This is an attractive laptop, although the shiny blue lid shows fingerprints. Excellent screen for pics and movies and fast processor for working, and lots of memory to handle many windows open at once.

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.

I picked up the Zenbook Pro a weekend before this came out. I returned that due to a loud coil whine and this new Zenbook just came in that morning. It pretty much had what I was looking for, new gen i7, smaller screen, lighter/thinner, 16gb ram. And to top it off, it was $900 cheaper than the Pro.

Very good for multi tasking - Battery life is as advertised - Quite light - Stays pretty cool even under some load

- Small coil whine; but not too noticeable - No thunderbolt port - Mediocre webcam - No numeric pad through fn key - No dedicated GPU

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.

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.

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

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.

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

For some years, PC manufacturers have been competing to make a Windows notebook that is better-looking and more useful than a MacBook Air. One of the clear contenders has been ASUS with its ZenBooks.

Attractive styling; Keen price for an ultraportable; Full complement of ports via bundled adapters; 14in screen in a 13in notebook; Crisp IPS display; Competitive battery life; Harman Kardon speakers a cut above the average for thin and light format

USB 3.1 Type-C only Gen 1 (5Gbits/sec); SATA 3 SSD; not NVMe; Trackpad prone to accidental cursor movement when touch typing; Chassis finish attracts fingerprints

Back in early 2015 Dell launched the XPS 13 version that stunned many, including myself ( I bought one and still use it today ), with its compact footprint and minuscule bezel around the screen.
