The longest lasting x86 laptop

AMD did a pretty good with the new Ryzen AI 9 chip. This ASUS Zenbook S16 battery lasts almost as long as ARM based machines.

I opened YouTube to search exactly for the HX370 battery life test, and this popped up.
Lol

Apple fanboy touching anything non Apple: "this plastic is not metallic enough"

High Performance mode (the one you used, not the one in the settings app) isn't really a fair comparison to MacBooks. This mode does force the system to always feed max power to the processor even if not needed, thus overruling all processor features to scale performance based on usage.

The fairest one would be best performance under settings.

one more thing, when you compare different models, kindly do these:
1) Set brightness to same levels, using that specific tool, spider something
2) on OLED and mini LED laptops, Dark mode makes significant contribution to the battery usage. So I think testing all laptops with white mode gives fair comparison, and OLED laptops then have bonus offering extra battery if on dark mode.

Hey man. I’ve been watching your videos for a while already and I just wanted to say thank you. Really quality content and casual style. Perfect, 👍

[DunckingTest]

I plan to buy a laptop in six months, and I'm really hoping ARM-based chips will improve significantly in terms of native app support by then.

I really hate the white caps with white backlight. I had an ASUS G14 for a while and from experience, the white-on-white is just impossible to read in anything but a dark room. Darker color keycaps would be much better for legibility.

The portable monitor at 4:00 looks sick, have you made a video on it?

[ricardosmith]

So I actually never used to click the track pad until I bought a Mac (thanks a lot apple). On windows I would always do a tap which works everywhere so that whole diving board thing was never an issue. Now when I go back to windows machines I find myself clicking and getting annoyed 🤦

9:44 As far as i can see those graphs don't account for screen size or brightness, which makes them inaccurate for rating a chip's efficiency.

You need to use LPF. The low freqs are reducing vocal clarity..

[VNYL]

Yess. I do want more data points with the out of the box power plan because that's the intended use. I would imagine that it will be wasteful to keep the core clocks up high while watching youtube videos. And also for Average Efficiency

[lakshaysiwach]

How about performance on balanced power plan also the work done chart for balanced power plan

[Zoolookuk]

You should also check out the Asus ProArt 13, it's also beautifully made and has the Ryzen 9 AI 370.

[Janhouse]

How the hell did you measure Apple silicon laptops? There is no "high power" plan on MacOS. I think it is wrong to even put it in the "high power", since the defaults of balanced should be good for most workloads and that is the default as most people will use their laptop.

[abhishekkr]

Seriously does anyone ever need to press to click when just a single touch works perfectly fine. How does it matter if you can click at the top or not? A single click which is much faster and easier works.
They don't even need to make the trackpad clicky even at the bottom, there is literally no use for that. Just give a solid trackpad with no movements at all.

[FredrikLiljeblad]

What a huge difference with the balanced plan. Please go back and add the comparison of the laptops you still have to compare with. It would be very interesting.

[StrashniNS]

Why no efficiency graph for balanced power mode? BTW gr8 review!

[kamilhorvat]

With USB-C charging and 100Wh powerbank in my pocket, I don't really worry about battery life anymore.

[rainbow_mess]

How are the fans? That's the main thing I really appreciate about the ARM laptops ... they're so quiet. I was worried about the SL7's fans but they basically never turn on, and the laptop only gets a little warm to the touch if I'm doing strenuous things.
