendering etc do those fans start to sound like a helicopter and does it burn your knees or make you sterile 😉
Its good but it's a shame that just making it 3mm thicker would have improved the performance 30%.
the lines on the lid make it look ugly... to bad.
Why do so many variants of Asus laptops look just like their G16 but with a different back design lol
There are some useful gestures
That you may know 😏
The vivobook 16 has the exact same screen except its 3.2k at 120hz. Why am I paying more for 1 million less pixels?
Better specs.
I think beyond the battery life of a MacBook, the touchpad is very important to me because I always use my laptops without a mouse because I'm always carrying it around and don't always have a desk to set it on. The MacBook touchpad is fantastic because it is haptic. These touchpads with a diving board design usually feel horrible to use in comparison and make the unit an instant return for me.
I can say that It's so far, the best-looking laptop this year, 2024. I mean it that It's better than MacBook and all Asus Laptops as well.
Without force touch, 🤨🤔
Speakers didn't sound great but otherwise looks decent.
Yo, give me GAMING TEST NOW!
this is a great laptop! it looks nice!
I don't get the hype allot this laptop, it doesn't have discrete graphics 🤔 Is it meant to be proved much cheaper than say an XPS 16?
the look like Dell Xps
I would pronounce it as sarah-luminum. Dunno if its accurate.
