I was torn between this or a new XPS. I was leaning towards the XPS 13 because I was familiar with them and didn't have issues before, but the value of the Zenbook was too much to pass. I got this on sale for 1199 pre-tax, while a similar XPS 13 would have been closer to 1500.
The 8565u was the main feature that sold me, boosting to 4.6, making short work of any applications; The screen continuing all the way to the hinge gives it a sleek look making it appear as if there is no bezel on the bottom of the screen.
No major issues so far only one minor issue that the bugs me, the chassis; I am coming from an XPS 13 and the chassis on it was solid; The aluminum clam-shell design of the XPS is far superior to the plastic chassis of the Zenbook.
