The question of whether the AMD Ryzen 8000 series can beat Intel Core Ultra in laptops depends on a lot of things like battery life, overall performance and gaming. The problem is finding laptops with the same design for a true comparison has been almost impossible but we've finally been able to find laptops with the exact same specs from both AMD and Intel....but then things didn't turn out as planned.

    Add international measurements (kg alongside the pounds) for future videos, please

    Hey guys. Small correction. At 5:00 the arrow is mistakenly pointing towards the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port and NOT the USB 4 port. The USB 4 port is on the RIGHT in that image.
  • @auritro3903
    Intel: renames 13000 series as '14th gen' AMD: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!
  • @vncube1
    Thank you for highlighting the platform bias problem in seemingly identical laptops. We may be missing out on extra performance, stability and/or battery life because OEMs don't put enough love into one platform.
  • @Battler624
    Honestly the biggest issue is the lack of AMD laptops anywhere. I tried to buy the Zenbook in this video, its not available anywhere.
  • @mehdizoghi4498
    Finally some good charts and comparisons when conparing laptops. I like how you test the battery life. Keep up the good work and keep innovating
  • @DragonKingGaav
    Just wait until the Snapdragon X Elite laptops come out. It will make things even more of a mess!
  • @JustJoshTech
    What a great video guys. I hope everyone appreciate the time and effort that goes into one like this.
  • @user-dh3dv8bm3v
    I had obviously seen that Meteor lake had IMPROVED battery life over older Intel CPU'S, but not better than Ryzen?! WILD. 😅👌
  • Excellent deep dive into the importance of hardware and platform context around laptop reviews. Subscribed!
  • @donwooss
    I didn't skip the ad lol, gj that was well made :)
  • @gl897
    Great video, great listen. Thank you Ser
  • @Belaziraf
    How many years has it been since the last time I saw a real serious comparison between CPUs of the same tier and generation ? It's more informative and much more objective than the hundred of videos comparing Ryzen 7 and i9.
  • Hey there is a mistake in 1:34, the logos are not matching the names correctly, the 7i has the AMD logo when it should be the intel one.
  • @MegaCommissar
    You have my sympathy in testing laptops. No wonder one brand have better battery life if it also throttles.
  • @20NBA01
    OK cool, but I miss a very important information. Was all this testing done, when the devices were plugged in or not? (Of course excluding the battery benchmark)
  • @tomis181
    Good review. Glad to see good competition from intel on the battery life front finally
