After the release of Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon X-series earlier this year, it became clear that Intel (and AMD) couldn&#8217;t match the performance that the Arm architecture could deliver. Add to that the other troubles Intel is facing, and the company is in a pretty tenuous position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest threat to Intel right now is Qualcomm with its Snapdragon X-series chipsets. Laptops powered by Snapdragon are proving that it&#8217;s possible to achieve great performance while still having excellent&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/search?search=Asus+Zenbook+S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Asus Zenbook S 14&nbsp;battery<\/a><\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;life when powered. When I reviewed the Asus Vivobook S 15, I saw in Geekbench 6 that the results were nearly identical in both Best Performance and Balanced power modes, whether plugged in or using the&nbsp;<strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/laptop-battery\/Asus\/C31N2105\/1744416\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Asus Vivobook S 15 battery<\/a><\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond that, Asus has built a great laptop, the Zenbook S 14. It&#8217;s an ultra-thin, ultra-slim, premium-feeling laptop that&#8217;s impeccable in every way. It&#8217;s the start of a new generation of Intel laptops, and it&#8217;s a great one. The Asus Zenbook S 14 utilizes what Asus calls &#8220;Ceraluminum&#8221; for the lid. Asus uses a special treatment to turn the aluminum into a &#8220;high-tech ceramic&#8221; that makes the material much more scratch-resistant while keeping aluminum relatively lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asus really blew me away with its Zenbook 14 OLED keyboard, which I reviewed back in January, so I knew what to expect this time around. The Zenbook S 14 comes with a really good keyboard that&#8217;s very comfortable to type on without any weird awkward moments. If you swipe up or down on the right side, you can change the display brightness, while using the left side you can change the volume. You can also browse videos by swiping along the top, and launch the Asus ScreenXpert app by swiping inwards from the top right. This laptop also offers great audio through its quad-speaker setup. Like the Zenbook 14 OLED I reviewed earlier, the Zenbook S 14 delivers surprisingly powerful audio for its thin chassis, with no noticeable distortion at high volumes. Above the display is a 1080p webcam, complete with an infrared camera for Windows Hello and even support for presence detection. The webcam itself is decent quality,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/laptop-battery\/Asus\/C31N2105\/1744416\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">11.6V 6072mAh Replacement Laptop Battery for Asus C31N2105<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asus C31N2105 battery for Asus Vivobook M1403QA M3502QA X1403ZA M1503IA K3502ZA constructed with advanced circuit board technology.
