That Rose Gold Ultrabook – The Asus Zenbook 3
Source: Tech Girl
Archive.org version
The Asus Zenbook 3 is a gorgeous laptop. The gold trimming just turns it into something special… Asus have left nothing out (except maybe a GTX 1070 but I’ll forgive them) and you can immediately see the passion that went into making this. If you hate iOS but use a Mac because it’s a Mac, the Zenbook 3 is your baby. A true windows version of a Macbook, plus ROSE GOLD.

Asus Zenbook 3 UX390UA preview – is this THE ultraportable of this generation?
Source: Ultrabook Review Archive.org version
The Zenbook 3 UX390UA is rather unique among ultraportables, as a sleek and ultra-compact laptop with Core U hardware, fast storage, lots of RAM and plenty of other solid traits. As expected, all these don't come cheap and a few compromises were made in order to create such a sleek and powerful computer. If you're fine with the few corners that were cut off, the Zenbook 3 could be an excellent pick for you, just make sure to read the article below to understand exactly where this machine shines and where it trails behind.

Hands on: Asus ZenBook 3 review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
The Asus ZenBook 3 sounds like a winner on paper. How can you go wrong with Intel Core I-series power in a two-pound laptop? I'm chiefly wary of battery life and how much Asus really managed to squeeze into such a thin design and it's something I look forward to finding out in my full review.

During its short time with us the Zenbook 3 impressed us with its speed and its overall portability. The 7th generation Intel processor felt incredibly fast, though typing on the keyboard felt a little weird to be honest, but is workable – you just have to get used to it.

ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390UA Laptop Review
Source: PC Perspective Archive.org version
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 CPU did any sustained work during my evaluation period the fan would spin up audibly, and remain there for some time. The combination of a thin unibody chassis and a 15W Kaby Lake Core i7 CPU does work with a conventional active cooling system, but you will hear the fan quite a bit.

Asus ZenBook 3 Review- Strongest Competitor for the MacBook
Source: Tech Magnifier Archive.org version
Asus ZenBook 3 is one of the strongest competitors to the Apple MacBook. While on one hand MacBook offers you a better built quality offering a less powerful CPU setup, the ZenBook 3 is packed with a more powerful CPU underneath a delightfully chamfered design. The screen, design, speaker and battery life are one of the constructive factors in the ZenBook 3, however the limited number of ports does reduces the flexibility to a greater extent. Lastly, the ZenBook 3 actually offers you the kind of quality you expect from such a costly machine, and will not disappoint you in regular use.

Source: Kitguru Archive.org version
Asus have given the Zenbook 3 a white backlit keyboard which looks fantastic in lower light conditions. There is good spacing between each key and I didn’t find any problems with accidentally tapping more than one key at a time. The touchpad is also very impressive, although I would have liked a little more tactile feedback when clicking the button positions left and right.

Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA review: A MacBook Pro rival that costs less, but isn't perfect
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
The Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA is an extremely light laptop and one that doesn’t compromise performance or kill battery life as a result. It’s also more affordable than some of the alternatives, particularly in its entry-level spec. However, we’re not convinced about all the choices Asus has made. A single USB-C port won’t cut it for a lot of buyers, the ultra-slim keyboard isn’t great for long-form typing and the trackpad’s clicker mechanism has some real issues. The trackpad also seems a bit pointless when it’s reliability is mediocre, even if it’s down to Microsoft’s software. Its portability is just about unbeatable, but some of you may prefer the more accommodating style of the Dell XPS 13 or one of Asus’s cheaper ZenBook models.

Review: Asus Zenbook 3
Source: Wired Magazine Archive.org version
And an even bigger issue than all of this is its connectivity ports. The Zenbook features a headphone jack and just one USB-C port, end of story, which makes my complaining about the two USB-C ports on the Acer Swift 7 look silly by comparison. Sure, USB-C is the future, and it will be used for everything from charging to external display connections to peripherals. The problem is that Asus gives you just one port with which to do all that stuff. A dongle is included that expands that single USB-C port by turning it into one HDMI, one standard USB port, and one USB-C port. Sounds good, but you plug the power adapter into that USB-C port and you’ve still got limited connectivity, and no easy way to expand it. That may be OK for very casual use, but you’ll have to find a third-party adapter (with a spare USB-C port) if you want to connect more than one USB device at a time.

As mentioned earlier, the MacBook has been a go-to device for many, for some time now. If you can afford it, that is. But, lately there have been a few Windows-based laptops -- Spectre 13 and XPS 13 -- that are challenging its dominance. These laptops are really good, but none offers the kind of premium quotient that the Zenbook 3 commands. It is really very good looking. It's might powerful as well.

Asus ZenBook 3 Review: An Intel Kaby Lake-Powered Ultrabook
Source: Hot Hardware Archive.org version
Ultimately though, the ASUS ZenBook 3 is a top-shelf Ultrabook. The system performs very well, it offers good battery life, the typing and touchpad experience are good, and the display is great. There is a bit of premium to pay for an Ultrabook in this class – the Core i7-powered ZenBook 3 UX390UA-XH74-BL carries an MSRP of $1599, and the Core i5-based UX390UA-DH51-GR - $1099 – but that is to be expected. If you’re comfortable with the machine’s I/O configuration, we believe consumers looking for a premium Ultrabook will be quite pleased with the ZenBook 3. Definitely add this machine to your list...

ASUS UX390UA-XH74-BL Laptop Review
Source: Tech For Pennies Archive.org version
ASUS UX390UA-XH74-BL surely is everything a power user or professional needs. First, it’s darn fast: there is absolutely nothing the Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM and SSD couldn’t do software-wise. Second, it has a sweet 12.5 inches Full HD display, the screen and the whole system weighing just 2.1 pounds. Only question is the price – if you have the money, and want (and need!) only the best, then giving a shot for this ASUS is an excellent choice.

Asus Zenbook 3 UX390UA Review
Source: Gear Open Archive.org version
The ZenBook 3’s striking design, light weight and incredible thinness will lure you in, but this laptop’s beauty is more than skin deep. You can enjoy watching videos on the sharp and vibrant screen while listening to the powerful speakers and crunching a giant spreadsheet in another window. Unfortunately, when you pack this 2-pound laptop in your bag, you’ll also need to bring an adapter for connecting peripherals and a power cord for charging when the device runs out of juice before the end of your workday.

Asus ZenBook 3 (UX390UA)
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
With the ZenBook 3, Asus has shrunk the Core i7 laptop to amazingly slender proportions—only the HP Spectre 13 is thinner. Though the ZenBook 3 costs a few hundred dollars more than the Spectre, it bests it on every spec and performance measure, except for port selection. It's certainly faster and more comfortable to type on than the Apple MacBook, and it lasts longer on a battery charge, though the MacBook has a higher-resolution screen. The Dell XPS 13 Touch is a different animal, as it has a closer price, a much higher-resolution touch screen, and better connectivity (two USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C port with Thunderbolt, and an SD card reader), but a lower-performing processor, less storage, and less memory.

ASUS ZenBook 3 review: A powerful MacBook competitor with issues
Source: Engadget Archive.org version
The ZenBook 3 does a decent job of mimicking the MacBook's design while also cramming in faster hardware. But the combination of a hard-to-use keyboard and trackpad, along with build quality concerns, make it difficult to recommend.

A Windows cure for your 12-inch MacBook envy
Source: CNet Archive.org version
Powerful Core i7 processor in a slim, portable package with an excellent touchpad. A helpful USB-C mini-dock is included. The 12.5-inch display is locked at 1,920x1,080 resolution, and it isn't a touchscreen. Lots of extra bloatware. Battery life isn't as good as the MacBook. Other similarly configured systems cost less.

Asus’ Zenbook 3 beats Apple’s MacBook at its own game
Source: Digital Trends Archive.org version
Yes. The Zenbook 3 is expensive. You can buy a laptop that’s as quick, for less. But that’s not the point. Super-thin laptops like the HP Spectre, MacBook, and Zenbook 3 promise to offer everything a laptop normally does in a case nearly as thin as your smartphone. Asus’ flagship lives up to that promise better than any laptop before it.

Asus ZenBook 3 review: This MacBook clone is powerful but too faithful to the original
Source: PC World Archive.org version
If you don’t give two figs about Apple and just want a compact Windows machine that’s easy to carry around, well—the ZenBook 3 is really portable. I carried it to and from work on public transit without noticing it too much in my backpack. It performs well, too. So if you can live with just one USB port, there’s a lot to like. If you can’t—well, there are plenty of excellent ultrabook competitors to choose from. You’ll just have to pick a different feature that compromises on something you don’t care about.

Asus ZenBook 3 Laptop Review
Source: Reviewed.com Archive.org version
All things considered, I'm pretty blown away by the ZenBook 3, but this isn't a laptop for everyone. Though it's the spitting image of the Apple MacBook on the inside, this computer is like the Hulk compared to Apple's mild-mannered Bruce Banner. Unfortunately for Asus, in the parlance of the Green Goliath himself, Hulk smash battery. By going with a normal Core i chip, you're going to hear a humming fan occasionally, and you're going to be reaching for your charger a whole lot more often. So you can have power or runtime, but not both in an ~11 mm thick case.

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, but as thin as a fanless tablet.

Asus ZenBook 3 (UX390UA)
Source: Mobile Tech Review Archive.org version
I think you can tell that I like the Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA quite a lot. If you've lusted over the 12" MacBook but are a Windows person, or if you've looked at the LG Gram laptops and found their lack of rigidity disconcerting, this could be the ultraportable for you. The Asus is every bit as well made as the MacBook, with an extremely rigid and well finished aluminum casing. The quad stereo speakers are louder and clearer than many larger laptops--in fact the ZenBook 3's speakers are louder and fuller than the 15.6" Asus ROG GL502 high end gaming laptop's speakers and are more clear for dialog than the HP Spectre x360's quad speakers. Performance is the same as any 13.3" Ultrabook, though we did note some thermal throttling under heavy, sustained load, but happily temperatures are surprisingly low.

Asus ZenBook 3 (UX390UA) Review and Ratings
Source: Computer Shopper Archive.org version
If you're looking for an extremely portable laptop that's also capable of serious work, without slowing down or conking out before the end of an extended workday, the ZenBook 3 is tough to argue against. At $1,599 for our Core i7 review unit, it costs as much as a midrange gaming laptop, but leading-edge machines like these always demand a premium. If it's too big of one for your budget, the Core i5 model with 8GB of RAM should provide plenty of pep for mainstream tasks, while shaving $500 off. Give that machine a look, if money is tight. On top of which, its neutral-grey hue, to our eyes, looked more professional than the blue and gold of the model we tested.

Asus ZenBook 3 Review: Taking Things Too Far
Source: Lowyat.net Archive.org version
The Asus ZenBook 3 is an impressive ultraportable, but Asus took things a little too far with it.

Positive: High mobility; beautiful design. Negative: Limited connectivity; uncomfortable keyboard; high price.

Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA-GS039T
The Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA-GS039T is a ultra portable laptop ideal for personal or business usage on the go. It measures at 296 x 11.9 x 191.2 mm. A 11.9 mm laptop is considered really thin and it directly competes with the 12 inch Macbook. With a weight of 910 g, it is even lighter than a MacBook 2016, which weighs at 920 g. In order to keep the Zenbook lightweight, yet solid, it features an all-metal uni-body case moulded from a single sheet of aerospace grade aluminium. Asus also added a special design with 2-phase anodizing process to create golden highlights at the edge of the laptop. There are three colors of the laptop to select from, which are Rose Gold, Royal Blue, and Quartz Grey. However, the royal blue version may cost slightly more in some countries, since the color extends to the keyboard and the gold lining around it covers the keys as well. In some ways, the Zenbook looks prettier than the Macbook and Asus claims that it is also stronger than the Macbook. For hardware specification, it is packed with an Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, an Intel HD Graphics 620 graphic card, and a 512 GB SSD. The processor can achieve a clock speed of up to 3.5 GHz with Turbo. This hardware specification can easily perform multiple tasks at the same time without lag, which is crucial for business laptops. The inclusion of an i7 processor is also something amazing considering its thickness. The Macbook only manages to squeeze in an Intel M processor, which isn't really built for serious usage, to keep its thin profile. As for the display, it comes with a 12.5-inch Full HD LED backlit display. The screen features a wide 72% NTSC color gamut and a TV-grade 1000:1 contrast ratio for ultra-realistic visuals. The screen is protected by edge-to-edge Corning Gorilla Glass 4, in order to withstand minor scratch and damage. It has an integrated webcam with a resolution of 0.3 MP for video telephone, which is essential for a business laptop. The Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA-GS039T features a Li-Polymer 40 Wh 6 cell battery capable of delivering up to 9 hours of battery life. The Windows 10 Macbook competitor is equipped with two integrated Harman Kardon Stereo speakers and another two 5-magnet speakers which make it an array of four separate high-quality speakers. It runs on Asus SonicMaster Technology to deliver cinematic surround sound. This really enhances the Zenbook 3's audio capabilities making it better than the Macbook's. The keyboard of the Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA-GS039T is a full-size gold backlit chiclet keyboard with a fingerprint sensor built in the touchpad. A key travel of 0.8 mm key makes the keyboard very effortless to use and allows fast typing. A fingerprint sensor makes for fast and easy authentication without typing password or PIN. However, both the keyboard and touchpad fall behind the Macbook in terms of usability. For connectivity, the laptop features a dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth v4.1. As for input/output ports, it includes a USB 3.1 Type C (10 GB/s) with DisplayPort support, audio-out, S/PDIF, and an SD card reader. The Zenbook 3 is definitely a better choice when compared to the Macbook. It offers greater specs but its keyboard and touchpad lacks the smoothness found in the Macbook.

Review: Asus Zenbook 3 UX390 notebook computer
Source: Gadgetguy Archive.org version
The Asus ZenBook 3 is a first class, super light weight, super slim notebook computer with strong performance. Don’t let my remarks on the keyboard put you off – I dwelt on it principally because I was bemused as to why Asus chose non-standard key widths – because it was actually a fine keyboard in use, and one soon gets used to the size and shape.

Review: Asus Zenbook 3 UX390 is a super-thin delight
Source: PC Authority Archive.org version
This Ultrabook might not be cheap, but it is arguably the sexiest on the market. The unbelievably low weight and ultra slick design helps it stand out from the pack, and is the best Zenbook Asus has ever made, which is saying something. Just be prepared to add the cost of a USB 3.0 Type-C into the buying equation.

That’s not to say the ZenBook 3 is a bad piece of hardware; in fact I quite like the amount of power that’s packed into this design. It’s simply not the standout laptop in the ever expanding ultrathin market.

Review: Asus ZenBook 3
Source: PC World Archive.org version
If you don’t give two figs about Apple and just want a compact Windows machine that’s easy to carry around, well—the ZenBook 3 is really portable. I carried it to and from work on public transit without noticing it too much in my backpack. It performs well, too. So if you can live with just one USB port, there’s a lot to like. If you can’t—well, there are plenty of excellent ultrabook competitors to choose from. You’ll just have to pick a different feature that compromises on something you don’t care about.

Hands On: ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390UA
Source: Unlocked Newegg Archive.org version
Overall, it’s easy to be impressed with the ZenBook 3. The inclusion of a 7th generation i7 CPU in addition to the solid storage specs and attractive design make this an easy recommendation for someone who wants a high performance laptop in a tiny case. We do think ASUS will eventually combine their ZenBook Flip with the ZenBook 3 and just make a tiny 2-in-1. Regardless, ASUS clearly has a winner on their hands and, if you’re skeptical about the blue/gold, don’t be. We loathe anything that screams old money. But the ASUS team won us over. Nicely done.

We can say Asus really did a good job with a 910 gram Asus Zenbook 3. Packing with a beautifully designed aluminum case, powerful intel core i7 7th generation processor for performance, it ticks all the right boxes. But there are few con’s including lack of traditional connectivity and premium price.

Asus Zenbook 3 UX390 Review: Sleek and powerful, but the price tag is high
Source: The Indian Express Archive.org version
Factor in the price tag of Rs 1,47,990 and you’re going to be hard pressed to figure out if you absolutely must have a compact form-factor with the powerful CPU-RAM combination that is slightly crippled by the lack of a GPU. There’s no denying the Zenbook 3 is a gorgeous and powerful machine, however the price-point puts it square in the league of people who are willing to spend whatever money to get something compact, light and extremely powerful.

Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe UX490UA
Asus announced an update to the ZenBook line with the ZenBook 3 Deluxe. The Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe UX490UA is a super-thin 13-inch laptop with a 14-inch screen. The size of a laptop doesn't necessarily mean that its screen is that big. In fact, due to the extra space that a screen's bezels take up, a laptop's display is usually smaller than its advertised size. Knowing this, Asus outfitted the ZenBook 3 Deluxe with supremely thin bezels (7.46 mm wide) to give the notebook the biggest possible screen area. Some might be disappointed by the screen’s Full HD resolution, but the display does not disappoint on image quality. The display’s glossy Gorilla Glass looks great, and colors pop in the same way they did on the ZenBook 3. Asus says it’ll cover 100% of the sRGB color gamut, which will be great for photographers and people who enjoy vibrant colors. The ZenBook 3 Deluxe takes its design cues from its little brother, the original ZenBook 3. It's one of the most beautiful premium laptops on the market. The aluminum navy-blue lid uses Asus' trademark concentric circles with a golden logo. Along the edge of the lid, a user will find a gold accent. Lifting the lid reveals the 14-inch, 1080p display and more navy blue. Specifically, the keyboard is blue with gold lettering (and gold-tinted backlighting), while the deck and touchpad are coated in that same beautiful blue. It's subtle enough to be professional, but still attractive enough to turn heads. The internal components are very similar to the ZenBook 3's. User gets a choice of Intel Core i5-7200U or i7-7500U processors, both of which are dual-core and well suited to photo editing and moderate office work. They’re paired with 16 GB of DDR4 memory running at 2,133 MHz, super-fast PCIe SSDs up to 1 TB in capacity. There’s 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 as well. The backlit keyboard has a slightly deeper 1.2mm of travel, which makes a big difference to the typing feel. The touchpad, meanwhile, feels fine and responsive and the useful fingerprint scanner on the top-right corner makes a welcome return. There are four separate speakers inside the ZenBook 3 Deluxe. Considering how impressive the audio on the original ZenBook 3 was, these are ought to be even better. At 1.22 kg (2.7 pounds) and 33.92 x 21.34 x 1.27 cm (13 x 8.4 x 0.5 inches), the ZenBook 3 Deluxe is both thinner and lighter than most of the competition, though it has a slightly larger footprint thanks to its 14-inch display. There are more ports than the ZenBook 3 as well. There is a total of three USB-C connectors, all of which can be used for charging. Two of the ports support ThunderBolt 3 for connecting high-performance displays and storage, while the third is a plain USB 3.1 connector. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack, but no SD card slot. The Zenbook 3 Deluxe is definitely a premium offering by Asus but it does come at a heavy price. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

This remains an eye-catching, ultra-portable laptop with a decent keyboard and trackpad, a nice 1080p display and dual Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, but it could have been much more. Competition in the premium Ultrabook space isn't letting up, and a simple CPU upgrade ultimately isn't enough for the ZenBook 3 Deluxe to challenge its rivals.

The ASUS Zenbook 3 Deluxe doesn’t fall far from the tree. It sports the same sleek and premium built of its predecessor, the Zenbook 3. However, their difference lies in certain aspects — this one got a larger display, larger SSD capacity, and bigger battery. Nevertheless, it’s a worthy a successor and if you are willing to spend Php104,995 on a laptop that is compact, premium, and powerful, then this one will surely satisfy you.

Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe review: Slim and stylish, but the screen may disappoint
Source: Zdnet.com Archive.org version
Asus has packed a 14-inch screen into a compact, solidly built yet lightweight chassis, although the screen's moderate resolution and lack of touch support will be an issue for some. The claims made for the quad speaker setup seem overblown, though, and Asus should reconsider the positioning of the power button and absence of an SD card reader. Some buyers (and their IT managers) might also hanker for Windows 10 Pro rather than Home.

ASUS ZenBook 3 Deluxe review: Almost a perfect Windows Ultrabook
Source: Hardware Zone Archive.org version
In summary, the ZenBook 3 Deluxe is a good effort from ASUS that comes oh so close to perfection. It is well designed, thin, and very light, but what prevented us from giving it a higher score is its short battery life, audible fan noise and performance throttling issues. If these aspects things don’t bother you because you typically have light productivity needs, then the ZenBook 3 Deluxe is a supremely attractive and portable notebook with a larger than usual display (14 inches) for its form factor. These are the most salient highlights of this notebook.

The Zenbook UX490 is an excellently crafted laptop with a beautiful, compact and light body, but also a very good keyboard, top-tier hardware specs and decent connectivity. However, in my opinion Asus somewhat sacrificed practicality for the sake of aesthetics on this computer, as the rather dim and glossy screen, the 46Wh battery and the potential throttling on higher loads (details in the article) are just not delivering the flawless experience I would expect from a premium computer that costs $1699 and up.

Aside from the minor niggles, we really can’t find a fault with the ZenBook 3 Deluxe. It’s incredibly beautiful, well built, has pretty capable hardware plus the legs to go the distance on a single charge. But as always, there’s a catch – and that’s the price. The ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490 starts at Php 81,995 for the 256GB model, and goes up to Php 104995 for the 1TB model that was in the notebook that we reviewed. That pricing makes it a pretty expensive notebook.

Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
The Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490UA is an incredibly slim laptop with breathtaking looks, a vivid display and a comfortable keyboard. On the surface, it's easy to fall in love with this comely clamshell. The biggest ding to the device is its poor battery life, coming in under 7 hours in our tests. At least you can use an external webcam to replace the poor, low-res one that comes built in, but you shouldn't have to do that on a $1,700 machine. If you can handle a thicker laptop, consider the Dell XPS 13, which is still our favorite notebook. It lasts longer on a charge, and offers strong performance and a wide variety of ports. Although you can get it starting at $800, I'd recommend starting at the $1,000 or $1,350 configurations for better specs. If you were looking at dropping $1,700 on the ZenBook 3, that's a deal. But if you're going for style points, the ZenBook 3 Deluxe earns top marks. Whether you're at work, the office or home, someone's going to notice your laptop.

Asus clearly looks to boost its ZenBook line with the Deluxe to not just compete against the 12-inch MacBook, but now the new entry-level MacBook Pro. The thing is, though, that with the MacBook Pro, you’re getting a far sharper screen for 200 bucks less.

The latest Asus Zenbook deploys an updated Intel processor to make big gains in performance, and it serves up high quality when it comes to design, ergonomics and screen quality. It doesn’t quite have the power for every computing task as Asus claims, but it’s an excellent option if you need a capable all-rounder that won’t weigh you down.

Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe UX490UA
Asus announced an update to the ZenBook line with the ZenBook 3 Deluxe. The Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe UX490UA is a super-thin 13-inch laptop with a 14-inch screen. The size of a laptop doesn't necessarily mean that its screen is that big. In fact, due to the extra space that a screen's bezels take up, a laptop's display is usually smaller than its advertised size. Knowing this, Asus outfitted the ZenBook 3 Deluxe with supremely thin bezels (7.46 mm wide) to give the notebook the biggest possible screen area. Some might be disappointed by the screen’s Full HD resolution, but the display does not disappoint on image quality. The display’s glossy Gorilla Glass looks great, and colors pop in the same way they did on the ZenBook 3. Asus says it’ll cover 100% of the sRGB color gamut, which will be great for photographers and people who enjoy vibrant colors. The ZenBook 3 Deluxe takes its design cues from its little brother, the original ZenBook 3. It's one of the most beautiful premium laptops on the market. The aluminum navy-blue lid uses Asus' trademark concentric circles with a golden logo. Along the edge of the lid, a user will find a gold accent. Lifting the lid reveals the 14-inch, 1080p display and more navy blue. Specifically, the keyboard is blue with gold lettering (and gold-tinted backlighting), while the deck and touchpad are coated in that same beautiful blue. It's subtle enough to be professional, but still attractive enough to turn heads. The internal components are very similar to the ZenBook 3's. User gets a choice of Intel Core i5-7200U or i7-7500U processors, both of which are dual-core and well suited to photo editing and moderate office work. They’re paired with 16 GB of DDR4 memory running at 2,133 MHz, super-fast PCIe SSDs up to 1 TB in capacity. There’s 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 as well. The backlit keyboard has a slightly deeper 1.2mm of travel, which makes a big difference to the typing feel. The touchpad, meanwhile, feels fine and responsive and the useful fingerprint scanner on the top-right corner makes a welcome return. There are four separate speakers inside the ZenBook 3 Deluxe. Considering how impressive the audio on the original ZenBook 3 was, these are ought to be even better. At 1.22 kg (2.7 pounds) and 33.92 x 21.34 x 1.27 cm (13 x 8.4 x 0.5 inches), the ZenBook 3 Deluxe is both thinner and lighter than most of the competition, though it has a slightly larger footprint thanks to its 14-inch display. There are more ports than the ZenBook 3 as well. There is a total of three USB-C connectors, all of which can be used for charging. Two of the ports support ThunderBolt 3 for connecting high-performance displays and storage, while the third is a plain USB 3.1 connector. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack, but no SD card slot. The Zenbook 3 Deluxe is definitely a premium offering by Asus but it does come at a heavy price. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490UA (i5-7200U, 256 GB SSD) Subnotebook Review | Notebookcheck
14-inch Camouflage. Update 2/22/2018: finalized our additional tests. Asus is pretty ambitious with its latest subnotebook, to say the least. At 14 inches it is large enough for serious work but at the same time highly portable with just 13 mm of thickness and a weight of no more than 1.1 kg. Thanks to NanoEdge, Asus has been able to fit a large screen into a 13-inch case. Big, ugly ports are also a thing of the past: the future belongs to 2x Thunderbolt 3, which is incidentally also used for charging.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
