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
The ZenBook 3 does a decent job of mimicking the MacBook's design while also cramming in faster hardware. But the combination of a hard-to-use keyboard and trackpad, along with build quality concerns, make it difficult to recommend. Hardware At...

I think you can tell that I like the Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA quite a lot. If you've lusted over the 12" MacBook but are a Windows person, or if you've looked at the LG Gram laptops and found their lack of rigidity disconcerting, this could be the ultraport...
The new ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390UA has a powerful dual core Generation i5 processor running at 2.5 GHz. The laptop also has a generous 8GB of RAM. This will allow the device to handle most of the work load rather quickly. To allow the device to cool down prop
The ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390UA may be a very powerful device but it isn't at the top of the processing power food chain. The Generation i5 processor used only has two cores and could bottle neck when very high computational loads are applied to it. The onboar
All in all, the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390UA appears to be a very capable device. While it does lack in some places, this could be a great option for those who seek a mobile computing solution. Fast enough to handle a majority of applications and slim and light...
There is no question that if you are looking for something extremely portable that the Asus Zenbook 3 UX390UA-RH71-CB has you covered as plenty of hard work went into designing a laptop that is road ready, With a total weight of just 2.1 Kg and a thicknes
While the Asus Zenbook 3 UX390UA-RH71-CB does have plenty of great features such as the Intel Core i7 it really feels like you are paying a premium for the smaller design as this model will not be easy on your wallet, For consumers who can live with a sli
The Asus Zenbook 3 UX390UA-RH71-CB is a very interesting addition to the laptop lineup this winter and will be a very attractive option for those who have a large budget to spend on their next tech device. Related...
The ASUS ZenBook 3 is a new breed notebook that blends optimal portability with pro-class processing power at a price that's more affordable than weaker competing notebooks. There are a lot of delightful design features as well as resonant touches plus im...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the incredibly small and light Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA that directly competes with the 12” MacBook, and indirectly competes with the Dell XPS 13 and Razer Blade Stealth. At 2.09 lbs. (910g) and 11.9mm (0.47”), it's actually slightly small...

I used it over a period of two weeks as a travel notebook. On that score, with the included dongle and on looks alone, it is a 10 out of 10. It was hard to give back and it quickly cured my apparent need for a touch screen. I love the fast charge when tra...

Super slim, super light, super stylish; good performance; respectable battery life; comes with hub to overcome limited USB connectivity
Way too much junk software loaded into system
The Asus ZenBook 3 is a first class, super light weight, super slim notebook computer was strong performance. Don't let my remarks on the keyboard put you off – I dwelt on it principally because I was bemused as to why Asus chose non-standard key widths –...
