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

Nano-Edge is great 14" is great 8565U + 16GB is great Immediately after using this computer in the first hour I noticed the trackpad issue. The mouse will jump around and speed up, then freeze for a second, then move again. This repeats constantly and sometimes lasts minutes. If you were doing anything intensive with the mouse, you can forget being able to use this laptop. Games, drawing, even drag and drop are nearly impossible. The computer came installed with Windows 10, sure, but also a TON of other software. I thought that was making this machine slow and I wanted to erase everything down to a simple windows 10 install with nothing more but had issues with the usb boot disk getting to boot from the bios. After wrestling with windows for 8 hours, I gave up on my dualboot intentions and just erased the whole thing and installed Antergos linux. The trackpad issue remains a problem and really gets in the way of my productivity. After searching and reading more reviews specifically about trackpad performance, it seems that Asus laptops have this issue across all of their Zenbooks going back to 2011. The only fix Ive seen suggested is to remove the casing and tape a piece of tinfoil between the battery and trackpad. I think Id rather just return the laptop and get my $1,500 (included 4 year warranty). There are plenty of other comparable machines at the $1,200 to $1,500 price point. I can get myself a MacBook Air for that price!

I purchased this zenbook 14" because the specs were really good for the price but was really disappointed after using it just a couple of hours. I read a couple of other reviews about the trackpad being bad but purchased anyways, thinking how bad could it really be? Turns out its really bad. The trackpad will randomly stop working every few minutes and the mouse will sometimes jump around randomly. Also, there is a pretty consistent hum of coil whine coming from the left side of the computer during simple tasks like using chrome and watching videos. Also the battery life is not great, but it charges pretty quick. Overall pretty disappointed with Asus on this laptop as Ive always been a fan of their products such as gpus and monitors. Save yourself some time and look for a different laptop.

First off, this laptop is absolutely beautiful. I preferred it over competitors like the XPS13 because of its great design, color, finish, webcam, and overall feel. The screen opens with one hand, and the keyboard tilt is subtle and great. Unfortunately, right out of the box, it came with a whining and squeaking noise from the internals - Coil Whine. I thought it was a defective version, so I sent it back for a replacement. The second one, however, had the same problem! I now have no choice but to return it and go for a more reliable Dell XPS 13 instead, even though it has half the RAM and storage. Im quite disappointed, but for the price Im paying, I deserve a quiet experience.
