While both the i5 and i7 are great for school work, the i7-7500u is only a duo core and performs very poorly compared to the new i5-8520u quad core in pretty much anything else.

Seriously no cons to say about the laptop. The fan noise everyone is talking about was a bit loud even at idle but a simple program has fixed that problem and there is no over heating with the fan not running.

Asus recently announced two new laptops - the VivoBook S15 starting from Rs 59,990 and the ZenBook UX430 starting from Rs 74,990. Asus had launched its high-end ZenBook 3 earlier this year, so the ZenBook UX430 series is targetted at more mainstream usage.

The Asus ZenBook series of laptops are some great mobile machines to carry for your productivity needs. In this post, we will take a look at the Asus ZenBook UX430UN which comes with some great hardware and is a good looking machine that will work without hanging or leaving you stuck in times of...

Asus seems to have paid attention to what the market really wants, and that is a simple, no-nonsense laptop that's easy to carry around. Even with the base model, you get a modern processor and comfortably large SSD, and we're happy to see that creature comforts such as the excellent screen and...

Looks great; thin and light, Comfortable trackpad and keyboard, Excellent screen, Good overall performance

I purchased this because I wanted to upgrade the Asus UX303UB I purchased a few years ago mainly to get the quad core i7 8550 processor. I've had Asus computers in the past and have never had a problem. This one does not disappoint. It's fast, with a boot time of 3.5 seconds.

The positives don't outweigh the longer list of negatives on the UX430. The few standout features are the crisp matte display and thin design, but nearly everything else is average at best or unremarkable.

crisp IPS matte display; good contrast levels, accessible internals; upgradeable M.2 SSD, Great core specifications for the price, attractive and slim design, respectable battery life, full-size SD card reader, decent speakers

display backlight could be brighter; poor outdoor visibility, Discrete MX150 tends to throttle below base clock rate, pulse-width modulation on nearly all brightness levels, Inserted SD card protrudes by over half its length, no touchscreen, glossy, or 4K UHD options, soft keyboard keys with shallow...

Asus continues to make smaller and more powerful ultrabooks, that compete with the likes of Apple and Dell on every other aspect, except pricing. As more people demand for more a more powerful computer that's…

Lightweight and very portable; Crisp, anti-glare display; Useful fingerprint sensor

Absurd fingerprint sensor placement; Lid picks up smudges and fingerprints

I would totally recommend it's just that I was unlucky to get a dead pixel.

It has awesome specs for the everyday person and even some light to medium gaming potential

The laptop shipped out of the box with a dead pixel; when I'm paying 1400 (aud) for a laptop and shipping with a dead pixel; that's pretty bad

"The PC industry is dying, smartphones will take over" – this usual statement has been around for a while. It's not wrong to say that smartphones and tablets are slowly evolving to dominate the laptop's territory of providing computing solutions on the move.
