Need audio jack on a laptop brah :(

Thanks! And no, our version has the standard 300 nits screen. That 1W 400 nits screen is only available in certain regions around the world - so you need to confirm that with your local ASUS rep.

Thank you! Cheers!

Give me bobux

Thanks! I think Core i3 is good enough for most use cases, it's sufficient ✌️

Glad to help!

Thanks! I reviewed the Acer Swift 5 before too - and I have to say, the Swift 5 sacrifices in build quality for the sake of less weight. The trackpad on the Acer Swift 5 sucks, though. However, the Acer Swift 5 comes with an NVIDIA MX250 - which is not entirely useful for office work. Battery life is... pretty average. In comparison, the ZenBook 14 UX425 is laser focused on being a laptop for office work. Long battery life, great keyboard, great trackpad, and aluminium body. But, the lack of an audio jack is an issue if you want to use meetings and whatnot.

@@NasiLemakTech Thanks so much for your reply. Makes it easier..guess will go for Zenbook 14 as I would like to have a good built quality. Plus I don't need graphics card for my work. Lovely channel. Looking forward to your next video.

Glad that we can help!

Ah, you have excellent observation and is aware of what's happening. So here's the shortest summary for you - buy the UM version. Don't bother about the hinge or thickness. As for 11th Gen, I think there's a price premium to pay for it. Also, Intel didn't make it mandatory to disclose the maximum operating wattage, which creates performance discrepancy between laptops even though they're using the same chipset. We did another video diving deeper into the differences between the two chipsets here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJyjmLJ1mLfLf4U.html Very nerdy video, lots of numbers and lots of proof. From what I know, the 11th Gen version of this exact same ZenBook 14 is also running at 15W max only.

I have to agree with you. Despite AMD hardware for laptops improved so much, it's still being treated as second-class and rarely gets packaged in a nice, premium laptop.

Thank you! 🙏

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

So far, no. Thermals have been great for me and no coil whines too. And thanks - remember to subscribe!

Wait for the ryzen 4000 version soon.

Yep. It's named UM425. Not sure when it's coming though

@@NasiLemakTechI think the ryzen lineup will be release on september though

You can toggle it on or off, but there's no way to permanently disable it.

Could be. Maybe different in terms of battery life and performance only.

That keyboard area is sturdy enough. I get why they're saying that since the center part is weakest part - but it's really durable. As for the i7 variant, yea no problem.

@@NasiLemakTech thanks again. 🙏

@@NasiLemakTech also your thoughts on Vivobook S14 S403 would be greatly appreciated .

S403? Do you have a link to that laptop? I can't find any information about that laptop specifically.

@@NasiLemakTech sorry I couldn't find the link. It's listed on Amazon India . How does the zenbook compare to Lenovo slim 7 14" intel version ?

This or flip one for same price??

I use the USB-C port for my external SSD as well. And since I work in a production company, I need a card reader and an external mouse too. Maybe a keyboard for better long-term usage. So, USB ports are important to me.

@TennisMaster Maybe put your purchase on hold first. The Tiger Lake refresh is coming soon.

Nasi Lemak Tech when?

I need laptop right now

It should be powerful enough to do it.

Depends on your needs, honestly. This laptop is great for portability, but sacrifices on performance. The VivoBook S533 has a more balanced performance but not as portable.

Just swap out the SSD inside.

The UX433 is really old at this point in time though. About 2-3 years old. Getting the UX425... the biggest differences is - of course - performance and also battery life, and also its thinnest. However, the UX433 does have an audio jack whereby you'll need a separate dongle for the UX425.

@@NasiLemakTech thank you so much for replying....another question, is the performance of the UX425 really that "great" compared to the UX433 or is it just a step higher? because i really like how the UX433 looks haha

What currency is the bucks?

It sounds okay if you put the laptop on a table since it's bottom-firing. Still, best to use earphones

Don't get this laptop if you want to edit videos. You should get a laptop with at least an MX250 or MX330 GPU.

Thank you so much for letting me know this, So if I go with envy i7 as it has MX350 will it be able to handle editing? Also it has U series processor and it's 13inch, will it be a problem in performance? As some people says slim and light laptops doesn't perform well..

Yes, the Envy with i7 and MX350 will be much better since it has dedicated VRAM. And no worries, the U series processors can still churn out simple-edited videos without issues.

Thank you so much for your reply😊

Yes it does.

I wouldn't say that's a big issue but it's still weird that such a thing is happening. I suggest contacting ASUS to see if there's anything wrong. Perhaps updating the BIOS can help?

@@NasiLemakTech I had a chat with the technical support and they told me That it's normal to charge maximum To 97 % and to force it to 100 % if I want I just have to plug in the charger a couple of times after it finish to charge, and they told me that the most important thing to monitor for check if there are problems is the battery life and for now I had 5:30 hours of usage and I'm at 48% they also gave me a link for a specific faq about this

@@markoharoon8327 That's rather weird since our unit just charges to 100% at a single charge. Don't need to re-plug it. Either way, keep an eye out on the battery.

hey have you hover your cursor on battery after 100% charge? Does it show 4 hrs and some minutes remaining after 100% charge? I am using eclipse for programming and it heats up at top of keyboard and also draining is happening quick.I dont know if its a matter of concern and must reach out to asus team or not.i just bought it yesterday.For me its an expensive laptop but i thought my previous asus lasted for 7 yrs so i trusted it back again.

@@nishtha_pd consider that when you start it the pc is immediately ready for use, but some components and programs are still booting so you will listen the fan working heavy, and for the system the battery life is low, but after the booting in back ground is finish, you will find that the battery life indication will increase. Consider also that the first 2-3 times since you connect it to the internet, the system starts to download all the updates for software in background. I also resolved my problem and I'm now able to charge it till 100% by plug in /out the charger a couple of times and leave it connected for half hour after the charging led indicator becomes white

We can try getting our hands on it - but it's not that simple when it comes to Lenovo.

@@NasiLemakTech oic, the ryzen 7 is hard to get but ive seen quite some ryzen 5 in store

you will be disappointed, with the screen on that just like the swift series of the acer but everything else is ok

Nope. It's not sharp since there are chamfered edges all over.

I have not tried either of those Lenovo laptops before. From what I can tell from past experience, Lenovo laptops - especially Yoga - is great since it has that flipping hinge and also amazing AccuType keyboard. I am unsure about the overall build quality and screen quality of either Lenovo laptops.

Yeah, there's an error there. The second column should've been the ZenBook 14 UX425.

There is... not sure if it's available for purchase now. It's called the ZenBook UM425.

Yeah stock availability is an issue.

Both are very different laptops aimed towards completely different types of users. The ZenBook 14 UX425 is for portability, whereby the ZenBook Duo is for dual-screen productivity and some content creation.

For a budget laptop, the VivoBook S15 S533 is a great choice.

elliott jayy try Lenovo yoga slim 7 with Ryzen 7 4700 and up. Lenovo is having 30% discount now. Can chat with the CSO to find out out more. I’m not a Lenovo staff, just sharing my recent purchase.

This is an ultrabook, not the conventional thiccboi laptops.

Interested in this too.... I just don't think I can justify the cost of a Mac.

@@cassandrasampson23 Same here.

I guess you could hakintosh it

Yep

Yep. White color backlighting

Yes it is!

Better get the VivoBook S15 S533. That MX250 is very important for content creation.

@@NasiLemakTech thankss

@@s2artvideodiary ZenBook 14 UX433FLC-A5249T Comes with mx250

@@vlogwithdefu does it really? because I'm planning to get that and i really like how it looks haha

@@adorablealien3858 yes it is, you can check on ASUS official website fof the full specs

22 hours is in the best case scenario. In comparison with other laptops though, 9 hours on heavy web browsing is magnificent.

Was wondering if i should buy the one with core i5 or core i7? I will need to edit some light videos n will also be using SketchUp.

Don't. We're using the Core i7 model and it's definitely not suitable even for lightweight video editing. Get the VivoBook S15 S533 instead. Core i5 and an NVIDIA MX250 is much better for your usage.

@@NasiLemakTech Noted, thank you😊

Glad to help!

Aha! That's a good catch! Unfortunately, no. The AMD version is called the UM425, and it is stated as USB-C only. www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-ZenBook-14-UM425IA/Tech-Specs/

Thunderbolt is Intel exclusive. You will have to look a long time to find one. ;)

To study computer science in university btw

I'd say both are more or less the same. What kind of computer science are you studying btw?

@@NasiLemakTech software engineering

Yes. White backlighting

Yes, if it supports USB-PD then it works.

And also amd version is cheaper

TBH, no difference. Get the AMD version instead.

Integrated graphics. Also depending on what type of programming you do. Basic web programming sure.

@@NasiLemakTech thanks for ur reply. I found in asus website, it state that it is intel iris plus, but in some retailers state that it is intel uhd graphic, it is quite confusing😂

Yeah... Intel isn't making it easier to us to understand and remember too 😂 This laptop uses the 10th Gen Intel chip which is based on Ice Lake, which uses the new Intel Iris Plus Graphics. But the performance... is still not as good as AMD's Ryzen 5 4500U for example.

@@NasiLemakTech thank for ur explanation, i am planning to have it, but wait for asus to launch the new zenbook flip first

Happy to help! Remember to subscribe!

Yea that audio jack is really polarizing. Some users are okay with not having it, whereas some users really need it. Still, there's no reason for ASUS to remove it.

NasiLemakTech yes there is. This is called competition. The other company pays you the money to remove the jack so they can sell their product otherwise all ppl would have bought this model.

Actually i was hype thw first time i saw this..then i knew this audiojack thing..and dongle...then my interest dropped really hard....😁.....well ok...back to original plan...spectre x360 15"....at least i have complete IO plus numpad

Audio jack my man. Not about the USB-C ports. MacBooks still have audio jacks and don't require you to sacrifice a Thunderbolt 3 port for audio.

Did you upgrade to Windows 11?

Thanks for the sub! Also, I recommend you to get other laptops. You'll definitely need a discrete GPU, so get something like the Zephyrus G14, Acer Nitro 5, or even XPS 15.

@@NasiLemakTech Thnx for ur Time

Welcome. Glad to help.

Yea, they should. Apple went full nuclear and just discarded all ports in favor of Thunderbolt 3/Type-C

it has USB-C to audio jack adapter

There is another version of this laptop with audio jack but the availability is limited. Try searching for the ZenBook 14 UX435.

@@NasiLemakTech Thanks!

What do u think about it now?

@@ussifhossny3795 it’s still great although the battery has degraded
