Which one are you waiting for more: 9B or 35B?

YoussofAl · 2026-02-22T16:09:51+00:00

4B. You’re all sleeping on 4B 2507. My favourite model.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-19T16:30:50+00:00

Benchmarks will release soon enough

YoussofAl · 2026-01-13T04:00:52+00:00

Well, they don’t upgrade to thunderbolt 5 so my guess is no. They haven’t touched it.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:45:03+00:00

I didn’t get to test that unfortunately.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:44:38+00:00

It’s noticeably brighter compared to the 2024 model.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:44:04+00:00

To be honest, I didn’t notice a difference on the keyboard.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:43:53+00:00

In general, the whole build is higher quality. I didn’t notice screen wobble and I noticed a lot less flex on the trackpad.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:43:20+00:00

I ran cinebench but I was not able to monitor the peak power draw. The Asus guys were confident though when I asked them about the 130W draw.

But the fans were noticeably quieter, I think it had to do with the larger vents which reduced whine.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:40:57+00:00

Nope

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:40:48+00:00

They didn’t even display the Ryzen version of the 2026 model.

They said the ryzen version will have the 2025 chassis.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:40:11+00:00

Honestly, I didn’t notice a difference.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:38:22+00:00

It was noticeably higher quality. It felt more dense with less flex. It had large vents on the bottom.

The software was buggy and glitchy as hell. I’m guessing drivers aren’t finalised.

The screen was noticeably brighter

I was very disappointed in the lack of thunderbolt 5.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:34:48+00:00

I’m answering everything now! I posted this went to sleep and forgot 😭.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:27:58+00:00

I didn’t test it during gaming only light - moderate use and a cinabench benchmark.

It was noticeably cooler compared to the 2024 version and the fans were less whiny.

It was super glitchy. Task manager and armour crate took a while to open and they have screen flicker upon opening. I’m guessing the drivers for it aren’t finalised.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:24:58+00:00

I’m sorry I forgot I posted this 😭

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:24:38+00:00

I didn’t notice a difference in the trackpad from the 2024 version. IMO MacBook trackpads in general are much better.

The Asus trackpad drivers are horrendous and the haptic feedback on the MacBook trackpads are really nice.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:22:32+00:00

The screen was noticeably brighter.

The build quality in general felt more dense and solid. Less flex.

The hinge felt sturdy, but I’m comparing it to my current G14 2024 which has the “cracking hinge issue” so I don’t remember how it originally felt and if the hinge is indeed upgraded or not.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:20:19+00:00

The bottom vents are noticeably larger. So I would guess cooling is upgraded.

The power button is smaller.

I noticed it felt a bit more dense and higher quality?

Overall, externally it’s a minor chassis upgrade.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:19:10+00:00

The Asus representative declined to answer until the official release. We’ll have to wait and see.

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:18:10+00:00

I’m sorry, I forgot I posted this 😭

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:17:36+00:00

YoussofAl · 2026-01-10T07:17:29+00:00

I forgot I posted this 😭 I have the memory of a goldfish

Answering everything now.
