  • Pricey
  • Touch pad feels overly slick
  • Just one built-in port (a USB Type-C)
  • Flaws? Geez
  • Where to begin? I hate the touchpad
  • Which tracks decently but which has mushy
  • Floppy buttons in the bottom corners. If you're not a taptoclick type
  • This alone is so frustrating it makes the machine a nogo. Even worse though is the keyboard
  • The 12.5-inch display is locked at 1
  • 920x1
  • 080 resolution
  • And it isn't a touchscreen. Lots of extra bloatware. Battery life isn't as good as the MacBook. Other similarly configured systems cost less
  • Only one USBC port is bad. Average battery life and keyboard.
  • Keyboard and trackpad are difficult to use
  • Fingerprint sensor placement makes no sense
  • Build quality is suspect
  • Not many ports
  • Unusable webcam
  • Shallow key travel
  • Limited feedback
  • Weak ClickPad feedback
  • Speakers without bass

  • We've been waiting for quad-core U series for some time, and we have to thank ASUS for sending us the ZenBook 3 so we could check out the latest and greatest CPU from Intel. While the 8th generation Core branding is a bit of a mess, and the delay in 10 nm...

  • The Zenbook 3 UX390UA is a stylish-looking (if you care for the blue/gold color scheme) and in use was quite responsive thanks to fast solid state storage and that Core i7 CPU, but it was not perfect. I must mention the fan noise again, as any time the CP...

  • Let's just say this upfront – the ASUS ZenBook 3 is the Windows-based answer to Apple's MacBook. It ticks most of the boxes, be it a premium and thin design language, or a gorgeous display… not to mention the powerful internals. However, that also puts...

  • very light and thin, compact dimensions, one-day runtime, sturdy but not completely torsion-resistant, performance without throttling, firm key stroke, ClickPad enables fast workflow, clear microphone recordings, reliable login via fingerprint, balanced
  • not many ports, unusable webcam, shallow key travel, limited feedback, weak ClickPad feedback, speakers without bass
  • The ZenBook 3 UX390UA-GS041T can easily secure a spot among the top subnotebooks – but at the lower end of the ranking. Apple's MacBook 12 (Early 2016), Dell's XPS 13 9360 QHD+ i7, and HP's EliteBook Folio G1 V1C37EA manage better overall ratings, but the...

  • For the ASUS Zenbook 3 is an important step. Of course, the Taiwanese manufacturer offers a more compact and Windows, as well as more efficient laptops, but Asus ZenBook 3 has its own unique advantages. It does not avoid comparisons with Apple, but still...
