I normally get really excited about 2-in-1 devices given that I do digital art. This Asus X13 is seriously impressive given the powerful AMD CPU and dedicated graphics. I'm curious to know more about the pen/stylus input capabilities given that they were not mentioned in the review.

That proprietary, bundled eGPU is a huge concern though. I like it, but support for eGPUs is normally wildly frustrating and limited in time span. I had enough issues using a Surface Book and its various dGPU faults.

Can anyone comment on the noise levels of this laptop under load compared to the 3080-equipped Zephyrus G15?
