Can vouch for the quality of UGreen accessories of all stripes. My 100W GaN charger has been through the wars and keeps on going. I also have several external SSD enclosures and USB to Ethernet adapters that see daily use.

[@JustJoshTech]

Have been great for us. We've been using them in the office for about 7 months for all the laptops you see on the channel (note for performance testing we do use the included charger). I also personally have been using the UGreen Nexode Pro 100w and 65w when traveling and its been great. Finally ... i'm writing to you using their Thunderbolt 4/USB4 dock and its amazing. So all good. I wouldn't take a sponsor that I didn't use btw :)@@saturnotaku

[@bryans8656]

Thanks for the comparison. For less demanding users last years model looks like a very good option.

I have seen "hardware canucks" and "Andrew Marc David" Intel Core ULTRA series 1 has MacBook 2023 level of BATTERY LIFE and has FASTER video editing than MacBook 2023. Many "X" users also tested many METEOR Lake laptops and said same thing that it has MacBook level of BATTERY LIFE.

[@magnus9316]

Is the chassis the same (or similar in build quality) as the zenbook x, pro or s variants or is it mostly just a difference of internals?

[@andrewburwood5457]

Got this laptop a few weeks back here in the UK. Still has the Numpad feature on the trackpad. But the base model only comes with 16gb of RAM compared to the 32gb in the US model. My Cinebench 2024 results where a different to yours with the latest BIOS (301): Single Core: 97 Multi Core: 725 I still think there is room for improvement from ASUS with a few more BIOS updates which I hope we will see. Especially compared to HP in terms of battery efficiency. But overall I am happy with this laptop and it will be a great asset for me when I am traveling.

[@joshhart4089]

Glad to hear this as I’ve had my eye on this laptop for a month. I was going to purchase the ultra 7 16gb version but then saw ASUS updated the website and in mid Feb are releasing the ultra 5 and ultra 9 models with the ram upgrade to 32gb so holding off till then! (UK) Maybe you can return the one you have for a faster model?

[@HDRPC]

Best laptop and MacBook 2023 level of BATTERY LIFE.

[@andrewburwood5457]

@@joshhart4089 I have the exact same laptop (Ultra 7) as this review apart from 16gb of ram. So in theory benchmarks should be similar. My Single core is slightly lower than Josh but my Multi Core is quicker. Little bummed they are now offering the 32gb model. But 16gb should be enough for what I do web browsing etc. Its basically a secondary machine.

[@LouieTingkingco]

US are complaining about the price of $1299 which they will get a 1TB/32GB while in EU market it’s €1399 for 512GB/16GB🤦🏻‍♂️

Josh, I hope you see this and respond. I’m not in the US and in my country they still have stock of the Zenbook 14 Flip 2022 with Ryzen 9. Is that still good to purchase over this Zenbook 14 OLED 2024?

[@remirt1]

Any thoughts on the Ultra 9 model with 32GB RAM? Nobody seems to be reviewing it yet and curious about benchmarks.

[@franciscodiaz5778]

Thank you Josh, as always, as always, such a good quality videos.

Awesome review as usual. But Josh and Team, if I had to choose between last year’s 14X and this new 14, which one then?

[@kyub1x333]

Hopefully they answer, I had the same question

[@computinginfo3187]

I had settled on getting the new 14 but, after this video... I don't know. I would also like some advice.

[@geoffrey8221]

Last year year I ordered both the 14x oled (USD 699 at Bestbuy) and the 14 (USD 629 AT Walmart at the time). I returned the 14 due to its excessive fan noise and kept the 14x oled as it did not have that issue and was zippy. Happy I did so, also as the new Intel processors dont seem all that. Would have loved the weight of the 14 though for day to day travel purposes.

[@fidelisitor8953]

For the improved battery life alone I'd pick the new 14 over last years 14X.

[@brianangulo9246]

Hi Josh, thank you for a great video. If you had to pick between last year's 14x at $700 (just bought it last week on sale) vs this new one at $1k (current price at best buy near me) Seems a lot of people in the comments have the same question. It seems the new 14 is a better due to graphics and battery but is it $300 better? Foe context I'm a developer by trade and dabble in light video editing

[@Chapay-cc7qh]

Are the bezels plastic? Cant find the info anywhere. I went to the store to check and they only had the ultra 5 125h model that had plastic bezels. But from the videos, this one doesnt look plastic at all

[@ATP-Flo]

Do you think the Intel ultra 9 185H version of this laptop will come with 45W TDP? If not... what would be the difference to the ultra 7 155H?

Josh can you make Lenovo Yoga pro 7i (2024) vs Asus zenbook 14 (2024) please 🙏🏼

[@nathanhood8578]

$1,300 I think is a bit high for what you're getting. Right now for $200 more at Costco ($1,500), you can get their version of the Lenovo Slim Pro 9 that has the i9-13905H, RTX4050, 32GB ram, 1TB SSD, and a 16" miniLED screen. Well worth the extra $200 in upgrades IMHO.

[@fidelisitor8953]

But that's a big 16 inch laptop not a 14 inch one. Also, ASUS has the 14X OLED with the same specs as the lenovo but a 3050 6GB instead of 4050 and it goes for $1,499 retail price. If I were out in the market for a 14 inch laptop, I'd get the 14X OLED instead of the lenovo.

[@synen]

@@fidelisitor8953Not sure, so many new killer laptops coming soon in 2024 Id wait a bit. The i9 version of the Zenbook 14x w/3050 that you mention is great except for the battery life which is why I rather wait for Ultra 9s from Intel.

[@nathanhood8578]

@@fidelisitor8953 according to Asus' website, the max GPU the 14X uses is the RTX 3050.. an older generation GPU than the RTX 4050. Maybe you were talking about the Asus Zenbook Pro 14 OLED that uses the RTX 4070 for $2100? Either way in my opinion... miniLED>OLED.

Got the 155H/32GB/1TB model for my wifey, as an upgrade to her older Lenovo Yoga Slim 1135g7/16GB/512GB, and she is liking the feel, speed and especially the OLED screen. This is really a good one for the price. For myself I upgraded by 5850U based EliteBook to EliteBook 835 G10 7840U/32GB/2TB Samsung 990 Pro as my daily driver. If you do some content creation (photo, video) like my wife, the ZenBook OLED is the way to go.

But I could get a business laptop asw, Like that Elitebook u mentioned, or a Thinkpad X1 Yoga G7, they have tradeoffs right, more expensive, but with matte displays and better keyboards.

Looking for the same

[@gurlight2131]

There was video from him comparing all the laptops he reviewed last year. His website justjosh on description also has an excel sheet comparing all the laptops

[@cebukitty]

i'm using a M2 macbook air 15. but looking for a windows laptop that's thin light, silent, good battery life.

I have last year's ZenBook. Screen and fan noise is wonderful, however for battery life go with the newest version with Intel Ultra cores

[@theinktician]

ZenBook 14 somehow still remains the most underrated laptop (not on this channel) in the product segment. And while the price is higher, I'm certain they'll sell for around $500 at some point this year at Best Buy. It never makes sense, but on Best Buy's website they go on sale twice a year for anywhere from 30% to 70% off. I had a chance to get the 12th gen model for $340, and I found the AMD model with MX450 for $212. Year after year they somehow pull this off whenever they phase out a model. Even the non-open box versions, well under 500.

[@danielosoriocardenas6550]

Hi. How often do you check for this sales? Also, you bought that one i. 340 refurbished or new?

[@aparna776]

I'll wait for you to eat your words. Jk. I don't agree that this would be $500 but feel free to wait.

[@carsonjulvezan4031]

yeah i dont know whats going on with the core ultra performance inconsistencies. I briefly had a zenbook 14 with the 7 155h and both cinebench r23 and r24 both said it was slower than an m1 macbook air lol. That was after multiple hours of troubleshooting mind you.

[@mikephilpot]

So what do you prefer ... this or the HP Spectre x360? Tough choice!

[@dovislt]

Does this have the grainy screen effect OLED touch screens tend to?

[@Spl4tt]

I got mine yesterday and spent a lot of time with it already. I'm a linux user and I almost see no bad things here: The CPU is incredible, the batterylife is really good, between 8 and 10h, the fans almost never go on and, except for the speakers, everything works right out of the box for me. This was clearly the better choice for me instead of the macbook air. My usecase is coding and general productive stuff.

[@akaju1c3]

What adjustment did you make for the speakers. I've had mine for about a week so any help with setting it up is appreciated.

[@pattyanime7116]

i was considering this but the whole oled display, feels like trouble sure it nice but the burn in.

[@DimitrisVayenas]

Does the i9 model has pcie v5? Because the chipset 185H) and the processor do support pcie 5. They avoid to mention the interface, they only refer to the pcie v4 disk tha comes with it. I wonder if they are just keeping it quiet in order to not hurt the other models

[@nickonurrahmaddian1972]

How about comparison between intel ultra 7 155H with amd ryzen 7 7840Hs?

[@gustavoholo1007]

I can only find the zenbook 14X at 750USD (plus $100 taxes) with 8GB of ram, 1000USD (plus $150 taxes) with 16gb of ram. And the base macbook air m1 at 750USD (amazon refurbished, total price). Which of these is the better deal?

[@svkbw1921]

I got the 2023 14x a week ago, but I didn’t get it on sale. Your videos insinuate that while its a decent computer, its really only worth it if you buy it on sale. Do you think I should return it & grab something else? I’m a business student & I need a new laptop for school & other work.

Can't wait for your HP Spectre x360 14 2024 review. That's what I ended up buying. So far VERY happy with it. Looks like it has nailed the Asus on every score. What's more HP has included the pen too. Downside for the HP is lack of an HDMI port. But nothing a dongle can't fix.

[@JustJoshTech]

[@HDRPC]

HP spectre X360 14 is the best overall package and MacBook 2023 level of BATTERY life. Watch other reviews.

[@autumnpage2520]

I'd be interested to know which BIOS version you were using for this review (301 is the latest), if you know. Some of the reviews I've been seeing for this laptop look like it's a fair bit worse in both battery and CPU performance than expected for having near-identical components to the Spectre, which is especially surprising to me given the slightly larger battery in the Zenbook. I read that the first few BIOS versions were lacking some important updates so I'm wondering if that could be the reason for the poor results seen in a lot of reviews. It's difficult to track down whether different reviewers updated the BIOS or not before reviewing so any information you can share on this would be super helpful!

[@JustJoshTech]

Check our recent x1c video. It has the absolute latest version. We re tested for that video

I have the 2023 version. Battery is trash tbh, but I have an i7-13700H... So no surprises there, seems like that for a powerful CPU with good battery you need to go ARM, although I treat my laptops as my car so maybe that is important as well lol "I paid for the whole speedometer I'm gonna use the whole speedometer" I always keep my ZenBook in performance + 120Hz

[@ayazibrahimhasan4081]

I just watched this and the new HP Spectre x360 review and I still can't decide on which one to get. For decent gaming and professional programming which one would be a better buy?

Depends what you want. 155h + 2X better graphics + live longer from battery + new processor - pricy 13700h + more powerful + 1,5X cheaper - pretty bad graphic (not for games) - cannot work for 5-7 hours away from plug unless you are a linux user and know how to customise you power drawing. Depends what you want. In country where I live the price difference only 20%, between 155h/32/1 and 13700/16/1 . So, im getting 155h... In states you can get 13700 for 700$ from BB deal or even cheaper.

[@sjewkes1]

What a shame that Lenovo dropped their 14" Slim Pro 9i for this year, they could have won the category easily. There's a lot of shames about Lenovo this year, but it's good to see Asus is at least taking feedback from last year's model and improving in some areas. Hoping to see some better mini-LED options in the market for 2024, as I'll be finally deciding on a new model by the summer.

Consider adding DAWBench instead to test real-time audio performance. This should be a good real-world use-case benchmark of a laptop's DPC latency.

[@VihangaDananjaya1214]

Please review budget friendly 16 inch laptops too with intel core ultra or AMD zen 4 CPUs. And also oled isn't for everyone. I'd appreciate if you mention all the display options available too.

Hp pavilion Plus 14 (68 Wh) with #AMD 7840U has 10 to 11 hours of BATTERY. Hp spectre x360 14 (68 Wh) with #Intel Core ULTRA 7 155H has 14 to 15 hours of BATTERY. 😱 Intel laptops BATTERY life is as good as MacBook M2/M3 even though Intel is using Tiles/Chiplet. Impressive🤯 💪

[@HDRPC]

I have seen "hardware canucks" and "Andrew Marc David" Intel Core ULTRA series 1 has MacBook 2023 level of BATTERY LIFE and has FASTER video editing than MacBook 2023.

[@HH-dv5gr]

Does Asus plan to release this laptop with Ryzen processor which gave better battery life like last year? That would be nice to have same battery life as last year with 32GB ram.

[@joseantoniopajuelocrispin4464]

Zenbook 16 is better?

[@gamithagimhana]

Is it good to buy zenbook 14x i9 version (without graphic card version) instead of this ? Price is ok.

Hi, everyone. Does anyone know how to set the backlight keyboard light to automatically turn off after a few seconds of no use? I cannot find that setting.

[@suridk9370]

I have the Zenbook 14X. It's an amazing laptop but the battery is very disappointing.

[@skeptyka]

What do you mean? Just limit the power consumption as much as you want the battery to last

[@aksshaysharma96]

So better to get a MacBook? ​@@recordedanemone6399

[@mrkhadi1]

Yeah past intel processors have terrible efficiency & battery life. The impressive thing about the 14x though was the silent mode which really tamped down on the fan noise to being nonexistent for majority of the time. I currently have the yoga 9i and the fans are incessantly on for even light tasks such as web browsing. The two main reasons I returned the 14x was the bottom firing speakers which sounded muffled when not on a hard surface and preferring a 2in1. The 14x laptop is still a best buy this year.

[@user-on8kp5mp6u]

I am considering the 14X, would you still recommend it?

[@endless_puns]

Does it still make sense to get last year's version? And in that case, is it better to opt for the model with the Intel i5-1340P or the Ryzen 5 7530U processor? I don't need thunderbolt capability, just a snappy everyday performance, good battery life and a machine that will last me for at least 5 years or so.

[@JustJoshTech]

I'd definitely get last years, and with the Ryzen 5 u series you mentioned

I just picked up a 14x for $700 but I am tempted to return it and get this new 14 with the core ultra. I am just not sure if it is worth the extra $600 for 16gb more ram, the Npu and better gpu performance. Any thoughts anyone

[@Jacob-Pogicat]

Honestly I'm in the same boat. I would love a comparison.

The Zenbook 14x eith 13700H CPU with EVO platform can be bought for $800 now. Its a hige value at that price. I just bought one for myself with 1tb drive.

[@Arjun-yw7sw]

Does it heats up?…or loud fan noise?

[@trubadyr99]

Thank you for this review. I know that I most probably won't pick this laptop if I decide to replace my Dell XPS 13" this year. I wondered if HP renewed its Dragonfly this year? It was a laptop I might buy in 2023. I was impressed with its excellent B&W quad speakers, among many other features it has. So did HP made its Dragonfly better in 2024?

[@TheSuperTiger2011]

can you take a look at the star labs starfighter that runs linux. Great video btw

[@pl4195]

seems last year version is better when taking the price into account.

[@definingslawek4731]

I need a powreful computer so I'm looking at the asus zenbook pro 14, and it's quite frustrating to see that it has two usb c ports, only one of which is thunderbolt, but this way way cheaper one has two thunderbolts lol.

[@deloller2452]

[@michaelbabiuk8758]

Just a generic question regarding your testing process on all your test laptops samples. Is their ANY non-biased data reporting source that could indicate the reliability of the laptop being tested or the warranty repair capability of the manufacturer or their reputation for their warranty repair work? Personally, I doubt that. Most things I have read over the years regarding that topic are reports based upon essentially non-statistical owner testimonials. Pity. In some ways that bit of information would be more useful to a perspective owner of a particular laptop than say how that laptop did on a particular benchmark test. Otherwise, very nice review (as always) of the Asus Zenbook 14.

[@redoctober2026]

Why did Asus place USB C and HDMI ports on the right side? I will skip it till their location changes to the left side.

[@IhsanIbrahim]

Of course double, bcoz of the new model release and also the Intel tax. Same class of processor from intel will be more expensive.

[@grahame8032]

I have one but the battery life is not that good compared to my Macbook Air. Intel needs to do much better with battery life even for basic things like watching videos

I am confused between Asus Zenbook 14 and Spectre x360 (both Ultra 7 with 32 GB). In India, Spectre x360 is INR 45,000/- (approx. 550 USD / 425 GBP) costlier. Is the Spectre worth the extra money ?
