Every new Asus notebook from Computex 2024 - they did it again! 

Ayo is the GOAT of laptop reviews. Looking forward to your Zephyrus g16 reviews

Same, if the price is right it might be a great allrounder.

yes im in love with the new design, xd

Yeah, they did a great job "toning" it down a little!

@@NotebookcheckReviews it's listed at £1500 right now on ASUS UK with 16GB ram, 4060 and a 7745HS so I hope that's wrong. Edit: normally TUF laptops are £800 - 1200

Yes please! I would take one too! :D

Agreed, 60Hz 🤢🤮

120 is just as bad as 60 once you're used to 360

​@@deluxebulls5939and what is 360hz good for scrolling and playing csgo

Agreed, they are always trying to do something different!

I have a 2023 X13 and G14, although they are close, you can see the difference in screen size, X is using a half size USB C square, instead of the mini brick if the G14.

Agreed, I am really curious how that Ryzen is going to perform.

All I just need is good port selection and RAM and storage upgrade options And you have me sold

Cannot agree more the 4080 has more vram and comes with a vapour chamber

Does it have the same garbage cheap 3rd fan? if so then hard pass

It's very nearly a perfect dev laptop for me but the RAM is soldered and I want 56Gb or more

You are right about the P16, which is basically a G16 with a higher-res screen and a black chassis, but the PZ 13 and PX13 are vastly different from the flow line-up.

Looking forward to seeing the Rog Flow get the AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370​ treatment soon!

RAM is soldered because these 7500mhz and higher speed isn't possible with S0-DIMM LP-DDR5x. We gotta wait for CAMM2 coming next year which will solve this to a point. That is if OEM's actually use it.

I think it is quite a bummer as well; then again, last year's panel had the "grain" from the touch layer, which I haven't seen on the newer panel ...

Same!

XG mobile is dead. No one is gonna spend $2000 on a XG mobile 4090 e-gpu only to have it offer 4070 desktop performance. They got rid of the XG mobile port in the Ally X. That proves its not coming back.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts about the P16. It looks and feels awesome, and the screen will be amazing for anything color-critical. However, I also feel like it is held back by the missing higher-end GPU options. You can get it with 64 gigs of RAM, though, which is a big advantage over the G16.

Yepp, that would have been a good compromise!

Apparently they are trying to change things up, and there are a lot of regional differences with warranty support. So, I would not completely disregard them because of the ongoing discussion.

@@NotebookcheckReviews I’m not, a lot of my non-MacBook choices happen to be asus. As long as they show willingness to improve I’m happy

I do not think 140W would be enough for that one, and 240W via USB-C is not possible proberly yet ...

@@NotebookcheckReviews Sure but I still would have preferred only 100W total system power and only use type C because it means the type c probably won't have charge pass though so using it will damage the battery.

@@frowningboat8039 The new Zephyrus g series has passthrough. Also there's the HP Omen Transcend 14 if you really want USB c charging, but that thing won't charge if the charger is under 140w for some reason and it's among the weakest 14 inch gaming laptop because of the lower wattage needed for USB c charging. Otherwise check out the Framework 16

​@@NotebookcheckReviews I wonder why they are not using industry standard Barrel jack instead They always try something special just like their XGmobile connector 😂

That's a good question. It might be something for next year, and the Zenbook Pro 14 is still a perfectly capable machine!

It is definitly not "the one" for all sorts of content creation application, which really is a bummer, since they have been quite close ....

I can't shake the feeling that most of these companies want to be like APPLE, when their customers are yearning for the opposite. These are supposed to be Windows-based workstation PCs, man! Quit selling upscaled content consumer ware to us.

@@NotebookcheckReviews That's sad as I felt they were moving in the right direction, considering how innovative they've been in the last couple of years. It feels like they've consulted a banker for their decisions on this, rather than ask creatives.

@@NotebookcheckReviews Love your work, by the way. I discover your channel a few months back and it's been my go-to concerning computer tech reviews. Keep it up 👍🏽

Why? Did soldered RAM ever failed for you?

You could also argue that they are one of the few companies that still tries to do something new instead of refreshing the same notebook over and over again! Have you had any issues with their warranty before?

​​@@NotebookcheckReviewsmy gf has, they charge for replacing the battery (because it's died & the laptop works only from power) during the 2 year warranty period.

Unfortunately we do not nknow yet!

I would not go that far; if you are almost 100% into work, you will appreciate 120Hz or more, but you really do not need it. I am sure Asus would have included a faster screen if it had been cost-effective or available to them. It is not like they can go out there and make their own OLEDs ;)

Drawing is so much nicer on 120Hz screen.

Unfortunately not ☹️

I am sure they will.

Very much!

I think for now Camm2 is just to expensive to make sense in a notebook.

Not quite ;)

Lol Asus had a 14 inch gaming laptop with the ASUS G46VW 11 years ago. Alienware had the Alienware 14 in 2013. They aren't new. They've only gotten thinner and lighter and more powerful over the decade.

It's thicker than the A14, but not by a lot.

Have you had any first hand experience?

@@NotebookcheckReviewsyes with a laptop. Broken hinge and ASUS made it a ridiculously painful process.

ok

Yepp, it sure is!

@@NotebookcheckReviews Since you are at computex, please ask asus for a scaled up px14 from the px13 with a 3k 120hz oled panel. That would be my perfect laptop to fit 100% of my use cases.

@@TheJjjoj yeah, 120+ would've made me insta-wait to buy. Rocking the G14 '24 and it covers most all my use cases, but 2 in 1 functionality would've been icing on the cake.

Right?! Can't wait to try it for real!

I think it is a given for now, that we will not see any new mobile GPUs this year.

I am not sure if the ongoing discussion about their warranty problems is a global problem.

Unfortunately we do not have any release window information!

It's available for preorder in the US Bestbuy

Best Buy elite member, so I’ll get it if it’s asus or not

Are you talking from personal experience?

@@WarAlex16 Me on my way to tell you, There is no Best Buy in Europe. The best Warranty Service in general here is Amazon, because they know they don't want to hassle around with European Law.

@@NotebookcheckReviews Seen live this year, how in Europe a Czech Asus Service Centre is literally handing out replacement "new" hardware that is obviously used, damaged and not functioning to its full capabilities. Also sold 2 Motherboards to a RU-vidr who were "new" but in reality in unboxing, you see thermal paste remedies etc. That is just totally unacceptable. On the States side, they have trouble with Warranty Service charging the Customer with high ass prices for things which weren't the issue in the first place and aren't worth the repair.

That really depends on your use-case and budget.

What would you like them to change? Apparently they are listening to feedback, so if you have anything in mind, now is the time to talk about it!

No, I would even go as far that it is the almost perfect sweetspot between size, performance and build quality.

@@NotebookcheckReviews true. I'm hoping to replace my xps13 9300 and I think that is around 2.8 pounds? So 3.1 pounds for such a large laptop might not be too bad actually.

Haha I did not bring them all the way to Taiwan, but borrowed them from Asus!

@@NotebookcheckReviews i meant reviewing it in your hotel room while carrying your camera, Razer Blade in a backpack is hard to move around when you people surrounded at computex

ok ....

Amazon in Canada has a 4080 & 4090, quite expensive though.

Haha, well that is what I'm here for ;)

It wouldn't surprise me if Nvidia is charging so much that most laptop makers are choosing to only go up to a 4070 so they can keep their laptop prices down.

Apparently, both the 4080 and the 4090 need different motherboard designs, and I can only assume that only a few people buy such expensive notebooks. So, it might not be economically feasible for Asus to invest in the R&D to make it work.

@@NotebookcheckReviews makes sense, although it still sucks that the 4070 is so cut down that past 90W TDP isn't a factor anymore.

Sure thing, thanks for watching!

Somebody can tell the future here ;)

Our tests did not reveal any problems, quite the contrary with solid speeds and stable transfer rates!

The problem with the whole discussion right now is, that it is really hard to get a scope of it globally.

@@NotebookcheckReviews yeah, I agree. The things I’ve seen/read were in the US primarily. I’m based in UK. However, the situation in the States makes it seem planned & systemic, which makes me believe it’s a corporate thing, & therefore global in nature. However, it is hard to tell for sure.

It is hard to really get the scope of it, without any reliable data. But I would say, once again, that is has been made a much bigger problem on the internet than it is in reality. And I would say there is a huge discrepancy depending in which market you are in. But then again, I never had to RMA something with them myself.

I get the appeal, but I still think not many people would buy a gaming-branded product without a dedicated GPU. But I might be wrong. Apparently, XMG is launched two new models which should fit your needs. But I think they are stuck at Hawkpoint and Meteor Lake for now!

@@NotebookcheckReviews What I'm asking for isn't that exotic. You guys have reviewed the HP Victus 15 FB0354NG for $645. Well, that has an RX 6500M in it. Guess how many GPU CUs it has? 16 All I'm asking for is a 2024 model of that with a newer graphics architecture. Strix Point has the same number of CUs as the 6500M - but it should perform even better because it will have access to more RAM and have latency benefits due to being an APU. If you don't think about the hardware norms, but instead think about the performance bracket then it's just entry level 1080p gaming. How is that niche? That's the volume share of the market! I'm not sure what the point of AMD rebranding their nomenclature was if not to highlight that these APUs are powerful enough to stand on their own two feet. What? The iGPU gaming performance is good enough to show off on stage for a premium thin and light that we should be happy with... but there's simultaneously no way the performance is enough for entry level 1080p gamers in a normal sized laptop? Huh? How does that make sense... I get it. We're not used to thinking about APUs as sufficient for gaming, but brother - we're there if you don't care about cutting edge settings. People are broke man, an option like this would be a great alternative to console gaming. I just don't know who to explain this to that would care to take the idea seriously. Thanks for the heads up on XMG, but I seriously doubt their Strix Point laptops will be price competitive.

Absolutely! It is one of the most beautiful laptops I have ever had in my hands! I can not wait to see how that new Ryzen performs!

They usually do not do anything at Computex.

Wait what's the refresh rate of the a16

Like max refresh rate

Well, there is still the A14. I would say the A16 is still portable enough. The screen goes up to 165 Hz, very much like the smaller 14"

Ok thank you

Are you talking from personal experience?

Its been a while! Welcome back! :D

@@NotebookcheckReviews im back 💙

Very much!

Interesting ... not sure how I would think about that. On one hand, it would make the Flow much more capable; on the other hand, it's great because it is so incredibly portable.

I wonder if the make it more "mainstream" like the A14 as well. Oh wait they just did a 14" Nitro, did they not? www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Nitro-14-gaming-laptop-launches-with-Ryzen-8040-GeForce-RTX-4000-and-120-Hz-QHD-display-from-EUR1-399.825433.0.html

wait whaat, how did i miss this

:D

Why is that?

Your loss

And yet the apple chips have been there for 4 years now and increasing year to year. Can’t wait for actual apu/gpu competition to catch up so we can ditch the whole nvidia scum shit

That would be Strix Halo later this year or early next year which will have 40 gpu compute units and up to 128gb of RAM. That will make them 2.5 times as powerful as these Strix point chips which have 16 compute units.

Yikes, somebody does not like NVIDIA ;)
