The laptop is solid and well constructive, it is possible to open the lid with one hand. The usage of the device is really good, I don't see any freeze on daily tasks. I use it to connect to my VM and surf on internet without issues (Social networks, videos, music). I think the ports on this device are good, 1 HDMI, 2 USB C, 1 USB A and a headphone jack. Battery life it is good, I don't use it on battery more than 4 hours without problem, most of the time is connected to a docking station. Display is OLED 60 hz refresh, it looks great, the form factor is 16:10 and I added a magnetic privacy screen than help to keep your work out of other eyes. Keyboard and mouse pad are really comfortable to use, the only bad thing is the full keyboard plate going down when you are typing, maybe something to improve on next model or revision of this laptop. Software made by Asus, the laptop came with the utility My Asus, this suite gives you some configurations to protect your device, like drives and firmware updates, some helpful settings to keep your battery on good shape, like only charging up to 80% and also the possibility to override this setting and charge to full load for a special occasion. Also, it has the possibility to make some changes to protect the oled display and prevent to burn pixels, like refresh pixel, dark mode on the background windows and only keep brilliant the current window, auto hide the taskbar. 2 things than I'm missing from my Dell laptop is the possibility to auto turn on when you plug in to the docking station or the option to turn on when you open the lid. I already check My Asus app and BIOS settings without find it. I wish than ASUS or other vendor creates cover like the one for Apple laptops to prevent your device and keep your fingerprints out of the cover (Yes, the color is really nice but it is easy to catch fingerprints on it). I will check the IA settings on this new processor but as I read on reviews it is still behind from Apple Silicon chips but it is a really good start.

Ultra 7 processor and 16GB memory make multitasking a breeze, providing a smooth and efficient experience. Loving the 14” WUXGA OLED touch display... vibrant colours and crisp visuals. Long battery life, it lasts all day on a single charge for my use. Lightweight & Gray finish gives it a sophisticated look that stands out in any setting. Can open the lid with one hand due to stable hinges. Got it in a good deal, happy with the purchase. I would definitely recommend.

I was using a Dell XPS 9510 before this. It worked excellently however the battery life was pathetic, like 3-4 hours on a good day. However, I did not mind that as I had easy access to charging ports. While working on my XPS I spilled some coffee onto it. The laptop obviously stopped working and is stuck in a boot loop. I now have stopped drinking coffee. The money saved went towards this ASUS Zenbook. The Zenbook has an amazing display and an even better battery life. Easily lasts 2 days on light use or an entire work day with heavy use. Since this is 60HZ, its battery life is better than the versions of the same model with a higher refresh rate. The one thing I noticed is that the trackpad is a little smaller than the XPS by about 25%. I would have preferred it but this is fine, just takes about 2 weeks to get used to. I would also have preferred if there were type c ports on both sides as that would make charging possible from either direction. I love the fact that the laptop has a physical camera cover, and is extremely light. The laptop has most features that are standard now such as battery protection and noise reduction. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE LAPTOP HAS SOME SERIOUS COIL WHINE. If you don't know what that is, it is a high-pitched noise that occurs when current flows through electrical components. According to ASUS "It is neither a hardware defect nor affecting the device". It is only audible in quiet environments. There are a few downsides to the laptop, firstly it does not have a fingerprint sensor which is an issue in high brightness areas or when there is a light right behind you as the facial recognition does not work. Second, the RAM is not upgradable. Fortunately, the SSD is, though there is only one stot without a heat sink. I now only drink tea while using my laptop. I am told that tea may also damage my laptop if spilled but I don't believe the people telling me that. I will update this post and to let all of you know if it is true or not in case I were to spill tea on this laptop. I bought the laptop for $596 toward the end of July 2024. I don't know why it said fair condition, I got it in perfect condition as if it were brand new.

This laptop is an ideal business laptop for students as well as for professionals. Lightweight, sturdy and sleek, it has a premium feel. The touch screen display and audio systems are top notch. The camera does a decent job and can be upgraded to a better qualityat the given price point. Smooth multitasking and it's 1 TB hard disk is super fast to access. Asus lives upto the expectation overall ! Writing this review after 1 year of regular use - worth the investment

First of all, Im very happy with my purchase. Im coming from a m1 macbook and surface laptop and let me tell you, this laptop is not going to dissapoint you. Very good battery life, very good oled display, fast for my all the work(im an engineering student), good storage(you can change it too). Oh forgot to mention i love asus keyboards they are really good in my opinion. Best of all i was able to get it in a discount of 699. Just by it. Again i can recommend this to anyone without any hesitation.
