Your mic is nice sounding! Great video!

Great video. I'm currently looking at this laptop because Dell went ahead and changed all the XPS's to the new ugly designs that only really look on the 13. I have been using and still use with no slow down or issues my Dell XPS 13 (9310). It has i7-1185g7 w/ 16gb 4267 DDR4 and 512gb SSD. I don't want to upgrade to a different brand of machine because I've had older XPS laptops and my family has always used Dell, However I want a bigger display (i got the UHD touch option) with 120hz and a bigger trackpad with more performance options. I've had this machine since 2020 early Dec and have been using for almost 4 years now and honestly it still holds up essentially the screen and keyboard. The new XPS line up is too expensive (I paid $1380 for a 13'' laptop) for what you get. This machine is so beautiful and looks minimal while having its own thing going on. I don't game on my thin and lights i have a system for that but would you say this a good option for a person like to upgrade to from an older XPS? Thanks in advance.

I still think of Android Authority whenever I watch your videos hahaha. I've been watching you for a long time!

I really hate all this ai jargon being thrown into marketing

[dahumbleprof]

I'm torn between getting this and getting the Galaxy Book4 Edge 😩
I'm a big Samsung fan but I don't think I'm ready for ARM's compatibility issues at the moment 💔

Nice vid, glad you asked for what I think of the laptop

My response s with hopes Asus takes a look at your vid and comments

My 7 year old mid range laptop now has 32 gigs of ram, thanks to upgradability, this box cannot be ram upgraded.

Base RAM in 2024 is 32 gigs for anyone needing their box relevant for more than a few years, on a non upgradable box 64 gigs is mandatory.

Damn, Asus is selling a zen 4 with 40 gigs, about 800 bucks, they need to make 64 gigs at least available, for me, if I can't upgrade in a few years, I'd want to have 124 when I buy in 2024, only considering 64 gigs as base if I'm strapped for the difference in price

These soldered SoCs with less than 64 gigs makes them "do not buy till they catch up with the times"is

I like it, especially the port selection. All 16-inch creator laptops should have these ports in my opinion. Replace the SD card reader with a numpad for business laptops to help accountants (Lenovo ThinkPad T16 G3).

The most impressive part is the full size SD card reader.

It’s not a Copilot+ certified laptop. You didn’t mention the battery life. I prefer ARM-based laptops with the Snapdragon X Elite processor

[ssanc]

I would like the g14 and g16 speakers on a non gaming laptop

[JanNiklasBenn]

Would you pick a m1 max macbook pro or the zenbook s16 for software development and cs studies? They are the same price...

I am not able to find this color. I wanted to order one.

Hi,
Does the Asus Zenbook S16 AI 9 365 laptop have a touch screen?

[TechWizz]

So what's the quality of the webcam like?

[AliAbidalkareem]

Whats going on with Windows? Is going the ARM route or x86 or both?

[thespiff]

Will this be coming out as a 14 inch version?

[jakebenson]

9:10 there is an easy solve out there. Getting linux - updates take 0 seconds or a minute playing it safe by update on reboot.

[sterlingbxyd]

i bought and returned this for a m3pro 16" and don't regret it a single bit. this thing gets WARM, even just doing regular tasks after a couple hours. an absolute deal breaker for me.
