The 14-inch ExpertBook weighs less than 1000 grams (2.2 lbs) and gets a significant boost in performance this year, thanks to a new Tiger Lake chip. Moreover, the Asus laptop now comes with Thunderbolt 4 instead of Thunderbolt 3 and the display has gotten brighter. But did the new version get only the reasonable upgrades or is there something to be critical about? Read our extensive review to find out!

LMAO
I realize this isn't a gaming laptop but often look there to get an idea about how loud the fans might get under load and this is louder then most gaming laptops !
Those temperatures are bad, imo. Even for business machines standard, this is a pretty bad design from Asus. Single fan + short copper heatsink like if this was a low end machine is shameful
The only outstanding thing I see is Gen 2 USB ports despite giving 2 x Thunderbolt 4. Temperatures and throttling not good.
*bottom temperature 57 degrees Celsius
"Nevertheless, these temperatures are not extreme."
you know this already means you'd never want this thing on lap right? any extended period of time you could hurt yourself!
this temperature might be acceptable for powerhouses like workstation or gaming laptops, but this is a portable business use device; this should not happen
people arguing why some just love mac more. here's one reason. even intel-based macbook pro 13 manages to keep bottom temperature under 40 degrees Celsius, as tested in your "MacBook Pro 13 2020 in Review: Apple's subnotebook only gets the mandatory update" review (sorry not allowed to paste link directly, low post count) meaning users can happily use it on his/her lap while on the go *without looking for a table or he/she may bake him/her-self*, not to mention those even cooler m1-based macs.
apple may sell over-priced machines, but it's often not the case when other aspects taken into consideration, such as temperature.

What an idiotic comment. The 2020 MacBook Pro 13 weighs 50% more. There are 100s of other laptops around that weight which don't get as hot.
No mention if this model has a Touch screen. Does anyone know?
