||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Zenbook S16 is built on an unstable firmware stack — EC, ACPI, and I2C constantly fail in different ways, and ASUS’s forced power‑management only hides the instability instead of fixing it. Every reboot brought a new failure, making the laptop impossible to rely on. This isn’t a stable product — it’s a rotating set of problems.

good but not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this laptop very much except there is a problem with its speakers. They stop working for some unknown reason. I have to restart the computer to get the speakers to work again. It has been inconvenient during Zoom meetings

I would recommend this to a friendGood laptop, but backlight was too bright
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought the computer was good, but the backlit keyboard was way too bright even on the lowest setting. I had to close the laptop lid while turning to the backlight down so I didn't blind other people on the airplane. The touchpad could also be better, mechanical just isn't that helpful.

I would recommend this to a friendThin and light is great if cooled properly
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Design is excellent. The laptop looks beautiful. Speakers are awesome. Screen is nice but very very glossy. Port selection is good. Windows felt snappy overall. Track pad is pretty solid. Battery life seemed okay. The biggest problem was how hot the keyboard and bottom felt when performing heavy tasks. Very hot to touch. Would burn your skin if touching. The fans would run while even watching 4K video on YouTube. This was a turn off for me so I returned the device. Most reviews have the same concerns with the heat so it is not isolated to this unit it is a design flaw across the board.

Defective ASUS laptop(s)
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I generally like ASUS laptops, but I had a bad experience, actually several, with this one. The first one I bought constantly overheated. GeekSquad tried to repair it but to no avail, so they replaced it. The replacement had a bad motherboard, so that got replaced as well, but with a different brand. The odds of getting 2 bad ones should be fairly low, so maybe there is some issue with this particular model.

Serious issues with internet connectivity.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely frustrating. I was hoping that it would work fine, but it didn't. Wifi is horrible even after updating the drivers. After talking to support on line. After going to best buy to have it checked. Google Earth some times doesn't open; I had to open it in safe mode. The internet connection comes in and out. My Nimo laptop that I bought reads downloads of 550 to 600 mbs versus this Asus at 25 to 50 mbs side by side. What I love is the backlit keyboard, the light weight, the OLED touch Screen and has amazing speaker system. But none of this is important if the laptop doesn't work. I'm going to return it. Spent a lot of time trying to make it work but I think it has serious issues with BIOS and the internet says that the ASUS battery management system is to blame.
