Battery life is excellent, with the office work I typically use it for I'm getting 14 to 15 hours of battery life. The computer is very light weight and excellent for traveling.

Worst laptop I have ever owned

I bought this laptop on February 16, 2026. It is now March 7, 2026. The first day I bought the laptop, I noticed several problems but because I was leaving soon to work overseas and wouldn't be returning for several months, I couldn't return the laptop to the store. Here are the problems with the Laptop:
Here is my list of problems with this computer:
1. The USB-A port does not work properly. I tried plugging my external hard drive into the USB-A port, but the drive would not stay in. While I was editing photos in Lightroom, the external hard drive kept on being ejected from the computer. This occurred every 2 to 5 minutes. I was being very careful and I didn’t bump or move or hit the Drive. I just gave up using that port for my external hard drive.
2. The shift key gets stuck so that I have to use a tweezer to pry it up. I am not pressing down hard on the keys. How crazy is that? I have never even had my 6-year-old keyboard on my Surface Pro or my previous ASUS do that before!
3. The facial recognition doesn’t work half the time.
4. The charger is impractical. I work overseas and I need to use an adapter at the end of the power cord to plug my computer into an outlet. Because the ferrite bead (barrel-shaped lump on the charging cable) is at the very end of the charging cable, the cable won’t stay in outlets. I had to buy a universal charging cable in order to be able to plug this laptop into an outlet overseas.
5. I only get 4 hours of battery life while working in Lightroom.
6. For the USB-C ports, I need to prop up my hub and the power cord so that they both stay in the port. If I don’t prop them up, they fall out of the port.
7. Sometimes the laptop just freezes on me. I try to click on an icon and nothing happens.
Here are some things I just dislike about the computer:
1. The speakers make audio sound very low. It’s just an unpleasant sound.
2. The mousepad is not comfortable to use.
Is the computer fast? Working in Lightroom is faster now than it was on my old 6-year-old Surface Pro. But for other functions, the speed is the same.
I do not recommend buying this laptop.
I also don't recommend using Chatgpt to help you make a laptop decision.

The first thing you’ll notice about this Asus Zenbook S14 is how light it feels. For a laptop this capable, it is shockingly light and portable. The 14” form factor is the perfect size for both home and travel use, and the build quality is what you’d expect from Asus, sturdy, precise and very premium. I’m not a fan of the “broken tile” design on the lid, but the slate gray color option is very nice. The material is called Ceraluminum, which from the website indicates that it is “an industry-grade fusion of ceramic and aluminum widely used for its strength, scratch resistance, lightness, and luxurious tactile feel, available exclusively for the Zenbook S Series.” It’s very premium feeling and does resist fingerprints very well.
The OLED screen is pleasantly bright, even in well-lit conditions, and the colors and blacks are superb. It will do 500 nit peak HDR and Asus says the colors “Pantone validated” which I cannot confirm myself, but the screen is amazing. The 3K resolution at 120Hz is a pleasure to use, and it has the power to push up to 3 external displays at various resolutions and refresh rates. I was able to push my two 49” OLED Samsung G9s without issue. It is also a touch screen which always comes in handy.
The I/O is respectable with two USB-C 3.2 ports, one USB-A 3.2 port and HDMI 2.1 port. It also supports WiFi-7 so for someone like me that has high speed internet in the home up to 2Gbps, the laptop can just about max out that speed wirelessly, which is awesome!
The power under the hood is respectable. It has a Core Ultra 7 EVO processor (Series 2, 258V) which has a 12MB cache and a max of 4.80GHz. It uses 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. That coupled with the 32MB of installed RAM will power through just about most day to day tasks. While this machine isn’t spec’d to be a complete workhouse or digital workflow powerhouse, it will handle just about anything the normal standard to slight power user can throw at it. The weak link in the armor here is the GPU. It’s just an Intel Arc at 1.95 GHz and very entry level. It will not handle much beyond standard visual workflows like browsing YouTube, watching videos and viewing pictures. It will do Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, but will not be good for any sort of gaming or high intense graphics applications. This machine is tailored toward productivity and not graphics. For Graphics you would want to look into the Asus ROG lineup.
The keyboard is a very nice size for a 14” laptop, with a nice and large trackpad which supports gesture control. There is also a dedicated Copilot button for Microsoft’s AI companion, and having the dedicated button is very nice because Copilot is getting better all the time. Being able to call on it with the press of a single button is nice to have.
It does support up to 65W of charging and the power supply that comes with it is 65W capable and has a very small form factor which is super nice. No more large, clumsy power supply here. It does seem to fast charge when depleted and so far battery life has been very good. I know they tout up to 27 hours of battery life for this machine, but that comes with many *, so I will say I can easily go a full day on a charge and have no issues with the battery life so far.
Overall this Zenbook is a pleasure to use and easy to take with me, and powers through anything we need it to do.

BIG improvement over my Dell XPS 13. Only downside is that there should be a USB-C on each side, rather than both on one side.

The laptop has been great except for Windows Hello. The camera on the laptop has trouble reading my face to open up Windows. It is annoying. It should not have this problem. My last hp spectre laptop did not have this problem.
