For the first time, the ZenBook 13 is available with either an Intel or an AMD SoC. We already reviewed the AMD version (89%) that, unfortunately, still has poor availability, and now it's the Intel competitor's turn. Will the review reveal a clear decision in favor of one of the two manufacturers?

Let me say it again. Audio jack via USB-C is one of the most retarded things ever. That makes this notebook completely worthless for me. I hope ASUS corrects this big mistake in next year's model.
The display is just not acceptable, despite the color accuracy
60 hz pwm is lower than even many entry level OLED phones.
And the awful brightness distribution. If this is their QC one should better spare a whole week when buying this laptop for one may need a refund/rma.
I regret that the tested games are not the same between the Intel and AMD review. It could have been a terrific comparison of Intel vs. AMD integrated GPU for games (not just benchmarks), with two laptops that share very similar cases and market.
Right now all we can guess is that AMD may be still in the lead, based on X-Plane and DotA results, but that's only two measurement points.
No headphone jack, this automatically disqualifies the laptop.
I can't believe they included usb-a and hdmi (regular size even) and took out the headphone jack. Not that they can exclude them, they are also essential, but c'mon
