      Thanks. In my case, separate gpu isn't must. I buy this laptop for my high school son who play games sometimes.

      Get the Swift X

      • HappyBargainer on 07/04/2023 - 11:30

        I don't mind paying about of more up to $1200. Is Acer still the best?

          Yes, get the Swift X

    • LimeAlz on 07/04/2023 - 11:12

      Swift X is the better one imo
      I bought the swift x from that deal and a few things i found from using it for 2-3 days.

      Battery last a long time like 8-9 hr for multiple chrome tabs and coding. Build is solid. Doesn't heat up uncomfortably while gaming. Pretty light.

      Wifi is slow, i dont know if it is because of mediatek wifi card but download speed doesnt exceed 6mb for some reason despite the speed test showing 50 mb. It's not just my unit the same thing occur on notebookcheck review unit. But i think u can swap the wifi card easily and it should fix it. I ordered the ax200 so i dont know if new wifi card would fix.

      Trackpad sometimes misses click i dont know if it's my unit but it happen very rarely but it still happens

      • HappyBargainer on 07/04/2023 - 11:30

        I recently bought Lenovo L14 gen 3 which has a very annoying issue: all keys aren't working while waking up the device. It happens randomly. Really needs a reliable laptop.

        • LimeAlz on 07/04/2023 - 11:35

          The wifi is the only issue i have encountered so far and its not like it disconnect or drop out. It's just slow for some reason. If you have any more question let me know as well.

          • HappyBargainer on 07/04/2023 - 11:43

            @LimeAlz: Do you think that wifi issue is a major issue as 6mbps is extreme slow speed? Windows update all could have troubles.

        6mb/s is about the same as 50mbps btw.
        6x8=48

          Just for further clarification:

          MB (Capital B) = Megabyte
          Mb (lower case b) = Megabit
          1 byte = 8 bits.

          So 6 MB/s = 48Mb/s

    • Elquines on 07/04/2023 - 11:43

      Depends on your usage. The Thinkpad is the inferior one, unless you like the build and design + want to use a lenovo. Thinkpad comes with upgradable so keep that in mind.

      Zenbook has a 2.5K, 16:10 display which is far better. Choose the zenbook if you like better display and entertainment. Acer comes with graphic GTX 1650 albeit a FHD display and U processor

      • Elquines on 07/04/2023 - 11:50

        For your son, it’s better to get a ideapad flex 5 because it’s 2-in-1. Potentially save some $$ in the long run if he does uni

          2 in 1’s are heavier than traditional laptops, and I’m not really sure how often people fold them back.

      • HappyBargainer on 07/04/2023 - 11:53

        Thanks I searched around. I was hoping to find this laptop in a physical store. But none of major stores like JB hi-fi or Bing Lee has this laptop.

          Yea somehow it’s hard to shop the zenbook. I recommend local computer stores. They do have stocks sometimes

          I’d just go with the zenbook because it’s aesthetic and has a 2.5K 16:10 display

    Bought this laptop in February for $1399, 75wh battery and 7530u can give you more than 15 hours of battery life, unlike the laptop with 12th gen Intel CPUs, claimed 10 hours battery life, actual battery life is below 4 hours for most 14inchs and the temperature is always above 50° with noisy fans.

    You can upgrade the warranty to 3 years pick up and return warranty through my Asus desktop app use code APCARE for $134

    • HappyBargainer on 07/04/2023 - 11:32

      How is your experience? Is there any annoying issues of this laptop?

      • Bargainable on 07/04/2023 - 12:21

        The hinge is not tight like MacBook, but it is acceptable.

        The SSD inside is Micron 2400, a low end gen4 SSD, I changed it myself to P31 Gold after 3 days.

        • HappyBargainer on 07/04/2023 - 12:41

          Is that worth the price tag? I am not really a laptop expert. Thanks

            @HappyBargainer: Pros are efficient cpu, higher res screen, 16:10 aspect ratio is very nice, huge battery. If you want a laptop which isn’t too heavy and you’re mostly using it for normal office tasks, it’s pretty reasonable. Cheaper laptops generally have shittier screens/battery.

            @HappyBargainer: This laptop should be the best battery life 14 inch laptop under $1300, which has a 2.5k screen, but this laptop is not the best performance 14 inch under $1300, it really depends on what you are focusing

            • HappyBargainer on 07/04/2023 - 13:37

              @Bargainable: Thanks. I am trying to find two or three laptops then I will do a bit of more researches to decide the final purchase.

                +4

                @HappyBargainer: Intel cpus are performance beasts, but the temperature and battery life will be terrible, if you are going to use only office tasks plus Chrome browsing, the amd CPU ends with U will be your best choices, coz they don't get hot like Intel CPUs, so no noisy fans, and they can give you better battery life. Because this Asus zenbook 14 got the biggest battery(75whr) I have ever seen in 14inch laptop, so it lasts amazingly long, and this zenbook got 16:10 bigger screen for better browsing experience with a 2.5k resolution, and you can easily pay $134 use code APCARE in myasus app to upgrade to 3 years pick up return warranty.
                I was using a Dell 16 7620 2in1 with i7 1260p, I paid around $2000, and I got around 3 hours of actual battery life with 60° temperature for performance I don't need, so I then researched 3 days and came up with this laptop back in February, hope my previous experience can help you choosing the correct laptop and don't waste money like me ;)

                  In addition, does this laptop have any minor issue such as clicking not working, keyboard etc? Overall , is reliable?

                  • Bargainable on 07/04/2023 - 16:55

                    @HappyBargainer: Yeah my unit was perfect, no defects so far, and I like the 1.4mm keyboard, the Lenovo laptop you showed was not Worthing $1380, smaller battery, 4 core hot 11thgen CPU without 2.5 resolution and no Harman Kardon sound enhancement, not recommended at all!

                  @Bargainable: To add to your point Intel 12 and 13th generation CPUs have horrible performance per watt. There is a reason why AMD is in multiple devices from consoles, hand helds, laptops, all they way through the fastest servers. They provide much better performance per watt. There are plenty of independent reviews out there which indicate this as noted below:

            • happychappy1 on 07/04/2023 - 14:37

              @Bargainable: Also, this laptop is aluminium skin, plastic core, so it might not fare too well in a drop.

              • Bargainable on 07/04/2023 - 16:58

                @happychappy1: But ASUS is stating this zenbook 14 got something called MIL-STD-810H standard, but I am not sure if this standard is for marketing purposes or it is really something ;(

                • happychappy1 on 08/04/2023 - 00:59

                  @Bargainable: It might be ok then, but still, the internal pictures show metal screw holes set into plastic. I've seen a lot of broken plastic screw posts.

          This thing is laggy as. Really disappointed with it to the point I want to return it.

          Did the SSD upgrade help?

          Seems to lag with the most basic of tasks. Opening anything, loading pages etc.

    • jwh on 07/04/2023 - 13:43

      I bought a Lenovo Yoga from this deal with the Intel i5-11300H.

      The battery life does not go anywhere near the claims. It's actually exactly as you say, 4hrs or less on a full charge while using Office apps and a browser with battery saver mode on. I had my heart set on a Ryzen at the time, and wish I hadn't compromised.

      The rest of the laptop is pretty solid, but I'd definitely go for a more efficient Ryzen CPU next time.

      • shroomish on 07/04/2023 - 15:34
        +1

        battery claims are based on running an internal clock with the screen off and favourable wind conditions.

        • jwh on 07/04/2023 - 17:04

          … and make sure you don't look at it the wrong way too

      • Bargainable on 07/04/2023 - 17:02

        Amd laptops with U series cpu don't need battery save mode to last more than 6 hours, especially with ASUS zenbook 14 and expertbook 13&14 series, ASUS put giant battery into small units and make it last longer for no reason

  • dogsryummy on 07/04/2023 - 13:00
    +1

    Just a reminder that with AMD's change of naming scheme 7530U no longer refers to the newest generation of processor with the latest features and connectivity. This processor is a rebranded Ryzen 5 5600U from 2 years ago, the only thing that's changed is the name.

    Probably won't matter to the vast majority of people, but it's good to at least keep in mind. It's a sturdy processor nonetheless.

    • Bargainable on 07/04/2023 - 13:36

      Yeah, and that is the reason why this laptop can last longer, because the CPU is not a beast, so it is perfect for office use/travel use (top tier battery life 14inch under $1300)

      • dogsryummy on 07/04/2023 - 14:14
        +2

        Newer CPUs of the same class can last even longer

        7530U = Zen 3
        7535U = Zen 3+
        7640U = Zen 4

    • Stylez on 07/04/2023 - 14:20

      So a 7530u is zen 3 based, while 6600u for eg is zen 3+. Makes no sense that a 7 is older than a 6, very anti consumer imo

      • dogsryummy on 07/04/2023 - 14:28

        7520U is even worse, that's based on Zen 2 (2019 architecture).

      • Wonderfool on 07/04/2023 - 16:49
        +3

        So I just found out how it bloody works.

        They're going to refresh older CPUs and name them under the 7 series.

        The important number in the 7 series is the 3rd number, that tells you which generation it is.

        • Stylez on 11/04/2023 - 13:38
          +1

          Yeah it's super confusing, not even the 3rd number in some cases - eg above for 7530U and 7535U, this case it's the last number to differentiate between Zen 3 and 3+.

          From that example I would guess Zen 2 is 7525U right? Nope it's 7520U 😕

    • HappyBargainer on 07/04/2023 - 18:43

      I feel that manufacturer did purposely this way in order confuse users. I am not into the laptop and just buy the laptop as recommended by online people or googling online reviews. I definitely confused about the name if you didn't point out. So the CPU of this laptop is two years old which could be the reason for the price.

  • PeeDee on 07/04/2023 - 13:22

    I'm confused why this community is obsessed with higher nits and the standard is totally fine because laptops are mostly used indoors anyway, thus not requiring such high amounts. If you require high amount, then what are you going to be using your laptop for??

      Pretending to work at brightly lit coffee shops I'm guessing.

    • happychappy1 on 07/04/2023 - 14:42

      If your display is a 400+ nit low power display, it means it can go brighter if you choose to work outside, or lower the brightness to a comfortable level inside and save a bit of power. Also higher quality displays with wider colour gamuts are generally also brighter (vs. dim, washed out budget displays). It's all about the visual quality and flexibility. Even indoors, some lighting can be quite bright.

  • panky on 07/04/2023 - 14:01

    Not saying this is not a great deal, but it doesn't come with Thunderbolt for anyone thinking about running an eGPU like I am. Hopefully USB4 will solve this problem for the future.

    • abadacus on 07/04/2023 - 15:01

      Thunderbolt is an Intel technology. This has an AMD processor

        More AMD laptops are coming out with USB4, which is essentially Thunderbolt 3. Not much difference between Thunderbolt 3 and 4 in terms of overall bandwidth at 40Gbps.

    • happychappy1 on 08/04/2023 - 13:04

      No. LPDDR4X (soldered). Anything "LPDDR" is soldered. You want "SODIMM" if it's to be socketed and upgradable. Of course, if you have the right equipment and know-how, you could upgrade soldered RAM.

      The 1340p is essentially only has 4P cores. The rest are just E cores. Intel at moment are very power inefficient, due to being on an inferior node to AMD. If you want to use Photoshop or Lightroom, you may look at this deal with Ryzen Cpu and Nvidia GPU, in a small form factor, with good battery life.
