I've got the AMD variant. It's brilliant and has twice the battery life of this Intel version, not to mention more GPU power! Why on earth would they ruin such a machine with Intel - utterly baffling.
I got the AMD variant from last year, there are a few drawbacks, 1. No USB 4.0 after all that hype, can't connect to external GPU 2. A bit buggy, laptop freezes and to force restart in a few occasions throughout the month. 3. Mouse freezes when CPU under stress. I think ASUS lacks confidence to switch to AMD platform Ultrabooks.
Very good review, but what about heating? the previous 12th Gen 1260p Intel CPU cooked the zenbook and it was unpossible to work with it. How is cooling and Noise? Thanks for answering in advance
Only the reviewers and the influencers have this laptop. Last year mid, July, I tried to get the 2022 version of the laptop in the UK, and no matter how long I waited, it was never in stock. So eventually, I went to its similar Lenovo with a better 90hz screen.
yes ASUS had a habit in 2022 of announcing and allowing reviews of their laptops, but never actually releasing them for purchase by the public. I went for the LG Gram and i'm now converted- simply amazing. ASUS are continue to play games with availability this year too it seems.
@D R I believe from 2023 they use anti reflective displays. The LG Gram keyboard is super, portability is class leading, screen is excellent. It's not a power user laptop - get a Zephyrus or something similar, but perfect for productivity and media consumption. Moderate media creation is fine also.
Was a great video just got to the 7 minute mark when that enter key turned me off the laptop key completely. Probably seems petty but I cant function with half the key missing.
A small request. Please say "Aya Neo" in all of your videos. It doesn't necessarily have to be out of context. E.g. when describing the graphics on the laptop, you could compare it to Aya Neo.
'Puny wee cursor keys' are exactly what us professional users want! I'm fed up with laptop designers choosing form over function, and these half size cursor keys can be found by touch without taking eyes off the screen. Even better if the same keys work as PgUp/Dn and Home/End in combination with the Fn key (which it looks like they do here) The keyboard is arguably the most important part of the laptop, given that it's how users interact with it, so it's a shame most reviewers don't spend more time talking about it
I have the Asus Zenbook Duo and I like it but even though I haven't finished off paying for it I am considering selling it. I thought that this would be the answer until the discussion of the battery came up. It's such a shame as the rest of the specs tick all the boxes for me. It in the end just seams like If I was able to sell my Zenbook duo and bought this I would have exactly the same problem, pretty poor battery.
I'd love to use a laptop like this, but as pointed out, the stupid single row enter key and arrow keys sink that ship. Maybe this could be fed back to Asus?
It's funny how this tiny thing gets 1200 more single core points and 850 more multi-core points on Geekbench than my (former) beast i7-5960X. Also double my c23 single score and actually behind my multi core score by about 700.
Last years version was much more attractive with one caveat. Even a 680m is a much better choice than the horrible Irix grahpics and the new process for the cover might be cool, last years simple design was much better in my opinion. It's certainly AMD's fault that they botched the release of the new mobile Ryzen with RDNA 3 , but a simple refresh of last years model with 32GB would have been a good step until the 780m is available.
just keep in mind if you're doing very large, detailed, or photorealistic 3D work you will probably want a laptop/ computer with a dedicated GPU (graphics processor). This laptop only has CPU with "internal graphics", so not as powerful as one with a separate GPU

There are so many variations and places that do and don’t sell them… ASU’s laptops need a one stop shop for purchase..
Checked a store, ABT. They have this model on order with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD for $1399.99 USD. Very nice laptop! Thanks for your review!
Man, we can get 16GB/1TB version for 1700eur.
Would want way more ram with the laptop.

there is no current amd variant 2023
@@leviathan19 not yet. AMD normally follows Intel, I think - someone will say if I'm wrong 😆
Maybe it is because you are lying about battery life and that fact that AMD only has 10% laptop market share.
@@RK-um9tu lol what are you even talking about?
I'm gonna subscribe just because of your wallpaper choices. Especially the one on 6:24
Asus Zenbook u5302 looked pretty good also. These 13 inch laptops are the best value for me.

I'm in Philippines and last year model is plenty available everywhere.
What model was the lenovo? currently on the market and seriously considering the 2022 zenbook s 13 oled for £900
Thin and light laptops are the future 👍👍👍
Love the oshi no ko Wallpaper my guy ❤
Looks beautiful checks all marks except battery
and reliability too probably ..
Which is one of the most important aspects of a thin and light laptop lol
@@abdennouryounsi9373 why not reliability
Lenovo slim 7 pro seems like the right move
looks absolutely gorgeous...& performance doesn't seem too shoddy either. can't wait to see them here soon. greetings from sunny south africa. 👊🏽🇿🇦
THE POWER BUTTON DUDE, IT'S IN MIDDLE OF F12 AND DELETE WHAT THE F.
I have last year's asus vivebook amd and it is such a great laptop
15 pro?
Thanks for sharing your review.
Tougher than a turkey leg from Toby Carvery had me in tears 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't ignore the wallpaper tho.... Awesome video btw❤
Just hope they keep the price less ridiculous though, the laptop itself should be a bargain buy though. Lovely specs!
Definitely going to cost a kidney
@@olodiandrew219 as expected, yeah? Just too bad! 😪😪
Frfr, I hope they don't try a 1000 laptop trend
@@aaronhotchnerzoltfbi8085 I really hope so but I highly doubt they won't either. It's most likely to cost about 1,000 - 1,500 quids
I saw it's $1400 and £1500
Man!! I wanna know the source of your amazing and seucy wallpapers...
Nice review! I saw all I want.
Was a great video just got to the 7 minute mark when that enter key turned me off the laptop key completely. Probably seems petty but I cant function with half the key missing.
I saw 2 gratings at the back of the laptop. Is this laptop fan less?
Do we know who is developing the oled panel? Is it LG, or a Samsung qd?
I like your all wallpapers. Where can I download it?
I can see OLED PWM right on your video. You didn't mention PWM.
thanx for review
how is it for video editing premier pro/after effect sir?
I've just realized that the lines on the laptop cover were not some random lines, it's the triangle logo of the zenbook blown up.
I absolutely hate the screen extending past the bottom to make its own little stand. That'd feel super annoying on your lap. Complete deal breaker.
No working adult does real work with a laptop on their lap
How does lightroom perform on this, please? Something like 40mpx raws editing.

Hey bro can u tell which one is better overall xperia 5 or lg g8?
Hi Bro, Does it have the backlit Numparpad on the Touchpad?
Is the power button supposed to have very light click sound when you press or is mine just faulty?
Damn, I love that wallpaper ! Great review as usual!!
Where i can find that anime wallpapers? He so good choosing anime wallpapers
@@RX6600-CDPR a little late but he has a YT short showing where he gets them from
the upcoming zenbook s13 oled should be at least 90hz display with the latest intel arc
Just watched oshi no ko, definitely the best anime i watched this year and its just on ep 2 so far!
I see Vinland Saga, I hit like!
Beautiful laptop, always enjoy laughing through your reviews Chris, you may want to try stand up at some point!
So when are all the official launches of the new asus pro books?
What's the refresh rate on the panel? Great video.
60hz
As for April 21, 2023 i just bought Zenbook 4K oled (UX371, 11th Gen Intel®) for the price US$930 at BHphotovideo.
Asus comes in with another banger product, nice
Kinda love it, my go to machine is a Lenovo t480s that gives me 10h plus of battery time though
ThinkPads are awesome!
please.. make a comparison with Samsung Galaxy Book 3 pro ❤

I realized later in audio this one defeats the crap sound of Lenovo yoga slim pro 7i
is it plague with the nasty atrocious moire pattern because of touch layer (aka screen door effect)

Choose amd version
You don't own a Zenbook which is why you did share any actual battery numbers
boss mind sharing where u get anime wallpapers from?
Do a comparison with the lenovo i9 yoga.
Well done :)
Is it good fir pramming?
I like the design beautiful 😍
Please review the Asus Vivobook S15 Oled (S5504) 2023
ASUS. Zenbook. S13. Oled. 2023. Review unbelievable
Fingerprint magnets damn
The batterylife is a deal breaker for me damnnit it had such potential
Check out the AMD variant - has great battery life and graphics power 😁
This guy never uses standardized battery test so why on earth would you belive him?
@@RK-um9tu Fair enough. But I've had enough intel laptops to know that AMD has superior battery life (these days at least) 😁

There is no 250 nits option :) And, of course, never buy 250 nits laptops even for indoor use :) 350 is an absolute minimum.

Yooo you can stand 🤯
Im not sure theyre embarrassed to put their name on it when basically the entire screen rear is covered in the Asus logo.
would it be compatible to run 3d modeling apps?
yes definitely
