This is the first laptop in years that I actually want and it isn't made by Microsoft or Apple.
DIsappointed they didn't integrate the digital num pad on the trackpad that they have on some cheaper models, that is VERY practical
The most important is battery life. Please test it :)
I'll be interested to see how the battery performs, compared to a macbook.
That looks promising so far. Love the pen support and it's nice to see laptops finally going back to full size SD readers, although that's typical now I've moved on to CF Express A in my cameras... Ergh. I love my Acer 16" laptop with a 4k OLED, which is only 1.13Kg, but the build is rough and the heat / noise is bad, so crossing my fingers on this one. Looking forward to your full review!
The way Tom counts the number of holes got me HAHAHAHH
Finally the full size sd card readers are back!! Now I can buy a laptop again 🤩
How many nits of brightness 🔅 does it have?
Can you try some ML benchmarking tools like MLPerf? it would be nice to see how fast this new AI chip at multiply–accumulate operations.
I think it's THE laptop for me, just waiting for it's launch in my country.
Thanks a lot!! After about 3 days of research for a new laptop, I was set on buying the S13-UX3405. However, last night, I realised the screen is even 3 inches smaller than my current laptop. Although using a second (TV) monitor most of the time, I also realised the S13 keyboard is much smaller. There is a lot of other plus points on this model to the one I (almost) purchased, but not everyone here will be interested in the comparison. I do appreciate your review. I'm quite convinced this is the one I will be buying...!
Hello Tom Thank you very much for your content. As one of the most trusted reviewer in your opinion what laptop to go for apple air m4 or Asus (zenbook, vibobook). I would use it as everyday laptop and not interesting in gaming. Maybe for amateur photo editing at the most. Which one is more enjoyable?? Also, is screen on MacBook really that bad compare to OLED on ASUS? Does keyboard illuminates on Apple? Does Apple have alternative to AI option on Asus ? Thanks and hope to hear from you soon
As my main need is audio production I would have loved to have speakers on the sides like a Macbook does. Sticking a speaker next to the screen just guarantees bad audio quality.
The counting had me 😂
they missed the space to put front facing speakers.
are the fans loud at all under general use and light gaming
actually thinking of getting this. Done with having discrete gpus in daily driver laptops.
@thetechchap Can you please share if the ASUS Zenbook S 16 has a full aluminium body? I've read somewhere that the bottom is made out of plastic and that would really ruin the premium feel for me. Cheers
Love the design. Looks so cool and refreshing. I might get one as I am going back to Windows OS.
