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 powerful enough to handle most everyday computing tasks, the like of the Asus ZenBook...

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.

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

Excellent everyday laptop. Fast CPU, fast wifi (1% faster than MacBook Pro by Rogers speed test). Good size SSD, backlit keyboard, very light laptop and power adapter (which is exactly the size of old macbook 65W adaper but lighter) - very good for working on the road or taking on a trip.

Had this laptop for about a month now and I can only say great things about it. Its super light weight with a great screen and battery life. one thing that I don't like about it is how hot it runs when playing games but I guess that is because its so thin and light.

This laptop is splendid. Lightweight, fast, nice screen. I would've liked more ports but I just bought a USB C hub with 4 USB A 3.0 ports. It does has a little coil whine (I believe it's the SSD) but it happens only on full stress and it is not that often, I can hardly ever notice it if it's still...

This was the second one of these I bought from Costco for my son to use at college. When the first one arrived there was a minor problem - the fingerprint reader didn't work. Calls to the concierge service, with driver updates did not provide a reliable fix.

Despite some thermal issues on the underneath this laptop is a premium product in both materials and components very fast and and an excellent laptop for anyone looking for beautiful looking laptop with computational power enough to perform everyday task at absolute ease.

Great build quality. Runs beautifully. Slightly noisy fan but still incredible.

of ultrabooks in the PC market, with companies endlessly cranking out slim Windows 10 machines, making it difficult to keep track of the latest models and choose a laptop that's right for you.

Solid ultraportable design; sharp and accurate display; and an impressive keyboard

No Thunderbolt 3; Kaby Lake R rather than Coffee Lake CPUs; middling battery life
