The AMD Ryzen Ai 9 HX 370 and Ryzen Ai 9 365 are meant to be some of the best laptop CPUs for battery life, real world performance and gaming. In this in-depth review we take two ASUS Zenbook S 16 laptops, one with each processor and put them up against the best thin and light laptops with the Apple M3, Intel Ultra 7 155H and Ryzen 7 8840HS.

    Large tech companies try and not shove the letters "AI" literally everywhere challenge impossible.
  • @andrewnitin
    Can't wait for handhelds with a variation of this chip... 🤗
  • @hassb6348
    Am I the only one that finds battery drain during sleep important for these thin and lights? Rarely do I find it covered in reviews
  • @Bacender
    It has a HDMI sticker on it lol
  • @gucky4717
    Do the letters "A" and "I" come with a price increase?
  • I'd buy anything with AMD instead of Intel/Apple/Nvidia in it, and these look amazing, but the price tags...
  • @gontary101
    I think there's more to the graphics performance (or the lack of it) than the lack of power. The biggest issue is actually the memory bandwidth. All modern laptops are bandwidth constrained leaving a lot of perf on the table
  • @ssupriyanto
    at least Asus should put some quick buttons on the right side of that keyboard (like home, end, insert, pgup/pgdn, delete)
  • @ryankwan1934
    The elephant in the room is that M4 is on the way.
  • @amithasan6931
    Despite having ‘AI’ in name, i really like how amd is trying to be more efficient with their chips!
  • @Yusuf_K7
    I’ve always thought stickers on laptops make them look worse.
  • @arondyte318
    What about battery life on standby? How much battery does it drain while the lid is closed overnight?
  • @physxme
    Wait they named the mobile CPU WITH big iGPU "HX" this generation? Why?
  • The Asus g14 with these new chips are gonna be insane, my g14 2023 is already amazing, crazy performance, amazing battery life(well tuned with g-helper) amazing screen, AMD is on fire
  • @FoxxFire
    Can I say this, and this is absolutely genuine, THANK YOU Hardware Canucks for making this a nonsponsored (by the subject) video. Some other channels are making sponsored content of the new chips (and specifically in a new laptop), but this launch is too important for your initial videos to be sponsored. I honestly appreciate your work; it makes such a difference to the audience when the subject of such an important piece of tech is not sponsored
  • @jg_barfi
    What about live payback in video editing? That’s very important to be discovered too🧡
  • @sachafievet3131
    I wish you would have more content like this instead of the sponsored stuff you guys do.
