This one is last year's model which has no thunderbolt ports but bigger battery, the 2022 version has thunderbolt ports

I just bought this laptop for my sister today and she is very happy with it. Upgrading from Dell Inspiron 7373 2-in-1. Master's Student. The 14" OLED screen and the 16GB ram convinced her. I was initially suggesting Expertbook B9.

Proof of purchase

Buying a laptop is so tricky, you have to look up the model numbers and find out the minuscule difference between each models. Visited ASUS AU website so many times. Also it is rare to find that exact model on display at store but luckily this one was. I used staticice to compare prices and even that didnt have all the stores. better to just google the model number and see which stores popup.

    How is there even a 1.2% surcharge for debit card?

    • yummycoot on 10/11/2022 - 00:50

      no idea, I bought in-store. I just saw now that all the pay later options and bank transfer have no fees.

      maybe debit card is treated as credit card on their store.

    • plmko on 10/11/2022 - 01:17

      Look up Merchant facility costs.

    Isn't this better? It has better everything.other than the screen

    • yummycoot on 10/11/2022 - 00:53

      good for those wanting touchscreen and 2-in-1. Have had enough after dell inspiron 2-in-1.

      • O O on 10/11/2022 - 01:11

        Curious, what's the disavantage of 2-in-1?

        • yummycoot on 10/11/2022 - 02:15

          audio issues, battery replacement, the bend loosening, not easy to replace parts if needed.

          touchscreen issues, face recognition constantly draining out battery.

          4 years of using the dell inspiron 2-in-1, needed to replace battery within the first year.

            @yummycoot: Okay but this is a link to a Lenovo 2in1

            • yummycoot on 10/11/2022 - 11:18

              @BigPeeper: Yes and the question was about 2-in-1 in general

                @yummycoot: none of those things are inherently related to 2 in 1 laptops. Any laptop can have those issues you've mentioned

                • yummycoot on 10/11/2022 - 17:23

                  @BigPeeper: well they have happened to my sister's dell inspiron 2-in-1 but didnt happen with my non 2-in-1 dell laptops.

                  the bend that I am talking about, it is only present in the 2-in-1 laptops. I have seen similar issue with my friend's hp x360 convertible.

    This or macbook pro 14 inch? The luxury and flex of owning an Apple product is a big factor for me

      Mac and this is coming from someone that hates using one

      MBP ftw.

      MBP is unstoppable!

      Well if you are fine with using Mac OS and applications supported within that environment. For those of us that need to use Windows, Linux, BSD this is a better option.

      Despite Apples claims the screen is still IPS and inferior to 90hz OLED, 600 nits, on this panel.

      In terms of CPU performance. Whilst the M1 Pro has better single core performance the 5825u has better multicore performance.

      https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-7-5825U-vs-Ap…

      AMD Ryzen is quite power efficient. Whilst it is not as good as the M1 it's is within 10% and significantly better than Intel 12th gen. The 75wh battery will also help this laptop with daily use.

      • bisaya on 10/11/2022 - 09:58

        so the screen on this would be better for use outside? hmmm that's promising

      I was considering MacBook but after 4 years of using windows laptop to finish uni work, switching to MacBook is a steep learning curve.

  • arvil on 10/11/2022 - 17:55

    Anyone has experience with the merchant ? Reviews on trustpilot are not very enticing

    • yummycoot on 10/11/2022 - 18:00

      I just bought from them in-store, very quick and helpful. I have bought from their online store too, ssd deals from ozbargain.

        Awesome thanks mate

  • Sean8802 on 10/11/2022 - 19:30

    If anyone purchases this laptop, trying using a 100W or more USB C dock with it and see if the unit still turns on. I bought the Asus Zenbook UX435EG-KK232R in Dec 2021. I used first a USB C 100W charger, unit stopped power on. Then I used a HP G5 dock 120W after the motherboard was replaced which also killed the motherboard again. I got a refund as the laptop was useless as it cannot be used with a charger more then 65W without killing the motherboard.

    • yummycoot on 10/11/2022 - 19:38

      what's wrong with the charger that comes with the laptop?

      and UX435EG-KK232R is a vivobook, not zenbook.
