Please review this year's version that the SuperNova SOM and investigate if there are any performance advantages from having memory and processing on the same module. Also can the modules be upgraded, from the current 13th Gen Intel to Meteor Lake? I'm thinking if I can swap modules then I don't need to new laptop everytime I want a CPU Upgrade.

I'm stuck between this, it's duo counterpart and the Zephyrus duo for music production and art. Your vids have been incredibly helpful. Cheers mate.

Did you mean Overengineering and it's a typo, or the title is on purpose? :D I will get to look at this later when I have time, honestly I am excited for AMD Zen 4 laptops more than anything. Btw I read yesterday your review of Intel's 1360P and it was incredibly well tested and informative! I love when processors themselves are getting tested, looking forward to the future ones.

I’m curious about this years model. Particularly the 4080 version

[drippykermit]

You guys need to update your review to the 4080 version. It looks like an absolute beast.

[Makta]

When can we expect a review of the brand new asus zenbook 14 pro ?Looks promising

[JoshuaG]

You should update your Cyberpunk 2077 patchfrom 1.5 to 1.61, a lot of bug fixes and they recently added AMD FSR 2.1 ❤ Granted this a Nvidia RTX 3060, you'll be using DLSS anyway, maybe for AMD powered laptops in the future to showcase the maximum performance of AMD cards 🥰 👍

[RockstarRomania]

Love how you slipped engineerung instead of engineering :D

[therealCameronMonti]

When is the RTX 4080 or 4070 version going to be available to purchase?

[bart]

I would really love to see Linux support in these reviews.

[TotallyNotEvil]

Nearly 9 hours for any high end notebook is great, but an Intel with an OLED display? Now that's outstanding power management, even with the big battery. Too expensive for me though, especially with a 3060. But then again, I'm not the product's target audience, and I'm sure professional photo/video/art studios and professionals will have no problem dropping that much on work machines.

[BriefNerdOriginal]

While this mechanism seems and looks cool, it means that one cannot take full advantage of the computing components with the laptop when closed. So, no external display in a clean desktop configuration.

[cameronbosch]

This video title is sounding very Geman! 😂

[aaronmcquaid]

when is the 2023 version with the 4080 coming out

[jwp-yhwh]

I'm considering between this model and the samsung galaxy book ultra 4050 model. What would you recommend?

[RESIDENCIALASROSASMadrid]

It's a shame they don't have AMD ZEN 4 Phoenix= DDR5 + RDNA 3 + USB 4.0 + HDMI 2.1 + AI with artificial intelligence and all at 5nm vs 10nm from Intel
Intel has fallen asleep or rather hibernated. Intel has been 4 long years with their unevolved integrated Xe graphics that you can only play minesweeper with, while AMD has gone from Zen 2 with Vega 8 --> Zen 3+ with RDNA2 and now with Zen 4 --> RDN3+ AI I just read The graphics of the Core 13 disappoints, it does not surpass the AMD Vega 8.

The AMD Phoenix CPUs will surpass the Apple M2 in performance and efficiency and that is what the public expects for more information put AMD ZEN 4 Phoenix in your search engine

ASUS lost me at "Soldered to the motherboard", good luck next year.

[alessi]

It’s possible to don’t rise the keyboard?

[lars]

Nah I learned my lesson already. Intel H anything = poor battery life. Ryzen models are the only "usable" ASUS laptops for me.

[anthwo]

Intel 1290H, RTX 3060...
I stopped watching right there.
