 Every mode offers something different, but even in the highest setting the zenbook 13 never really got loud. The only annoying thing was performance mode ended up running the fans at higher rpm levels during idle times like just web browsing as far as surface temperatures goes well. This thing's really well behaved guys and you don't have to worry about popping this thing into your lab every now and then, but how does this all translate into frequencies, temperatures and power well in high performance mode? Asus is running the 5800u, pretty close to its 25w limit, at least for the first four minutes of testing. Then it starts drawing back to about 21 watts and stays there until the rest of our test

 Our sample comes with the new zen. 3. 5800U, with 16 gigabytes of ram and a terabyte of storage, now in terms of pricing uh, i'm thinking that it's going to be a thousand dollars, even though that it's not confirmed, but that's what we've been hearing so that, if that's true, that's pretty amazing. Now, from the outside, this laptop looks a lot like the zenbook 14 that we looked at last year featuring the 4700u processor

 This thing's really well behaved guys and you don't have to worry about popping this thing into your lab every now and then, but how does this all translate into frequencies, temperatures and power well in high performance mode? Asus is running the 5800u, pretty close to its 25w limit, at least for the first four minutes of testing. Then it starts drawing back to about 21 watts and stays there until the rest of our test. Standard mode actually looks like a bunch of waves at the beginning where it goes between 17 watts and 18 watts, but it behaves a lot like performance since, after about 10 minutes, it levels off at 14, watts and whisper well. That just sticks to just 10 watts, and that leads to both standard and high performance hitting well above amd's all-core base clock of 1

 The most interesting thing is that this just walked all over the zenbook flip s, which uses an intel core i7 1165g7, and it has the exact same battery size. I guess that just goes to prove that amd's power management is just really really good, even under heavy load. The zenbook 13 is getting almost four hours of use time, which is also pretty impressive. This is also an area where the intel-based zenbook flip s really puts the pedal to the metal and runs right to the front

Ryzen 7 5800U is Incredible...EXCEPT - ASUS Zenbook 13 OLED Review

Verdict - AMD or Intel?

ASK HN: What's your setup?

You cannot go wrong with the ASUS ZenBook Flip 13, One of the best laptops out there right now. Powerful yet slim and compact.

Out of these two the Zenbook. But do you really need one with a screen that flips? Those are known to cause issues in the long run.

The Asus one is basically better in everything at least on paper.

Help me choose between these two laptops

I’m looking for a laptop for school, my budget is 900 max, any suggestions?


What is the best laptop for students?

I am looking to get a laptop with at least a Ryzen 4500U, 8gb of ram, 500gb ssd, decent display and good battery life. I have been looking at the acer swift 3, asus vivobook s14, ideapad 5 slim and the dell inspiron 14 5000. 

So far from the reviews, the acer, asus and lenovo have disappointing screens and the dell has a very small battery. 

Can anyone recommend a laptop that suits my requirements?
