  • i thought macbook is good , but now i think zenbook is better...i want it !!

  • Apple is Cnet main sponsor..lol,,biased as always 

  • You can't do a performance test with diferent SO.

    I see the performance trought CPU, MEM and HD, and i think that asus wins. (Try to see the asus performance with linux or bsd then talk)

    NOTE: In your figth would have a price comparation (asus wins again)

  • i kind of want to know more in depth how you tested it and the straight up price and specs next to each other.

    

  • Windows sucks

  • @diegoball Thats why all businesses and innovations use it, right?

  • The windows OS is soo much better than stupid Mac OS. Go windows!!!

  • @1BYEBYE1 actually you can get the i7 in the Mac for an additional 100 bucks from apple

  • How much Apple pays you to make its product win every single time suing bullshit&fabricated numbers?!?!!??!?!

  • what bull, the zenbook has an i7 where as the air doesn't, which do you thing is faster now? also the battery life is way better on the zenbook, i've tested it myself. what a bunch of bs.

  • @1BYEBYE1 NO! they both have i5

  • @thedrewstock12 in this video yes, they both have i5, but you can get the zenbook with an i7 where as the air doesn't have an option for the i7.

  • @thedrewstock12 No, the Zen has Intel® Core™ i7 2677M Processor

  • Comment removed

  • next time you make a vid, install the same windows on the mac.. and then you can compare benchmarks..

  • @mlcorreia mac will still be faster

  • Asus is better!!!!!!

  • Macbook air wins!!! Asus loses LOL :P

  • @Atrainsd they have no idea what they're talking about, and nor do you.

  • i have both and i find the asus zen book faster in everyday tasks not my air

    the zen book has a 15 or 16 sec boot the same as the air but if u want looks go for zenbook which i find better but for battery ithe mac wins by about 1.5 hrs

  • @Aymdicate

    ''Boot time is the same as the air'' Wow... that's plenty of evidence!

  • how come none of these reviews talk about the bang and olufsen audio!?!?!??! and yeah opening the zenbook is a bit more fiddly then the air...

  • Awesome fight!

  • mac sucks

  • @bengaan87 you suck FUCK HEAD

  • @MichaelDion8 Samsung Series 9 without a doubt.

  • @ImpactByEclipse NO JUST NO

  • PLS HELP !!

    What to choose...???

    ● Asus Zenbook UX31

    ● Samsung Series 9

    ● Apple MacBook Air

  • @MichaelDion8 MBA

  • @MichaelDion8

    Don't even consider the Samsung, the rest is up to you. I am going to buy the zenbook ux31 because i think it's better suited for what i want.

  • @MichaelDion8 Asus zenbook for better price and better warranty

  • @MichaelDion8 I'm getting the UX31 for sure. Best looking notebook ever.

  • @MichaelDion8 MAC BOOK AIR

  • Comment removed

  • Who cares which is faster, if you're buying this type of computer, your probably just going to be surfing the web and typing documents. Processing power really doesn't matter for these things. Just get the one with the OS you prefer.

  • Zenbook has an i7.. not just an i5... The UX31E-DH72 is better than the mba AND its $200 cheaper...

  • really cnet? pretty much everyone would agree zenbook is heck alot sexier than boring air..

  • @chltmdwp u want the computer to work and be good at it not look sexy!!

  • @headchopper100 Zenbook does work.. Perfectly fine.. Any of the issues it had has been fixed with updates.. So you're getting a perfectly good, cheaper, and BETTER specifications (i7) with a much sexier look.

  • Wow. If the one you like looses, you guys say that CNET is stupid! Wow. Just wow. Of the one that you liked won then you would have said that it was a great video and that CNET was great! Come on! The MacBook Air won fairly.

  • I saw one of these zenbooks yesterday, that is one sexy machine, the weight makes it seem study

  • Get the facts right zenbook is lighter....

  • compare

    asus with linux vs air

  • @omaramo190683 yet, who can use linux?

  • @54321thedeathbed hardware is very similar, but macosx is better than windows, to compare both asus and mac, not only compare hardware, compare SO.

  • @omaramo190683 i know that apple is years ahead!! i got you now.

  • @54321thedeathbed It isn't.. LOL.. Just look at their phones and tablets.. SO dated.. Apple can't keep up with Google, Samsung, and Nvidia.

  • @sirus804 if so, then why is apple selling more iphones that android devices currently? apple is now 49 percent share. android is at 41

  • @54321thedeathbed It is not about which is selling more.. That just indicates how many brainwashed Applefans there are. I'm talking about which has more advanced technology. Android does.. easily. Its tablets already have quad-core processors.. and its phone soon will too.. Apple is a year and a half away from a quad-core device.

  • @sirus804 ok android fanboy. your gonna cry in a couple of years, i promise

  • @54321thedeathbed Lol... You go to "That" argument.. Shows how desperate you are.. Point is, Apple's technology is dated and other companies are WAY ahead of it... Apple is falling behind by A LOT.. It needs to step up its game.. and without Steve Jobs.. No Luck.. Be thankful you are alive to witness the decline and eventual fall of Apple.

  • @sirus804 k. im sorry but have you read the news? give me some examples instead of just saying that their technology is dated, which it not ;)

  • @54321thedeathbed Apparently you're living in a bubble. Gotta love how brainwashed Applefags are these days.

  • @sirus804 LOL your still not answering my question, maybe if i can write is in all caps, you can read it :)) WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF APPLE'S OUTDATED TECHNOLOGY? (even though it doesnt)

  • @54321thedeathbed THE FACT THAT APPLE HAS NO QUAD CORE TECHNOLOGY IN ANY OF ITS MOBILE DEVICES AND ITS A YEAR+ AWAY FROM HAVING SO.. MEANWHILE ANDROID ALREADY HAS IT..... Stupid Applefags...

  • @sirus804 Not to mention that Apple doesn't include Blu-Ray in any of it's computers, or USB 3.0, and they're trying to make this 'Thunderbolt' thing stick, instead of going to HDMI.

    Oh, and they still include Firewire.

  • @sirus804 yeah but apple is still faster!

  • @54321thedeathbed Also.... 3.5in screen.. LOL... What a retarded phone...

  • @sirus804 so, people still think that phones with a smaller screen size are still great? why joke a phone on its screen size? its what the phone does that really matters

  • @sirus804 dude none one else can do 10 gb/s transfers and even if apple uses dated hardware they are still faster and windows pc's get slower macs don't and you have to turn of windows you never have to turn off mac

  • @unifylical Lol.. Actually, they aren't faster. Also, PCs AND Macs both get slower over time. (depending on how you use them) I've owned a mac.. I know how slow they can get. 

  • @unifylical where did u get all these info? lol. Hardware worn out over time, electricity run through and all sort of thing, how ignorant u can be? O,o

  • Where's Linus Sebastian when you need him.

  • Don't use apple software like iTunes to compare.. iTunes is really slow on Windows. And btw the Zenbook is lighter.

  • This has got to be one of the most shallow reviews I've ever seen..

  • srsly nothing beats the macbook air in terms of design!!!!!

  • appel is the best inc. ever!

  • BIASED IDIOT! THE ZENBOOK SHOULD WIN IN THE PERFORMANCE SECTION!

  • @Folipolk10 it clearly was faster...

  • @Folipolk10 I agree.. The tested are biased.. You look at other websites that did tests and the Zenbook destroys the Macbook Air.. Biased people are biased.

  • get the facts right before you make a video

  • Omg... Performance part is alot about the OS, not just the PC..

  • @TheLolzKing yeh but since this is what u get with the unit it's self it's more realistic to use it for the test.

  • @noobownzify Actually, it's an unfair test. If I were to do this review, I would boot both up with Ubuntu. That would be much more fair. So this is a stupid, stupid video. They clearly have no idea whatsoever how to make a video like this.

  • @TheLolzKing most people who would buy this computer wont be looking forward to changing the os, thus it is a fair test.

  • @TheLolzKing Mac OS is faster.

  • @1NWB I never said it wasn't.

  • @TheLolzKing jop ... esp. itunes encoding and photoshop ... how more biased could this be? Next time I wana see LAME or similar and Gimp.

  • @TheLolzKing yes it isn't but you can't W7 can't compare to OS X Lion

  • @TheR4C of course you can't windows 7 is decades behind

  • I am a user of the Macbook Air, and I really can't go back to windows. I hate the trackpad on windows laptops! It's so boring that it doesn't have any more multitouch gestures than laggy scrolling and REALLY laggy zooming. The Mac just flows, and it feels really natural to use it.

  • biased

  • Apple's USP is definitely the touchpad.

  • Hmm definitely biased.

  • This is the first time I felt like there was no apple bias in a prizefight involving an apple product.

  • @AdrianGordon1231 yea the biased was towards pcs, this was a horrible comparison.

  • MacBook air is 800 bucks refurbished!

  • I THINK ASUS IS BETTER DESIGN, AND LETS NOT FORGET IT COMES WITH 1 YEAR ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE COVERAGE PLUS 2 YEAR WARRANTY.

  • Keyboard on Asus is not usable, touchpad is a fail, but passable. Read Amazon reviews before buying.

  • @alexmd75 All those reviews are old. The issues have been fixed with updates. There isn't serious trackpad issues anymore.

  • The keyboard and the pad are not usable on the Zen. The keyboard is really, really bad, it is the worst that I have seen on any product in a long time. Unless you hit the key dead center it does not register.

  • I'm an Asus user and I can't fully trust the touchpad...

  • Are you stupid, you can't base value from a stupid cleaning cloth. You need to base it off things that actually matter. Go to amazon and get a cleaning cloth for a dollar.

  • @Rockdaweb are YOU stupid or just a troll? ^^

  • they are comparing the wrong 2 products IMO, they should be comparing the Zenbook 11" with an i7 to the macbook air 11" with the i5, both at 1200 dollars.. then lets see which out performs who...

  • what about the boot time?

  • Comment removed

  • @gabriel102000 why??

  • Intel wants to kill Apple

  • 2012 coming new iMac, iPhone 5, all new Macbook Pro, can't wait

  • and this is why I got a macbook pro :]

  • watch?v=OIGLYRMq_pc&feature=re­lated A BETTER REVIEW

  • Pause at 2:00. LOL

  • Windows 7 its just not optimized for gestures. Wait for windows8 ;).

  • contine... the i7 in the asus means that the performance tests mean jack shit. my zen book lasts 9 hours easy with medium use. value how does the asus get a 4 when it comes with all the adapters you need and a cleaning cloth and pouch and only gets a 4?whole thing was BIAS?!!!!

  • updated driver fixes the trackpad issue. general typing. umm push the keys slightly harder? asus has an i7 model that is still cheaper

  • prizefight DROID RAZR vs iPhone 4S

  • I bought a mac air and my cousin bought that Zeus thing and after a week he got rid of it and bought a mac book air

  • @Realcuteguyyayiyai

    SHUT THE FUCK UP, TROLL

  • @MrAppleman97 fuck up your shitty Apple crack, TROLL

  • Wait a minute I thought the Zen weighed less than applemacbook

  • The zenbook is lighter than the macbook air

  • don't listen to this guy, this is a much better comparison not a 5min one /watch?v=OIGLYRMq_pc

  • @D3Buddha as in, despite being the same price but it holds more features, has better specs? etc etc and again I wasnt talking about a particular model I was talking about the company in general, and a perfect example would be the Asus Eeepad Transformer, they come at about the same price as the iPad yet it has several additional ports that allow you to say.....HDMI or a MicroSD card.... really shut the fuck up Oh and nice try trying to tag me, what do you think this is? High School grow up.

  • there is no way that air is getting 6 hours with windows. c'mon compare them evenly

  • The MacBook air does come with an apple cleaning cloth. Comes with the apple stickers too

  • @D3Buddha Wow Dipshit, did you read the comment I said Asus delivers quality products at a far better price, I didnt say anything about being cheaper... I was talking in general maybe if you put your manners and your head were your ass is maybe you'd learn to keep your mouth shut.

  • APPLE wins as always 

  • The ASUS looks way better

  • I didn't see thsi coming.The apple won.

    what could expect from applenet...I mean cnet

  • Both **can** come with the 1.7Ghz i-5 but the Asus can be upgraded to the 1.8Ghz i-7 for 1200$ while MacBook Air cost 1700$ for the same upgrade. That plus 34.95 for HDMI and 30$ for Ethernet adapter, the UX31 is 565$ cheaper. Maybe next time do better research and less pretend boxing c/net. Your a joke.

  • wwwooooooooooooo!!!!!! apple

    

  • i haven't seen this yet but i'm gonna guess this guy is gonna back up apple!

  • @JRDShamrock

    Son, you are fucked up I the head if you think any of the shit Microsoft tries to sell is better than a Mac. Yeah I'm biased because I like quality and detail in the products I buy.

  • @MrAppleman97 the world disagrees, the fact that there are more windows based computers than macs is true speak to that, dont be an idiots I own a Macbook, but my main desktop runs on windows 7 and its a computer I made, dont be fooled I payed big money for it (probably around the same price as your Macbook or more) but I can definetly enjoy much more in it and can do far more, and when the day comes its obsolete I can pop the case and slap in the newer hardware....on a mac? I dont think so.

  • @MrAppleman97 If you'd like detail in products you would have bough a Windows capable computer or better yet had built your own, what more detail than to be able to upgrade and manage what you bought how you see fit, idiot instead of running hardware and software thats on a closed systems that prohibits you from getting what you actually payed for, and remember before you even think about what you say I own various Apple products, but anything with Windows or Android IMO its FAR BETTER.

  • @MrAppleman97 This is not a product that MS is selling this is from ASUS, the only thing there from MS is Windows, if they install Ubuntu then you comment is pointless! And when you see a Mac on a collage or a business they are most of the time running Windows in dual boot or VM and vast majority of the users have it too, why? Because Windows is a product made with productivity in mind first and APPLE first goal it the esthetic of the product!

  • The Asus is a copy company copy and fail on their side. Go Apple!

  • @SO9769 you have no idea what your talking about, Asus is pretty much a far better company, they deliver quality products at a far better price, instead of the over priced junk apple calls "innovative"

  • @JRDShamrock I'm sorry but even in the video they said the quality wasn't as good as the Apple. I'm sorry but I don't think you know what your talking about. Maybe your jealous you can't afford and have a good quality, innovate computer?

  • @SO9769 what the fuck is wrong with you are you a twelve year old? Im not jealous of shit, Innovative? how is that shit innovative? (thats right I can spell it and you cant spell for shit) its thin? BIG fucking deal its still missing an Optical drive call that shit innovative when they all come with a OD INSTALLED... and FYI maybe you should read around a little bit before you talk shit I Own a MBP, I do prefer to work on Windows howevers that why my desktop is a self made W7 PC.... idiot...

  • @JRDShamrock You just proved that you can't get a proper computer, and in fact I have done my research (unlike you) OWNED! OWNED! OWNED! OWNED! OWNED!

  • @SO9769 What? how so did I prove I cant get a proper computer? what researched?

    Owned? what the fuck? damn you are an idiots, The world would be a far better place if you stopped breathing air...

  • Azuz?

  • Apple always pays attention to detail in every aspect, that's why I like their product more. I don't buy it though because it's more expensive. I mean why pay 1500$ for a laptop when I can get one for 700$? I would like to though.

  • gooooooo apppppppppllllllllleeeeed

  • You can get windows on the Mack book air so apple wins

  • I honestly do not like these prizefight comaprisons. Though fun, hey generally do a rubbish job at actually comparing the two products.

    The quality product is more than just a sum of it's parts. Its how the design, function, and everything integrate and combine that defines it's value. Simply multiplying the parts of the numbers will not do it. And who's to say that performance and design are worth the same? Should they be compiled together at all?

  • before watching this i expected the fruit to win

  • THUNDERBOLT not mini displayport! That has everything on the asus in one port!

  • How can you compare 2 computers' boot speed but both of them have different OS's?

  • I got my fr33 macbook at getamacbookk.gu.ma

  • TheSlipKnot981

    Same thing I said to @reallycuteguyyayiyayi

  • @realcuteguyyayiyai

    Retarded asshole, your fucking cheap ass can't buy anything good (apple) so you settle for second grade shit (anything not apple) so go suck a dick, earn enough to buy a MacBook then realize that you were a retarded bitch all of these years.

  • @MrAppleman97 coming from an idiots who's user name clearly shows he's an Apple bitch....shut the fuck up you biased asshole...

  • @JRDShamrock oh man, he's beyond stupid, u know in Europe, Isheep are offically classified as retards right? because they have the same brain wave and reaction when they talk about Apple products as those religious fucks. Apple steals ideas and concepts mainly from SONY, and they make cheap products, they do not pay any attention to details comparing to SONY, but these iFucks don't care, they only enjoy getting fisted by Steve Jobs skinny arms and ipoop out rotten apples. eww and SAD haha

  • @MrAppleman97 you stupid shit head, you fucking poor fuck cant buy anything good and expensive (SONY) so you settle for copy cat shitty fart APPLE, u wanna suck my big cock? sorry u dirty shit don't have the privilege to, make enough money and buy a Z22 then realize what a mother fucking, sister humping, father sucking, Steve Jobs breeding human dump you are since the moment your 3 legged retard father bred your 5 eyed horse humping whore mother

  • nope, sorry brian, but the asus is lighter.

  • @techsubscriber By turn, does that mean you are a PC butt licker?

  • Wow, I'm so surprised an Apple product won. Could you guys suck their dicks any harder?

  • this weird hair fuck up should die already, he is poor and doesn't know shit! this piece of shit Asus is the "best looking windows laptop"? cuz it looks like an Apple or you never owned any high end SONY? and nothing on the planet come close to that shitty Apple design? go get yourself some money and buy a Vaio Z22, u loser!

    I brought my Z22 in an Apple store, it made the staff and customers there so jealous and u can see how they couldn't believe SONY is so much better than Apple

  • Vaio Z22 is thinner, lighter, much more powerful, better made and designed than any shitty Apple can ever hope to be, yet this shitty Macbook Air is cut above the rest?

    using Alum is a huge flaw and only ppl with dead brain like Steve Jobs would think of it, it's fucking cold in the morning, can't put on my laps, it's fucking hot after 10 mins of youtube videos, can't put on my laps, how the fuck can you call it a LAPtop? and that alone make any Macbook made of cheap Alum a big 0 in design

  • the performance leader of super slim laptops is Vaio Z22, shitty isheep Tong

  • @realcuteguyyayiyayi aluminum is more expensive than plastic, dumbfuck.

  • @TheSlipKnot981 Carbon Fiber is more expensive than Alum, you poor fuck!

  • @realcuteguyyayiyayi starting at $2k not in the same category

  • @shattaD of course not, nothing is in the same category, Z22 is that Godly, however, if Cnet wanted to categorized thses computers as "super slim" then suddently Z22 fits perfectly, better yet, makes all the rest look like a joke. this is the brilliance of SONY and the engineers. SONY has been making the thinnest, lightest, ultra luxury and expensive portable electronics for ages, nothing Apple or those shitty Korean companies could ever compete with.

  • @shattaD  price and specs wise, Z22 is untouchable, but it's much lighter and thinner than all of these so called ultrabooks, then again, it's soooooo much more powerful than those, isn't that amazing how SONY made it! like.no.other, analyzing every details, you'll realize how crappy Apple prodcuts are, and what kinda attention to detail and innovations comparing SONY puts into all of its top of line (REAL) SONY prodcuts

  • @realcuteguyyayiyayi alright dumbass. thats why you wear shorts.

    

  • @wattadouche nobody uderstands what you said, moron

  • @realcuteguyyayiyayi then your about an idiot

  • @wattadouche nobody understand what you are talking aout phyco

  • @realcuteguyyayiyayi then your about an idiot

    dont have a heart attack guy it will be alright.

  • @wattadouche nobody understand shit you said, go have a brain tumor now, steve jobs will be proud of you, shity head

  • @realcuteguyyayiyayi BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE.
