ASUS ZenBook 13 Ultra-Slim Laptop 13.3” FHD WideView, 8th-Gen Intel Core i7-8565U Processor, 8GB LPDDR3, 512GB PCIe SSD, Backlit KB, NumberPad, Military-Grade, Windows 10 - UX333FA-AB77 Royal Blue

*DISCLAIMER- I HAVE ONLY USED THE LAPTOP FOR ONE DAY*From my brief usage, the laptop is every fast and is exactly what you would expect from a higher end laptop such as this one. For some strange reason, they put an NVIDIA sticker on the laptop even though it uses Intels integrated GPU, so don't let that fool you.I spent around 2 months looking for the best laptop for me and eventually purchased this one. I am pretty knowledgeable about computers and can safely say that this is an excellent laptop for the price. They keyboard is excellent and is easy to type on, with decent key travel and requires enough force where it is a pleasurable typing experience.I purchased this laptop expecting the numpad to be a gimmick, but to my suprise it works very well. Asus must have corrected the issue where the numpad was slow which caused most people to avoid using it all together. Also, to the reviews that claim the trackpad is glitchy and unpredictable, they are wrong or have an old touchpad driver installed. Overall, the touchpad/numpad are both very good and I have no complaints.The display is beautiful and the thin bezels make it an excellent viewing experience. Sharp image with good colors for a 1080p display, but nothing crazy. Speakers are decent but you cant expect phenomenal speakers on a 13inch ultrabook.The build quality is excellent and feels very sturdy even though it weights 2.6 lbs.I have not tested the battery life but what I see online is 5-7 hours of use.The Bad:I have noticed from my brief time using it that it does get relatively warm quickly and the fan is not super quiet. Mine has a very slight coil whine but nothing too extreme. This is really the only "complaint" that I have this far and it really doesn't bother me too much.Overall, this laptop is an excellent choice and may be the best deal for the money. It is not perfect, but for the price, I seriously do not think you can find something better. I will update if I notice anything else.UPDATE: After using this computer for some time, I have very few bad things to say. My previous post stating that my laptop ran hot and had some coil whine is not the case, and only happened when I was setting up the computer. Since then, I have only heard the fan turn on a handful of times. The trackpad is quite small and sometimes locks up, but I also haven't updated the driver in a while so that may be my fault. Overall, this laptop has been great with awesome battery life and I have no regrets.

Really fast laptop. Decent graphics (can play your basic games no problem) but gets hot. With a laptop cooler on idle I rarely see it above 65C on full load. If you're trying to render video with this on your lap expect to feel pretty h0t. Excellent specs for 2019 and captivating screen quality. To the problems:The shift key being short is an issue and requires me to be mindful in using the right shift but that's the price you pay for incentive in compacting a laptop. Not all companies will get it right.Freezes very, very occasionally (Asus issue) so if you're using this laptop for anything mission critical I would not get this for 100% consistency. Seems to happen on heavy load. This is, after all, a computer, and these glitches happen (but a common Asus gremlin 4 sure).Webcam sucks, don't expect anything.These issues stick out to me overall in the problems that hold this laptop back, but everything else is very good, high quality experiences. Even that IR face recognition (not as good as iPhone though). Very small form factor!P.S Quiz your friends "whats the screen size on this laptop?"

So, this is a replacement for me from my last Asus 13" notebook.Overall, this is a very good computer. I was pretty surprised when I opened the box at how small it is. Yes, I should have studied the specs instead of assume it would be the same as the last one! No worry though, I like the small size and the screen size is same as before just all the way to the edges.The Good:Screen is sharp, colors are good, very happy with display qualityBuild is solid- seems better than my last which suffered a broken off screen at the hinge (twice!)Video playback is great at high resolutions- no stutterSound quality was surprisingly nice improvement over my previous model- very full sound.The facial ID to log in is truly a nice feature! Thought it would be gimmicky but works very well and saves me typing in a password each time I open my computer.Ports are just right- all the things that I need and in the right placesPowersupply is quite a bit smaller than my previous- that is great! I put my computer in my bag everyday and travel with it often so that is helpful.Quite- nice! Fan stays well behaved unless working on something really intense. Not much sound working in a quite living room in the evening.The bad (or at least not so good!)Touchpad- not as sensitive as my previous ASUS and with all the fiddling around with settings in the world I am not thrilled with it. It often doesn't pick up my finger movement, sometimes misreads finger movement and opens things I didn't intend- or zooms when I didn't want to. Selecting things can be hit or miss. It is still usable, but I now appreciate just how good my last one was!NumberPad- well, I guess if you are an accountant you will appreciate this feature but I am not. This makes it more of an annoyance because it will come on accidentally quite often when using the trackpad and then takes a couple seconds of attention to turn back off. When on it starts inadvertently inserting numbers into my documents so has to be disabled each time. Talked to support and they said "they are working on a shutoff but not possible now"Finish- It looks beautiful, but whatever the treatment on the body is it tends to really pick up finger print oils and always looks pretty messy. Have to always give it a wipe before opening in front of clients. didn't have to do this with previous AsusOverall, I would recommend this computer, just beware of a couple of the limitations going in. I am a pretty heavy user of this thing as it doubles as my work and personal computer at home so it travels a lot, gets opened and closed a lot, and is running a good 12 hours a day both plugged in and on battery. Seems like it is going to fill my needs well. Maybe they will come up with an update that improves the touchpad and turns off the Numberbad- then I would give it a 5 star rating and be thrilled!
