This laptop looks like a beauty bro. Thermals aside this seems like a great option if you don't want to use ARM.

@dgillies5420 3 ай бұрын

It's actually just as efficient as the Snapdragon laptops and the iGPU is twice as fast, and it runs every x86 program. This product puts a lot of pressure on Qualcomm!

such a great laptop

That's one big trackpad!! Should I get this or should I pay a little more for the new PX13? I'll be using it mostly for school work, editing food and travel photos, and playing Sims!

@HeyMarkL 3 ай бұрын

PX13 might be better long term but you lose out on the 120Hz display and obviously the bigger screen.

@dgillies5420 3 ай бұрын

This computer plays all 1080p games well at medium settings (except Alan Wake). If you play mostly on the laptop screen it should be great and its super portable! If you play on QHD monitors or want a true tablet fold-flat screen then get the PX 13. I write code and need a 16-inch screen...

@dgillies5420 OH, so the S16 runs games fine on 1080p?

Hey man, great review. I am torn between the Zenbook S16 and the Zephyrus G16 with the AI 9 370 chip. Which one would you recommend? The S16 (32gb) costs 2099€ here and the G16(16GB, RTX4060) cost 2299€. Is the RTX4060 with 16GB still better than the S16?

@Aemond839 2 ай бұрын

Please let me know what option you went with, because I'm looking for a long lasting battery laptop, (I don't game) and I'm scared the GPU in the G16 will drain battery unnecessarily compared to the S16 Notebook

@@MarsLo389 check out the recent benchmarks of the 780m 880m and 890m. Most of the improvement in graphics is from 880m. There's no reason to get the top SKU. The 2 extra c-cores equates to 1.33 extra p-cores ..

i am confused on battery side ASUS Vivobook S 16 vs ASUS Zenbook S 16. which one should i go and over all which one is best also chip wise INTEL OR AMD

I had one for a few days sent it back for warranty. Random reboots, blackscreen freezes and at times random backlight blinking. Had quite the beta-tester feel.

i does get hot the way it comes out of the box, i turned performance to energy eff and gpu to the lowest setting and it still runs games well and much cooler. way better than the junk snapdragon i had to return cause it didnt run Vonage biz

@HeyMarkL 2 ай бұрын

Glad it’s working out for you much better now! To be fair snapdragon are not “gaming laptops” and their Adreno GPU’s are far more inferior than the iGPU on these new AMD chips.

Hey:) I want to get a new laptop to replace my old 10-year-old laptop. What do you think is better Asus Vivobook s16 or this Asus zenbook s 16? I need to work in Photoshop, or other drawing programs, sometimes play games, well, in general, just a good laptop to live a long time with me:)

@HeyMarkL 2 ай бұрын

I think you'll enjoy the Zenbook S16. But if you really want a good laptop that'll last you for a good while, the Asus Zephyrus G16 is a step above both and can game really well too. You still get OLED, better speakers, and now has this new chip AMD AI HX 370. If that's out of your budget though, go Zenbook S16

@dgillies5420 3 ай бұрын

For the extra $100 of this laptop you get 2x the iGPU and OLED, the lenovo has neither (and i love lenovo btw).

@owen9273 3 ай бұрын

This laptop does have the oled touch screen. I picked one up for $1299. I don't need the extra gpu cores as I will be connecting an eGPU when gaming. Only bad thing imo is that this doesn't have 32gb ram, top end model should've came with 48gb and low end should've been 32gb.

@dgillies5420 3 ай бұрын

@@owen9273 yeah I finally decided not to get the s16. Turns out most of the igpu performance boost is from the 880m. The 880m is 10% faster than the 780m. The 890m is only about 7% faster than the 880m. The 890m is truly a HARD fail in a GPU. It should be 33% faster, in theory, but is bus bandwidth bottlenecked ...The cooling on the s16 is insufficient and I wanted 32 GB of RAM. So I bought an Asus VivoBook with a 4060 and 80w cooling and a 7940hs. I plan to disable the GPU and run the laptop in whisper mode! The discrete GPU adds another 8 gigabytes of RAM, so, 40GB total!. It was only $1099 on clearance!

Your recommendation is really weird Why would you recommend a chip that is slower and does not run all the applications instead of this? Thats crazy

@HeyMarkL 3 ай бұрын

Because there’s a thing called translation layers that’ll be able to run more x86 apps (not all) and this will get better as support for ARM gets better at the end of this year and next. Recommending a laptop that is cheaper that can get similar results is what I’m trying to do

@SlateMonster-z4x 3 ай бұрын

@HeyMarkL So you are saying buy this bad product now, but it will get better in the future. Trust me. and what happens to the people that take your recommendation and run into an application that does not run next month? The arm hype is real. The arm windows machines should be selling for significantly less, to compensate for their lack of full compatibility, if tomorrow comes and they fix that's when they have better value.

@dgillies5420 3 ай бұрын

ARM GPU runs at less than half the speed. Microsoft didn't emulate all the x86 instructions! Microsoft doesn't like Vulcan! The Snapdragon X Elite is really only 3/4th of a computer.
