  • I don't usually make comments like this, but "Tug Gaming" is pretty funny. Good deal anyway.

  • Nothing on the specs about Fingerprint reader (so assume none?) or expandability of the SSD - is it a socketed M2, are there any other M2 slots?

    Anyone know?

    [EDIT] - okay the linked teardown states no FP reader and shows the SSD on what looks like a standard M2 socket.

  • After seeing quite a few complains about their other Zenbook S 16, don't know if it worth the risk …

      • Can't this be adjusted from the Windows Update settings? Pretty sure you can turn off auto update. If you have already done that and the computer still updates itself, that's a problem.

          He is definitely not the best tech advisor as per his name….

        That's more of a Windows issue rather than an Asus one…

          And partially user error; they obviously haven't configured the 'active hours' yet so Windows doesn't know when it can/can't update the device…

        Ahh yes, blame a software problem on the hardware. Genius!

        While we're at it, the radio in my car today played Taylor Swift. I'll never buy a Honda ever again.

  • Maybe it's not just the Lenovo S 16 ?

  • Specs look good except I'm not a fan of the marketing hype behind making everything AI in name

    Is this processor actually good? What normal name processor would it be comparable to?

    • +1

      It's one of the best mobile processors available, as is it's iGPU.

      • Well if it can run Ubuntu and a few virtual machines then that's all that matters to me. 10 Cores sounds good. I've got a Ryzen 5950x with 16 cores in my desktop PC but I'm looking for a laptop that's powerful but still lightweight. Gaming laptops are over kill

  • I am waiting for the Zenbook A14 to be released in Australia.
