Customer Ratings & Reviews

When you take this Asus ZenBook out of the package, it looks smooth and sleek. When you open the display and turn it on for the first time, the brilliant OLED display does not disappoint—it has a resolution that’s better than Full HD, which makes it attractive to the eyes from the beginning. It is bright and has excellent contrast. I later took it outdoors into direct sunlight, and it was bright enough to read the screen in the sun. Streaming media on the OLED display looks better than my QLED TV, though the screen is much smaller. The built-in speakers are very loud for a laptop and have impressive sound quality. One of the first things I noticed when I got Windows up and running (past the initial setup) was that the built-in webcam included a shutter switch that would block the camera when not in use. This is much more secure than a software-based on/off switch, as hackers could turn that on without your full awareness. I love this feature. Having AI features in the computer is nice for things you wouldn’t expect – for example, you might suspect you can run a local AI chat with tools like Ollama, but it’s also great for camera-based AI enhancements, which enhance video calls and meetings. These enhancements include framing (where the picture centers on you as you move, and it’s smooth), a blurred background effect (much better looking than the typical software effects of old), and eye tracking (where it seems like you’re looking at the person on the other end of the video call). The ZenBook includes a touchscreen and a backlit keyboard (great for typing in the evening). Performance at first seemed like a mix of fast and slow (fast at times, slow at others), but once I finished pushing through all the Windows Updates in the background, performance was reliably very fast. Wi-Fi performance impressed me. Focusing on ping time from my Ookla speed test run, I noticed that it had a ping of 3ms, which is the fastest I have seen on any Wi-Fi device on our home network so far. I am actively recommending this laptop to a family member who needs an upgraded machine, so I recommend it to others.

Perfect "on the go" laptop. Ended up being exactly what our daughter needed for her first year at college. She has a larger gaming laptop and a simply Chromebook for quick things, and this Zenbook fits right in the middle of those, well, maybe a little more towards the gaming laptop, but I digress. The screen (colors and image + touchscreen) are top-notch, really beautiful display. And while the refresh rate is nothing to write home about (60Hz) that aforementioned image quality more than makes up for it. The fact this isn't a gaming laptop nor does it try to sell itself as one is why I don't hold this against it. The camera is also better than I expected and the combination of those two things tells me this is a device ASUS wanted to be used by young professionals on the go, taking meetings, doing their work, etc. Build quality-wise this thing really punches above its weight-class. Backlit keys/keystroke feel, the hinge of the screen itself, trackpad and speaker quality (not nearly audiophile quality but also some of the best laptop speakers I've heard in a LONG time) -- everything feels very nice and sturdy, not cheap and flimsy. Battery life is a little "meh" and would be the only reason I'd entertain deducting a star. That and a lack expandability. You really don't have many USB ports and all the type-c are on the same side, a little annoying but not the end of the world. While I personally wouldn't use this as my daily driver as I need a lot of peripherals and a specific need to be met, I can absolutely see the environment where this thing shines; in the classroom or someone just getting started in a career and needs a very SOLID but slim laptop.

[PROS] Display Technologies: The OLED definitely enhances the viewing experience. Also, the increased resolution is noticeable sharper than the typical 1080p resolution found on most laptops. The touchscreen is very responsive and adds a useful dimension to the Zenbook. Suitable Battery Life/Charging Speed: This laptop is design for productivity which can eat away significantly at the battery life. I'm happy to report that I was able to get 14+ hours which far exceeded how long I would work on any device. The battery was severely drained, but did manage to charge quickly even with a third party charger. Seamless Experience: Using the Zenbook can be best summed up as fluid. I've been able to jump around programs effortlessly and complete tasks without a hitch. Furthermore, I didn't observe any performance dips when browsing on Chrome while utilizing AI features in a photo-editing app in parallel. [CONS] Minor nitpicks: I have no major gripes with the laptop, but I did have a few complaints. The Zenbook comes with essentially half a terabyte of storage. I believe having sufficient storage capacity is crucial when using a computer for productivity. It also keeps you less reliant on cloud-based solutions. The RAM is not upgradeable, but 32GB RAM or more would be overkill anyway. Lastly, I enjoy the display, but would've preferred for it to have been 1440p. The sharper resolution would've complimented the OLED display better. [CONCLUSION] The ASUS Zenbook hits the high points for me. It's allowed me to be productive and complete every task without slowdown or fear of battery depletion. I would highly recommend it.

This ASUS laptop was such a huge upgrade over my existing laptop. My old laptop is only 2 years old but you know how quick technology progresses in today’s world! Setup and startup were flawless as you’d expect. If I were to get a hiccup on the first few startups it would be a huge red flag to me. I’ve had it with other brands, but never ASUS. This device has instantly become my go-to laptop for me and it’s not close! After the initial startup and updates, I got to work and have been using this exclusively ever since. The keyboard is comfortable and very intuitive and precise. I love the tactile feel and it naturally fits my hands and wrists. The touchpad is one of my favorite parts of this laptop-it’s so much better than my old one! Truthfully, I didn’t think my old one was that bad until I used this and I realized how smooth and intuitive it should be! The screen is crisp and bright and the speakers were actually really impressive! I know, I didn’t expect that either with a laptop. I’ve come to appreciate the full metal case (like Apple) over the plastic laptop cases. It gives a much more ultra premium feel while still feeling very lightweight. Overall I’d highly recommend this!

I really love this laptop. The battery health and everything about it. It is just amaizing!
