      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.

      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

    $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.

    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.

      the macbook wins in terms of your need also it has better build quilty
      however macbook is bad in terms of repair if your warnty is out plus it will thermoal throtle not much tho since your need hardly hit the limit
      the thinkpad is also great and both asus and lenovo have ssd upgrade unlike macbook
      if you want to pick the best one see videos on cam quilty which ever wins mostly mac does but consider this
      if you want to buy macbook see the storage and ram and understand that they are not upgradeable if your okay with that then go for mac if not then check for the quilty and microphone of asus and lenovo and put in mind the cpu-igpu gen
      for examble ryzen 7 7730u is 7000 cpu but it is zen 3 archtitc which is used for ryzen 5000 but ryzen 7 7735u is a zen 4 with much powerful igpu and cpu
      since your programing conisder the specs if cams are close enough
      one thing in terms of keyboard and trackpad mac wins easy since they use glass not plastic and their keyboard is soild
      my recommand is go for mac if your apps works on it and you understand and okay with the stoarge and ram config

    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.

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.

    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.

      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.

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.

    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!

    Hello Josh, I have never seen you review workstation laptops such as 'HP ZBook Fury 16 G10' and 'Lenovo ThinkPad P1 G6'. You include expensive Macbook M3s in the tables, but you do not include workstation laptops among the best laptops. I would like to see this type of laptops on your channel in the future. Also I would like to see your review of 'Asus ExpertBook B9 OLED', every laptop reviewers say very good things about this laptop.

    4:57 so why does it have usb 3.2 gen1 instead of gen2 like last years? Were you able to test to confirm?

    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.

    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.

    Actually I bought Asus Zenbook 13 (2020) even for my Wife for University and general use. The small formfactor the small weight and overatll good performance is made it really great choice even today.
    Only complain is the fan noise :S
