Hi sifus,

2. Usage   : Office work (Microsoft office, web browsing, occasional netflixing)
3. Requirements (display size, battery life, weight etc) :

Asus Facebook says they are going to launch Zenbook with Intel ultra AI CPU. Anyone knows when ? Maybe after CES 2024 during January?

Also their expert book b9 oled,  is it good ? Saw it in Facebook

Matte display?

Guys, i am planning to buy a laptop for my family member to replace their faulty laptop, just happen last night.

Main usage is for movie and watching youtube, with light office work. ZERO gaming.

Need some serious feedback here, hope you guys can help me.

Few requirements that must be met as below.
- price: 3.5k max
- ram: 16gb ram
- ssd: 512gb
- screen size: min 15.6, better if it is 16 or 17
- must have MO H&O Student 2021 free

Other requirements which still undecided
- processor: both amd and intel is ok. But minimum must be 5 series for both
- screen type: should i get an oled screen? Understand that 3.5k wont get a superb oled screen, but it should still be better than ips right?

Already narrow down to few option as below. Appreciate feedback if any of you have owned the models
- vivobook 16 (ryzen 7 7730u, 16in ips screen)
- vivobook 15 (intel i5-1235u, 15in oled)
- vivobook 15x (ryzen 7 5800h, 15in oled)
- ideapad flex 5 (ryzen 5 7530u, 16 in ips)
- any feedback on the above 4 processors?

Thanks for the feedback. Is there big difference in processor speed between 15x and 15? Its an i5-1235u vs ryzen 7 5800h. Based on google, both have almost the same capabilities?

For screen, is there big difference in blue light generation between ips and oled screen? Will oled screen able to reduce the blue light?

Thanks. I was aiming for either the 15x or the 15 too, as both are price similarly, but those 2 are more expensive that the 16, at least rm500 difference. This what makes me in dilemma now.

Basedo on what you said, seems like i can ditch the 15. It will be between 15x and 16, and need to consider the price difference of at least rm500 is worth it or not for a oled screen but smaller in size with older processor.

Finally, have just pull the trigger for vivobook 16. Was eager to get the 15x for its oled display, but after everything in including whatever vouchers available, the 16 is rm900 cheaper than the 15x.

I feel this rm900 is a big gap, so decided to go with the cheaper 16.

Hi All,

Opinion on getting the previous gen Asus Zenbook 14 Oled for RM3.5k?
