Asus Zenbook 14 & 14X - The BEST Laptop to Buy Right Now ... It's NOT even close

Do these have the talk to write feature? Student and just bought the 14 x today from Best buy I didn't check to see if it had that feature. I'm hoping so because it gives me a break from staring at the screen so long.

Asus has a strange design concept.
They will put in a great display and perhaps even a discrete GPU in thei TOP laptops.
Then place a netbook qulaity, unusable trackpad.
Zenbooks have a terrible user experience.

click bait

I enjoy using Paint to create digital drawings of rollerblading penises. Will this device be sufficient for this purpose?

it runs windows, so no there isnt any concern or worry, also the Mac laptop running the M chip and the very little power consumption, doesn't over heat, so no doesn't matter how good the Asus is it's not going to win over a Macbook Air, this Asus comparison should be against other Windows machines

bought the 14.5x at $749.99. love it. you cannot beat the value at that price.
bought it for school going from a razer blade 15, to a dell xps 15, to the 14.5X and getting some money back, and i am happy with deciding on the asus.

Honestly, I don't even know what other manufacturers other than Asus and Apple do anymore. Any Laptop I ever considered buying was from Apple or Asus. Maybe it's just me but most other companies just put parts into a case, whereas these two actually make Laptops. And I'll admit, that AMD processors and therefore battery life is a big part of it. This is also the biggest reason to not buy most Windows Laptops.

But currently apple is a better pick, since M2 chip 8GB is cheaper than zenbook i7 16GB.

Wait does 14x have touchscreen? i have had it for a year now i did not know that

Which one will overheat more? I’m not pushing thing too much but I’m a student and need my laptop to last. The 14x specs are amazing and only like $100 more than the 14 at the moment. Just not sure what is more appropriate for my needs.

He may or may not have women locked up in his basement, but you can't deny he is good with laptops.

cries in european

lie lie lie

I got zenbook 14 oled and it is overheating. it is the worst laptop i had. dont buy this shit.

are they both touch screens?

In Canada it sells more around 2k$ sad, very sad

I'm looking for a new laptop, and I'm very interested in the 14X but have a concern about it not having a dedicated graphics card. I'm an artist and do some photo editing in Adobe Photoshop. I know that on some 14X models they do have a dedicated graphics card but the price range is out of my budget. I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Thank you.

are you even used Asus Zenbook in your daily life? numbers taken from the sky :) i have 3 years in a raw this laptop and used its first generation. So at this moment after 4 hours browsing pages you never get 70% its even not possible in the battary save mode, pure PR

Are these compatible with Linux???

how is apple worried? the asus is hideous

Sounds like a great laptop if you're forced to use x86 (some people are, the poor buggers). The fan noise would make me lose my mind, it's the main thing that's driven me to the Apple M series. Apart from gaming, you would probably get better performance running Windows in the Rosetta emulator on a macBook Pro, but at a much higher price point. I guess you get what you pay for. If gaming matters, this would be a good laptop.

I would love to see a video on "the best large-r laptop that has a built on 10-key"
Also, I would love a review of the Asus Creator laptop, model Q540VJ-I93050

This is really driving me nuts. Since this video, I've been trying to find a good deal for the 14x. Well, it's impossible.
It's easy to find it for $999 on U.S. websites, but where I live it costs the equivalent of $1700!
Also, there are models with higher specs in the U.S. that cost way less than models with lower specs that i can find here. For example, the model with the i9 + 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD costs $1400 in the U.S. and the equivalent of $2400 here!
The difference in price is way too high, it's crazy.

I've seen that there are some services that ship internationally when buying from some U.S. websites that don't offer international shipment (like bestbuy); can anybody reccomend a service like that which is reliable and trustworthy?

I found another model of 14x, which is q420va or q420. I have tried looking up this model but I have not seen anyone reviewing this model beside the Ux3404. So could you or anyone else give some information on the difference between these 2 models, and which one will be the best for me to learn programming, watch netflix, anime and some of gaming.

Excellent review. Does this support fast charging and usb C charging?

I mostly don’t care about the specs - if there is no macOS, it can be as fast / lightweight as it might be, I don’t care. 😅

Windows vs MacOS? Oh, yeah, Apple is in big trouble....lmffao

I doubt APPLE is worried! lol

here in the uk its valued at £1200 (around $1500 USD). Do you still recommend it at that pricepoint?

For the less money, comparing to MacBook Air M1, it will decimate you battery with utterly ineffective power consumption.

If I want a larger screen would the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 Laptop - 12th Gen Intel Core i7-12700H - GeForce RTX 3050 - 1080p - Windows 11 be the best right now in this size?

unfortunately, asus has a big flaw in my opinion with their ports location. having HDMI port on the right side, where you keep your hand and your mouse.

Please review vivobook pro 16x k6604

Thank you for a very good comparison! One thing that was kind of strange is why Apple should be afraid? Absolutely none of the "performance" features of those Asus laptops are not in the same league as m2 pro macbook. I thought there was finally a laptop on the market that I could buy instead of a macbook. But no such thing :( On the other hand, if you have a relatively smaller budget then you compromise in every way - here this Asus will shine.

Thanks for the excellent review. I have an offer for the 14X. But it is offered with an Intel Core i9-13900H. How is the processor different from the i7?

just got 14" m1 pro for around 1700USD, while I am aware that might not be the best value for money for most people. The 14" MacBook pro with apple silicon is literally my dream computer with everything I've wished for.

I just bought the 14x from Best Buy about a month ago. I got the i5 version that was a total steal ~ $449 USD from retail price of $799. I can't stop watching videos on this beautiful OLED screen.

Really well done video!

Can someone highly professional recommend which laptop I should buy for editing videos in 6K or 8K? I have a PC (AMD) but need a laptop. Should I buy a MacBook Pro?

its crazy how in europe the 14x is 2000 euro

Mac doesnt get viruses 🤡🤡🤡

Thanks for mentioning PWM flickering. Its so underreported and for a lot of us it’s a major gamer breaker as it gives major eye strain.

Can you do a review of the Asus ROG X13 flow?

These clickbaity videos are the biggest joke ever. Way to compare Apple's to f'n oranges. In what parallel universe does Asus make those people looking for an Apple ecosystem machine think twice? You do realize it's not just the pure specs right? If pure specs were the sole reason, Apple would barely sell any iPhones, so the question is was this useless video released as satire or do you really think you've discovered something here, cause you've gotta be f'n Joshing me Josh. You still have time to delete this 💩

Great review, too bad Best Buy link doesn't have the $300 discount... wondering how often they mark down the 14x?

No chance he called USB-A a 'legacy' port

And at AUS$2700 for the 14X we Aussies are being robbed blind Josh

i would get a macbook air if it had a touchscreen which i need for work for signatures.

What laptop model would be great for many years of use for a software programming.I’ll be attending a Bootcamp course soon and I thought might as well buy a great laptop and keep it for several years. What laptop would you recommend the 14X or thinkpad 11 GEN??
