An ultra-thin 13' laptop like the Zenbook using this CPU/APU will be interesting, I'll finally be able to carry something light that will handle my work and allow me to play some games (nothing too heavy). BTW, first Comment 🙂

It doesn't seem like your 1st comment, but your 5th. Not sure why it's relevant.

this is the killer mobile cpu of this generation but as an Asus ROG laptop owner... the Armoury Crate software is garbage and there's a ton of bloatware. also the fans are noisy and the armoury crate software doesn't reliably control the fans neccessitating going into bios. and the fans are noisy as hell - way more than MSI so when they are talking OC'ing the laptop i can already hear the fans from here:p

Well... my last tower desktop PC was an Athlon XP 2700+, it used quite a bit less power than this laptop, and it could sometimes get quite loud. So I can imagine a PC consuming much more power while in laptop-form will certainly be loud as hell.
