    Warranty Void for removing CoPilot.

    Are you high Asus? Good luck with Miku carrying your dumpster fire.

              When will you review it's 14" model?

                Anonymous, 14 Apr 2025Well Intel lost the battle so ryzen is the clear winnerso that means you want a monopoly right?
                because even if amd's current chips are better. if they have a monopoly, they will steadily get worse over time as they have no competition.

                        PLEASE get something else. I got an HP Omnibook Ultra 14 for $860 pre tax open box excellent from best buy, and that has a higher res IPS with a ryzen 365 and 32gb ram, which demolishes this in every respect.

                          I'd rather buy a macbook than an ARM based Windows laptop

                            Anonymous, 13 Apr 2025Asus' product page says the display on this has a 45% ... moreThanks for that. The product page I was viewing still does not mention the color space coverage. 45% NTSC is significantly lower than 100% sRGB coverage so I can see why they aren't keen on mentioning it on some countries' websites.

                              The lack of RAM upgradeability is not forgivable ⚠️

                                  ➕ Numpad

                                  ➖ Half-sized keys should be legally forbidden

                                  ➕ IPS (Why pay a premium for the eyestrain of OLED???)

                                  ➖ Qualcomm. UGHH!

                                  ➕ Ports! Ports! Ports!

                                  ➖ Charging port just on one side!

                                  ➕ Display opens 180 degrees

                                  ➖ All the fancy software crap (3DNR, immersive sound & noise cancelling, screen extend, antibacterial keys) is going to work on Windows but not Linux

                                  ➿ Half-decent runtime for relatively small battery and large screen

                                  ➖ Side fans would've be nice for setting on soft surfaces w/o compromising spill resistance

                                  4.5 unweighted pluses, 5.5 unweighted minuses. IMO, somewhere between "meh" and "okay"

                                      What a crap,but expensive,100wh battery easy fit in make fanles ,oled...
                                      But this just video and web browsing,no video render like MacBook air

                                        with all this especially small motherboard, more thinner but weighs the same as my gaming laptop which has aluminum on the lid also in palm rest, cheaper and has more powerful GPU. Crazy price and not worth it.. ARM still can't game and many apps are still not supported well.

                                        come on Redmi, Infinix, Poco, Realme make cheap Snapdragon laptop for us.
