Testing the FIRST Intel 14th Gen Laptop! [ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED | Intel Ultra 7 155H] 

I think the largest thing missed here is battery life in the review. The new ultra series Intel processors are supposed to be remarkably more efficient and the largest change should be battery life.

Hey Chaps! What laptop do you use (and will you be upgrading soon)? UPDATE - I'll be testing battery life fully in a future video with a final review sample. There were multiple driver updates during my testing in this video (and a pre-production model), so I didn't feel comfortable giving thoughts on battery. Although I think it'll be fairly similar to previous gen

This is such a great review! The warm, honest, and upbeat outlook makes everything look perfect and flawless!

I'm a big fan of glossy screens, makes a huge difference in visual quality. Hopefully a growing trend

I need the same in 15.6/16" borderless with this awesome 120 Hz Oled touchscreen

This laptop, ignoring the 14th gen is actually really good. I wonder how I haven't noticed this before. This will be perfect for students and it will be a MacBook Air killer!

I'm a Data science Student and Honetly felt very overwhelmed since we didn't have a decent Windows device (I mean overall) and this series seems a decent leap; wished I could get my hands on this unit to try it out since lots of my friends ask me what to buy ( up until now it was MB all the time ) sadly the single core score haven't really changed and not sure if this affects battery or not ( sure if the chip uses less battery it sound like an upgrade anyways but the fact that most of the tasks are on the web nowadays having a single and optimized single core usage will be great!

I was hoping to see some benchmarks on battery. And a fair comparison between Macbook on Battery vs this on Battery

I’d take this when performance is certified stable and in a surface pro 9. I don’t need a space age computer but I do need better battery life! Thanks for this first look much appreciated! Keep the great content coming 👍🏾

Glossy screens can add more contrast for movies but hard on eyes and not as easy to see screen clearly for spreadsheets and word-processing. Touchscreens seem to add more glare. If don't need a touch screen, Dell has non-touch options with screens that are comfortable for long-term viewing and easier to read.

This is i am waiting for, but need in 16 inch with 100whr, and enable open the laptop with one finger, chassis made with aluminum alloy

I think the 2 ultra low power cores when web browsing or watching videos is huge

Hope they release the flip version of this soon. I was going to buy the existing model, but the new iGPU looks great.

I needed a laptop , thanks to you're video i bought thé same brand laptop but with I9 processor . Also thank you for making other tech video's aswell , much appreciate it and love your content. Greetz from Belgium!

Intel’s strategy: first make their graphics processor a total garbage for several years, then the next year they double the performance 😊

I'm looking forward NPU's being fully utilized by software. Image generation is super slow right now with all the processing done in the cloud. You either have to wait in a queue, use daily allotted credits, or pay for a service, which is still slow compared to what we'll be getting on device. I know AI image generating is controversial, so I feel like I should clarify, I've been using it to create a picture I have pictured in my mind, then I attempt to draw it by hand as my "own" artwork. Until I'm a good enough artist to make these pictures without AI, it's been super handy.

When black friday was around I was very close to getting the previous gen version of it since it dropped in price quite a bit. I did some research and saw it didn't really game very well. Now I'm not wanting to play AAA titles on a laptop (I would get a gaming laptop if that was the case) but a laptop capable of at least playing something like Honkai Star rail smoothly.

Watching from a Zenbook 14 OLED with Intel Core Ultra 9, i got 37,000 geekbench 6 gpu test plugged in and 27,000 on battery along with 1600 single core and 10,000 multi core, my biggest doubt was the build quality of the main chassis with the keyboard and trackpad, its nothing like the macbook which was my prevoius laptop but it is still very good and would deffinetly buy again!

Asus are smashing it at the moment with design! I love the look of their new laptops, and those OLED screens 🤤

The main difference between the chip lineup 3:30 - Ultra 9 185H, Ultra 7 165H & Ultra 5 135H are equipped with vPro 'Enterprise' and have slightly higher clock speeds when compared to Ultra 7 155H & Ultra 5 125H

And 155H is successor of 13700H, not 1360P, I know this channel is not Honest anymore, and I guess the last it has been honest is 2 years ago, Dell XPS 12th times! RIP Tech Chap

You got the same tables for Intel U and H series at 3:33..I guess unintended?

Is it good for video editing? Currently looking for a laptop which is able to show good performance in DaVinci Resolve and was wondering if this machine could provide me with that

Great review, The Tech Chap. A lot of other people are having problems with software and drivers. Hopefully things will improve as this processor did not live up to expectations. I have read there is a i7 165h out there somewhere. Cheers.

Would you recommend this over the Zephyrus series for video editing ? How is battery life ?

Glossy screen shouldn't be a complaint considering glossy screens offer objectively superior image quality. And the majority of laptops and monitors are matte so you can go for literally anything else if you want to pay for a nice panel and then reduce its saturation, contrast and sharpness just to make reflections blurrier (but not non existent)

I wanted to buy this laptop, but I read a lot of reviews that it needs to change the thermal paste every month. Otherwise, the processor heats up to 100 degrees and just clicking the mouse takes 3 seconds. It seems I'll have to get an Air 3

Thinking of getting this one for my wifey, with 155H/32GB/1TB, 2.8K OLED being the key here as she is into photography. Myself I got the EliteBook 835 G10 7840U/32GB/2TB Samsung 990 Pro with FHD which is sufficient for me, but business class matters more.

What is the difference between ZenBook and vivobook still don't know the difference?

No doubt about the looks and sleek design.

Does the neural chip help with auto masking in Adobe lightroom? I have this laptop on the way and excited to put it into use.

Geekbench number looks like my laptop based on the AMD 7940HS only the Intel single core number is a bit lower. On multicore and OpenCL they look comparable.

This is a great review so much detail. I need a new laptop but cannot afford this. I have an old legion but it keeps turning it's self off, or restarting. I am in a meeting at work ( I work with terminally in children in my home) and it could just cut out. It is so embarrassing and looks like I have no IT skills. After your review this is my dream laptop. I have decided to subscibe so thank you.

M3 GB6 Single Core: 3138 M3 GB6 Multi Core: 11'889 M3 GB6 GPU: 47704 M3 C24 CPU Multicore: 640

This would feel like it dropped from heaven if this had a 360 degree screen rotation

I really love the 60fps videos!

I'm in the market for a new laptop, and the ZenBook series caught my eye. I was thinking it would be great if you could create a video comparing the various ZenBook variants. Surprisingly, I haven't come across such a comparison online yet. It could be a valuable resource for others like me who are considering a ZenBook purchase.

Love the privacy shutter...i'd like the microphones to do the same.

I love my Zenbook 14X OLED 2023

If the camera is so bad at studio light…. Can’t even imagine how bad it is in the usual room

Thank you for being one of the only creators that i watch who shoot in close to 16:8 ratio

Good initial preview. The availability of Asus laptop models is very shaky, even in the US till date. There models and naming are all over the place. Normally ZenBook's are advertised as having the number pad, and some of the models in US are missing the feature. Also, very recently Costco was selling a similar model as shown in this video but with Intel 13th Gen, advertised as to be having an OLED display, but ended up having an IPS display. Asus has a very good line up of products, but there supply chain is still in the shammers!!!

The very first thing I noticed is the fingerprints...right out of the box 😂😂 edit: I HATE the ginormous stickers these laptops come with. All those specs are already written on the box, or on same spec sheet, or in windows. Why do they keep sticking those huge ass stickers right next to the trackpad is beyond me. And no, those stickers are on every piece, not just the review unit.

I was about to get a Lenovo ThinkPad from my company as we mostly use it, but I managed to convince my boss that I needed a laptop with more oomph. Subsequently leading to my boss buying exactly the one reviewed here. :)

Does the Oled touch screen have the screen door effect like previous models ?

Do you know when it will be available to buy in the UK?

Own one rn, overall games are impeccable with ray tracing, productivity? Remarkable doin word docs with excel and my ptts are so smoth all the same time, video editing? It might be a bit slow but damn i was watching and playing while waiting to export.

wow some review. I love this laptop. I want to buy this one but one thing can i use for vray rendering or lumion?

“And the very first thing you will see is….the size.” Expecting him to say finger prints.

Tom: Would you go for a Macbook or a Zenbook? Cat: Where is my food human!

Waiting to see how the world is going to use the NPU.

Excellent review but you did not say anything about the Battery Life! can you please have a quick continuous Video Play test and advise? thank you.

6:04,why dont you show AMD numbers ? INTEL caught up with AMD this time .

it is like comparing 4 cores cpu to 8 corescpu laptop. Of course there will be double ammount of performance.

How was the fan noise while gaming/benchmarking?

Thank you very much for the comparison, I was waiting for it

I want this : ) only waiting for the i7 version on the market. AND of course no touch screen!

These new integrated graphics are insane! These might make the GTX laptop GPUS obsolete

Why no mention of battery life? Compared to M3? Thanks.

Would anyone recommend it for the developer? I am concerned if the OLED screen will withstand long display hours of static content. Are there versions with non-OLED displays?

I wanted to buy it for mainly watching videos how long do you think the battery stays alive while watching Netflix

I want this thing, any info how well Linux works on it? I have MacBook Air M2 and I love this type of computer.

Asus is probably Intels most important partner. They acquired the NUC business. Make ARC cards. Have a laptop that blows away Apple SoC. Have the best gaming ROG business. What happened to HP???

What I’m kind of surprised by are those Geekbench 6 and Cinebench scores… They still don’t surpass the M1 Max Apple Silicon chip and. that came out 3 years ago…

How about performance when un plugged (on battery)? does it drop significantly just like previous generation?

I was gonna grab the ZenBook 14x with the i5 13th gen, but now I'm thinking I might hold off for the 14th gen. Is it a smart move? 🤔💻

How was the battery life using Intel 14 Gen? Shouldn't it have improved? I guess because of it beeing a pre production no mention?

what is the battery time of Laptop.....????

Which better you think this laptop or Lenovo yoga 9i pro?!

Should I get MacBook Air M1 2020 or asus?

Hi Tom they are not available to buy in uk are they ?

I bought model UX3405MA-BS71T-CB a month ago, and I hate it. I use it for basic office work and it freezes so many times, I still have three days to return it but I don't know what to buy instead, I don't even know if the problem is in the laptop or the network, knowing that I used the zenbook 7i before this and did not face such issues. I can not believe how many times I need to wait to web pages or excel sheets to work. Not to mention that it turns into fire if I am working and charging at the same time. I really don't know what to do.

So it is a paid ad, not a user review... Another wack review...

why aren't there any Ultra 9 185H laptops been sent out to reviewers. company's always show the best chip right ?

What's the diff between the Zenbook 14 UX3402VA-KM005W and UX3402VA-KM209W?

I wait for the HP version, is Arc enough ?

The only problem with zen books is they still use physical touchpads. I can’t go back to using them after using MacBooks. But I now use a Surface Laptop Studio instead, which has a haptic touchpad that is almost as good as the Macbooks!

Does the screen flicker when you dim it down? Not a gamer, a trader, and I want something easy to stare at 12hrs a day. What else would you recommend?

Does it have removable m.2 storage? Sorry is you already said and I missed it 😅

Do you know anything about the ASUS ROG Flow Z13/14 series 2024?

with ugly arrows again..what fingers must to be to use that buttons with comfortable?

Would this laptop be good for Photoshop. I have a macbook pro m2 14inch base and im over apple. I prefer windows

2:49 is that lagging !! To processing the editor ?

3:41 you’ve used the same graphic twice for the u series processor

Does the screen lift up the lower deck when angled to use? I hope not

Any numbers on lightroom AI denoise? Currently that's the main reason I'm looking to buy a new laptop

Somehow I still prefer Levono over ASUS. Hope Asus will bring more wow laptop in 2024. We need more innovative and powerful yet usable products.

❤Hey! Tech Guy😂 how many GB ram & GB PCIe available to be upgraded? Thank you for your regards!👍🏻

3:37 I think those are the same table 😅👀

Looks like very good laptop for ppl who charge their laptops every year 😊

any info whether there is also a refresh model of the 15.6 inch version on its way?

is this with touch screen? In South Korea, it has non-touch screen.

why are you comparing P chip with an H chip ? does both consumes same power ?

Does the USB C port support a second display?

Will the npu help in something like fsr or dlss

Can NPU be used to discover if computer is being hacked? or be used to help a student solve math homework?

what about the most important question of all, battery life? no mention of that

Is this available on Amazon?

rendering videos is a total common usecase for all of us

What kind of stylus can work on this device?
