You shouldn't use the 30 min Cinebench test as it's fundamentally contradictory. The whole idea of processors is to "race to sleep". The more performant processors that complete far more work in the same span of time are made to look artificially worse than processors which complete less work in the same amount of time. So the test should be about completing a finite task plus idle time (if applicable) over a standard period of time, then checking to see how much the battery ran down.

Such as: complete 10 renders. Or the test should note how many renders were able to be completed in a set amount of time and what the battery % used per render was.

Surprising they cheaped out a bit with the keyboard and track pad on an ostensibly top of the line thin and light.

Just got this laptop today and am loving the feel of it so far (waited for the first open box unit at Best Buy for $100 off). The only annoyance so far is this half second delay when using swipe gestures to switch virtual desktops (it's instant using shortcuts). I know it's a general Windows thing but it feels even slower than usual. Have you guys seen the same?

edit: Switched my desktop background to a solid color and it instantly fixed it. According to a random thread I found, it's due to wallpapers that aren't the exact same aspect ratio of the display. Just Windows things...

I purchased it a week ago. It feels smooth and great unlike how this video showed it, I do agree with them about the web cam and the brightness but the brightness is excellent indoor but outdoor you will notice it but its not that bad you can work with it comfortably.

In regards to pricing, what happened is people showed Apple that they're willing to bend over. Other brands took notice.

You need a “Josh Score” that rates and weights all the various metrics and compare against laptops of same category. Kind of how Doug Demuro does for cars.

These new s14 and s16 laptops are beautiful but the price for both machines is unreasonable

[PlatinAviation]

All the new processors are very interesting and make it hard to decide which laptop to get! Will you be reviewing the new Asus TUF A14 with Ryzen AI 9?

I like Cierra, she's a great presenter and should be on camera more often.

Waiting for yoga slim 7i to be available (can't find it anywhere yet) or praying for a lunar lake surface 7 laptop (man I love that blue colour)

[kevenCodes]

I really like the presentation on this channel. Great job!

[niklashofmann]

I'm really excited to see how it measures up against the HP Omnibook Ultra Flip! :)

The Just Josh Cinematic Universe is expanding everyday, thanks Jarred, an Ethan for the cameo, and thanks Cierra for carrying the video

Need that battery life video asap!

I do moderate performance tasks and battery life is priority over all else

The 14" OLED panel (non-touch) on the HP Omen Transcend 14 actually hits 616 nits on HDR mode. It is the same resolution (2880x1800) as this Asus S 14 and does not have the screen door effect. Makes me think that in addition to a lower quality keyboard and trackpad, Asus also went with a cheaper OLED option.

[AyoHues]

Great review, I think you covered everything. I’ve looked at this laptop in person and it’s a real shame that ASUS don’t seem to be offering the Scandinavian White in most markets. That’s a really standout colour and looks a lot more premium and sophisticated in a sea of very similar looking dark grey laptops.

[rramnel]

Thanks for this detailed and honest review. I was this close to ordering one and your video came up on my YouTube feed. I immediately watched it and I have decided now not to order it. Low brightness with the screen door effect is a no go for me. And I expected the laptop to also feel premium like the Macbook with such a high price tag. It costs 1700€ here in Germany BTW

[djayjp]

Yes! Please do a comprehensive app launching speed test roundup!

[bahrijagolubovic]

Been waiting for this video! Thanks guys!

[chiaza]

Looking forward to the omnibook ultra flip review 😊
