A thin-and-light (a.k.a. ‘Ultrabook') is certainly an attractive option when it comes to portability, and the ZenBook 3 certainly delivers with a slim 0.5-inch thickness and 2 lb weight from its aluminum frame. Another aspect of thin-and-light designs are...
The Zenbook 3 UX390UA is a stylish-looking (if you care for the blue/gold color scheme) and in use was quite responsive thanks to fast solid state storage and that Core i7 CPU, but it was not perfect. I must mention the fan noise again, as any time the CP...

Over the past few months, we've seen a lot of manufacturers launching razor-thin laptops, and the ASUS ZenBook 3 is no different. While it may not be the thinnest laptop around, it is quite sleek, being a mere 11.9mm thick. It's also quite light as it wei...

Clear direction. Everything comes at a price. If you want super thin, you will have to waive ports – but not performance! After the throttling issues of the HP Spectre 13, the world's thinnest notebook, Asus can pull it off: Performance like a big system...

The ZenBook 3 UX390UA-GS041T can easily secure a spot among the top subnotebooks – but at the lower end of the ranking. Apple's MacBook 12 (Early 2016), Dell's XPS 13 9360 QHD+ i7, and HP's EliteBook Folio G1 V1C37EA manage better overall ratings, but the...

ZenBook is an awfully good name for the laptop we consider today. Careful meditation will come in handy when pondering whether to fork over a stratospheric $1,599 for a 12.5-inch ultrabook.Asus offers its latest ZenBook 3 in two incarnations, both in the...
The highend specs make up for the loss of touchability, and benchmarks in general showcase impressive but not earthshattering performance, at least on a poundforpound basis. It's particularly apt with graphics considering its size, turning in better perfo...
Flaws? Geez, where to begin? I hate the touchpad, which tracks decently but which has mushy, floppy buttons in the bottom corners. If you're not a taptoclick type, this alone is so frustrating it makes the machine a nogo. Even worse though is the keyboard...

Laptop manufacturers are still striving for the thinnest and lightest products they can develop. Apple has been the leader in this market for some time, producing high quality designs like the MacBook, but over the past year we've seen PC manufacturers jo...
Excellent thin and light metal build. Packs all the performance of a fullpower 'Kaby Lake' processor. More affordable than the MacBook for better hardware.
Only one USBC port is bad. Average battery life and keyboard.

ASUS's latest ultraportable the ZenBook 3 is often compared to Apple's 12-inch MacBook . And can you blame people? The laptop is even thinner and lighter than Apple's two-pound wonder, but just as fast and with longer battery life. And it comes with a min...

The design of the Asus ZenBook 3 (starts at $1,099; $1,599 as tested) is as close as you can get to that of the Apple MacBook without laser cutting an Apple logo into its slick aerospace-grade aluminum body. It's less than half an inch thick, but it doesn...

If you like to travel light, compromise is a way of life. We've seen a bounty of ultraportable laptops this year, and everyone of them has had to give at least a little on weight, price, hardware, or build quality.LG's Gram 15 had that big screen and insa...

Asus touts the ZenBook 3 as a superior MacBook alternative, and I'd have to partially agree. In a lighter and almost equally compact package, you get a much faster processor—one that better matches up with the fast storage and RAM paired with it. The fan...
