Im looking for windows laptop with budget of $1600 and atleast 2 year warranty. No games but will do some video editing. Long battery life is a must and must be light. Is the Asus Zenbook A14 good? Will it be cheaper in Malysia? Thank you.

recommend to check compatibility

some software not yet fully optimised for snapdragon on windows os

e.g. google search using these search terms - snapdragon windows [name of video editing software you use]

example, link to adobe's page, showing known limitations and compatibility for Premiere Pro

As mentioned earlier, check to see if your video editing app can actually with with Snapdragon

Thank you. Seems like snapdragon has a lot of compatibility issues on windows. I will postpone my purchase.

It depends on what you are looking to achieve and what are your usual set of apps that you need to use.
The compatibility situation is a lot better when these platforms first hit the market many years back.
Our whole explainer video on Snapdragon X Elite and what it entails and what to expect was edited on a Snapdtagon laptop (as shown in the video too):-


We've reviewed several of these Snapdragon laptops here:-

We'll eventually review the A14 as well, but probably slightly later.

Thank you. Seems like snapdragon has a lot of compatibility issues on windows. I will postpone my purchase.

*********************************

I trying to find if my NAS app "WD My clould mirror" is compatible with this Asus Zenbook A14 (snapdragon laptop)? Google search did not help me. If you have any idea / inputs please let me know. Thank you.

The seller says "@the original system of this laptop is Windows 11 Home (Chinese). By default, we will install Windows 11 Pro and set it in English for you before shipping. If you need to keep the original system, you can also make a note in the order." - what does this exactly mean?

I plan to buy Asus laptop china version (see link below) but request to install English windows. I have the following query:

https://sg.shp.ee/5jLMx7q

1. Will EVERYTHING be in English or will there be bits and pieces of Chinese here and there ?
2. When I reset the laptop, will it go back to Chinese version windows?

3. Is there anyway to prevent 1 and 2 above from happening?
