I had too high expectations for this processor
Ya its better but its not as good as I thought it would be either.. the Integrated gpu though is great
Intel arc is not a dedicated GPU? I thought that it was.@@MatthewMoniz
@@martinmiranda4315 they have Intel arc dedicated GPUs and integrated GPUs.
Same
@@martinmiranda4315Arc is just a name for Intel GPUs, both integrated and dedicated, same as Radeon for AMD.
Tx Matt 🎉
You're welcome!
WTH, I just got an Asus Zenbook 14X (Q420) the one with the i7-13700H but only integrated graphics card 4 days ago. I had been making the decision to get this for 2 months and now there's a new Asus Zenbook 14 with the new Intel ultra chip. When is this laptop gonna be available for the consumers? I think I made the wrong timing especially I also want to do medium gaming on a laptop but I don't want to compromise the display, portability, and the design. AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH
Intel ultra is barely 6% faster than last year's Intel. It's marketing renaming crap
How is the battery life on your laptop? I'm thinking of getting the exact model
@@sonamanukyan3410 it is okay as long as you don't do heavy tasks. lasts me for about 3 - 5 hrs in regular use like browsing/ watching/ writing text documents.
intel 14th gen naming convention of breaking it into meteor lake (new process) and raptor lake refresh (updated old process) really reminds me of what they did to their 10th gen cpus (they broke the 10th gen into ice lake (new process) and comet lake (updated old process) cpu's which was really weird), if i should use the 10th gen as a frame work then maybe 15th gen would be a hit as they optimize the new process
would this be okay to use with solidworks or cad softwares? its a hobby that may be useful to get back into i just want to see if this will be able to use in the future
I hate AI. Companies abuse the hell out of the word. It's meaningless. When the fans on my graphics card from five years ago claimed to have AI control, I thought it was cute. It would ramp up when the temps rose and ramp down when they dropped. It's a fan curve with a glorified name. Now they are literally throwing the word AI into everything and it annoys the hell out of me. 20yrs ago when you manipulated a photo digitally, it was called photoshopping. The same thing done today with an easier user interface and simpler controls is somehow called "AI" now and it somehow also has the power to destroy the world. I honestly think the night light in my hallway that turns on when it senses motion is some truly advanced AI about to murder me when I'm not looking. Must have an NPU inside.
I mean, it's in its initial stages but it will be useful. Do you not use ChatGPT? What an amazing invention it is. AI can be used to enhance everything, your video, your audio, your browsing experience. Right now, some of the use cases may not be as polished or may be limited by our hardwares, but these will become part of our lives soon.
I disagree that the apple m-series is easy to understand. What do pro, max, and ultra even mean? These chips can have differences in core counts that aren't reflected in their names either. Are you buying the 11-core or 12-core m3 pro? 14 or 18 gpu cores? There's nothing in the naming scheme that would tell you what it is you're actually buying. Then the machines that they put them in make it even more confusing. Air, Pro, Pro Pro, or Pro Max? How many cores, how much ram.? ..it's not a good naming scheme at all.
The regular M3 is for the avg consumer, the Pro is ofc, for professional individuals who need a little more power, the Max is for the absolute power user,
and lastly, the Ultra is the best of the best, smth that a huge professional studio would need.
@@nileredsexperiment834 Max means maximum. Maximum means highest or furthest extent. Why would anyone assume that ultra is better than the thing that literally means "the best"?
That's not even getting into the variations within each "strata". The pro, max, and ultra have different sub configurations that the naming scheme doesn't take into account at all.
Are you serious 😂😂😂😂😂
@@nileredsexperiment834 Apple's naming scheme is more consumer friendly and dumbed down, but it gives very little information. Intel and AMD's naming is very technical which is more efficient in professional situations like IT or manufacturing. If you've ever had to search for parts, a well-informed naming scheme will save you the time and patience otherwise spent digging through datasheets for every part. While it is definitely overkill for like 99% consumers nowadays and just makes advertising harder, it leaves no room for error like ultra vs max or cpu/gpu core counts.
Basically both naming styles have their pros and cons, I'm just giving perspective on why a stupid hieroglyphic could be better.
The hate for these 14th gen laptop cpu's is criminally over blown, the majority of people on windows laptops are using 2-3+ year old laptops and if you're upgrading from one of those the difference is stellar, its a transition from how intel traditionaly does cpu's and it could take a couple nore generations before it pays off. That being said if you have any greivences with the new lineup you should still be vocal about it, they've been comfortably behind on effeciency for way to long, plus they're billionaires so fuck em lol.
Always love your videos. Great job Matt.
Thanks again! I appreciate it
Not sure why you're comparing a Macbook Pro M3 to an ultralight laptop, it makes no sense to compare them because they're not even in the same class. Compare an Air M3 next time.
It’s a base m3 the same m3 that will go into the Air next year. Not an m3 pro or m3 max. It totally makes sense to compare it.
2023 version had a DDR5 slots. Now, it's gone.
I'm planning to buy zenbook 2024 model with i7-155h processor. Would you recommend buying this? Or would suggest anything better than this at this budget. I though of buying Vivobook s15 Oled i9. Can I prefer this one comparing to the vivobook?
I got the Ultra 9 185H version with 32GB of RAM, I love this little thing.
What did you bought
@@mohit5165 I ended up buying lenovo legion 7 pro
How does it compare to the Lenovo slim 5?
Witch one you recommended asus zenbook 14 i5 8giga ram 512 ssd / dell Inspiron 2in1 13gen 16 giga ram 512ssd i5 , zen book is more cheaper in uk whit 100£ i will be using school/work as well
3:10 Yeah it's probably Adobe hahaha. Premiere Pro is a hot turd.
LOL
@5:33 productivity just 6-7 hours of battery life? That's terrible for a 2024 product! Hopefully it's just not optimized yet.
For a laptop with 3K 120Hz HDR600 Nit OLED Touch display? 7 hours is absolutely groundbreaking. Trust me, my current laptop with the same OLED screen gets 4.5 hours of battery life on a last generation processor.
This same chip in a laptop with 14" 1920x1080 60Hz SDR300 Nit IPS Non-Touch display would easily last 12 hours. And I believe ASUS does sell that configuration.
The first M powered Macs couldn't run Premier Pro either, it's probably a software issue not a hardware issue.
DaVinci works fine. But ya it's most likely software.adobe is always terrible
You can't compare an m3 pro to this Asus... The price gap is enormous between the two
i never compared an m3 pro to an ASUS.. I compared a regular M3.
I just ordered the zenbook 14x oled ux3404, with the i9 chip, 32 gigs ram, 1000 gig storage, and the gtx 3050. All seems well aside from people saying the battery life will suck because of the 3050 and that it will be noisy. I am only going to be using it for university work. I have a 30 day return policy on it, can someone who has the laptop tell me if it is worth buying? I got an open box deal for $1800 Canadian.
Mediocre Lake 😂
Omg I was just looking for a Asus Zenbook 14 review and this video popped up on fyp 😂😂😂
I knew you were looking so I made the video super quick ! 😂
Imagine if m-
Why every one compare M3 with Ultra 7 155H and not with Ultra 9 185H which is more better. Would love to see Video to show this compare
For basic use, no gaming or video editing, do you recommend the Asus Zenbook 14X over this new 2024 version?
Please don't praise Apple for their naming scheme for their M processors. When they advertised what Intel CPU they had they just put their base clock and i5 or i7 only.
Slow gaming FPS on cold starts then suddenly getting much faster is almost always shader compilation.
i know it won't probably get answer but hi
recently i bought asus rog strix g16 (rtx 4060 fhd 144hz display)
and there's deal with same price on asus tuf a15(ryzen 9 rtx 4070 qhd 165hz display)
the tuf has one less fan and im not sure does it worths refund and taking 4070 and qhd over build quality of strix
my concern is thermal and there's no review on that a15 configuration
any thoughts?
Tuf is cheaper build and breakes earlier than ROG. Tuf also has less battery life which is the worst thing I have faced
Pretty sure strix has a full plastic build and both have 144hz display ,so if you are gaming u can go for the tuf
These new 14th gen laptops will be the end for the M1 MacBook Air! The iGPU capabilities on these new CPUS are going to render the GTX laptop gpus obsolete.
I wouldn't go that far they're only as fast as the Rx 780m definitely much better now but more of a catch up
I like the call GPU naming. Indeed, beyond reasonable. Just ridiculous
Solid review, Matthew! Especially testing the AI features! Also, THANK YOU, for showing a clockspeed run test, really useful. Did the tests hover around ~28W for most of them? I'm not really impressed with the performance, although I do appreciate we now have light intel laptops that are efficient. Also, think these would be great alternative for lightweight content creating laptops on Win especially with Intels Quicksync for media.
You're very welcome! Yes it would hover around 28W even when gaming I think you can see it when I play overwatch
@@MatthewMoniz Aw, egg on my face, I I didn't pay attention whoops srry
@@NootNoot.This is 155h there is also a i7 165h maybe that's better
So intel created a new chip that is worse than amd's older chips. LOL
what would be the battery of this laptop on light office tasks, multitasking, watching netflix and some coding ? can it get to around 10 hours of usage
i have this one. Battery unfortunately miserable. Barely you can expect 3 hour for lightest internet browsing and youtube
But the company claims 10+ hr battery@@vitaliygordienko1261
@@vitaliygordienko1261There should be no way that's actually the case right??? Otherwise it would just be a straight up scam?
I'm confused... The BB link you provided and other pages I checked claim the screen can reach a peak 550-nits of brightness. Which one is it? This is a deal breaker on me getting this laptop or not, as the 400-nits on the M1 MBA was one of my very few complaints.
😢
A new bios update is available from Asus. Makes the cpu performance go even higher.
Ya I'm testing it now. Definitely a nice difference.
Do you believe we must see a outperformance of 2024 model over 2023 in the future?
they need to make these naming schemes WAYYY more simple to understand. or make sellers put clockspeed benchmarks in the name
Why does windows laptops have stickers? I hate it so much
Im going to give the benefit of doubt to the chip not being optimized. Adobe products crash often no matter what system you are running. they shouldn't be charging for subscriptions in my opinion. M series is still king though. Intel had a head start, they should be way further ahead than apple.

Wow so late to 7nm Intel. Still suck so much batteries than other cpu. Intel suck Apple is already at 3nm and AMD is not too far off and in fact 7nm is long time ago and its old news for AMD now at 4/5nm.
People get confused after looking at benchmarks about what's happening under the hood. For the example: export times are faster in m3 vs intel but everyone forgets that export task happens between cpu cache (intel) and ram (third party) and blaming intel solely for this sounds unfair to me when they don't have control over third party peripherals.
Lower performance iGPUs are placed in SOC to reduce die area and cost which gives users an opportunity to spend extra on dedicated graphics. Smaller die area is generally sought out by motherboard manufacturers for developing smaller form factor (again for cost reduction). More room available for NPU.
Other challenges include support for legacy hardware and OS (windows and linux distros) which makes optimization bit more complex and hurts performance vs apple with less overhead. Point to apple as they work closely with software developers for better optimization and that's the benefit of smaller overhead.
Power consumption is intel's greatest challenge which the is direct result of CISC based architecture.
Battery life although is affected by power it still is something that's controlled by laptop manufacturers.
Hi Please compare the difference between H & U series iGPU 155H VS 155U
This is 155h there is also a i7 165h maybe that's better
ya it boosts a bit higher but same core count. There's also a Core 9 Ultra which hits 45W
Tech chap shows 106 single core in Cinebench 2024. I think drivers are not mature and preproduction unit.
Battery life max.5 hours
Modern Intel + Windows = Indian from top to bottom. Hardware to software. What do you really expect? These are legacy companies now under the custodianship of Indians.
This processor is garbage. Shame on Intel for putting out such an inferior product. The government needs to get involved here.. Nice review Matthew.
just bought one, the cheap Mediatek Lan/Blueetoth card broke down and non functional after few days used😡
Adobe is too much bug. I use my pc with VGA, the trouble has appeared, It missed the sound of video. I tried all things but the situation can not be fixed. So, I uninstalled and installed the premiere pro again and the trouble disappeared 😂
Is the acer swift go meteor lake review next?
Yes
@@MatthewMoniz Great! I’m interested in the thermals + fan noise on that one. Also how the keyboard feels to type.
Damn the webcam video quality look so horrible
Ya its not the best webcam but the mic did a great job of cancelling out background noise
I ve got this one month ago. Overal very good for my usege scenario. But battery unfortunately miserable. Barely you can expect 3 hour for lightest internet browsing and youtube
Which version you bought?
+1
It's getting boring that every year there's a new fantomatic new super model.. bla bla bla
Idk clearly intel stepped down from alot of things thx to z1 extreme chip by amd.
Bro literally saying this is only available in uk us sorry to tell high end veraion not available in GCC
cade o glorioso MCP que deve estar com aquela cara de bunda... que so falou besteira da convocacao do Dorival e desdenhando dos atletas que jogam no BR..... ????????????
I stopped watching after 3 minutes as an average consumer this video was not useful to me at all.
Legion slim 7i buy now or what?
That laptop is completely different than the ultrabook in the video.
just got the laptop, its a nice build but my cpu is throttling under 2ghz
Can this be used for music creation and heavy used of Ableton?
why people from eeuu starts their videos with a "SO..."
so zenbook 14 or macbook pro, any thoughts?
Honestly I would compare this to the air not pro, it's really about what OS you prefer
@@Aslam_Aliyurly wish you could just wipe Mac OS off of the Mac and install windows, would be totally sold then but oh well
Mosy consumer electronics manufacturers in the computing industry and verticals are guilty of confusing the consumer on purpose.
This is the greatest sweather i have ever seen!
Haha thanks
Dude was going to buy i7 13700h , but now i think will wait, when is it comming out..??
Meteoric meh from Intel. Apple silicon still is King 👑
Still waiting for Snapdragon next year before upgrade my laptop
Hello sir, i am an college student of computer science,i have some about which is the best laptop for gaming and programing and other things under the price of $600 or can i wait for few months is there any new laptop arrive in the future?
Thanks for another balanced review Matt.
My pleasure! Thanks for watcbing
Why is Adobe premiere acpoint in the benchmarks and why not sql server or any other proprietary software.
So this means the a Razer Blade 16/18 will have good battery.
Also that naming, I said the same thing. Apple did it better
I just got the Asus Zenbook, must say I'm in love with it already. Really good for remote work, much more expensive to get a macbook
As a student would you advise to go for this than the MacBook Air m2 ? what can I expect from battery life and life expectancy of windows laptop. Ive been with MacBooks my whole life.
@@98noir94 Heylo im a student and i got this zenbook a day ago. I initially wanted macbook M3 but after comparing my old macbook and online videos the zenbook has a lot to offer that i exactly want. My macbook got super slow very fast in the last years and i wanted a laptop that i could keep for longer and M3 with only 8GB of RAM would never go more than a 2-3 years and this would cost 2200 EURO..
My honest opinion :) Also the laptop comes with a pencill and everything
@@98noir94 I have the exact same dilemma…
@@98noir94 For student uses, MacBook is better.
@@98noir94mac has much more better battery life. Zenbook lasts 4-5 hours for coding on VSCode and Mac Air more than 10 hours
Does anyone know what wallpaper was used in the thumbnail? I wanna set it for mine 😭
What's the diff between the Zenbook 14 UX3402VA-KM005W and UX3402VA-KM209W?
Anybody want to give me a present in Christmas
What’s the screen size. I’m thinking getting the asus zenbook ux3404 with 14.5 inch
1x HDMI 2.1 TMDS joke
The webcam doesn't seem that good. But that microphone is doing very well indeed.
is the pro model also getting an update?
Yes
When dell xps 13 plus offer this chip am totally in.
Bro why Asus stop Max pro smartphone series
I can't find graph anything about fan noise.
I am waiting for Qualcomm chip
Enjoy the wait as it won’t be optimised on windows and will have the same issues

Between macbook air m2 and this wich one is better?!
The NumberPad is gone? o_O
Meteor lake sounds kinda like mediocre
Matt how's hp envy ryzen 7 7730u laptop?
I liked your sweatshirt
Device drivers are the weakness.
Any word on the speakers on this? Thank you
That HDMI port is almost outside of the laptop lol
In my opinion there is no reason to get Meteor Lake over Phoenix, since they are comparable... And Phoenix will likely be cheaper, especially with the introduction of its refresh next month.
The only reason is they will probably have more options that are actually in stock than AMD lol
@@tjl2836That was always the case till now. I worry that this lineup of chips being rushed, and Intel only having one fab with EUV production, it might become more like AMD (low availability and volume, imperfect software/firmware/drivers)... I will be pleasantly surprised if Intel beats AMD in this WHILE at the same time having a very efficient CPU + a strong iGPU. Competition is good for consumers.
Shouldn't you compare the Intel 155H to Ryzen 7940HS, not 7840U? They are two different classes of chips.
I showed both in the video slim 5 is an hs cpu. the 7940hs is 35w this 155h sits in the middle at 28
@@MatthewMoniz Missed that, thanks!
Sure Intel will give you more battery life. But the AMD chip actually lets you play Cyberpunk or Assassin's Creed as long as you put it on a fan-driven cooling pad.
Otherwise it'll get quite toasty and might shut itself down at some point.
And battery life is great anyway. I like this Zenbook way better than my Asus gaming laptop, which has to go in repair for the second time in the first year!
I would not buy another Asus gaming laptop, but a Zenbook, I would. The giant horror on the new Zenbooks is Windows 11! It'll make you insane and there are no drivers for windows 10, exept possibly in Asus' french office.
bios updates coming...
Thinking of getting this one for my wifey, with 155H/32GB/1TB, 2.8K OLED being the key here as she is into photography and some video editing. Myself I got the EliteBook 835 G10 7840U/32GB/2TB Samsung 990 Pro with FHD which is sufficient for me, but business class matters more, running Opensuse Tumbleweed (linux).
Did you buy it and if so would you recommend?
@@muemmelil Yup, she liked it. Awesome oled screen - she uses it for casual, photo editing and some video. Really good battery life and for for the price I'd say go for it.
@@VicharB yeah I’m probably going to buy the Zenbook next week. I need this laptop for cad work (in Uni ) so I’m not sure if the laptop will suffice. That’s the one thing I’m not sure of, if the integrated GPU is good enough for the tasks I’ll use in my university. But overall, it sounds like a great PC.
@@muemmelil If for CAD, I'll recommend to check more reviews and forums on the topic of 155H/185H with it's integrated, but much better intel graphics, before proceeding with final purchase decision.
Cool top! Original ;)
Can’t really hear the blow dryer
How much did they pay?
Yeah I agree with a change being needed for the cpu naming because buying a "good" laptop is so difficult these days.
where is the pro 14 2024??
Good luck intel👍👍😅
This wasn't so much of a jump. We'll have to wait for the Snapdragon X Elite processor. Hopefully it will bring something.
Nvidia also want to enter the CPU market. I have faith in them but that's in a couple of years
Snapdragon X Elite won't change the fact that Windows on ARM has little software support and a very bad emulation layer.
The best hardware isn't useful without good software support.
You don't think they know?@@marceldiezasch6192
