The ASUS VivoBook Pro 17 is slimmer and lighter than ever and is one of the most portable laptops in its class. It features the latest 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor, a 1080P FHD display with 72% NTSC, NVIDIA GeForce MX150 graphics, and the latest cooling and fast-charge technologies. The VivoBook Pro 17 provides you with all the multimedia essentials wrapped in a stylish package.

Consumer Reports

Inside this Asus model there’s an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, 512GB of fast solid-state storage, and a dedicated Nvidia graphics card. Those are all high-end components that combine to deliver excellent performance, even for complex tasks like editing and converting video and rendering 3D models.
Our testers described it as being a good—though not great—travel companion because it weighs 5 pounds (lighter than some competitors) and has a battery that lasts a little more than 5 hours under a heavy load and more like 7 hours under a light load.

 I think it's a pretty easy recommendation, i'm tempted to say that the standard non-pro vivobooks, like the vivobook 14, which starts at 700 pounds, might be a better value option, as you still get a 3050, the latest cpus and also an oled screen. But if you want that little bit extra performance, then the 14x here is definitely worth considering it's just a bit of a shame. This particular model isn't coming to the uk. But what really sets this apart is that samsung oled screen, which is just unbelievably good, a touchscreen, would have been nice and maybe glass bezels that are flush with the screen rather than these slightly protruding plastic ones

 90 hertz oled. It doesn't get much better than this and actually samsung reached out and offered to sponsor this video of the asus vivo book, because samsung displays make this screen, which we get on all vivo books of which there's about a billion different skus. But as always, all opinions are my own and having been using this for the past few weeks, i have to say i am very impressed. So asus make a ton of laptops

 The screen is top notch. What about performance? How fast is this? Well, i can only speak for the spec i have here with the ryzen 7. 5800H. 3050Ti graphics card 16

 You might see a few percent longer battery, although, while i haven't tested the larger 16x from reviews, i've seen it does look like battery is a lot better. In fact, in the digital trends review, they claim it lasted longer than the lg gram 16. Even though the vivobook has much faster hardware, so the big question: should you buy one of these new viva books? Well, yeah. I think so

Asus Vivobook Pro 14X Review - 90Hz OLED + RTX 3050 Ti!

Buy the cheapest option with long battery life like Asus Vivobook S15, Microsoft Surface Laptop 2, Google Pixelbook, all have relatively good keyboards.

I am looking to make it easier to get my thoughts down anywhere. Looking for a super portable with decent battery life and great keyboard.

Laptop for writing (portable word processor)

  Glad this model has a second hard drive. No issues with the keyboard backlight. Battery life was good. Weight was good

 Battery life was good. Weight was good. Touchpad and mouse buttons were pretty big, and I had to reach over a little more than I'm used to. I'm sure I would get used to it

Small annoyances

Updated with BIG downgrade: The laptop we received never worked right. We had problems from the start. Since this is an old model, I won't bother to write much, other than this was a complete waste of money. Sometimes it would hang, sometimes it would suddenly shut down

 One more important point is that the battery life isn't very good. I think roughly two hours with a new battery. The relatively small (light) battery is part of why this laptop is light. I like this tradeoff since I will mostly be at home and can plug in when needed, so I care more about weight than battery life

” Well, this particular model is more than half a pound (12%) heavier than that. The actual weight of N705UD-EH76 as purchased from Amazon is 5.17 lb = 2.345 kg

 It's hard to power a 17" screen very long without a big heavy battery. If you want long battery life, this is not your laptop. Still pleased with the machine. Would get 5 stars for good engineering compromises if it weren't for the terrible touchpad

Laptop actually 5.17 lbs (not 4.6 lbs as stated in the Product Details)

 The only problem though is I actually can't test this just yet. This is a pre-production model, Uh, which means I can't benchmark it. If I run any tests on this, then some Asus goons are going to barge through my door and take it off me. I had guns fired goons but what I can tell you is that it's using a new 3d vapor chamber cooling system

 So this guy can be specced with up to a 99 12, 900 H an Rtx 3060. although out of the three, this one does get slightly faster Ram 5200 megahertz versus 4800. The only problem though is I actually can't test this just yet. This is a pre-production model, Uh, which means I can't benchmark it

 but I really do appreciate Asus have gone full oled and full 16 by 10 across most of their lineup this year. Having that extra bit of vertical screen space makes such a big difference, and going back to a regular 16x9 screen just feels kind of confined. Now to avoid boring you all to death, the lovely people over at Asus marketing department have put together this one page little overview of the laptop and they clearly love a snazzy gradient color on the text. but this thing as you can see is ridiculously good

 They offer plenty of performance, color accurate screens, a good range of ports, and they're all squeezed into premium portable form factors. But let's kick off with this guy. the Vivobook Pro 16x Oled and this review sample is actually the super duper high-end model with some pretty beefy specs including the brand new I-912 900h and also the 30-70 Ti. No doubt this will also have a pretty beefy price tag as well, although I will update the description with final pricing and release dates for all these laptops

Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED review: snappy performance and a smooth screen

Dell XPS9310-7368SLV-PUS is engineered with: 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 Processor (12MB Cache, up to 4.8 GHz), 13.4-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) InfinityEdge Touch Anti-Reflective 500-Nit Display, 16GB 4267MHz LPDDR4x , 512 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics with shared graphics memory, Platinum Silve with Black carbon fiber palmrest.

RTINGS

If you need a portable device for general productivity tasks like web browsing, text formatting, and video playback, we recommend the Dell XPS 13 (2021), the best laptop with a thin and light design we've tested. It's a sleek and stylish Windows laptop with incredibly thin bezels and a sturdy aluminum chassis. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around, and its battery lasts over 10 hours of light productivity. It charges over USB-C, so you don't have to worry about lugging around a proprietary charger.

When it comes to user experience, the XPS 13 is truly among the best. It has a colorful 1080p display that gets bright enough to combat glare, and you can upgrade to a 4k IPS or OLED panel, albeit at the cost of shorter battery life. The keyboard feels great to type on and isn't tiring as its scissor switches have a good amount of travel and satisfying tactile feedback. The touchpad is reasonably large for such a compact device, and it tracks all movements and gestures well.

As for the configuration, unless you have an extremely light workload, most people should get at least a Core i5 with 8GB of memory. Going up to 16GB of memory isn't necessary; however, keep in mind that the memory isn't user-upgradeable, so it's better to get more upfront. Unfortunately, you only get two USB-C ports, a microSD card reader, and a headphone jack, but at least both USB-Cs support Thunderbolt 4. Overall, this is a great option for anyone looking for a portable and stylish laptop, and as many people are still working remotely, it's also one of the best laptops for home use.

Wirecutter

The Dell XPS 13 is thin and light, and it has long battery life, a great keyboard, a reliable trackpad, and a spacious screen.

The latest XPS 13 is thin and light, and it offers long battery life, a great keyboard, a reliable trackpad, and a spacious screen.

The best Windows laptop we've tested is the Dell XPS 13 (2021), an ultraportable designed for general productivity like web browsing, text formatting, and video playback. It's sleek, sturdy, and easy to carry around, with enough battery life to get you through a typical eight-hour day of light productivity. You get a sharp and bright display, a keyboard that feels comfortable to type on all day, and a large, responsive touchpad. It has a fingerprint sensor built into the power button and a Windows Hello-compatible IR camera for facial recognition, allowing you to log in quickly and get to work. You can spec it up to an Intel 11th Gen Core i7 CPU, 32GB of memory, and 2TB of storage. The main downside is that it only has two USB-C port/Thunderbolt 4 ports, so you'll likely need dongles or a dock for your wired peripherals or external displays.

If you need more screen space for multitasking, the LG gram 17 (2021) might be a better option. Its 17-inch screen gives you more screen real estate for split-screen multitasking, and due to its larger size, there's enough room on the keyboard deck for a Numpad, which is great for those working with lots of numbers. Yes, you'll need a bigger bag to carry it, but it weighs only 3.1lbs, and you probably won't need the charger because the battery life is outstanding. Plus, it has plenty of ports, so you can leave the dongle life behind.

Dell XPS is my vote. MacBook level build quality with a good range of options to fit your price and performance needs.

EDIT 9/29: thank you all for the responses—I wasn’t expecting so many! After some more consideration, the M1 MacBook Air sounds like it might actually be a better option than a gaming-specific laptop. I’ll wait and see what the M1X release looks like, but for now I’ll stick with an Apple product. Again I appreciate all of the help and suggestions!

Hi all! As the title says, I'm in the market for a new laptop to replace my rapidly aging Macbook Pro 2014 (13-inch). My parents are open to helping me make this purchase, and while they'd be open to a modern Macbook Pro cost, I'd prefer to move away from Apple.

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
$1300 USD

Are you open to refurbs/used?
No

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Honestly not too sure about this one... see below for what I'd want to use it for.

How important is weight and thinness to you?
Relatively important. I'd prefer something powerful but still professional-looking and sleek. I'd like to transport it with me to use in coffee shops, at friends' houses, etc., but I'd want to prioritize something powerful.

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
The 13-inch laptop I have is fine by me, but I wouldn't be averse to something larger.

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
I'd love to do some basic video editing and photo editing (with something like Gimp for photos). I also want to play games like Stardew Valley on Steam.

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
I like to play Stardew Valley and Pokémon RomHacks, so anything that can run up to DS-style graphics smoothly is good by me!

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
I'd prefer no touch-screen (or at least the ability to turn it off). All that really matters is a good keyboard for writing and such as well as drives to plug in devices, backup hard drive, etc.

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
Ultimately I'd like a laptop that will let me play and emulate games, write, make videos and edit photos, and stream YouTube. If it's durable and will last me a while, that's another bonus. 

Apologies for being abstract. I'm not a tech-y person so I'm not really sure about the exact specs I'm looking for. I appreciate any help I can get!


Parents are replacing my Macbook Pro (2014) but I'd prefer to not get another Apple product ($1300 USD, United States)

The laptop I recieved was not capable of the specs that were listed. The build quality was terrible. It was supposed to a Dell xps 13 9310 but it had the look and feel of a Dell 3100 chromebook. There is a $1500 difference in the price between the two models but it seemed like Amazon thought they were the same

 It was supposed to a Dell xps 13 9310 but it had the look and feel of a Dell 3100 chromebook. There is a $1500 difference in the price between the two models but it seemed like Amazon thought they were the same. I would not purchase this laptop unless you want an overpriced chromebook.
