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

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...
Gorgeous and sleek design, Stunning display, Powerful internals, Good sound output
Lacks connectivity ports, Battery life could have been better, Steeply priced, Photos by Raj Rout, Facebook Comments, ShareTweet
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...

The highend specs make up for the loss of touchability, and benchmarks in general showcase impressive but not earthshattering performance, at least on a poundforpound basis. It's particularly apt with graphics considering its size, turning in better perfo
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

Excellent thin and light metal build. Packs all the performance of a fullpower 'Kaby Lake' processor. More affordable than the MacBook for better hardware.
Only one USBC port is bad. Average battery life and keyboard.
Thin and light design comparable to the MacBook, As fast as other high-end ultraportables, Vibrant screen, Comes with a mini-dock for extra ports
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. ASUS ZenBook...
