MacBook Pro absolutely shreds SDX2EE

Wrong price in the comparison. The A16 can be purchased for $1700 at Best Buy. The M5 Pro is 9.7% faster at single core. That is not "absolutely shreds", particularly when you realize: This is the default M5 Pro for $2200. The Asus is $1700 in the U.S. from Best Buy. The A16 comes with 48GB of RAM T

Move Over, M5: Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme Chip Crushes Apple in Our Benchmark Testing

Yeah that video did show how much software optimizations are everything, even if a chip is faster in raw compute, it'll lose in a lot of real-world scenarios. But at the same time, you can get the A16 for $1699 on Best Buy's website, so it's a pretty insane deal for $500 cheaper than the M5 Pro ($22

I need an AMD GPU

ASUS TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition. Comes with a rzyen CPU and either a 7600s or 7700s. This is pretty much the last "modern" AMD laptop with AMD graphics. I have this model running bazzite and it works great. But it's almost impossible to find. I bought mine late October on eBay and the prices h

From MacBook Pro to Windows? Try Snapdragon X2 Elite.

X2 seems competitive at their price points. Asus A16 with X2EE should be competitive with M4 Pro but you get OLED and 48GB RAM for $1700. That’s honestly pretty good. The closest MBP would be 16inch M5 Pro with 48GB RAM. That costs $3100, nearly twice as much. The Mac is faster and likely has better

I need help buying a laptop

For the basic specifications almost any modern laptop will suffice, as long as it is x86-based - they provide some older processors as minimums but they do say "or higher" so getting a newer laptop will work too. Here's an example of one which meets the basic specifications and should hold up relati

Gaming on the Zenbook A16, crosspost from r/windowscentral

I was super stoked to get it at the release price. I cannot believe they are that much cheaper from Best buy and come with touch screen. Based on what I read the difference in the 94 model show the Best buy and the 96 chipset sold for Asus is completely negligible due to thermal capping in the thin

From MacBook Pro to Windows? Try Snapdragon X2 Elite.

I have had the new A16 for 2 days. It is half the price of a MacBook Pro. It is a really good laptop and the oomph in the x2e is impressive for gaming despite not being a gaming laptop. It competes in price and it has a much nicer screen. For the neo, you can get a premium x1 series laptop for the s
