Absolutely love this laptop! The OLED screen is stunning, super fast performance, and the design feels premium. Perfect for work and travel.

Despite numerous lukewarm reviews I am very happy with this laptop. I upgraded it to windows 11 pro and also installed a WD SN7100 2TB SSD. I use it with an expansion dock through which I connect an external 4K Monitor. The only complaint I have is that the ASUS drivers seem a bit dodgy. The monitor sometimes doesn’t receive an HDMI signal after hibernation? Hopefully ASUS will address their deficiencies going forwards. I use a (fairly powerful, slightly noisy) cooling pad to address the heating that folks talk/complain about and it keeps my CPU temperature comfortably in the 50s. Overall I’m very happy with the laptop. Beautiful screen and a decent selection of ports.

Laptop is full of features and great value for money. Great screen. However, biggest issue with this laptop is heating while charging. It get worse when you are working and charging simultaneously. Asus need to work on cooling systems especially laptops being sold as AI compatible.

this laptop is close to perfect, especially considering the price on sale. Battery life is great for regular work use (emails, browsing, etc.) and remains very efficient throughout. Seems to get better over time as well, as it adjusts to work routines. I love the screen, in all it's Oled glory. Only issues I've had up to now has to do with some strange start-ups when waking up the laptop when it would occasionally take a long time to wake up, and also issues with the USB-c thunderbolt port connecting to projector (though that might be related to other issues and not the laptop itself). It can even do some light gaming at 720p or 1080p, with the integrated gpu working wonders! Overall, I don't think anyone can go wrong with this.

Great overall laptop. It is lightweight and has a great display.
I wish there were more USB ports, and the brightness level seems to dip a bit, but is easily changed.

It is like a current Macbook air but much better in my opinion. Battery life is less, but still getting like 8 hours and much better performance, software selection, upgradability, repairability, price etc etc even the design is hotter. I wanted a lightweight machine that runs most older games, runs cool, silent and this thing delivers. Looks fragile therefore i kept the inner paper box for backpack support until i find some clamshell case. The screen is amazing and the keyboard is one of the best i ever used. I had a few software bugs out of the box and the charger will charge anything but this machine so i am using it with a pd charge battery between the charger and the machine now until i figure out what is wrong.
Other than this I'm very happy with it.

Overall it's one of the windows laptops that make me feel, oh this actually might be able to compete with the macbook. But in the end the machine runs hot and the fan eventually gets loud anyway. But this laptop looks fine, truly. And the keyboard typing experience is pretty good as well.

To get it out of the way, I only have 2 complaints with this laptop. The first is that the trackpad is a diving board style mechanical click that doesn't really fit in with the premium feel of the rest of the laptop. It's not bad by any means, but once you've used a nice haptic touchpad like the ones on newer Surfaces and Macbooks, all the mechanical ones will feel cheap in comparison. The second is that the keyboard backlight even at its lowest setting is BRIGHT, if they could tone it down a bit with a bios update or something then the keyboard would be so much nicer to use in the dark. Everything else with this laptop is amazing, the thinness of it is unbelievable, the performance is great, even good enough for some light games (at actually playable framerates with decent graphics settings), the oled display is really nice to look at and the super slim bezels make it look even more premium and allow a 16" screen to fit in a resonably sized laptop, and I love the finish on the top lid of the laptop. Ive seen some complaints about it be easy to wear down and when I purchased mine as open box there were a small amount of scuffs near the edges but sinc ei have been using it, I have not seen any new marks appear after sliding it in and out of a sleeve constantly.

Truly incredible machine. Great performance, with far more cores and multicore performance than the zenbooks with lunar lake core ultra processors. Low fan noise, great speakers, amazing build quality. Beautiful screen! 24gb ram a welcome upgrade over 16, as I often find myself using more than 16gb in my standard use cases, but 24gb is more than enough for now. Highly recommended! Some complaints from other reviews seem to have been addressed by BIOS updates from Asus as I have not had the same issues. Oh and.. 10 hours of real world battery life! Amazing. Get it!

Pros:
OLED Screen
24GB RAM
I actually like the design and finishing on it (Personal preference)
Thin
Neutral:
Trackpad
CPU
Battery life
GPU
Cons:
Runs very HOT
I was excited to try the new AI chips. I was excited for the battery life and performance. But unfortunately battery life was the same as my 4 year old Lenovo that was the same price back then. Performance is fine. Nothing special. The graphics card was the biggest difference between this and my old laptop. 24GB of ram is nice for the price. The screen is nice. The other reviews are right, it runs HOT. Too hot for something that I don't keep on a desk all the time.

The screen is extremely clear and colorful, and it handles everything I used it for —work, streaming, multitasking—no problems so far. Its lightweight for the size, and the white finish looks really clean. Highly recommend!
