Thanks for this review (long time i was searching for this exact comparison on youtube vids). Exactly like you, I've been more than hesitant for a while between these 2 (as their both amazing). Ended up getting the Asus (mostly for the durability of the build I guess), but in any case hard to tell which one is best. I think either way it can't go wrong ;)

honestly i got my asus still and sending my lenovo back due to the battey and the asus still last longer on a charge even thou it has 13900h rtx407 0 it still out beats the slim pro 9i 16 in battery if yu got the new asus its still 6000mhz and the lenovo doesnt support pen i do like the lenovo but the battery kills it and am use to oled am thinking of getting the proart studio book the new model 13980hx rtx 4060

How are the ergonomics with the raised keyboard after a few hours? It looks like a gimmick and actually more stressing for the wrist :/ Apart from that the zenbook looks amazing

There not bad it's like typing g with a desktop keyboard raised I like typing on it just depends on a the person

Hey! Thank you for the unbiased review. It's great that you can get up to 6 hours of battery on the Slim pro 9 model. I was worried that it would only last up to 2 hours. If I'm planning to use it for Chrome browsing, do you think I'll also get around 5-6 hours?

[@arnulforamirez4836]

i think you will just calibrate the battery make sure you update everything drivers and apps i also left mone in battery saver mode ran fine and fast charge it all the way and let it get 2% and charge it and extra hour without using so total of 2 to 3 hours to calibrate

Good stuff! How does the fan noise and thermal performance compare on these two? Also, is there enough of a difference in build quality to where you would say it would impact long-term durability (I'm talking 4 years +)?

[@arnulforamirez4836]

thermals are good on both they get a lil warm but not anything to complain aboiut or to be concerned about fan noise is not noticeable unless to game or doing heavy task even then there not super loud the asus has egornomic keyboard which raise when opening up the screen which helps with airflow so no jet plane noise there both durable the pro 9i does have screen flex but the asus is solid no flex and the asus is honestly bulit way more durable and you can tell once in your hand but both are right on par love them both but for some reason i love the lenovo and but the asus come with a mux switch and the lenovo doesnt but overall there both great you cant go wrong with either one
