IT’S GOING TO BE A TOUGH COMPETITION.

Meanwhile, at the same time, HP upgraded its Pavilion gaming desktops and laptops with options for AMD processor, but with the launch of Intel Comet Lake processor, the bigger news has been about the machines that include this new hardware.

Dell’s XPS 13 and Inspiron is powered by Intel’s Comet Lake processor. MSI too included Comet Lake processor in 3 of its new laptops. These machines are the ones running up against Asus Zenbook model. Asus might give a tough competition with its amazingly thin screen bezels and slender design, but with the 6-core option from Intel’s Comet Lake processor, it is most likely that it would outperform Ryzen powering the Zenbooks.
