The 2022 has a bios update to USB4.


Edit: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1049059/ I get that it is in beta, but yes, it does in fact have a BIOS update to support USB4.
Differences:

- 4060 trades blows with the 6800s, in some games, esp at high frame rates, the 6800s is faster, in most games, the 4060 is faster by up to 15%, normally under 10%
- DLSS 3.0 is a big deal. Frame gen makes a big difference in high res single player games at very high settings.
- the 2023 is quieter and cooler by a small amount.
-165Hz display on this vs 120 on the 22.
- this one has 512GB storage, the 22 has 1Tb.
- the CPU is up to 20% faster than 22, I would bet you couldn't tell in normal use and few games will be CPU limited here.


Honestly, to most, I don't think this is worth it unless 4k gaming or RTX are critical to you

Edit: informs raw facts, someone who woke up on the wrong side of the bed is mad and downvotes it. lol
I'm in the same boat. The 2023 model here will have better performance, probably around 10-20% for both cpu and gpu, at the expense of more power and noise. I thought the 2023 is suppose to have a higher res webcam as well, but the description says only 720p.

I'm leaning towards the $700 2022 model for now, it doesn't seem like the upgrades are worth $300 more.

Edit: as others have pointed out. This does have a 1080p webcam, but website description is wrong.

I grabbed this and have been waiting for Best Buy to bring it back on sale, but I have a 2nd order that went through for the Asus at $700. (first one was cancelled and I'm afraid they will cancel the 2nd)
How would you all compare these two?

Are you referring to the 6800s with the Animatrix panel? Users said the 6800s is similar to the 3080 mobile, so it's faster (though older). If you care about fps, then the one to buy is clear.

I didn't get the animatrix panel. I'm referring to https://shop.asus.com/us/90nr09u1...tore=en_US which is also back in stock

Also, this one has USB4. According to the description, the older model does not.

Is it officially supported, or is it a hack. I thought I read somewhere about all the caveats about enabling it and that they wouldn't support it, or am I mistaken?

Why everyone keeps talking about the old one, it's already out of the stock, either have valid comparisons or just focus on this deal.

It has repeatedly come back in stock since. That is why. People bought it this morning.

It is in beta, the caveat is that they wouldn't provide support for issues with beta firmware. (like any company) They still plan to publish official and compete firmware for it. Virtually nobody has had any major issues with it.

Which model, old or new, runs cooler for casual web browsing and watching videos? Want something that won't burn the lap or sound like an airplane turbine.
