- Опубліковано 28 тра 2024
- The best CPU for laptops was the Ryzen 9 5980HS but now with the 2022 rollout of Zen 3 there's the Ryzen 9 6900HS. But with these new laptops, prices have also increased so with everything else being equal, are the latest 2022 gaming laptops actually worth it or can you stick to a 2021 model?

Those battery life improvements look really interesting. I'd like to see a detailed exploration of that + the new integrated graphics, because those are the real selling points of this generation. Looking forward to non-chonky 14" everyday laptops that can also do AAA games at 1080p60. That's the dream.
That battery isnt while gaming.
While gaming, the difference isnt going to be that much since itbwas gpu thats hoarding all that power anyway.
Gaming will significantly reduce those batt life numbers. Also the performance will tank as well. I agree though I can’t wait for the day that we can have almost parity of performance on battery power and while plugged in. Add great battery life on top of that and it would be incredible. Apple does it with performance being the same on battery and plugged in but we all know they aren’t good for gaming.
Last year, a few "small non-gaming laptops" had RTX 3050Ti (e.g. Asus VivoBook Pro 14X). Gaming on 680M perform closer to entry-level MX570 than 3050 because Nvidia's game drivers are far more optimized to take advantage of the hardware.
So don't buy this expensive iGPU hoping to play AAA on low settings, instead get $800 MX570 or RTX3050 "ultrabook". A 6800U will cost a minimum $1500.
Frankly, I don't really care about battery life while gaming. If I'm gonna be playing a game, 90% of the time I'm going to be plugged in anyway. I would like a laptop that has great battery life while doing Office, Web, UA-cam, etc., and then when I do plug it in, works well enough for recent games at reasonable quality.
@@blue4059 I guess you do have a point. Still MX550 laptops aren't always the easiest to fine, but you're right in that if it's between, say, a 5600H + MX550 or a 6800H without a dGPU, the former would make more sense, provided it actually is cheaper. I have the feeling that the average HP Pavilion, Dell Inspiron, ASUS Vivobook, or Lenovo Ideapad/Thinkpad-E with a 6800U will end up being cheaper and more available, though.
Felt compelled to stop and thank you for the clean ad-spot in this video.
Thank you for this video, i really was hoping for this.
Good comparison review and discussion 👍
very useful comparison. thanks :)
Great content. As some point some people just look at the latest spec but i feel great value and practicality takes acute minds.
You rocks
The new battery life is amazing. When I used to travel before Covid, I do editing on the go and it's nice to have good battery life in a light package. I don't have to lug a large notebook whilst on the move, but have the option to power up when back with an external GPU.
The video I've been waiting for!
I'm more interested in ryzen 6000 for the iGPU. When I'm on battery I don't need the dedicated graphics eating power, but having the extra iGPU performance is very enticing for some casual gaming or ligher CAD work while away from home.
I honestly see more benefit to have the Igpu, than to not. It helps with diagnostics for one, gives you access to way more ports for more displays. And you can get in some off the side game or render time. Hell. Modern APU's make for great little MAME boxes. They run just about anything.
This, I want to know the U series igpu performance
@@JustIn-sr1xe Intel CPUs have an iGPU too. The UHD630 in my current laptop actually pulls its weight on battery as well.
@@dutchbro2387 Something like a 6600U should have something like 8-10CUs at lower clocks. Performance should be markedly batter than Vega, but likely power limited.
Why not get a MX570? A Ryzen 6800U laptop is going to cost $1500 at the very minimum.
Always love your content. Your team remains one of my favorite channels 👍
Excellent review. Hope you compare the new x13 2023 when they are available
Thanks for the nice comparison! I want a convertible with good CPU performance but also with a good efficiency. Today i'm not gaming (i have selled my GTX 1060 for 1 year because i got nearly the same price like i had bought it in 2016^^), but in my study i'm programming in C, Matlab and Python and i'm using simulation software like LTspice or i'm using other engineering software. I's important to me to get a small and powerfull convertible, so now I have booked the Rog Flow X13 with the 6800HS but without any dGPU. I don't like the gaming design, but the X13 is not so excessive. HDMI for expanding the display in the office of my institute or the USB-A for a lot of measurmentperiphery is also import for me. I hate to be in the laboratory and suddenly i notice that i have to go back into the office for the adapter. (Sometimes i will need a ethernet adapter). Additional the X13 is now the first convetible with a Ryzen 6000 yout can get in Austria. Also Asus has anounced, that the lefth USB-C connector has hardware specs for USB 4.0 and they will bring a softwareupdate, so i will get 40 Gbits (Thunderbolt 3).
Maybe the components in the X13 could be more optimised for efficiency, but it's an gaming machine so i think Asus has slightly optimised the system more to performance but not to much, e.g. it has LPDDR5 instead DDR5 like the G14. Maybe in static idle and browsing tests it will not be better than a 1260p but in real working flows e.g. when webex and onedrivesync is running in the backround or if you are coding or building a simulation model and frequently you are starting to compile or to simulate then i would like to think, the Rembrandt is much better than AlerLake in efficiency! Additional the RX 680M has more performance, there is an 120 Hz touchdisplay with 100% RGB and 500 nits and the cooling system is for an 13 inch thin convertible really good. Currently i think the X13 is the best all-day and all-purpose convertible you can get. You have to consider that the touchpad is not so big, but a little bit you can compensate it with the touch display. Please consider, now the OLEDs are comming. They are really nice, but consume up to 50% more battery then IPS models.
For music production and live performance, maybe for 3D rendering too, I think the most important thing is single-threaded performance plus RAM amount.
In that regard, I think the new CPUs are worth it.
For live performance I have my skepticisms. I feel like more reviewers need to start testing LatencyMon to test whether it can run a keys rig on stage
Ryzen 6000 has no IPC improvement over Ryzen 5000.
Tiger Lake or Alder Lake. A well tuned i7-11800H could in theory beat the 5900HX with an easy adaptative undervolt, and the 5900HX is faster than the 5980HS.
No IPC increase from Zen 3 to Zen 3+.
The i7-11800H is a very efficient chip too, colder than the Alder Lake mobile i7 and uses less power. It seems like the HP Omen 17 does a great job keeping the i7-11800H going strong in a cinebench R20 run and can beat the 5900HX, both CPUs at stock here.
@@saricubra2867 the 11800 even beats the 6800h but the 12 gen 12500h beats even the 6900h. And got better performance overall for cheaper prices !
I5 12500h has higher single and multicore performance. Than the 6900h and 6800h For cheaper prices !
I saw this video and realized I hadn't seen one of your videos in my list in months. I looked at your videos and you're are still putting videos out...youtube just isn't showing them to me.
As a Houdini user I can't love the inclusion of it in the benchmarks enough!
Rare to see such an apples to apples comparison for laptops! It's tough to say when such a fine tuned comparison with so many of the side variables eliminated will be possible again. Fantastic content Eber.
I guess that's one of the few benefits of manufacturers not changing the chassis design between generations.
just curious what kind of page did you use at the chrome battery life test
if you run it at some highly optimized sites, the browser will just fetch most of the stuff on it's cache (not running as hard as the first run)
running new pages or clear the cache will make the browser to make new connection to fetch for stuff
it will be closer to real life scenario
I'm missing the details from USB 4 and Bluetooth LE 5.2, because connectivity is a factor regarding laptops. True that there are no available devices supporting these so far, but it would be nice to see what to expect from these.
Love your videos can you compare the flow X13 to the flow Z13
Nice review and holy c*** I cannot believe you are at 1.7 million subscribers, I remember when I was in the first few thousands.
Congratulations you're my favorite reviewers review on UA-cam.
Thank you for watching 👍 yeah pretty insane at the sub number.
-D.
@@HardwareCanucks You are welcome Dmitry.
Really looking forward to the R5 6600U for a new work laptop. The Bulldozer APU Dual core just isn't doing too hot as of late.
Also, A53 and A73 review hopefully???
As a student that has to work on the go from time to time while doing normal coding, office and cad work I was looking at the x13 last year. Availability was a problem here. I just got to look at the 2021 gtx model in a store the first time a few weeks ago and wanted to pull the trigger right away. I thought the panel brightness could be better... now that the battery life and brightness of the screen improved I want to buy the 2022 model. Currently I can't buy a model with 3050 for a reasonable price here so I have to wait again.
Great video!! Makes so much sense and also being able to get such a great discount on last year's model is a bonus!!!
To me, the newer laptop is better for me thanks to MUX switch
DerBauer did a video discussing AMD SmartShift which only activates when there is both AMD CPU and AMD dGPU .... I would like to see an addendum to this video detailing the pure performance improvements observable between the AMD+VEGA and AMD+RDNA2.
But for those, who work often outside the 2022 Model is a huge upgrape because of the 500 nits screen
Hi! Can you do a bench comparisons for ssd read/write for the two x13s?
Thank you very much for this comparison!
I was thinking about which version of the flow X13 to buy. For me this showed that the new 2022 models are worth the premium, even if it's 500€ by now.
I actually just ordered the 2021 Supernova model with a €600 discount vs the 2022. I’ll be very curious whether I made the right decision or not, but the discount was just too steep to pass up.
@@shonen84 I personally really wanted the brighter display. 300nits is just too dark since I often have pretty direct sunlight on my desk.
But it's a good laptop either way.
i got the model of inbetween i guess, since it has a 5900hs and a 3050ti, though i might upgrade to the x16 soon
I'm actually impressed that Ryzen 6000(6900HS) actually improved upon the best 80W R9 5900HX without any claimed 'IPC' improvements.
Plus battery life is crucial in laptops, and that hasn't taken too much of a hit, Infact it's the same, same good.
Better!
But way overpriced ! Just like with the 5800x3d 😂
Battery life isn't crucial in gaming laptops. Never seen anyone gaming modern games on battery
You can buy one of these x13 models with last year's processor and an RTX 3050 TI according to the link given in the description so I'm a bit confused about the graphics card portion of this video. Were y'all not able to get that version of the x13 for testing?
Could you guys please take a look at one of the new watercooling laptops like the XMG Neo 15 2022 or the Eluktronics Mech 15 G3R?
Thank you. This interests me, in my case I'm using a 5800h, on a 3070 based laptop. So essentially, it just isn't worth it for me to upgrade anytime soon even though I am in fact a heavy CPU user. Mainly because I usually am plugged in. I really appreciate these type of comparisons. I might revisit this depending on the capabilities of the next generation of GPUs paired with this new generation of CPUs. Specifically the PCIe bandwidth can be important to me. As to why I have a laptop instead of a desktop, other than at the time I bought it that were really no options for desktops, I travel a lot I need something that can be portable. So in my case, you've given me what I need for my next purchase decision, which is probably going to be another 6 months to 10 months in the future, given the information you've given me here
A one generation upgrade is pretty much never worth it. In this case, it's more like a half-generation since 6000 is only a refresh of 5000 (Zen3+ vs Zen3) and even the "new" 6800S dGPU is only equivalent to the 3070/3080.
When is the flow x13 2022 coming to Canada?
After a year, the best thing just came up to the Flow X16: USB 4 functionality. I could use RTX A5000 eGPU with it without issue. Just a workaround of the keyboard driver to make the replicable issue away.
i don't know if this is a good place to ask this question but since i know you've been using the asus g15 2021 model i have a question. have u experienced audio crackling (music & videos) and overall laggy system while having the laptop on battery power??? it's an issue that has been driving me crazy and not heard much of on youtube reviewers...and if so, did u find a fix?
I think the main point is there is that USB 4 support, there is mini PCs that have that USB 4 and can be useful with eGPU. Or maybe the small hand helds gaming like Ayaneo 2 that can use that. there is a mini PC with Ryzen 9 6900hx and it's around 650 usd, but it does have that USB 4 and would be great to pair it with eGPU, there is cheap docks for 130 usd on AliExpress with Thunderbolt 4 too.
That light battery test result has really put a spanner in the works for me.
I was considering the G14 instead, but other than the bigger trackpad, matte display, and 2280 SSD... I can't see a reason to get the G14.
If you tune g14 you can get similar battery life
Dont trust this guy battery life test, it is totally unbelievable and have nothing to do with reality. Tests are made in favor of laptop manufacturers. My ASUS Rog flow x13 with ryzen 5800hs can last up to 5 hours (barely) with the CPU turbo boost turned off!! and his showing 10h... what is this bullshit test, I have no idea. Propably a new Asus will last up to 6 hours of normal use. Don't trust those tests, "page refresh every 15 seconds" lol. Buy laptop for 1200€ to refresh web page every 15 secs lol. am begging you to do a test with a running binance application with 6 open crypto charts, you will get real times of using a laptop ... Hardware Canucks please explain if this battery test is trash and why it is
Nice video. I do agree that it is very annoying when manufacturers do not put their high-end GPUs with lower-tier CPUs. LTT already did a video explaining how you do not need the high-end CPUs at all to get higher fps. You may get more, but not a noticeable amount. Of course, the CPU would have to be something 6 cores at 4ghrz or higher to really work. 4 cores are trash in 2022.
Naw the real problem here is that 5000 series laptop prices haven't really reduced, they just charge even more for the 6000 series. I'm personally waiting for Lenovo to release a 6000 series Legion 5 Pro in hopes that last year's model comes down in price.
Better battery life and far better integrated graphics. This is big step up from 5 series for ultrabook and similar laptops. Gaming laptops don't care about either of those two improvements, so depending on your use case this is great upgrade or no upgrade at all :)
I just bought my flow x13 2021 last week and was so happy cause I really liked the laptop. It's so fast and sexy but after few days later knowing that the latest gen CPU is coming for this laptop I became sad cause I wanted best and latest performance :) Thanks for this video I really needed this comparison now I think I made the best choice for cheap price and obviously I have RTX 3050 variant. Though the battery life is not good on mine while the latest one has significantly better battery life but most of the time I play games so my laptop gonna be always connected to it's charger. Thanks Hardware Canucks ;)
If you bought it from best buy, you should return and get latest gen
@@Hamox No I'm from Bangladesh and I bought this from biggest local laptop reseller shop from here. Btw thanks for the info.
If you're going to be playing games, then any laptop is going to have poor battery life.
@@tams805 Yes but for general use like using laptop for study in university on battery, The battery life is important.
Windows 11 is the biggest culprit to poor battery life on the flow 13. Some users claiming 4 hours less than before. Stay on windows 10 for as long as possible.
Aside from battery life, the 680M iGPU in the 6000H series Ryzen CPUs is a real attractive add. Sure, in a gaming laptop that's usually less important. But considering the 680M iGPU trades blows and can even outperform the 1050ti mobile GPUs, it's not something to ignore. As new thin and lights with the 6000H have come, and they are some really nice productivity machines, that can still hold themselves well in some fairly demanding titles.
The real argument is, "Do you ABSOLUTELY need to pinch those pennies?" Because if you have the budget for the newer machine, it's worth it.
Did Best Buy really rise the price from $1599 to $1799 for the 2022 version and think people wouldn't notice? 🙄
They did! I believe it could be coming from a shortage in parts from China. It'll go back down hopefully soon.
5800H is still pretty dang good. But in the US you could really only find it with a 1650 and not a 3050 so no RTX/DLSS . Those metal frames are the best though
You can find it with a 3080.
Look at Eluktronics Max 15.
i7-11800H is a better processor in the HP omen 16, on par with the 5900HX, faster single core, no thermal throttling in a cinebench run (source is notebook check), undervolting and partial overclocking support also helps, plus RTX3060 mobile. It stays colder than the 5800H too, 144Hz screen.
It can be way cheaper.
Can you suggest a gaming laptop that can run programs like premier pro, after effects and 4d programs also? I have a budget of around £1500/2000$. I’ve been debating getting a new MacBook Pro but the gamer in me also wants to play (with good specs). Any tips on what to buy is hugely appreciated. I already have a decent PC back home in England but now I’m currently living abroad I want a laptop I can both game and work off.
As an owner of the 2021 X13 with a 5900HS that also came with a 3050ti but never got the XG Mobile, the upgrades to the laptop are neat, but getting the XG Mobile next would be the better upgrade. Now I'm just wondering which XG Mobile to get.
How's the performance of the 3050ti in your laptop? I'd imagine you'd get frame rates closer to the newer model than last year's GTX 1650 equipped laptop
@@Beegstation I love it. It's so tiny, yet it feels faster than my huge Razer Blade 15 with a GTX 1070. It's probably the same performance but everything feels smoother on the Flow X13 and enjoy using it more. Not to mention that the Blade has like 1 hour of battery life now...
Get rtx 3070 xg mobile, 3080 is waste of money as you get barrely better performance in much higher price. Watch xg mobile 3070 to 3080 comparision, there is one on youtube
Would appreciate if someone could make a video about Thunderbolt 3 / USB4 support on Ryzen 6000 Laptops. One of the only reasons I'm interessted in this generation.
Agree! I want USB4 on ryzen
Working in IT for a Game company, Performance is a factor, but the major factor is supply. a lot of the high end gaming laptops that we use are considered EOL and the disturbers don't carry them. Even if we wanted to still buy the older model, we can't.
The USB 4.0 alone is a big enough deal for me to go with AMD 6xxx over 5xxx, because USB 3.x doesn't have any Thunderbolt interfacing, but USB 4.0 has TB3. That opens up a LOT of dock options that simply are not possible with USB 3.x. Not just due to bandwidth differences but also capability differences. For me namely around mutliple-display outputs over a dock that actually use the laptop GPU (APU?) and not some shitty USB GPU in the dock itself (which always runs like crap). I really think that Hardware Canucks overlooked this noteworthy aspect!
Nice overview....but you are missing the other upgrades that Ryzen6000 comes with.......DDR5 support......USB4....PCI4...etc
I always get a question with ryzen 7 6000x series when compared to 12th gen Intel i7 chip laptops in this situation does the ryzen 7 6000x series laptop will last battery life?
Did you see any difference in fan noise, while office work, or igpu gaming, and 3050 gaming? this kind of loudnes is very important for me
can you do the same comparison with the U versions?
I also wish to see more mid-tier 6 cores AMD and Intel CPU in more budget friendly thin and light gaming laptop.
Any idea if the rog flow x13 6900hs is good for music production? I mainly use ableton/fl studio with vst such as omnisphere/keyscape/kontakt libary
Missed the mark on this one mate - the point of Ryzen 6000 is the iGPU update, and is aimed squarely at the budget gaming market of laptops without a dedicated GPU. If you are buying a gaming laptop then yes no need to look at these.
Although 6000 series comes with various new things like PCIe4, USB4, DP2.0, WIFI6E, RDNA2 iGPU. I think these are just filling the issues with 5000 series. And AMD should still keep prices low such that one can get 6800h at price of i5 12600h.
i think the brighter 500nit screen is a plus too for the new version
I think the amount of power we're getting on today's CPU's are more than enough. We surely need to focus on efficiency so that we can good battery and not a battery that can't even go 2 hrs on performance mode. What you guys think comment down
down
I bought a laptop rtx 3060+ 5600h to game and trust that amount of performance is good enough for 3-4 years
@@JavierB0616 yes 3060 will surely give you atleast 4 years of smooth gaming experience

I agree, in the gaming universe at least. There´s no reason to game with the top CPU´s... However, there are some uses that need a lot of computing power from the processors... In my case, I work with tons of data science and probabilistic models that take WEEKS to analyze in normal CPU´s. Of course, the difference between a regular processor from previous generations and the newest will probably not reduce WEEKS to HOURS, but I think they´ll improve significantly the efficiency of a workflow from very rigurous tasks like are mine.
here in the netherlands the old g15 still costs alot. is that because of different supplies?
That red pcb brings back memories 😍😍
The situation doesn't seem great in the UK considering there seems to be no stock of any ”good” 2021 laptops... nevermind at these discounted prices that US/Canada seem to get so frequently. Sad times
I think your point about rarely seeing lower end CPUs with high end graphics is good, but I would like to know the opposite too: where's my 6900HS running without a discrete GPU. While I greatly appreciate the new IGP it's performance is pointless unless the CPU is put in laptops without discrete.
Please make intel 11th gen vs 12th gen video version
I would be curious about timeline performance between 2022 z and x13 maxed out both in davinchi resolve. What do you think?
.
Does 2022 X13 has the sames issues with 2021 ver where if you use third party charging adaptor it will imit you to 65W max?
So it comes down how to the price difference between the two. If it’s a big gap, go for the previous generation. If it’s small, might as well get the newest one. This is probably true for most people and their general gaming mix with productivity uses.
But if you want especially the improved graphics power, go for Ryzen 6000
Interesting that the Flow X13 gets much better battery life in light loads compared to the Zephyrus G14 2022 model (16:37 vs 12:21) despite the G14 having a much larger battery. Aren't both models using the 6900HS?
I guess because the X13 is running at a much lower wattage, but there's no reason that the G14 couldn't lower its wattage to match it...
@@tams805 iirc you can lower the tdp through asus software. But you also need to take into account, larger screen, and more extensive cooling in the zephyrus model.
This battery test is inaccurate for a number of reasons. Power of dGPU affects battery and the 6800S compared to 3050 Max-Q is more draining when in idle. G14 also has a power-hungry 14" QHD display and its CPU is tuned at a higher cTDP, compared to the X13.
"Real" battery life for G14 and X13 are 6 and 7 hrs, according to Ultrabookreview. HardwareCanucks' battery test serves as a comparison benchmark, not real usage.

Kinda interested in the 2022 X13 with IGPU only.
Just wait for Zen4 or buy last year model (with price cut). If you buy 6000series, you will envy the improvement when Zen4 released for laptop while already spent a good amount of money.
If you are looking for a new Ryzen labtop I would go for the 6000 one. These labtop gets really good battery life. I would not upgrade though to a 6000 from a 5000 or 4000 series. Just wait for the 7000 series labtops to upgrade.
The battery life is like 4 or less hours while gaming. I think I averaged 2.5-3 hours before reaching 25%. It also get's really warm when the GPU and CPU and charger are running heavy, making my keyboard not function optimally (lag and ghost inputs like this: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, after I press the key of course).
This is cool and all but like, none of these laptops are available in canada and wond be for a while, gen 4 might even be out when they drop
I’ve been in IT since the 90’s and I never heard of Xioxia
what is wallpaper site he mentioned somewhere ?
is the 1200p 120Hz still avilable?
Where is Tiger Lake on the comparisons?
I'd get the 2022 X13 for the better screen alone. The faster RAM, better battery life and CPU bump are bonuses.
A portable laptop that comes with a stylus, you can take notes and draw on the go, go home and play games or play yu gi oh on the go, this is like the perfect product for me. Too bad it's so dang expensive.
I’m happy with my 5800H wish it had a mux switch
CS:GO benchmark THANK YOU !
finally one reviewer with some brains as everyone alse are making reviews with some games nobody gives a shit just to have them made.
BIG BIG THANK YOU FOR THE CS:GO STATS!
I wish they'd completely remove the dedicated GPU because the iGPU is now more than capable of light gaming without the XG Mobile unit. That way they could feed a little more power to the 6900HS and make it even more capable.
So hard to see those stats which each time laptops names are shuffled.
Hi hardware Canucks. Is it worth to spend extra $72 dollar. To get asus zephyrus 2021 model with ryzen 9 + rtx3070 against zephyrus 2022 with intel i7 12gen + rtx3060.
I returned my 2022 Flow X13 for the 2022 Zephyrus G14. The slow 25ms pixel response time of the X13's screen makes motion look burry and awful to my eyes when gaming, even when just scrolling the web. Unless you really need a 2-in-1 touchscreen laptop just get the Zephyrus G14 and be done with it - it's only 50$ more and much better in my opinion.
P.S. The XG Mobile dock is just as much as the X13 laptop itself - terrible value for money.
I prefer the X13's size, form factor and weight. It's about half a pound lighter and almost half the thickness. Makes me want to use it anywhere and G14 seems to want to sit on a desk.
This was for the 4k 60hz screen I hope. The 1080p 120hz should have 3ms if I'm not mistaken
I wouldn't buy one with an rtx chip. Just the igp. Question is, what would the difference be between Vega and rdna2
680M is about twice as fast as full 8CU Vega. 660M is about equal, half of CUs are cut off. Also only 8-core CPUs(6800U/H) have faster 680M.
I want to see the new RDNA 2 laptops.
All i want to know is if rdna2 can play triple A at 60fps on 1080p.
Interesting how so many UA-camrs are now talking and advertising Kioxia.
The best thing is i can't afford any of them but i can see them in youtube
AMD nailed with this processors series. 5000 series procs were already powerful, but lacked battery rational consume on low performance tasks. Now we have it ALL. Thanks AMD. Thanks Asus. Go h*ll the other manufacturers for not launching more laptops with this proc.
I want to be fukn winner...goty
Give me time, they're still optimizing their laptops with this processor. I guess
Ok battery life is nice but imho people swapping to the 6xxx line are people who want the much better integrated graphics. It would be nice to see 5xxx graphics Vega compared to 6xxx graphics RDNA. For me THAT is the real gem. Nice video though but results are as to be expected.
The new ones are worth it solely because they come with mux switches. Everything else is just a bonus.
Not gonna lie it’s finn and jake that got me clickin
Too bad that the Ryzen 5000 laptops are still holding their value (in my region). Its just that the new ryzen 6000 and intel 12th gen are exorbitantly expensive now.
In India, 6900hs powered flow x13 has not arrived yet. I am confused when it arrives which one to go for..the last year's or the new one. Also pricing will play the most important role here
Yes. [Based bearded man picture]
You covered it well at the top of the video: The generation differences are really more about ports, screens, and battery. These are the areas we're seeing a lot of change between 2021 and 2022, and they're likely the driving factor behind spending a premium amount on this year's models - much more than CPU performance.
Alder lake H is better than Ryzen 6000 in Perf per watt based on the graphs. Interesting!!
