I had a MacBook Pro for 7 years, i still have it as my backup. But i wanted to take a different route when purchasing my new laptop. I chose the Asus zenbook touch. I love the fact that it has a touch screen, the memory is great, storage is great, it’s fast. I had some issues with the sound not working, and I’m not a fan of the sound system on it, but after a few updates, the sound is functioning normally. Going from Mac functions to Windows is different to start, but it’s rather simple to get the hang of. Also, kudos to Best Buy for getting the laptop to me 3 days faster than what i paid for. And Kudos to Asia for the beautiful packaging on this product.

So far from all the Ultrabooks I have owned this is by far the best I have ever owned and it's not even the most expensive. I have owned a Lenovo Yoga 730, a MacBook air 2017, and a Microsoft Surface book 13". None of those compare in terms of raw power per pound that this laptop delivers. With it's quad-core i7, 16gb ram and 512gb this has benchmarked really high on several tests I have ran on it. At 2.2 pounds or 1kg this should be the prototypical Ultrabook that competing companies should mimic. The all aluminum unibody is beautiful and sleek. Additionally, it feels tough, like it can survive a few falls and dents. Only, downside is the material seems to be a fingerprint magnet, but it's nothing regular maintenance can't clean up. ASUS throws in a nice sleeve and usb-c to HDMI and usb-a adapter which is awesome considering apple charges you $69 for their equivalent adapter. I have done light gaming on this laptop with no issues. The 4k display definitely comes into play when watching Netflix movies or when playing slower paced games. I mainly use this laptop as my daily driver to work,school, and travelling as it barely feels like I'm carrying any extra weight. I have had zero issues with any of it's features. The laptops elevated keyboard design also provides me with an amazing typing experience and it definitely serves it's functional purposes of improving the cooling on the laptop. The keys feel very similar to the MacBook keys and I always loved those for typing long documents. All in all, if you're reading this and you're looking to buy an Ultrabook to complete your life than look no further than the Zenbook S from ASUS a true piece of technological art and wonder.

I started working from home all of a sudden due to the coronavirus and it really started to reveal the limits of my old Macbook. I found the Asus ZenBook to be a good balance between price and value. I like the 16GB memory which is good for multitasking. The 512GB SSD gives you plenty of space. It is very fast to start, wake up and things like that. It is one of the lightest laptops out there and I enjoy the ergonomic lift of the keyboard. The screen is beautiful - with my old Macbook you can see every pixel, but the Asus has an incredibly smooth picture. I don't really use laptops to watch movies but imagine it could be a great experience. Battery life is decent. If you're doing low-resource things like typing a document or browsing the internet it will last you over half a work day. But if you're constantly on Zoom or Teams meetings it will drain the battery in 3 hours. The touchpad is really good and supports many gestures. It is extremely helpful for switching apps in a snap. However if you're going to be on your laptop all day, do your wrists a favor and get a wireless mouse. In summary this is a really strong product compared to other laptops with similar specs. The Asus advantage to me is the slimness and light weight, as well as the ergonomic lift of the keyboard. The only things left to be desired are bells and whistles like face ID recognition (this laptop only does fingerprint), extra battery life, and a less smudgy housing.

If words could describe - just awesome! Pros: very clear picture, lightweight, super fast, comes with nice case (to minimize the finger prints , maybe?) and adapter for HDMI, USB 2.0, and mini USB Cons: finger-print magnet, battery (understandably due to 4K) does not last as long 1080 HD screens

Lives up to all the marketing information. Lightweight, powerful, decent battery life. Keyboard in very nice, but takes a little getting use to which is normal for me. Trackpad is very sensitive, but stutters at times. The 4k screen is perfect. BestBuy had a great sale when I bought mine, so, it was a great buy.
