Thank you for the kind words! 🙏

Sure thing! :)

Was hard pressed between this and the Zephyrus M16 for around the same price. What’s your takeaways so far? Do you miss your Vivobook or are you completely satisfied with the Zephyrus?

:D yeah, I have seen this on sale today for 1799$ whicht is pretty insane!

26gb of ram? LOL

@@madd5 probably mistyped 36gb

If your notebook has to endure quite a bit, I totally understand your concerns. I got the Stealth 16 in the Studio last week, so I am just getting to know it! It looks solid so far tho!

I tried two of the 4070 model. One was fairly solid, and the other felt like cheap plastic. The quality control on these is poor. If buying one, ensure that the seller offers a generous return policy. Otherwise, I'd look at the ProArt or Zenbook lines for solid OLED creator laptops.

I am afraid I can not remember, and I also did not notice anything!

Already working on it!

how do you like the zenbook pro 16x? especially compared to the vivibook?

What's the difference in the vivobook and zenbook, is it just the build quality? Or is it components too?

Thanks for sharing your experience. It seems like you have to get lucky to get a good one here, which really sucks. The Zenbook is better in everything despite port selection. Our review should be out in 1-2 weeks.

Ich check das mal mit dem Team!

same, plastic chassis so hinge is probably with glue. If you know how to mix new glue or like taking laptops apart, should be fine :) Repair shops fixing that, depends. I was surprised Salem wanted to order a new back, when it's "fixable" with great glue.

I’ve literally just ordered this at £1,162 from Amazon! How have u found it for gaming? (If u do that)! I’m hoping for the best of both worlds from it! I had a Lenovo loq ordered at £80 less but specs were slightly less so was no a brainer upgrade tbh

Vivobook 14x variants and zenbook 14 variants. Theres even a budget vivobook go 14

@@adityaudayanagolfvlogs1317 perfect but I don't find this Pc in any place in Europe

@@gabrielsouza4483 best way to find a suitable laptop is to search the CPU u want.yea this is a niche laptop so its not available in all market

Yes, at least the HDMI will allow you to use G-Sync on a supported monitor.

We still did not get a sample! The Zenbook is definitely among the best creator-focused notebooks this year! I hope to wrap up filming that review within the next week! :)

Why not return it for the vivobook?

I also wanted to know

@@Trindadex No, i found out: not - sadly

Is there widespread concern about them?

Tough one! The Yoga Pro 9i has a better chassis and a more subtle design, but I would opt for the Vivobook for the added performance! Just be aware that some users in the comments mentioned QC issues, so you might want to research that before pulling the trigger!

@@NotebookcheckReviews thanks so much for the reply.

@@NotebookcheckReviews is qc issues still a problem?

It does, and I would believe its next to the webcam, but I am afraid I can not check for you!

It's plastic if I remember correctly.

Definitly, but not with this CPU and GPU combo. The Vivobooks start below 1000$.

​@@NotebookcheckReviews What about the Vibobook pro 15 M6500XV ? It comes with an 2.8K 120Hz OLED display, an RTX4060, R9 7940HS for 1800€. I think it's the cheapest laptop featuring this kind of performances and I would love to see it reviewed!

ASUS has Vivobook OLED ($400-600, fully plastic build) and Vivobook S OLED ($600-900, plastic + magnesium build) series of laptops that come in 14, 15 and 16 inch sizes, so 6 budget OLED laptops in total. They have the same screen as more expensive Vivobook Pro and Zenbook lineups, just without the GPU and other premium features.

Without being able to verify by actually testing both configurations, I would carefully assume you might get a slightly better performance with the dual-channel configuration, but I can not imagine it to be a huge difference!

Doesn't the 13980hx have better battery than 7845hx?

Zen 4 CPUs usually run hotter than their Intel Counterparts, and AMD silicon does not guarantee better battery life this year!

Good to know, thanks! In that case I'll be waiting for 2024 Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 16 OLED and your reviews of it.

What do you mean?

Yes all vivobooks have a keyboard backlight. But it's just a white backlight acceoss the whole panel, not a rgb per key.

What?

I bought this a couple days ago on Amazon renewed for $888, with oled RTX4060...

@@Room1sixtyfiveHow good is it ? I’m looking to run an LLM with it

The main reason to buy this laptop is for the OLED display. The build quality is lacking, the firmware is buggy, and the heating solution isn't the best. I'd look at comparable machines from Lenovo, or even 12th gen 3070 ti laptops with better build quality.

@@TechGuyB I wouldn't say I disagree but unfortunately the only available machines in the same price range in my region are either 12th gen i7 with 4070 MSI Katana, the Dell G15 with 13650HX and a 4060 or an AORUS 12th gen 12500H with a 3070 Ti. None of these options is ideal but it seems the vivobook (for the price) is the most decent out of them all. Portability at 2kg is great and the subtle more professional look is a plus.

@@TechGuyB this is not true bro

@@safouder hey dude, i just ordered exactly the same machine, the K6604JI-K8075W, i use it now since 4 days, (this video helped me a lot te make the decision), and i can tell you everythink about it ! it's really a great machine, i really happy using it, and i really recommand you to order it for many reasons: i ordered the same version, also with 16gb / 512go, now i removed the 16gb ram stick (samsung), and i installed a new kit (g skill ripjaws 32gb=2x16gb 4800mhz), now it works flawlessly, it was not the case at the 1st attempt, i only ordered 1 stik of 16gb g skill, and system was not stable at all, blue screen every 3 hours, so one of my friends told me that you should never mix different RAM on the same computer, so i swiped the samsung stik, and i installed 2 stiks of the same model of ram, and since that, everything works flawlessly. the CPU in this model is the i7 13650HX, very powerfull, not as fast as the i9 13980HX, but almost the same in most of applications, including me, for lightroom and premiere pro. but the advantage here is, thermal solution of CPU/GPU are one of best i ever seen, 8 copper heat pipes, it works reaaaaally well for pulling up all the heat + 2 powerfull fan and 4 exhausts, the combo work really fine, i also tested the ProArt StudioBook pro 16 OLED, it's exactly the same thermal solution, it's really designed to handle a powerfull CPU/GPU, so i totally approuve the thermal solution of this laptop. Screen: as i said, i tested the ProArt StudioBook pro 16 with the OLED 3.2K 120Hz, i guess it's the same monitor as the Vivo tested in this video, and it's not the best screen i ever tested, the is a very strange "grid effet layer" on the screen, visible even from 1 meter from the pc, especially on white color, task manager windows for example, it's so strange to look at, and not so convenient, i took a picture of the screen using a macro lens to check the problem, and i seen that the problem is the shape of the pixel it self, it's not a usual square shape like 99% of the monitors of the planet, but, feels like pixels on an entry level TV. this is why i decided to not buy the ProArt, and then, when i found this VivoBook pro with an IPS screen 2.7K 165Hz, i was SOOOOO happy !! i immediatly ordered it, and now i'm not disappointed, i'm really happy of it, very sharp, very color accurate, very fast (165Hz), AND very bright (500 nits, same brightness of the OLED pannel) ... i also really like the color of keyboard keys, look professionnal / vintage... may be the only down side : RAM: max 32GB, and nvme: only one slot, with max 2Tb. it can tell you more about this model, you can ask me questions.....

Hi, how are the thermals? Would you say it has better cooling than the Lenovo 5i Pro? I'm torn between this (4070 version) and the Lenovo 8 Gen (rtx 4070). Its mainly going to be docked (using external monitor) ​@@HarTechFr

Yeah I think I’ll wait for the 15th gen and 4090…….

:D you can only try!

I get the price argument, but in my opinion, those two laptops do not really compare. But if the RedmiBook works for you, go for it!

@@NotebookcheckReviews Ofc, the monster CPU and dedicated graphics card in this slim beast is a big no-no for me, that's why I said it's too much. And sure, these two don't really compare. This thing is almost 20% faster in single core speeds than my AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS is, but I need power on the go and don't want to melt my hands ;) I just don't believe in slim laptops that draw huge wattage. This thing will be noisy and hot under load.

Is this a widespread problem?

It is. The hinge is glued to the plastic so it breaks often. These computers end up needing repair within the first year regularly.

It’s so bad that my local tech buy back place won’t buy it because he refuses to sell a machine this unreliable.

​@@YK42618never heard of. You're unlucky mate. That's all

Have you used both? While the Vivobook is definitely plastic and has a much less sturdy feeling than a Zenbook, I would not call them fragile!

Thanks for sharing your experience. What kind of bugs did you encounter?

Don’t macbooks have larger touchpads? I don’t seem to hear a wide spread of people complaining about the size with those
