' new 14-inch Deluxe UX490UA is a solid ultrabook option, but it's only that. It's got great style with an ultra-thin design, low weight, and an excellent brushed aluminum body. The extra two USB-C ports alleviates one of the major headaches of its 12.5-inch cousin, the UX390.

Asus ZenBook 3 (UX390UA)
The design of the Asus ZenBook 3 (starts at $1,099; $1,599 as tested) is as close as you can get to that of the Apple MacBook without laser cutting an Apple logo into its slick aerospace-grade aluminum body.
Pros:
- One of the thinnest laptops on the market
- Excellent performance and battery life
- Strong speakers
- Fingerprint reader
- Windows 10 Pro
Cons:
- Single integrated USB-C port
- Internal fans run often
- Display is limited to full HD panel
- No Thunderbolt 3 support
- Slippery touchpad

Asus's super small notebook is faster than the MacBook, but still has flaws

If you're in the market for an ultraportable laptop you'll no doubt already have eyed up the 12in MacBook – but you may well have been unsure whether the low-power processor will meet your needs, or indeed unsure about switching to macOS. The ZenBook 3 makes a very interesting alternative.

Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA
The ZenBook 3 has redefined the Ultrabook, with the lightest and thinnest Intel Core i-powered laptop on the planet. However, as you might expect, the compromises that are made when you shrink a laptop down are notable, but certainly not deal-breakers.
Pros:
- Great design
- Incredibly lightweight
- Excellent performance
Cons:
- Volatile battery life
- Not enough ports
- Core i5 model is better value for most

Amazing power in such a tiny package.
I bought this netbook for my younger brother for Christmas (He's 36 years old). He's had it for a little over a month now so I think it's safe to put in my review on his behalf. He mentions almost daily how fast it is, how good the touchpad is, how nice it is that it literally fits in an envelope...

Asus ZenBook 3 review: A proper Apple MacBook substitute
Standing toe to toe with Apple's MacBook Air products, the Asus ZenBook lineup has often been accused of plagiarism, but they're not so much a direct copy. Instead, I prefer to think of them as taking inspiration from their svelte Apple-based alternatives, a tradition the Asus ZenBook 3 continues.
Pros:
- Superbly thin
- Lavish build quality
- Excellent Kaby Lake performance
Cons:
- Disappointing battery life
- Only one USB Type-C port
