KZbin hasn't pushed this channel to my feed in probably close to a decade. Suddenly today, MTR shows up!

[@MataH1]

Same for me, I had completely forgotten about her, although she is so great!

[@jpf1978]

I had a survey when I opened KZbin yesterday asking me to choose topics I wanted and don't want in my home feed. I think they are finally trying to fix the algorithm.

[@chronicle_4]

Same. Wondered if she stopped since i dont see it on my recos. Turns out, algo gods gimped her channel

[@Tass...]

@@chronicle_4 Same here.

[@eduardopatricio]

I've had the "bell" on for years. Always watch these great reviews.

[@sigma682]

This is the first time in a while that I’ve received a notification for your channel. I would contact KZbin if I were you.

[@worthless_opinion]

Bump, same here.

[@jimmyzhao2673]

Indeed. Me too. I had thought Lisa went on a summer vacation.

[@gw8025]

same. havent gotten notifications for lisa in over a year. This is the first vid to show up on home page in same time period

[@mobiletechreview]

That is so strange (and unfortunate for me!). Thanks for letting me know, y'all.

[@rasheedarif]

Same here. I saw her in a very long time on my hompage of KZbin

[@danisho730]

The OG reviewer. No clouty "look at me" intros, honest, fair, simple, unbiased reviews. Direct info, concise and no fillers to be likeable content creator. The only reviewer I trust.

[@misterhoeflak]

It's why we love our Lisa!

[@JustJoshTech]

Nice to see you also liking this laptop Lisa

[@junechevalier]

After years, your video finally popped up in my feed today

[@PeteOliva]

You are such a trustworthy, consistently solid reviewer. Always a joy to see a new clip of yours drop into my notifications! Very nice price on this system. I wish I was in the market right now, still paying off my Zenbook Pro. Possibly on down the line I might pick up a later gen version of this.

[@Darragh1]

I had a 1 TB ThinkPad X1 Extreme i9-9880H I bought for about €2k (reduced from 4k Black Friday) in Dec 2019 that I sold last year for €1000k despite it being 5 years old. You should think about selling it and re-buying particularly while Zenbook Pro's will get a lot of traction now because of AMD and Snapdragon chips :)

[@RealChristopherRobin]

I trust Lisa with my eyes closed

[@hasandeniz6612]

I 'm fond of your work. I remember many years ago you were reviewing older devices, which were new back then, the tech changes, but your dedication and excitement doesnt. Welldone ! Keep up the good work !

[@imribiy]

I constantly check my subs feed but I've seen many people commenting about they got notifications for the first time. This channel is like hidden gem and Lisa never surprise me to deliver best reviews ever made, definitely even 947k sub is underrated for such content. I'm just happy to be here.

[@That_IT_Trainer]

What I like is that you also tell the loudness of this laptop in your review and also other reviews. It is an important aspect for me

[@mrbyam64]

Hi Lisa, I'm so happy to have found you again reviewing tech. I grew up looking forward to your reviews. Greetings from Uganda :)

[@thegochie]

As soon as you mentioned the MPP protocol and the pen specifications I gave the like. Very thorough review. Thanks!

[@mlou4902]

Lisa been 10 toes down since I've been in HS!! One of the best reviewers you can ever watched. I saved a lot of money and made great tech decisions thanks to your channel!! :)

[@firelordvsgaming7258]

8 hrs of battery may sounds rough to some of yall but I'm looking to to upgrade from a surface book pro 2. IM GOING TO FEEL LIKE A GOD WHEN I GET THIS.

[@tanmaymadhukar7168]

Haven't seen you in a whileee !!! Glad to see you back, commenting and turning on all notifs to increase reach. One of the best Tech Review channels.

[@sequoia689]

that is a beautifully designed, well built laptop. love that it doesnt compromise on ports

[@linuxpirate]

The lines and hinges on that thing are just art. Reminds me of a thinkpad.

[@umiterdem2468]

Same here , I havent got any notification for years , today your video suddenly showed up , anyways thanks for the vid....Honest and most accurate channel

[@xcalib_r]

I saw that you were reviewing this and knew instantly that you'd like this model. What's not to love is the price, but surely discounts will come , hopefully for the 4060 32GB model.

[@WebFanNY]

I've been watching your channel for years. Thanks for every video you take the time to upload and for the research you make to help us not throw money out to the next shinny thing that comes out every day. 💙

[@steamline432]

Funny how we think of web-browsing as a lightweight task but even Falkon (which runs faster/lighter than Firefox, Chromium, Librefox) uses more RAM and CPU than any other program I regularly use (VSCode, Emacs, Dolphin, GIMP, Strawberry). For me, web-browsing is an intense activity.

[@gam3ahol1c]

I'm subscribed for a long time (years), yet KZbin has only pushed a notification for a video today. The other commenter's are correct. You should contact youtube support to have a look. Great review! You are always objective and provide a thorough review.

[@luxiyama]

I'd say the advantage of running millions of x86-based apps outweighs that 8 hour battery life, especially for such a small device.

[@drewlomite]

The flex on that keyboard would drive me insane

[@romario5080]

Stayed for the review, subbed for the shirt. Thank you

[@neon_trotsky]

Quite expensive. But this sort of power in a laptop this size would be unimaginable few years back.

[@sh0]

Hey Lisa! Been watching all your videos for ages, you're my go to reviewer... I'd love to see time stamps on your content so I can skip around to the sections I'm looking for (like display, processor, etc) when I am comparing various products to choose what to purchase!!

[@cameronbosch1213]

The one issue I have with this laptop is for the price, you're only getting a 60 hz screen. Yes, it's a good OLED screen with a high resolution, but I'd take a 120 hz 2560x1600 OLED screen over a 3k 60 OLED screen any day of the week, given 2560x1600 is way overkill at 13.4 inches! If this was cheaper or even released a few years ago, I could accept that refresh rate hit, but it's 2024, and this is _not_ a cheap laptop!

[@nonesuch27]

Even 90hz would be acceptable

[@jimmyzhao2673]

*wow* Ports ! Other manufacturers should take note.

[@younesab3538]

Woow m, it was really a long time when I sow you last time. You've CHANGED. HAPPY YO SEE YOU AGAIN 🎉🎉😊

[@danielpv1763]

You are among my best reviewers. You are transparent and objective. There are so many reviewers turned into salesmen on KZbin nowadays.

[@1joary3]

love your shirt! thanks for the review

[@QwietStorm]

Either this or the PZ is definitely my next laptop.

[@fred5743]

Wooow.. It's been a while I got your video on my feed. Strange!!

[@krjal3038]

Oh man, this is almost the ultimate mobile workstation for me but the stylus digitiser just isn't good enough. I'm really impressed with basically every other spec. If i could get this with an EMR digitiser instead I'd be ordering one right now while watching the conclusion of the review!

[@anam00090]

Agree. EMR would have been perfect. That diagonal line wobble is just unusable even for sketching.

[@dilipsripuram6004]

OMG... Why is this channel so underrated. I have been seeing her since a decade and she is so consistent and well informed. I think she needs to work on more marketing or something. I would recommend some collaboration with other creators. Its kind of sad.

[@saurabhshivamverma4192]

Perfect all rounder creater laptop ❤

[@epbrown01]

Eight hours of batter is subpar now. That’s 4x what my first laptops used to get, when you had to buy extra batteries to get thru a plane trip. :-)

[@steamline432]

Also, I've heard that Let's Notes are going to be available in the US again this fall. IK you probably won't read this comment but please review them when they come out 🙏 your videos are the best short-term reviews on youtube

[@Tommy_The_Gun]

Very cool laptop, but unfortunately way too expensive for what it is (overpriced, even for a premium product standards). It is Basically re-branded ROG Flow X13, but worse and either same priced or even more expensive than Flow X13. Also, fun fact: OG 1st gen ROG Flow X13 with worse specs (16/512/GTX1650) was sold brand new pretty much for half od the price tag of this thing. I also do not understand why they went for this kind of specs, but used 60hz screen. I guess part of the problem is that so far only Asus makes 13 inch 2in1 with dedicated GPU, so prolly that is why price tag is so far out into space lol.

[@MagiRa-r4m]

WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IT NOW! Like your dependable aunt, Lisa always delivers the goods.

[@Qkotman]

How many years were you gone? Have YT forgotten about you?

[@user-ti2xu3wp5l]

Honestly just clicked on this video because the laptop is so damn good looking (not that I don't love a good Lisa review too)

[@mightylotan]

Great review, thank you. If I had a spare $2k, would definitely pick this up lol

[@MikeMcIntyreintechrity]

I'd buy that in a second if they had a lower res screen to maximize battery. It would really nice if they had a kill switch to disable the dGPU too

[@worthless_opinion]

Can't you just lower the resolution in Windows?

[@cameronbosch1213]

@@worthless_opinion Sadly, you're still powering the pixels, even when lower res.

[@worthless_opinion]

@@cameronbosch1213 Oh, didn't know that!

[@MikeMcIntyreintechrity]

@@worthless_opinion You could but the fact it's a higher res screen it's effectively working harder to 'downscale' if that's such a word. Besides, 2k on a 13" screen is a waste. It's too small.

[@Agtsmirnoff]

Wow USB C ports on both the left and right sides!!! I can never figure out why manufacturers don’t see the benefit of this arrangement

[@rirrid5662]

Yes they're taking the mickey like every other foreign company here.

[@Berserkism]

​@zunedog31 how is it free? The government pays for nothing it doesn't take from someone else first. We are forced to pay $1500 a year in Medicare levy even if you also have private health. The only state that doesn't pay personally for Ambulance cover is Queensland but home owners pay a tax to cover that first everyone else. All other states must pay Ambulance cover or receive insane bills. Tax money pays for every treatment and that's comes out of our pockets. Nothing is free.

Absolutely loving the 4060 model

[@ArifAkmal]

The design looks great!

[@hksduhksdu]

Awesome review as always! Honestly ASUS is kinda doing something redundant. 890M is close to a 4050 at 1200p or even 1600p at some point, and they put in a 4050 there, wasting the internal 890M. If they remove that 4050, I am sure they could make it so much slimmer or much quieter. Anyway, again, love your review

[@DeenaMilkers]

[@steamline432]

Awesome design aside from that gaping window of a trackpad. I like the Panasonic-style 4cm-diameter circle

[@chuck7415]

Laptops not having haptic trackpads in 2024 is a shame. Once you use a MacBook trackpad there is no replacement.

Some Huawei models have it per reviews on Techtablets channel - they’re pretty nice but not widely available.

[@chuck7415]

Oh it was a while since I last saw you. Great content as always. Love the new hair style.

[@nonesuch27]

Oh nooo why 60 Hz...all of us who have gotten used to smooth phone screens can't go back to those ancient refresh rates

[@sedij2358]

True, that is the only real downside of this laptop. I would argue it's not that big of a deal for creative work, but man 120hz is just so nice to look at

[@KrimmReaper]

Lisa your new hairstyle looks so good!

[@mikerahl123]

Nice review! Could make for a great lightweight for people in my organization involved in graphics work and such. Quite a few don't like Macs

[@andyH_England]

FWIW outside the US this is not a cheap laptop, £2500 (>$3000) for the 4070. I think for that price not having 120Hz will be a negative for many. Also, a haptic touchpad would be fitting at this price.

[@Wistbacka]

There is also a 4070 version. I really wish we would get a side-by-side comparison between the three variants to see how mucb thermal throttling there is; are there any gains to go 4070 over the 4060 for example, when the chassi is so small and compact?

[@KronaasKlas]

Got the 4070 model and it's amazing. Two notes from me here that i saw someone else mention: 1. With the 4070 the fans immediately go nuts when you run something via the GPU. So be prepared for the noise if you buy that version and don't want to constantly run whisper mode. 2. Seems to be an issue with Lightroom Classic and the GPU. If i keep the GPU active LRC stutters a lot and if I turn the GPU off it runs smoothly. Seems to only be an issue with LRC what I've noticed so far and i hope a driver update can solve this in the future. Otherwise an amazing machine and for the price just compare it to the same specs on a mac and it suddenly looks cheap 😊

[@alexanderruchkov7629]

Have you tried rocking external 4k@120hz monitor on a desktop for example? (Via hdmi ofc) Ah, and one more thing - u got 13" or 16" version?

[@KronaasKlas]

I have the 13". Yes I've had it on a 4k 120hz external. Works great :)​@@alexanderruchkov7629

[@eltamarindo]

Accepting only the smallest 2230 M.2 is an annoying choice. ASUS does charge $240 to increase from 1TB to 2TB and will credit you $60 if you chose to have no SDD included. However, a good number of people will be annoyed that they cannot use what is now the most common M.2 form factor.

[@jirex1]

Cons: a) 60 Hz b) wifi 7 from mediatek constantly dropping = no go 😢 Maybe next year if they fix it👍

[@DrifterGaming]

KZbin hasn't recommended this channel for a loooong time. What's going on? I had to search for it

[@sandrolowboy]

Lisa is the best ❤ Idk … she has powerful energy!

[@worthless_opinion]

That's one classy chassis.

[@Kraaketaer]

Thanks for another great review! Do you know what the TDP/power limit of the GPU is (and, I assume, across various power modes, as no doubt it varies)? That's a pretty crucial metric for mobile GPUs these days given that, say, a 4060 can span from 50W to 125W.

[@MohsenJaveri]

In China the price of RTX4060 model for 16 inch is 18000RMB.

[@CasaFassa]

In the US the price is before local sales tax, which will be very close to 18000rmb upon purchase and sales tax. Today if you purchase it on taobao, they give you a sale price of 16999. not bad

[@kangsterizer]

honestly the ryzen option is pretty nice vs the arm laptop - intel's the one in troubles IMO. Might just get this when it goes on sale.

[@kickbeez642]

if it works well with CSP and an S pen I could consider it. I have a 2 in 1 rn but for my next 2 in 1 I'm keeping my eyes open. I wish the Surface Studio 2 in 1 laptop wasn't so expensive and not 50 50 in terms of reviews because I think it has the best design for artists.

[@demonhogo]

That price, for a 4050/4060 is insulting.

[@waterlevelcontrollerwithti6972]

Mam. Your demonstration for the product is awesome.

[@pillow4casestudies]

Im still using 15 year old wacom intuos 3, it works well. Added benefit is i can upgrade computer without thinking, is it touch screen. And work on big screens in many orientations. I had a thinkpad yoga, but found it uncomfortable to use long duration.

[@jondavid4747]

No current reviews of ASUS products should overlook their recent news of customer hostile policies.

[@rickyikchoi]

excellent review as usual, thanks!

[@tris85]

Hey @mobiletechreview, possible to teardown the hinges? Asking since the PX13 actually deactivates the keyboard if the screen is rotated > 180°. I used my old Flow X13 as a keyboard with connected external displays and that doesn't seam to be possible any more. Already asked ASUS for a fix but they told me it just gets deactivated and it's pretty unlikely there will be a fix any time (soon). So I'm thinking about just disconnecting the sensors? Really frustrated, love this device but totally need to able to use it as a standalone keyword with display "removed".
