I assume that Finland's price has the VAT included, like most countries in Europe. Still, the difference is ... damn.

They’re different versions. One is ux3405 and the other is um3406.

At least Lenovo has some Europe only models (or at least they're not sold in North America) that are very attractively priced. I bought a Yoga Slim 6 last year, with an R7 7840U, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD and a 1920x1200 OLED for a very cheap price, and it's a nice enough laptop with aluminium body and glass top touchpad.

Yeah, for some reason Europe's prices are outrageous. Even if the tax is included, it is sky high. :(

well yeah lol

Thank you. We actually have really tried to improve the graphs using break lines and different colored boxes. What I think we may need to do is put a graph pack on our website for each video we do

What do you think of that?

@@JustJoshTech I think that would be good, if you used it to have much less information in the graphs on video; so, have really simple graphs with fewer laptops, and people can go to the website to see graphs with a wider range of comparisons and more detail. (I'm not sure if that's what you had in mind, or if you were thinking of keeping the graphs as they are and also having them on the website so people can take more time looking over them there.)

Oh wow. I hope it comes here

Somebody else mentioned the same, but in Finland. I guess they want to ship where the big bucks are first, then they'll ship it to US. I wonder what the price difference will be in US.

I preordered that one 3 weeks ago for 5000PLN (1235USD. Europe, duh). Haven't used it much yet, but I think I'm quite happy with the purchase. I see it's no longer available in the store I bought it in though.

For European buyers I would recommend the Lenovo slim 7 with the 7840s,and 1800p oled screen 32gb and 1 TB for around 1300 euros.Its cheaper than the ZenBook while being better value for money and imho more stylish and well built.Its also faster than the spectre 14 with the 155h processor, accordingly to notebookcheck (which compared the spectre with the 7840u in it's review).Kind of a no brainer

​@@MeszkeKeszke25 Can you tell more about battery life?

I agree and I told them this

we deffo want bigger screens but still want the resolution

Did you get the laptop? How's it?

I for some reason went for the macbook pro 14' Ulitmately.......

It's sold out everywhere q q

MacBook Pro 14 for sure out of those 2

@@JustJoshTech Thank you!

Ludicrous

@@JustJoshTech And the core ultra 155h variant in spain cost arround 1500€. Its a nonsense.

yeah taxes do make these laptops cost much much more, in greece the tax is 24% much higher than eve germany

@@NVidieroultra 7 or 9?

i got the cheaper version of the laptop for less than 600

That's probably in my original Zenbook 14 review or the Core Ultra model

@@JustJoshTech so that s a yes or a no? you dont rememebr your own reviews?

I'm desperately waiting for somw coverage on them from him, the s14 model seems to be the perfect 14" laptop possible. High wattage ryzen 7 chip, a 3k display and phenomenal battery life but unfortunately they're probably not available in the us market yet(I've seen them released on the chinese market) also the price seems to be around 1000 usd so it seems like a reasonable upgrade to the amd variant of the zenbook 14.

We have the latest

Thank you. Always trying to improve here

Thanks mate! We will get some in for sure

Thanks mate, we are trying to get in as much info as possible in a fun and entertaining way

Yes, we have some here. I'd love to do a video on them this year. I will try my best

@@JustJoshTech Great!! thanks for the response, didn't expect a reply...will be looking forward to that video.

Fan noise is noticeable in casual use. I have both. So that is your determining factor

@@JustJoshTech thank you! Which one of those is your favorite? Msi studio 14, omen trancend or zephyrus? Cuz from your zephyrus video, it seems like it was very loud and warm

@Blazey I personally would get the Transcend. Yes you are taking a big step back in graphics, but it's more comfortable to use. That being said tbh I don't love any. I'd say Transcend for me is 8 out of 10

Normally, we test the Netflix test on power saver. But the Cinebench test on max settings. We try to match how a user would run the laptop in those scenarios. Thanks btw

We have them. :)

No

90hz as minimum would be great

It's not a gaming laptop and it's cheap considering the monster of a CPU it's packing inside. 60Hz is very much acceptable

Yes

Macs are much better re the processor. No they are not competitive. In this video the Air has no fan. So zero fan noise ever

@@JustJoshTech Sir I think they will not be competitive enough unless x86 like ARM becomes an SOC with integrated RAM which will lead to greater efficiency and low latency due to tightly knit components and also reduce its instructions per set for further gains in efficiency, but the former makes it more complex and consequently more difficult to repair and upgrade and also expensive with cost being passed down to consumers, while the latter might not happen anytime soon because x86 was not designed keeping power efficiency for mobile computing in mind. Intel refused to work on ARM when Apple was working for their iPhones citing it being not useful and Apple decided to make their own ARM Chips and today we see Apple having an upper hand and Intel struggling to keep up with Apple in thin and light Laptop space. I personally just like many others don't mind x86 because my portable computer is my Android smartphone, and my Gaming Laptop my desk PC for productivity. No issues with fan noise which is not much audible in balanced mode. And the traditional advantages of tried and tested x86 platform and the devices using it including modularity are more useful than being further tied down and restricted while the gains in battery life not a feature everybody wants or needs, as the needs of both regular users and enterprises does not necessarily align to and focused on this factor alone or at all.

thanks for sharing im gonna wait too. Do you know how long?

@@mo7074 they are supposed to announce it at Computex in June to launch in the summer.

Yes

That one is very good for basic use the Ryzen 5 one you mentioned. it was in our Top 10 laptops of 2024 released in November. Check that out if you want to see info about it. We had the Ryzen 7 model but similar thing. btw our model i thought had 2880 x 1800 resolution. So double check that

What level of scaling do you use in Windows, just out of curiosity? I personally find text rendering using 1200p @ 100% scaling in Windows produces the best balance of readability and information density.

Not available here in the USA sorry

Price imo

Yes, but let me save you some time. The screen is really bad. It's a big step back. There may be several screen configurations available but the one we have is bad. I'm talking Yoga 7i 2 in 1

@@JustJoshTech Is the one you have the OLED one?

@@lengors7327 No

@@JustJoshTech ok. Thank you :)

@@JustJoshTech btw, started watching your channel recently. Loved it. Subbed!

what is battery life like? This my main concern when getting it because I see a lot of reviewers (specifically ones that I trust like josh) saying it has really good battery like 12-14 hours on lighter tasks but a lot of customer reviews claiming 3-6 hours on light task and am confused where the disconnect is here.

@@TheArcadeCrow I usually have around 30 tabs open plus several Word docs and it can certainly last more than 3 hours. With all these tasks, I use less than 10% per hour. When I play games, after 3 to 4 hours, I still have more than 20% left. One thing I wanna point out is that sometimes it feels a bit laggy to type.

It's in out Best 14inch Laptop video from last year

Not normally. It depends on how much power the manufacturer feeds to it for various tasks. It depends on the panels construction, resolution, and refresh rate. It depends on the size of battery. It depends on bugs like usb ports draining too much power. There is alot
