Intel brought the 11th generation of processors relatively quickly, which naturally means that most laptop manufacturers have updated their models. These include Asus, which in addition to the new Flip S also introduced a revamped ZenBook 13 and 14. We reviewed the last generation’s 14, now we will test the smaller 13-inch model. Expectations are high, as I considered the ZenBook 14 to be one of the best ultrabooks of the year.
Encryption, encoding
We do not see any surprises in encryption or decryption as in previous tests. The new 13 offers the same performance as the Flip S. This surpasses the last generation of laptops by 10–15%, but still lags 5% behind Ryzen in the Swift 3.
Working with videos is one of the longer tests and again shows similar results as with rendering. The ZenBook 13 lags slightly behind the XPS, but offers a better result than both the Flip S and the older ZenBook 14. However, the Swift 3 with Ryzen is a third faster, again demonstrating Ryzen’s multi-core performance.
