Bosic012, 04 Aug 2024It doesn't have Thunderbolt?This isn't INTEL, So of course NO Thunderbolt 4. However, they have USB 4 ports. Same same functionalities

    Pls test native ARM64 apps, 7z, CPU-z, hwinfo (newest beta), and World of Warcraft which has a native aarch64 client. Everyone tests various games that require emulation/translation instead of native. WoW isn't that popular anymore, but it's a modern native ARM64 game.

      please use and test this laptop as you would do with your personal laptop/PC

      app compatability is the major concern here

      if all the apps you need to use work on this laptop, that's good enough imo

        Man it should've been 2880x1880, I need 16:10 ratio for a laptop.

          yes yes yes

            soldered ssd or not

              It doesn't have Thunderbolt?

                Of all the SD Elite X machines, the Surface Laptop is the best. You should review that unit.

                  Darth Caesium, 03 Aug 2024Why couldn't Asus have used an AMD Ryzen AI HX 370 (I ... moreQualcomm has much better idle and stand-by efficiency than AMD (something they've struggled with a for a while) and at low power, will do better than AMD. I agree on app compatibility but ARM does have it's place. We're going to see new entrants to the PC market such as Samsung and Mediatek using ARM processors, which makes more competition.

                    X Plus X1P-64-100

                    X Elite X1E-84-100


                    They should like these for example..

                    X Pro
                    X Elite
                    X Elite Plus

                      Biggest buzzword with ARM PC is their efficiency.
                      Then GSMArena please provide information about Perf/Watt & overall battery endurance compared to comparable Intel,AMD & Macs.

                        If only it were cheap... I hope that ARM powered windows laptops get even better by the end of the year became this is some serious stuff...

                          Anonymous, 03 Aug 2024MSI is better than AsusMmm not really, if anything MSI lacks behind especially in build quality.. check the build quality tests of the MSI GF63 if you don't believe me.

                            Darth Caesium, 03 Aug 2024Why couldn't Asus have used an AMD Ryzen AI HX 370 (I ... morebecause Ryzen realized that they were in a hurry to name their chipset r3 r5 r7 r9 then there was no chance to model the AI, the goal is clear so that the new AI chipset no longer has a name that can be ranked, and make no difference between other AI chipsets by changing the strategy to the old way that makes it difficult for people to differentiate, this is good for the early days of the AI chipset industry which was still in the process of development, like the 2000s.

                                  Its a weird but decent parody at a Huawei Matebook. Meh overall, amazing display.

                                    GSMArena team, you have so many devices in for review. Is your review team that big to handle all these devices?
                                    Earbuds, laptops, watches, smartphones, smart rings...?
                                    Phew!

                                      Why couldn't Asus have used an AMD Ryzen AI HX 370 (I know the name is ridiculous, blame AMD for it for choosing to copy Intel's equally ridiculous new naming scheme) while keeping everything else the same? There's no reason to buy an ARM laptop right now unless you want a Macbook (and like/can tolerate MacOS), because there are lots of software compatibility issues with ARM on Windows (and Linux) and even if an x86-to-ARM translation layer ends up existing, the performance will always be bad and have a huge hit on battery life. Plus, AMD actually has better efficiency than Qualcomm does in their processors.
