Pros and Cons

Asus ZenBook 14X OLED

Strengths

Getting a really fast Core i7 CPU for a thousand dollars is a steal
A beautiful 2.8k OLED display with 120hz refresh rate gives you an incredible viewing experience
Integrated numpad is an awesome addition for those who work with numbers
The laptop features premium features found on ASUS's own Flagship series
The design of the ZenBook 14X OLED is really nice
It has a 20-thread 8-series chip inside, which is impressive for its price point
Performance mode squeezes 45 Watts out of the Core i7 CPU, keeping temperatures and noise in check
Whisper mode puts the laptop into a semi-passive mode that is quieter than most laptops

Weaknesses

The ZenBook 14X OLED gets well under nine hours battery life, which is a bit disappointing
Running a chip like Core i7 takes a serious hit on battery life
Battery life is sacrificed to get the powerful CPU inside this laptop
Performance results are inconsistent, sometimes it's ahead and other times laptops from 2022 end up being better
Gaming performance is mixed bag, it performs well for integrated Graphics but one percent lows can be dominated by other laptops
The ZenBook 14X OLED costs around 50% more with the 3900H and RT X3050, which is a bit pricey
There are plenty of other gaming laptops around the $1500 price point that give you better price to performance ratios without sacrificing too much weight
One percent lows in games can be dominated by other laptops, which is not ideal

Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 GU603

I'm disappointed to report that my experience with the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU603 laptop has been marred by a significant aesthetic defect - peeling on the chassis within just 28 days of use. This is unacceptable, especially considering the device's premium price tag. In this review, I'll document my findings and attempt to debunk any potential misuse or human error that may have contributed to this issue.
