Deciding which laptop to buy is like 10 times more difficult than putting up a pc build
And it has been for a long time. Information on laptops like whether or not you can upgrade storage or RAM or how good it is thermally just isn't as readily available, especially on the more budget friendly models.
At least with a desktop you can swap individual parts (within reason) but with a laptop if one thing is bad the whole thing is bad. However you get to have a really compact form.
I never buy new and I'm always looking for a bargain, so for me it's less about specs and more about waiting to find an eBay auction for one which ends at 3am and isn't rigged with snipers! Ultimate cheapskate, me!
i would say getting a Apple silicon Macbook is a good choice if you already have a powerful pc but that is only if you didnt need windows..I already have the macbook air m1 and this shit battery life last like forever..
not if you are poor , you cant buy any :D
manufacturers keep releasing laptops every quarter lol
I could watch Alex be excited about stuff whilst subtly roasting big companies for literally hours.
i could watch him do anything
Alex is my fav host from LTT. tbh i like him more than linus :D
SRY LINUS
Lol Alex is so excited or angry I love it

ASUS seem to have some of the most interesting changes to their gaming laptops this year!
@/@onniceapplinusTechTops thank you so much linus tech tops for your input
@@dextrosxe Tech tops > Tech tips
wish they fixed the latency problem for those who work on audio. (asus rog strix scar iii (i7 9750H, RTX 2070))
Especially when you're paid to say that!
Always liked how Asus tries to implement some non-standard ideas in laptops. Really looking forward to new x13.
I heard they plan to use 4070 on power limit for top model, probably the performance will be similar to 4060 if not just little bit higher otherwise the laptop turn into a stove.
I want a phoenix only x13
Just for light gaming and media device
@@leakahoshi5049 as said in the video, the X13 does get up to a RTX 4070 GPU. All models (except the one without dGPU run the dGPU at up to 60W.
The X13 also gets a micro SD card slot it didn't have last year.
they are really innovative as far as their products, I just wish they had some actual quality control standards
As a 2021 Flow X13 owner, colour me impressed with all the improvements in the 2023 model. I don't need to upgrade, but boy do I want to now 😅
Same here! Got the 2021 x13 as well and it's amazing, but the 2023 model seems to be on another level.
Lol that’s true. Kinda wanna upgrade my x16 but she serves me fine. Albeit ima get that ROG mobile gpu
Same, I love looking at all the new PC's and tablets but I'm still good rocking my old MSI core i7 8th gen laptop.
I want the G18 now!!!
I have the 2020 Strix G17 and I'm happy with it. It's the one with the 1660Ti in it and just the fact that I can now have a laptop that beats my desktop both in power consumption and performance, is just mind-blowing and AMAZING!
i still have the 3050ti 5900hs variant. is that the 2021 version?
The TUF lineup have always been fantastic bang-for-the-buck gaming laptops, so I'm curious what they can offer this time around.
I agree; I wish they had spent more time on the TUF series. Not everyone is buying top-of-the-line $4,500 laptops.
All TUF products
I love my Ryzen 5 F15 laptop, the only problem I've had with it was Windows being weird with me. Fantastic machine.
@ben B acer predator helios 300 is better right?
That, acer's nitro 5, and lenovo's ideapad gaming 3. Three best bang for the buck laptop. At least here
You guys fuel my dream of computers and I’m so glad I started watching you guys.

@@TheJenniferjuniper oh my bad I saw the video thumbnail and thought your comment was a joke based on it lol
@@gerardog4567 oh no I am very serious
Are those laptops or desktop PCs with built in uninterruptible power supplies haha amiright boys
hello
you should cook food with em 😎
hi
Issa notedesk.
The only thing these have in common with desktop PCs is that they both require power cord to function properly. I really despise how hopelessly outdated Windows laptop architectural design is. Hopefully there is M1/M2-like chip design solution for Windows laptops this decade, until then I sleep.
The track pad/num pad combo is such a cool idea! Once in a while you really want a full num pad and that would completely solve that issue!
Asus have had one that can turn the track pad into a screen, calculator and more besides for years now. It's not that new an idea.
Having full number pads is absolutely necessary for so many things. I don't know why so many manufacturers are getting rid of them on 15" and 16" laptops
@@Physicus9 i don't know if this is actually the case, but screens used to have wider bezels. Without that extra width real estate for the chassis, a modern 15" is smaller than a 15" from a few years ago, so the keyboard may need to shrink to fit a num pad, and that may not be ideal for most folks.
The zenbook 13 from 2021 had it. They are doing this for a while now
To be honest, i never use the numpad on my trackpad. Its just not easy to use, and far easier to just use the numbers already on my keyboard. Doesn't come close to a physical numpad
As everyone is SO happy about more and more displays becomming 16: 10, instead of 16:9, "for more usable space" we'll be comming full circle back to the good old, golden and bestest 4:3, eventually 😁
I literally had the same thought, letsgo
Not really, 4:3 is a bit too square. 16:10 is great as it makes the screen just a bit bigger, but keeps the widescreen effect. I really liked my 16:10 screen but there wasn't anything good when I was looking few years back, except really pricy ones.
Nah 16:10 is the best
Yeah, nah. There was a legitimate reason to drop 16:10, which was lack of demand. A common problem used to be that some games, instead of extending your view vertically, would cut off your view horizontally. And the fact remains that even today, 16:9 is the standard for media consumption, with a lot of formats being even wider. From the human perspective, it makes sense because it's more natural for us to look side to side than up and down.
@@CanIHasThisName but 16:10 is literally 16:9 but a little taller...
I love that the heatsink idea is being adopted industry wide. I have a Razer Blade and that was the first thing I noticed about it, and as a result its by far the most quiet laptop I've ever used. I cant wait to see benchmarks on these babies because the Zephyrus Big Boi last year got loud as hell
As a Flow X16 owner, I can confidently say the rear heatsink plus third fan helps a lot with temps and noise! And the MiniLED screen is no joke! Brightest and most vibrant display I’ve ever seen in my life.
True but the flow is glossy so it pops while the mini led on the other matte gaming laptops will look like shit.
Most of the time you will use it at home with an external display anyway.
And if you use it outside, matte is always better then glossy due to reflecting of all the bright lights in the library or train
@@dhl2016 naaaah most people won't pay more for an external display and they won't pay more for a keyboard the majority will buy a mouse but even that some people won't buy a mouse and will just use the trackpad on the laptop.
@@todoroki4418 Looks fantastic on mine. Also the Flow series does still have an anti-reflective coating, so image quality is still affected, although not as much as on a full on anti glare display.
Asus is straight up KILLIN' IT with its laptop lineups!!
Yeah, too bad they will cost a fortune.
Honestly, this year, the laptop scene at CES has been amazing
They made the x13 smaller while adding in a bigger battery and added microsd card slot, that's insane
I really hope we get a video of Alex going through Asus' new zenbook laptops. There's one in particular that has peaked my interest.
I absolutely love Alex's chaotic energy! I need more of this
Always nice to see Alex equally excited and critical of a product. Wish Asus allowed him to open a few more laptops to see the differences, I'm a bit confused about the vapor chamber vs heat pipes thing...
Props to Linus for directing and producing the video while being on a completely different country 👏👏👏
I still have an Asus ROG laptop from like 2010. Used to edit videos on it, and at one point used it as the controller for a vinyl sign cutter. Swapped out one HDD for a SSD, boosted the RAM a bit, upgraded it from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro, did a thermal paste clean and reapply, and it's _still_ going strong. One thing they definitely know how to do is build beastly laptops that have surprisingly long usable lifespans.
I really appreciate them putting in display hinges that let the laptop be used as a tablet. I wish all laptops did that
One big improvement is the 0db ambient mode across all models. Due to the large heatsink, the fan won't even turn on doing light tasks. My 2202 flow x16 is dead quiet🤫 (only except gaming)
Alex never ceases to amaze.. For every laptop or rather everything he gets so excited.. Love this stuff!!
HE NEEDS TO SEE INSIDE IT!!! I REPEAT HE *NEEDS* TO
Protogen. beep boop. *beeps* beep boop boop beep
Protogen O:
Thats crazy
Lol, the fact that ur both protogens
I am really enjoying how a lot of companies are going above and beyond for you guys and giving special treatment. I am really enjoying the coverage you are doing on a lot of the stuff at CES. It is such a breathe of fresh air away from the stale, awkward videos a lot of news broadcasters are doing. You all seem genuinely interested in all of this, and Asus knows that. Samsung know that, Cooler Master know that. And everyone else you have covered that have allowed you to be yourself, get up close and personal, tear down equipment and be 100% honest about all of it. I would say keep doing what you are doing, but I know you are not going to see this comment. So I will just prey that the whole team has always has a cold side of their pillow on warm nights and a great year.
Any display standard that has a consistently enforced spec is a thumbs up from me! Hopefully, things like this catch-on.
I'm eagerly awaiting the performance results for the "4090" G14. It will no doubt be absolutely insanely priced and it'll be interesting to see how the thermals do, considering the 2022 G14 (although max TDP of 105w) really doesn't like being above 80w. It sucks that it won't be AMD anymore, but we'll see how it plays out.
Have you considered the M16? I've got a 2022 one and I couldn't be happier with it.
I love how Alex puts the reps under constant stress
I really enjoy LTT videos I don't care if they are laptops, desktops, phones or servers, I say this beacuse I remember that about 7 months ago I suscribed and thanks LMG for teaching to me about computers.
Man, these are so cool, although I wish they had a built in camera shutter.
I am soo exited about the Strix Scar 18. Cannot wait to see benchmarks and when and where to pre order !!!
Can't wait to have the need to buy the flow x13 that's so close to a perfect laptop for my use
the numpad in the trackpad is a great idea! especially if you can hotkey it for faster on/off access.
Asus surely saved a lot of money during CES by using unlicensed windows on the Flow X16
Good to see thicker laptops!!
We're finally going back to performance and functionality over looks thats the biggest most impressive thing sadly
Mixing the numpad with the trackpad is genius and I love it.
Keep up the great work LMG!!! Love the content!
I love your content Alex, keep being as awesome as you are ♥️
Alex is so happy in these videos. Makes me want to go to CES!
i hate to be that guy but having a heatsink on the back of a laptop is anything but a new idea. my thinkbook from 2011 had this.
That mini-led diplay with 1100nits got me drooling. I got a 600nit HDR screen and i am impressed with that. Cant imagine another 500nits on the laptop!
I was kinda hoping for more Zenbook Duos type of stuff, as I have one and it's absolutely amazing. I think the ergonomics of it are better than traditional laptops when using the touchpad a lot. If there was one with a 4070 I would 100% buy it.
What are you doing step-driver????!!!!!
-The laptop in the thumbnail, probably
I love how I upgraded about 6 months ago and I am still officially behind the curb on my PC with the latest tech lol. Love seeing some of this new stuff now I just have to wait 2 years and I will upgrade again :D!
WHY IS HE NOT USING A LTT SCREWDRIVER?!?!
Thanks for the video. We're an Asus household because of the value they represent in all price categories.
I just really love to watch Alex exciting about the new stuff lol
my favorite thing about 16:10 is that the trackpad tends to be larger because u haave more room
That G14 screen though... It looked like a high quality print glued to it. Amazing.
I've been using a Asus ROG GL702-VM (1060/i5-6300) for the last 5 years and have just retired it for an Acer Helios with the 3070 and the i9 because it had a better price to performance ratio than the closest Asus. My son has been using a TUF for the last year though, with a 2060 and i7 in it, and he loves it. They (Asus) do a great line of laptops but Acer were doing some great January deals with high end spec when I bought mine, I tend to go with best bang for buck as opposed to being a fanboy of any particular brand!!
"Wait it's all heatsink ?" Always has been.👨🚀🔫
Alex opening while staff is seeing .
Chill
Linus watching and starts pointing at it .
Staff : sir you are not allowed to pickit ..
When I saw that track pad light up with a ten key my toes curled! That's the first time I've wanted to use a track pad.
Alex is a true gem for LTT.
ASUS continues to impress me with their performance for size over other brands. I have the 2022 G14. The amount of power in what is basically a 13" laptop chassis is insane.
I agree with this statement
I have the 2022 Flow X13 and I love it. Just amazing the performance in such a small case!
Man that miniLED is so impressive
I could see the difference through the camera
Can't wait till we starting seeing them in 32/34' monitors but probably be 2025
The AlmightyConicalFlask approves of the need to see inside.
For one, how are they able to do a 4090 for a laptop? But also, how come HDR isn’t more common for laptops?
1. Different power target for a mobile 4090, likely 100s of watts less. 2. Expense, power consumption, and Windows historically has not handled HDR very well, do not know if it is the same situation today.
@@4R8YnTH3CH33F the 4090 inside the G14 has max wattage of 125w, and judging from how the last year model was I'm guessing typical tdp is 105w
Power/cost/size/heat to the number of people who they think it would make them buy it that wouldn't otherwise would be my guess.
For one the laptop 4090 is actually an underclocked RTX4080 so the power consumption isn't toooo crazy
It's 4090 in name only, the only generation where laptops GPUs were anywhere near their desktop counterparts was 10 series.
I want to see Linus go to one of these and drop everything to see the reps reactions
One thing I like about ASUS notebooks is their keyboard layout: since I had a Sony Vaio, I gut used to the additonal row of function keys like Home, End, PgUp, PgDown on the right side. I use it a lot to navigate through code and really miss it if its not their. Unfortunatly, no other manufacturer picked that up.
Asus never cease to amaze me
Make separate physical buttons for the mouse clicks.
It works so much better for click and drag.
sadly that is gone, and hell i despise moving the mouse with the click button, makes touchpads borderline unusable for me
tbh the cooling solution doesn't look all that different from my mid-2015 MBP. This just has more heatpipes and the hot air goes out behind the screen instead of up in front of the screen
Imagine how much power they could get if they did a watercooling solution like that guy did for the PS5 "slim" (3 copper sheets, one with the cpu block soldered in (plus whatever else for a laptop, gpu block, vram, etc), a second one with the flow paths cut out, then a third one to put on top and close the loop, so there's no need for any tubing/fittings inside, the copper itself contains the liquid - with quick disconnect fittings externally alongside the power cable, then the power supply brick also has the radiator in with it)
Very disappointed with Asus this year. Apart from the compelling ROG Zephyrus G14 & Flow x13, it looks like Asus just gave AMD the 🖕 for no good reason. I prefer AMD's better battery life and to see such few options this year makes me very mad.
Apparently they do have a reason. AMD can't make enough chips to meet demand. Remember how last gen almost all AMD laptops were impossible to find.
Even though amd cpus are the overall better choice, if they can't keep up with demand for several models it's better if all the oems have 1 or 2 models they can actually supply while AMD slowly ramps up supply and trickle out new designs.
Alex is the only one killing it on their CES videos.
Years ago when Liquid Ultra was the only name in the game and only lasted about 4-6 months before it started hardening on a 24/7 rig i realized it's the areas that are exposed to oxygen that harden first. So when it came to my laptop i simply put high temp RTV silicone gasket maker around the CPU die and it's been about 8+ years, my friend still has that laptop that she uses all the time. Granted it's "just" a 25w TDP cpu, still
I put it a thin tall bead using a small straw to apply it about 5mm from the die, put it together and let it cure for just an hour and started using it. Took it apart after about 2 years and it was still all liquid, other than stains on the copper that actually wiped off. Compared to the bunch of times i've had to take a razer to the die and sand it off the heat sink (after taking as much off with a razer as i could)
I knew it. They're using positive pressure to cool the middle of the rear finstack. Hopefully the foam holds and there isn't anywhere else for the pressure to leak.
Cool to see inside the X16... I wish you also opened the X13 though!!!
I have a gen 1 G14, and I absolutely love it. The thought of one with a 4090 is friggin wicked sick!! Good job Asus!!
The touchpad/illuminated numpad is quite the innovation! Unfortunately I need it near the arrow keys....I refuse to WASD!
I have a Vega 64 reference blower with liquid metal and a bracket mod.
After 5 and a half years it still runs A LOT cooler than our Vega 56 [bought around the same time as the mid 2017 cryptoboom doors were about to shut on msrp] in our media machine I didnt bother as it's temps originally were not as bad as a stock 64.
After spending ages trying to decide between the m16 and the g15 last year, I ended up getting the x16 flow and it is by far the best laptop I've ever owned, and had the specs I wanted. 3060 with 1440p and the screen is just amazing. Plus I'm trying to save to get a mobile xg to use for a dock. Never considered it originally but so glad I went with the x16.
hey Alex i really want to know if the xg mobile port on x13 is pcie 4.0 rather than the 3.0, if it is the what's the bandwidth now? i know 3.0 one had 63Gbps, how much upgrade it is over that?
I remember the days when reaching the 5ghz line needed liquid nitrogen.
Now laptops are buzzing through it like it’s nothing
The flow and zeph series is what I'm looking forward to
Oh wow, I barely just got a 2020 legion 5 with a 2060m and the 40 series is already out. Things move so darn quick these days! Tbh I’m happy with my legion 5 and it will do me proud for many years, I think. The grass is not always greener…
Picked up a 2022 g14 for about $1000 open box. Been really good. Only 3.5 lbs and can get 8 hrs of battery from doing normal stuff. But is pretty dang good for gaming just about anything with rt off. Great overall laptop for anyone. 2023 probably better on the rt side
As the child of divorced parents I love my Zephyrus G15 since I can take it back and forth every week. Thank you ASUS.
the transparent stuff is lovely
I am so glad 16:10 is making a comeback. I still have a 1900x1200 Gateway IPS Monitor, that was my main screen for over a decade until I upgraded to 1440p.
The Flow X13 looks amazing - not because of the 4070 in it, but because it has a 7000HS processor, meaning there will probably be a model with GTX 1650 level graphics performance *without* dedicated graphics
Love to see laptops getting nicer screens
Wow, the flow is literally everything that I ever wanted... bought a XPS 13 2in1 two years ago but I was always disappointed that no convertibles with dedicated gpus existed in this formfactor.
I really hope this line continues for the next year's so when it is time to upgrade I can switch to these beauties :)
And being honest, smaller price and more performance is a nobrainer for me (even if it may mean a few more gramms)
Just wanna visit CES someday!! waiting for it badly
I finally got my northern lights pad and bearded plush today, thanks guys, your research that went into this pad wasn't bullshit like I thought
Love the translucent plastic, takes me back to my childhood!!
I love hearing stuff about Asus cooling especially when the laptop will idle at 80C as every other ones including their "liquid metal" laptops
Asus is doing incredible with their ROG and Flow lineups. I have a 2021 ROG strict from their first batches with liquid metal, which had an issue but even with the issue, the temps were good. Recently, I acquired a 2022 with a R9 and a 3070 and seeing that the temps were better I decided to open the old to re apply the liquid metal (after reading forums on the issue) and the results were also as amazing. I can play in the iGPU having the laptop at 60° and the fans completely off. Or use the MUX switch and play the performance mode which maybe goes until 75° but with an incredible performance (not even turbo). Amazing crap
hope they will have a vivobook pro refresh too in silver color. thats their best product. looks elegant, awesome display, and dead silent
Is that Gary just hanging out in the background? That's cool he got to go back to see ASUS people!
Does it's chassi creak? Does it have backlight bleed? Does it's touchpad get random input lag? Does their speakers crackle? Can you only have 3 ms input lag when connected to power brick?
Cus my GA503 from 2021 do 😶
The whole bottom plate should be a heatsink with fins and then make the fans draw air from one side and make the feet just a U with the fans at the bottom of the U so they pull air across that large heatsink cooling it off. to cool the cpu and gpu more draw air from the sides if cooler air is needed.
They make these yearly improvements to the flow absolutely huge (besides the 2022)
Maybe we can also PLUG IN an additional heatsink elsewhere too?
i have the 5900hs/3050ti flow x13 and i love it that new one has me drooling
looking at it through the video the screen looks amazing like holy looks so much better than the ones i've tried
LMAO no ROG keystone support on the new strix. I have one with the stupid keystone cutout (using it right now), and I knew it was a gimmick.
Otherwise, love how chill the Asus reps and folks are.
as someone who just bought the 2022 version of the flow x13 for black friday, i'm honestly kind of tempted with the upgrades in the 2023 version just 2 months later...
it all comes down to the price though...
Looking pretty good, Asus!! Love the translucent plastics and the Flow X13 looks AMAZING!!
