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

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.

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!!!

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)
