My Next Laptop! [ZenBook 14 Pro OLED | RTX 4070 | 120Hz OLED] 

I am on Windows because everything is just works as it should like overall windows os is the best for creators and productivity like the best for music production, video editing is the best on the planet thanks to Intel and Nvidia, best for 3d artists, vfx cgi and animation and gaming is like bonus/cherry on top, best for coding as well, etc etc. Best displays, best connectivity, best user experience. I cannot believe how fast windows systems are evolving. Later this year meteorlake laptops on Intel 4 node with L4 cache "Adamantine" with better battery than m2 pro(leaked by trusted leakers), new media engines like and 2 times faster igpu. 13 gen is already faster even running on battery power than m2 pro and max for creative work. Then in 2024, we will enter in angstrom era like Intel 20A node with RibbonFET transistors(GAA) and "power via" backside power delivery, all these tech in arrow and lunar lake laptops. Exciting times a head.

you left out the price sir

Both. I've had an ASUS S15 ZenBook for several years, which my wife is using now for personal use, and it's been completely reliable. I transitioned to MOSTLY macOS a few years ago --- I still have a modest Windows desktop for some legacy apps that can't be duplicated or replaced. My portable computer these days is an M2 MacBook Air.

​@@Dayum62499all have better affordable pricing than macs. Windows laptops provides a lot but costs less than macs. Windows laptops has better value overall considering oled display, way better CPU and GPU performances and overall performance. Thatswhy some 3d artirsts are saying that 1600 dollars is very cheap for RTX 4090 desktop card. This is my point of view. Yours can be different.

Windows, because I do dev, game and content creation. I wish macOS could do it all, bit it can't.

This is why I stuck with my M1 MacBook Pro. Windows laptops have atrocious battery life, bordering on unusable without standby power. They estimate 10 hours but it’s most likely just 2-3.

No ugly bezels on the ThinkPad P1, which is my favourite Windows laptop if you need a very powerful CPU and GPU in a slim and gorgeous chassis. Mine has a 13900H + RTX 4090 with a stunning 4K OLED screen. Just don't expect good battery life, though. Oh well, that's why Apple Silicon Macs exist...

'eople would hate you because of the fan's noise

@@raakaa66 You don’t gotta full throttle it, I’m sure it’s still competent if you lock in the wattage

OLED for editing isn't the best idea tho... especially over time because OLED wears out.

No battery though. Make sure you choose a cafe with an electrical outlet 😅

​@@raakaa66My experience with thin and light that has rtx on it that it only get loud when you do heavy game and that's it. It was 2021 acer swift x, with iirc 40W tdp rtx 3050. Video editing (1080p) and photo editing does make the fan spin faster but not loud enough that you'll notice it, especially ourdoors. But of course it would get warm after long use.

I'm waiting to see what the 16x oled with the 4080 can do aswell before commiting. Larger screen but same thickness and a 4080 in that chasis..

​@@ffvgaming3735 is there gonna be a x16 with 4080 tho?

@cbutters tech What's the price buddy

@@be_mature_ 1799 for the 4060 version, 2099 for the 4070 version (USA Pricing)

all I need 18 mini led laptop fully Aluminum built laptop, wake me up when there is one

Worse than MBP14.

Yeah this fits what I'm searching for too. I'm sure more others will come too though

I don’t think it will be that good in gaming…

@@Xbakulive360380 It's been shown to roughly match G14. It's excellent for gaming.

For what you're describing, the G14 is king

but the capaity for cooling can't keep up

@@Matanumi It can.

Same boat here but it seems like not available in Australia yet. The price of all new RTX 4070 laptops are more than almost double than Legion 5 pro with RTX 3070. This one seems much more protable than Legion 5 pro. I found Legion still quite heavy when I take it to oversea travel.

well actually, for productivity in most jobs, the screen needs to be a matte one. That really helps to be in front of it for ours. So a normal IPS screen with matte cover is the best.

@@tarkgundogdu8940 Matte screen is useless. Glossy is the only way to go.

@@legendfpvHow so? Glossy screen will reflect everything in the room and be distracting

Got to remember this is a sponsored video, essentially a paid marketing vid, look around for unbiased reviews with full stats and testing.

How audible are the fans on idle? How long does the battery last with average use?

yeah you can but the max through thunderbolt-4 port is gonna be 100w so half the standard included ac, usbc is more compact but the chargers at that wattage can be expensive and def look for a good cable but because of the power usage of the laptop 100w isnt enough so you lose battery while charging

That’s why I never trust sponsored reviewers.

This is the Way. Matthew Moniz did a review of the new 2023 G14 and that has a throttling problem when you press the turbo button. But then again, they stuck a 4090 in a 14 inch laptop even though its gimped. Same with the new Dell XPS 15 4070. Way too much for the thin chassis. Just Josh did a review on it and said that i7 isn't a good fit for the chassis. The older model was outperforming the new one.

Like already said, that's why you shouldn't trust sponsored videos like these. He also never said a real word about how this thing performs on battery which is kinda important on a Laptop. Especially when comparing to the MacBook.

@@vongtito No matter what, it's better than the macbook.

I bought one 3 days ago in Best Buy for $999.00. Tell me please about the battery, and fan noise. Thanks 🙏🏽

There is ASUS ZENBOOK 14X OLED

And it's price will match the specs

@@rizdog5735 $2099. Half the price of the macbook pro it beats.

@@legendfpv where is it selling for this price? Can you tell me please? In Europe it's over 3000 euros.

What would you go for then?

@@jamescassar5348 Nothing, they're just talking shit.

Also a couple of Lenovos on my shortlist, but I've seen plenty of quality control complaints about Lenovo laptops. And it's not always about the chassis or some physical flaw. My cousin's Galaxy Buds didn't properly connect with his brand new Lenovo and he had to return it after wasting hours with Lenovo technicians, but his Asus had no such issue (both Windows 11 machines). So make sure you get acceptable return policy and customer service from Lenovo in your region.

I've narrowed it to both of those as well but be careful the Asus Zenbook 14 pro in Canada for example doesn't come with a touch display, which is hidden in their listings.

I was really considering the Yoga Pro 9i too, but found out that it has a low bandwidth HDMI 2.1 port with only 12Gbps rather than the 40/48Gbps standard. It feels like Lenovo is trying not to be super upfront with this. That was my only red flag on that laptop, but was an immediate no-go for me.

@@lawrencechen6067 huh. That sounds super weird, especially since everything else on the machine is super high grade. Whats the point of 2.1 if it's only 12 Gbps? What does that mean in terms of screens and resolution through the hdmi?

@@adamfriisakra7351 I have no idea why they decided to do this - I was really excited about it until I saw that spec. I think you can still do 4k but probably caps at 60hz. HDMI 2.0 can go up to 18gbps, so this is lower which is really weird to me.

Plugged and top perf of course, on battery it works like shit and for 1 hour

Plugged in top perf. Mac is clear winner for battery and off-power perf

@@Thetechchap cool thanks!

which is that, the price ?

@@victormarian7889 $2099

$2,100.00

Zenbook pro 16x oled ux7602, i9 13905h vs rtx 4080 for max option. Don't know the price

16" is too large. 14" is objectively the best size for a laptop display.

@@legendfpv Not if you do After Effects

You can run linux well on a 20 year old machine.

Don’t they have that?

@@blackkingsize no. Still not support dual nvenc but davinchi has

agree

Same. It does my head in when there’s something worth buying but zero way to actually reserve or get updates on it. I even went through the Nvidia site linked in the description and it only has 3050/3070 models.

At least apple's release date covers the whole world. You can hate on apple's devices but one thing they are good at is consistency in releasing products

Same here, was about to buy the G14 but this is better suited for me, but how and when/where can I buy it??

been looking for a comment like this 😫 for now I only use lumion and sketchup for rendering, I dont get most of these tecnic details, but the thing im worried about is the noise and heating, do you think I’ll get those issues with those softwares? I dont think those are as heavy as maya or rhino but still worried ab it

@@coti1468 I would expect a very similar experience to mine. Anything I've done outside of web browsing as resulted in the fans starting to ramp up (I use it in performance mode though). Personally heat was never an issue (I always use my laptop on a desk, never on my lap and with a mouse & keyboard), noise is fine with any kind of noise-cancelling earpod, but you're not in macbook territory that's for sure. TBH if your workflow allows to go on mac, this might be a better solution (noise & heat-wise). I'm stuck with windows because of 3d rendering

i can get one for you. Travelling in June 2023. Ping me if it suits

hi...so do you have any idea as to if or when this will be released in India...??

Plugged in, of course. The way 90% of people use their laptop.

Huawei 16s always cool always silent

I think it has that

I'm fine to sacrifice my screen. The battery is more important imho. It may be worse, but it's still a very very good screen on the g14.

Id choose the g14.

@@sergoz123 Screen is the most important part of a laptop. This one easily beats G14.

Can any of you please tell me if the oled on zenbook 14 pro is better or the mini led on zephyrus or the flow x16.? Keeping aside the refresh rates and all.. considering just media consumption and first the look of it. Hoping for a reply..thanks!

@@ananttomar1865 They're both very different animals. The x16 miniled is much brighter but uniformity is a problem when enabling the mini-led function. Some ghosting as well due to dimming. The OLED is dimmer (550 vs 1100) but has better blacks and is more accurate. The OLED is a bit "grainy", not sure about the X16, it's been a while and I only briefly used it. Both are excellent btw.

Took a risk after reading around on the web - bought a Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB. Works great! Thought I'd post in case anyone else wants to do the same. There's plenty of height in the M.2 socket to accommodate the double sided board.

Same here, except for the fact I literally cant find one??? (Atleast in australia) Literally no listings online im so confused

@@lachlan.mooney same in europe - Slovakia , i dont know if this is on sale...

@@lachlan.mooney Same in US, don't worry. The Asus website is mega trash and everything they have is crazy outdated except for this one laptop... honestly, a huge turn off, and the only places like Amazon selling this laptop are being sold by scalpers at $3500, so no thanks.

Would love to see that as well

OLED vs miniled, OLED wins everywhere outside of HDR.
