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

Strong Battery Life, Great Performance, Premium Materials, Good Looks, Windows Hello-Compatible Fingerprint Reader, Top-Notch Display
Lone USB Type-C Port, Minimal Key Travel, Somewhat Pricey
The Kaby Lake Core i7-based ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390UA-XH74-BL we tested performed very well throughout our standard suite of benchmarks. In the all-encompassing PCMark 8 tests, the ZenBook 3 actually put up the best scores we've seen from an Ultrabook to dat...
Abstract: This 12-inch MacBook clone is a premium Windows ultraportable, but a few design choices keep it from rising above all its competition—MacOS and Windows alike...

One of the thinnest laptops on the market, Excellent performance and battery life, Strong speakers, Fingerprint reader, Windows 10 Pro
Single integrated USB-C port, Internal fans run often, Display is limited to full HD panel, No Thunderbolt 3 support, Slippery touchpad
Although it's one of the thinnest and lightest laptops we've seen, the slick Asus ZenBook 3 still manages to deliver outstanding battery life and performance with its Intel "Kaby Lake" Core i7 processor...
Fast, smooth performance, Very compact and portable, Excellent battery life
Just one port for both data transfer and charging, Unpleasant keyboard
Asus touts the ZenBook 3 as a superior MacBook alternative, and I'd have to partially agree. In a lighter and almost equally compact package, you get a much faster processor—one that better matches up with the fast storage and RAM paired with it. The fan...
Incredibly slim and light, Class-leading battery life, Surprisingly effective speakers for a thin laptop, Attractive Gorilla Glass-covered screen
Pricey, Touch pad feels overly slick, Just one built-in port (a USB Type-C)
With its rigid 2-pound frame, impressive "Kaby Lake" speed, stunning audio, and surprising battery life, the ZenBook 3 is the new Windows 10 hyperportable to beat. Read More…...
Powerful Core i7 processor in a slim, portable package with an excellent touchpad. A helpful USB-C mini-dock is included
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
The Asus ZenBook 3 mimics many of the best features of Apple's 12-inch MacBook, but in a Windows version with a more powerful processor...
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. Hardware At...
Madly thin and light yet rigid. Fast! Great looking, lovely IPS display, good trackpad, closer to normal keyboard than 12" MacBook
Casualties of the size and weight: only 1 USB-C port and headphone jack. No touch screen option
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...
