Usually we'd gloss over processors like Intel's 200V-series for a gaming laptop, favouring instead a chunky desktop part stuffed into a chunkier chassis. Though that's changing pretty quickly. With handheld gaming PCs on the rise and thin-and-light gaming laptops offering impressive gaming performance, there's more of a case for picking up a device with a low-power processor. And seemingly few better for the task than Intel's latest.
Before me sits the Asus Zenbook S 14—created for the productivity improving, super synergising office elite. This Zenbook S 14 comes with the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V. That's an eight-core processor: half of which are Lion Cove P-cores, and the other half, Skymont E-cores. Alongside the CPU component sits a new and improved iGPU, the Arc 140V.
