    Ultra light 16 inch with a major design flaw

    The laptop looks amazing, very thin and light. However, i ran into a major issue. When I rest both hands on it in the typing position and used the touchpad with my thumbs, the touchpad cannot be clicked because my hand weight caused the chassis to deform, which resulted in the touchpad being clicked. All gestures were messed up and the trackpad became unusable at all. A haptic touchpad will get rid of this issue but unfortunately Asus decided not to put it on this model. Otherwise, I really like the design, the color, the screen and thr performance. Unfortunately, i had to return it because of this major design flaw :(

    Outright one of the best laptops I've ever owned. Excellent design, excellent OLED display, light weight and premium quality. However firmware needs to be updated to support 2TB SSDs. Would randomly crash with a blue screen error code 0xc000021a on Samsung 990 pro 2TB when copying large files or downloading large files. Officially, it supports up to 2TB but in practice, 2TB SSD would crash. Until this is resolved through a BIOS update, 1TB that came with it is the limit. Best laptop outright.

    It's a great replacement for my former ASUS laptop even though it doesn't have a keypad. Still trying to determine how to reconfigure some things so I guess I need to get some Geek Squad assist!

    Overheating is a problem. Great specs in a very poor case. Touchscreen stopped working after 4 months, then the camera, and after all, the screen. I believe these problems are all due to the extreme overheating. I noticed a BURN MARK on the casing near the screen hinge. Yes, that is how bad the laptop is designed!!!! Now, a $1,400-Zenbook laptop has a dead screen and lies as a desktop pc connected to a monitor. Save your money and do not buy Asus S16
