Title: Asus Zenbook S UX393JA Laptop Review: The Microsoft Surface Alternative
Post by: Redaktion on October 15, 2020, 18:23:13
The ZenBook S series is moving away from the standard 16:9 aspect ratio to the more office-friendly 3:2. Results are impressive and definitely worth a look if you were considering a Surface, XPS, or MateBook in the near future.

AMD's premier Ryzen 7 4800U is finally starting to hit store shelves. Results are insane for a 14-inch subnotebook to the point where it'd be tough to recommend an Intel counterpart when given the same price.

Oh wait, you wrote that about a Yoga laptop.  Yeah, I can see why you wouldn't want to compare the intel CPU in this zenbook to anything making use of an AMD CPU.

I approve of the return to a 3:2 aspect ratio.  16:10 does seem to be a slightly better option though, as it doesn't add as much weight.

Who's in the mood for some beta-testing?

@Jesse - Exactly my sentiments! I was also puzzled why such a mainstream laptop is only compared to 2 other devices - and none of them are AMD Ryzen 2 powered.

Typical Allen Ngo again... do you think readers are idiots? Your rigged  comparison is pointless and incredibly misleading. If you can't do a proper comparison, its better not to do any at all since it makes this and the other 2 Intel powered devices look better than they really are.

Apparently Notebookchat must be on the Intel gravy train and unable to give truthful reviews. I'll bear that in mind and never recommend this website to anybody less knowledgeable than average then!

Ah yes the premium laptop with a huge HDMI sticker on it. Goes to show Asus's vision for their computers. Will never buy a laptop from them.
