ASUS ZenBook 14 Ultra-Slim Laptop 14” FHD Nano-Edge Bezel, 8th-Gen Intel Core i7-8565U Processor, 16GB LPDDR3, 512GB PCIe SSD, Backlit KB, Numberpad, Windows 10 - UX433FA-DH74, Royal Blue

Hello to anyone who is even considering to buy an asus product! I bought the most expensive deluxe version of the zenbook only 5 months ago. Yesterday the screen just stopped working. Since I bought this laptop when it was a new product, when I made the purchase all of the reviews were good. Yesterday when I looked into the page of the product I found out about 30% of the customers who bought this version has the same issue. The screen just stopped working after few months. Of course Im not going to get any refund or replacements. You can take a look at the reviews: https://www.amazon.com/ZenBook-Ultraportable-i7-8550U-Processor-Windows/dp/B076CTR3MW

Very disappointed by Asus, I had high hopes for this computer. Lets start with the positive aspects first: The laptop is beautiful and razor thin. The 14 inch screen in the 13 inch body is beautiful and wide, colors are vibrant. The hinge seems to be solid, and overall the build quality is excellent. This is a well crafted laptop with high quality materials on the outside. Battery seems to last 6-ish hours of normal use (web browsing, wifi on, screen brightness at 30%) which is barely acceptable, but not deal-breaker for me. Performance wise the 8th gen quad core is blazing fast, and handles everything you throw at it with ease. The capacity of 512gb ssd is quite comfortable, and runs as fast as youd expect it to. 16GB of RAM is plenty for all demanding task light heavy photo editing, or coding and manipulating large data sets. It has plenty of ports for a laptop this sleek (1 jack, 2 thunderbolt, 1 usb-c), and the adapter usb-c to hdmi or usb is a welcome addition. Now the bad: I dont know if I got a lemon, but the laptop I got ran very hot! When plugged in, the upper right area (near the plug) was super hot and it was nearly uncomfortable to hold it on my lap. If running in battery, the laptop does feel warm but it is acceptable. However, CPU temperatures on the battery with nothing on except light browsing (chrome, light web reading, no videos) average 60-70 degrees Celsius, with some spikes at 80. Running slightly more demanding tasks such as opening google maps with a satellite view suddenly shoots temperatures in the 90s. This wouldnt be a problem if the hardware was designed to sustain such temperatures, except that the big drawback is the fan that is constantly running; when the laptop is idle, it is running half-speed which I measured was around 48dB. Open a web browser and the fan kicks in, constantly running full speed. It is quite distracting, I wonder what Asus engineers were thinking as I have never heard a laptop making that much noise on the long run for such light tasks. Plug in the charger and you basically have a plane engine on your lap, with noise levels averaging 60-70 dB. Dont get me wrong: having fans running full speed is ok when temporarily running demanding tasks. But having your fans constantly running full speed just because you opened a web browser is unacceptable. I really wanted to keep this laptop and tried getting used to the fan blowing up that much, but I couldnt. The so called liquid-crystal polymer cooling fan seems to be more of a marketing fluke than a real innovation. This is really unacceptable for a 1700$ laptop. Again, I do not know if I received a lemon, and would be willing to change my review if I was provided with another model that doesnt have a fan that noisy.

Laptop came very well to me I didn’t have any issues with it the only complain is battery life is only 3.5 or 4 hours maximum and for that price the battery should be much better there’s a lot of laptops that have much better battery than this but in terms or quality material is excellent is lightweight but the and the screen is great almost bezel less and face recognition is great but sometimes it don’t go well and it is very quiet the fans I don’t have any complain for that if guys are looking for a great laptop for that price get this one but if you’re looking for battery you should other laptops but I’m very happy with this laptop I give it 4.5 stars Update: Battery sucks dont buy this if you want a great battery get another laptop not this one!!!
