[QUOTE="axmac, post: 2428763, member: 98710"] I was keenly following Asus laptops in 2022 and was excited to hear of their refreshed lineup, so I jotted them down on docs so I can compare easily. Every model has a 'Best' and a 'Worst' SKU because some markets get stuck with the poorer cousin even when reviewers advertise the best. [URL]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j6UROkaG5ZyoMusz4QmJJ_Mme2Fuj7N9TumVNZGfZqY/edit?usp=sharing[/URL] Observations so far: [LIST=1] [*]G16 looks nerfed this year with a forced 720p webcam and only IPS options. [*]G16 has also moved away from Ryzen to Intel 13th Gen, so that's any 'battery king' awards down the drain. (Warning - It has an Intel 12th Gen CPU in the i7 version HMM ASUS HMM) [*]G14 seems to be somewhere between G16 and M16 this year, with a 1080p webcam and a Mini LED option [*]But the G14 it has HUGE variations between its top and bottom models - Top is a Zen 4 AMD CPU + 4090 with a QHD Mini LED, while the bottom is a Zen 3+ + 3050 + FHD IPS (Developing countries ftw). [*]M16 seems to be the most well rounded product this year. Really nothing to rage about. If the battery is upwards of 5h, I might go for this one. [*]Flow X16 has jumped ship from Ryzen to Intel, kinda bizarre. I was willing to live with its caveats in 2022 and almost bought it, but the 2023 one is not for me. [*]Flow X13 has a tasty Ryzen Gen 4 CPU/RDNA 3 iGPU/FHD/75Wh option which should be a budget battery champ with 1650 level GPU performance at 1.3Kgs. Unfortunately the screen is only 75% DCI-P3 and I am guessing maxes out at 400 nits. [*]Flow Z13 has only QHD options with a 56Wh battery, combined with Intel i9-13900H. This one seems more like a small desktop replacement. Expect it to be always powered in? [*]Scar 16 has a tasty Mini LED option, but bizarrely, the Scar 18 does not. Maybe an 18 inch Mini LED isn't manufactured for ASUS? Interesting that you lose value when you get a *likely* more expensive product. [/LIST] Which laptop makes the most sense for you this year? Let me know if you found any mistakes in the list! I will update it with Legion, Razer etc later. But ASUS does have the widest variety every year, so way more fun to compare :) [/QUOTE]
