The clickpad is much smaller than the one on the XPS 15 (10.5 x 7.3 cm vs. 15.1 x 9 cm) despite the larger footprint of the Zenbook Pro 15.

Our unit was set to Performance mode via both Windows and the MyAsus software prior to running any tests below for the highest possible scores.

Overall performance is only about 5 to 15 percent slower than the newest Zen 3+ Ryzen 9 6900HX and so users won't be missing very much by opting for the older 5900HX.

The competing Core i7-12800H is about 25 percent slower in terms of raw multi-thread performance.

Running on Balanced mode instead of Performance mode impacts GPU performance while CPU performance remains about the same.

A Fire Strike test on Balanced mode would return a 9 percent smaller Graphics score.

Fan noise is dependent on the three MyAsus power profile settings: Performance, Balanced, and Whisper.

Running Witcher 3 on Balanced and Performance mode would result in a steady fan noise of 34.7 dB(A) and 47.3 dB(A), respectively.

Users may want to consider gaming in Balanced mode for the much quieter fan noise despite the slight performance deficit mentioned above.

Hot spots when idling on desktop can be as warm as 35 C to 39 C on the top and bottom, respectively, compared to 33 C on the Dell XPS 15 9500.

When gaming or running higher loads, hot spots on the top and bottom can reach 35 C and 48 C, respectively, compared to 44 C and 49 C on the aforementioned Dell.

Running Witcher 3 would cause CPU and GPU temperatures to stabilize at 70 C and 65 C, respectively, compared to 71 C and 73 C on the Vivobook 15 K513EQ.

A Fire Strike test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 21320 and 9084 points, respectively, compared to 25284 and 13002 points when on mains.

Running Witcher 3 consumes about 20 percent more power than on the Zenbook UM535

However, our UM535Q is able to offer 70 percent and 60 percent faster multi-thread CPU performance and GPU performance, respectively, over the UM535

If these differentiating factors are important for your daily workloads, then the Zenbook Pro 15 would serve as a better alternative to the competing Dell machine without needing to sacrifice battery life or graphics performance along the way
