This is not easy to move again windows but I i did it right And iam a apple fanboy 😁 but I am using windows. And it was soo much crzzzzy and thanks for fun...😊
I switched from an Intel based Macbook Pro last year to the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED Space Edition. Aside from all of the windows bloatware, it's been a really great switch. I paired it with my existing egpu which holds my RX6900XT, and for gaming that's been nice. I also continue the legacy of dual booting my main OS with Arch (BTW), and given Mac machines underlying architecture and not being able to support Linux, save for Asahi Linux, I can't do that anymore. I will say, battery life on my Asus machine is absolutely horrid, but if I need portability, I'll just take my iPad mini or M2 ipad pro with me on the go. Which bring me to the ecosystem. I have a secondary Android phone for work, and having to use Office365 across the board is made much easier by being able to integrate across all devices regardless of OS. I could talk at length about this but Overall, I've taken to the switch pretty well, though if an M3 macbook air gets released, I might just get a secondary laptop. Because why not? Right?
In 2020, I bought a Lenovo Legion 5 with a Ryzen 7 4800H processor and an RTX 2060 and I couldn't be more happier with it, however, the new Apple Silicon Macs kept winking at me until I bought one a couple of months back. I now have both and I love the MBP: is a beautiful laptop, the software situation is now more or less fixed and the screen is gorgeous, however, for what I do I feel it still falls short, especially because of the RAM situation and Apple's stubbornness and sheer greed to charge outrageous prices for upgrades and I'm seriously considering returning it to get that money back and MAYBE, when M3 comes out, explore again the possibility of giving it another chance. For now, I'm still pretty happy with my Legion as I was able to upgrade it to 32GB or RAM and put a 2TB NVMe SSD, on top of the 1TB Samsung EVO Pro that came wit it. Also as you mentioned, the software situation on PCs has gotten better, particularly with Windows 11 and I feel like now more than ever, having a good-spec PC is worth it.
I tried at least 3 times to go back to windows but definitely I can't, All the windows laptops screens sucks, (color, sharpness and contrast, no gaming hz) im a photographer and developer, always come back to Mac (im a .net developer, so weird jaja). btw, I freaking love the color palette of your videos :)
As a dedicated MacBook Pro user, still I grew up using Windows XP, Vista, and 8. So I'll always have a warm spot in my heart for the Windows platform and I still like to see the latest offerings ever once in a while. This looks like a solid laptop for heavy usage. I can even see someone being able to do some gaming on it too
I did too, a couple of months ago. I switched from MacOs to Windows 11. Apple Ecosystem is brilliant, but I was feeling a bit claustrophobic. The ipad, iPhone, macbooks were becoming too pricey for me, and the specs were getting very poor. I think Nvidia RTX was the one that gave the final push.
I'll be honest, I loved my HP Probook - build was superb and it was a nice laptop. After switching to M2 Macbook air, every windows laptop now seems... not really up to the standard. It's like you can't have the whole package with any other laptop at the moment - the power, the battery life, the build quality, screen, touchpad - everything in one small and thin package.
i love the content that you create. It makes me feel like Im keeping up with a friend and their daily life as a content creator. I hope you continue to progress with the success you have been having!
Good to see you trying out Windows again. I had too much hassle and issues with Windows 10 lately therefore I have gone full Linux Mint for development. Only docker desktop makes me headaches.
ive tried man but just work wont allow me to rock a full linux setup I need adobe and stuff :/ beeen loooving the WSL config tho. I have it on my Custom Machine too
Use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, is the most stable, lightweight and less bloated version of windows, for comparision just in RAM usage in my old Asus VivoBook 12G RAM: w11 38% usage idle, windows 10ELTSC 23% idle same software installed with no tweaks at all just stock config
My personal laptop is a 2020 13" MacBook Pro (the last Intel one), I have a gaming PC with a Ryzen 5800x and 3070Ti (Windows 11), and my work laptop is a mid-range 15" VivoBook (Windows 11) with some kind of a Ryzen cpu in it and a 1080p OLED display. The VivoBook honestly impressed me, given it isn't really a high-end laptop at all. I work mainly in .NET on back-end, but do a little bit of front-end work in React here and there. Battery life is pretty good considering how demanding my local environment can be and how much needs to be running, though it throttles the clock speed pretty hard when unplugged (only Apple Silicon really seems to avoid this, in fairness). My only real complaints are the screen resolution (1080p doesn't leave you with much screen real estate), and the trackpad is nowhere close to as good as the one on my MacBook Pro. Otherwise, it's super solid. Windows in 2023 is not the same Windows in 2008 that pushed me to get a MacBook in the first place. It's stable, performs well, and the interface and general quality of life features are way closer to macOS than ever before. Little things like searching for files in Explorer still bug me (macOS searches take 2-5 seconds, Windows searches take 20 seconds to multiple minutes), or dealing with driver issues as Windows Update and Asus' own MyAsus don't always seem to get along out of the box, but this is still incomparably better of a situation than it was 10 years ago. Would I switch my personal laptop out for a Windows machine next time around? Honestly, no. I still prefer macOS for anything but gaming. But, I'm not gonna be the guy telling people what works best for their use-case or what they should like.
this video was totally unexpected, watching this on my Asus vivobook s15 OLED and never felt so good about my decision to go for this instead of macbook air m1.
I have a Windows Desktop and a M1 MacBook Air, so I always have access to it with Parsec(Unity's remote desktop/cloud gaming software) regardless of which laptop I am using. 😵💫I don't know why I am so enamored by this idea, but it feels like I have both the efficiency/battery life of the MacBook and the power of a windows desktop the only caveat is the wifi stability.
Great video bro! Love the whole vibe of your channel. I switched from a MBP to a Galaxy Book 3 Ultra. I prefer Windows generally. It took a while to get used to this keyboard setup and trackpad placement, but now I am used to it, I absolutely love it. My Mac doesn't get used. I also have an iPhone 14 Pro Max as well as S23 Ultra. I go between the two, but when I'm using the two Ultras, it's completely seamless - as good as the iPhone / Mac combo.
I've been using windows since I was 3. Right now I have 3 laptops at my home. 1 from HP, 1 from Acer and 1 From Lenovo and all of them are doing pretty good. I use the Acer Swift 5 and it is a really nice laptop. The connectivity between windows and my android phone is awesome. But, since I've also got an iPhone(which is my main phone) I'm planning to switch to a MacBook so that I could get more efficient.
Im using iphone for years now, and i tried to switch to mac, but i couldnt. If you use laptop for your work and you used a windows your whole life its nightmare to switch to macOS, it was for me at least. I bought macbook air m1 and sold it after few days. It just doesnt work for me, windows is like my homeland. But it is just because software, hardware wise i would take macbook any day of the week over any windows laptop. But yeah windows operating system is where my home is. Im using onedrive to sync all my files with iphone and it works flawlessly, onedrive app for ios is a very very good app, it work with no mistake. Butt i definately miss macbooks battery life and trackpad which doesnt even have a competition in windows world. Good luck to you trying macOS, i hope so it will suit to you better than on me
@@vladedivac8916 Thanks for your wishes Sir. It did suit me quite well. I bought it last week. The 15" Macbook air M2. It's a savage device. The hardware is awesome. My friends told me that the softwre switch was hard so I watched a quick beginner guide. Now I know enough and it works flawlesly with the rest of the ecosystem that I already have. And I keep learning new things every single day about the device.
I'd say Windows 11 is one of the best upgrade that Microsoft has brought to the laptop world. It's way more stable and mostly get all the features that it used to lack in the past compare to macOS
For someone like me looking to upgrade to a newer laptop for Development and Some light gaming. Reviews with such details just makes it easy to decide. Love the vibe of the video aside from the tech specs.
My working station is Winodow based Laptop (Surface Pro 4) and at home I mainly using Apple Mac Air for entertainment and watching streaming and using my RTX3800 and i5 Windows desktop for gaming. It really depends on what are you going to do that for, each OS have it pros and cons and don't mind switch it around.
I actually own vivobook 14x oled but with ryzen 5600h and rtx 3050 ti, been using it for almost a year since I traded my asus tuf f15 (which happens to also have an rtx 3050 ti) with vivobook 14x oled and it’s amazing. Screen is amazing even though it’s only 90hz but the colors are wonderful. I use it for UI/UX design, lightroom, and I even game with it. Downside, besides the 90hz screen, is the storage. I got the one with 512gb, so I had to take the additional 1tb ssd from my previous asus f15 and used it as an external storage.
Chanced upon this video as I am about to make the switch from mac (mini m1) to a windows laptop. As a huge content consumer (netflix, youtube, disney+ etc) OLED is a non-negotiable. Plus my husband prompts me to get one with a dedicated GPU. I’m so excited to get a vivobook soon! Great video btw!
please dont get it. It gets incredibly hot. When watching videos like this, always check the description. This is a sponsored video. When under immense workload the laptop cannot handle the heat, and will need a cooling pad or really good cold conditions. But the palm rest area does get uncomfortably hot even for light tasks. Avoid intel products if you dont need Thunderbolt ports. AMD is much more efficient. I have used Vivobook and it was one of my saddest purchases
Tbh most of the people who are "software developer" nowadays don't develop any software. All of their works are done at very high level with java script and ruby etc and most of them don't even deal with any low level stuff for like that and for that any OS would be good enough for most people for web development. Each OSs has certain advantages and for windows it was good enough depending on what kind of development you're doing but after they added WSL2, yeah it was a game changer for me.
While looking for a laptop before going to college, Macbook air and Omen 15 were my first choices. I like the look and feel of a macbook, but not being able to game with my friends has always been the edge factor. So went with Omen. Its been pretty good, but what windows gaming laptops lack is the battery, heating issues, and runs like an old truck when not plugged in. Well cant be helped in this specific gaming/work laptop sector.
Oh man, I don't know why but your Visual Studio Code Color Theme is so interesting for me, can you tell me what is your VSCode theme? & also, your channel is favorite for many technology lovers. subscribing your channel is like have an adventure to tech world. I enjoy your videos every time especially when I'm so tired. thank you for creating great content. we love u ^^.
I was loving WSL2, but eventually I realized "it's time for real Linux OS". I wasn't satsfied with its memory usage and GUI support. After switching to Linux, and finally getting DaVinci Resolve Studio to work, I don't have any more reason to use Windows as daily driver OS. (In fact, Resolve was the reason I bought Windows in the first place. I was Linux user before)
In need of laptop aesthetics. Plenty of desktop aesthetics. Need to compare Asus Vivobook, HP, Lenovo Think Pad, MacBooks… etc and not for gaming but reliability & work culture.
folowing your example and rocking both : Iphone and 2 laptops - one Rog Zephyrus G15 for gaming and developing and the Mac Book Pro & Iphone and watch just for the flawless ecosystem. Docker seems to have some perks in windows that do not happen in mac os for me
Was really tend to get a Windows Laptop for my business (coding and IT Consulting), but the hardware prices and poor standby let me tend towards a M3 Pro for about 2k€
i have a similar version of this laptop (the one im typin gon right now haha) and i absolutely love this thing, i have a ryzen 5 5600h and an rtx 3050 along with 16GB ram and 512 ssd the display is 144hz and the whole thing is pretty smotth and the fun part is that it cost me aboud $850 so definitely a great laptop :)
We need a video for whats its like to have the samsung s23 ultra with the macbook. That's my setup but im curious to see other's setup and how they use it.
Good video :) Interesting to see how the windows world has evolved .. nevertheless, this computer surely does not make me want it compared to my mac ! i think macs are miles ahead :) but it's just my opinion ... and it's good that everyone can have a computer for his own tastes :)
Hey! I just wanted to if you're still using it and how long the battery last for watching and normal media consumption? How long it lasts for software uses as well? Thank you! I'm planning to get either the r7/r9, 3050, 2.8k oled version or the macbook air m2 15" base model.
The fact that you choose Vivobook Evo instead of Zenbook Evo is interesting, considering the level difference between Zenbook and Vivobook is a bit huge. Ps: Both are manufactured by Asus
I had the Asus Vivobook S14 with an 8th gen core i3 and 4 gigabyte ddr3 ram but sadly i did not had such a great experience with it. It kept having blue screens and the batterie wasnt able to survive 7 Hours of school even on the lowest settings. The screen was ok, but the speakers on that one made the case vibrate on full volume which crated a sound. Also i had to replace it 2 or 3 times because the touchpad died. In december 2021 the laptop refused to charge and also the case broke. At that point, the screen only worked at certain angles because the cable connecteing it to the mainboard was broken. Also it did not have an HDMI or displayport but only a strange version of HDMI that you needed an adapter for. When it broke i lost all data on the laptop but i did not have anything importand on the SSd but my school notes for the first half year of 10 grade, i did not miss anything of that and i later found out that i also savend some of it in a cloud. Would that have happened to me one year later i would be fucked up because the last 2 schoolyears in my homecountry are relevant for you getting the Abitur.
dayum dude sorry to hear .. weve all had our fair shares of bad experiences with laptops.. I used to have a lenovo and broke on me when it had a final semester project in my first year or college.. my macbook pro 15" also over heated and burnt some keys so the keyboard stopped working.. nothings perfect :/ Sorry to hear bro
@@andresvidoza also my Ipad Keyboard (the Ipad 9Keyboard from Apple) broke. The Ipad sometimes doesnt recognise it as an Apple keyboard and says its incompatible. This leads to the keyboard beeing unusable until you reconnect it. Also its falling apart. Like you can see the inside of the keyboard. And sometimes if you press a Key, it just starts spamming it until you press it again or reconnect it.
Hello from me too, the presentation you made with ASUS was very good, I'm from Europe where can I buy it? thank you, I see that Amazon doesn't have it yet! thanks
The only major downside to Windows Laptops for me is the simple fact of battery life. but for when i need windows i use parsec to remote from mac to my home pc :p
Great Video ! i have questions 😁 , is it good for all kind of heavy work such as Mobile development ? And also i want to install a Linux distro to be my only OS , is it compatible ?
that's one long ass promo. It's amazing how you managed to fill 15 minutes with absolutely useless information that has nothing to do with switching back to Windows as an OS and still make an ad for the laptop.
I have a windows HP laptop (8gb ram). I wanted to edit videos and the laptop couldn't do it so i bought a M2 pro mac mini. And it's awesome but.... i still like windows a bit more. But the mac is very useful and edits videos like a champ
@andresvidoza I think I'm just used to it more. Used windows all my life. Only time I used Mac was a couple years in high school in my videography class but I did love macos when I used it editing videos in premiere pro. So I decided to get a mac to edit videos, trying out final cut pro and DaVinci Resolve
Hey Andres little confusing for me, this definitely A great laptop for students as well as for editing purposes, but i find one more laptop as same like this Asus vivobook pro 15 OLED having a graphic card and good amount of SSD and ram, with ryzen 7 octa core Amd R7- 4800H ?
