The highend specs make up for the loss of touchability

Turning in better perfo
Powerful Core i7 processor in a slim
Portable package with an excellent touchpad. A helpful USB-C mini-dock is included

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.
Abstract: Standing toe-to-toe with Apple's MacBook Air products, the Asus ZenBook line-up has often been accused of plagiarism, but they're not so much a direct copy.Instead, I prefer to think of them as taking inspiration from their svelte Apple-based alternatives...

The Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA is an extremely light laptop and one that doesn't compromise performance or kill battery life as a result. It's also more affordable than some of the alternatives, particularly in its entry-level spec. However, we're not convinc...
If you're in the market for an ultraportable laptop you'll no doubt already have eyed up the 12in MacBook – but you may well have been unsure whether the low-power processor will meet your needs, or indeed unsure about switching to macOS.The ZenBook 3 mak...

Attractive, slim, light chassis, Excellent touchpad, High-contrast 1080p display, Strong CPU and SSD performance, Strong battery life (for its class)
Mediocre keyboard, Just one USB Type-C port, Expensive
Yes. The Zenbook 3 is expensive. You can buy a laptop that's as quick, for less. But that's not the point. Super-thin laptops like the HP Spectre, MacBook, and Zenbook 3 promise to offer everything a laptop normally does in a case nearly as thin as your s...

the fan is active all the time; the display is too dim for the premium niche and glossy, despite not being a touchscreen; limited IO, but an adapter is included; pricey
The Zenbook 3 UX390UA is rather unique among ultraportables, as a sleek and ultra-compact laptop with Core U hardware, fast storage, lots of RAM and plenty of other solid traits. As expected, all these don't come cheap and a few compromises were made in o...

Ultra, slim design, Intel Core i7 power with a novel cooling solution, Competitively priced
Copycat styling
More than a MacBook knock off, the Asus ZenBook 3 brings a thinner and lighter design with more power and a novel cooling system, but lofty battery life projections leave us wary...

Abstract: We were big fans of Asus' answer to the MacBook Pro - the formidable ZenBook Pro UX501VW (you can catch-up with our full review here ).At Computex the firm took the covers off the latest version, the ZenBook 3 , that looks like a real rival the original...
Great screen, Really lightweight, Good-looking design
Poor trackpad, Just shy of all-day battery life, Expensive
This really looks like it is going to be a beauty of a machine. It will come in three colours, Rose Gold, Quartz Grey and the divine Royal Blue.Asus has really pulled out the stops when taking on its main rival. Thinner? Check. Lighter? Check. Faster? Che...
Great design, Incredibly lightweight, Excellent performance
Volatile battery life, Not enough ports, Core i5 model is better value for most
Asus ZenBook 3 – Performance The 2.7-3.1GHz Intel Core i7-7500U is an excellent processor that can handle video and photo editing with relative ease. It's only a dual-core chip and therefore takes longer than its quad-core brethren to perform intensive ta...
