Seems the first Asus laptops are now appearing based on the 4th gen ( Zen 2 ) AMD Ryzen Laptop CPUs. This laptop is really tasty at only 1.6kg with a full blown GPU/ high refresh rate screen and in a slim 14" form factor.

Anyone else looking forwards to seeing these in person?

I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do with the LED versions. Hopefully we can do some good images. They are nicely spec'd up as well.

 

[Legend]

When is the anticipated arrival date of these?

 

[Noto]

all about the LED...

scrolling gucci and LV patterns lol just lol'd in bed to myself.

When is the anticipated arrival date of these?

I would say earliest is probably May time you just don't know at the moment.

AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS APU overtakes both the Ryzen 7 4800H and Intel's Core i7-9700K CPU in latest Time Spy benchmark leak

Now that's interesting.

Seems the 4900 is now being listed, ashame its the QHD version rather than the 120hz 1080p version... https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...d-ryzen-r9-4900h-gaming-laptop-lt-2aa-as.html

I like the look of this however couple of slight issues for me:

16GB model looks to have 8GB slot and 8GB soldered, I'd want the version that's 16GB onboard with a spare DIMM slot but doesn't seem to be around.
It's missing IO such as ethernet and UHS-ii card slot - sorted with a dongle but defeats the object of being so small if you need to lug a dongle everywhere.

Overall though, handsome laptop, fantastic CPU (smashes ubiquitous 9750H) and decent size.

Can't wait for reviews!

I've got my eye on this one : https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...4800h-metal-grey-gaming-laptop-lt-2a2-as.html

My son wants a Gaming Laptop for Xmas so i'm getting up to speed with the current tech. Looks there are some interesting releases coming over the next few weeks.

The Ryzen R7-4800H is going to provide some awesome speed/value options.

I’m interested in this new 14”.
I’d be using it for music production so would need to see some latencymon results first but it looks promising. The 1440 screen is very appealing for me. I’ll be doing light gaming on it occasionally so it looks to be a great all round machine.
I’ve heard it will be available without the led lid too.

Are there any Asus reps here that we can ask questions?

Linus is very complementary:

[Fry750]

As hoped, it absolutely decimates anything Intel have for a far better cost, hooray!

Dave Lee mentioned the 120hz screen suffers a little from ghosting, not to worry - would get the 1440p version.

 

[Zico]

The 1440p screens are only 60Hz:

Any chance it can have a win 10 pro option?

I'm personally looking at this

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...-ryzen-r7-4800hs-gaming-laptop-lt-2a9-as.html

now I've seen the figures of what 4th gen mobile can do, i have to say I'm thoroughly impressed, could take all my games with me on the go

for those interested Intel's 10th gen first look has surfaced online, and it's not looking too good atm, watch until the 5.50 mark, the prices are insane, what are you thinking Intel, link below

Linus is very complementary:

The one Linus reviews is the 4900HS which is a 35W cpu and he mentions it having the 2060 MaxQ gpu. OcUK are only listing the 4900H which is the 45W cpu and the details only mention 2060 (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...d-ryzen-r9-4900h-gaming-laptop-lt-2ab-as.html ).

I presume that US market are going to get the more efficient cpu then?

 

[Fry750]

I'd guess an oversight on the OcUK product page...

 

[OldFatherTime]

Anyone know why the 4800HS version says 'Sorry this product is not available anymore'.... will we get our pre-orders? I ordered when it first appeared on the site.

[Mr_Clark1000]

I’m looking at these too, need something with some more legs compared to my Macbook 12 but still maintain portability, these really look like they could be the jack of all trades type thing.

be nice to know if there is likely to be variations coming in that the US seem to have, namely the 120hz 2060 version.

any idea on when any of these will be in?

 

[manic111]

I'm waiting on them too, before finally deciding what laptop to buy... Any update would be great!

@Mr_Clark1000 the Asus website, with prices in GBP, suggests that we'll get the 120hz and 60hz versions
