Reviews for the Asus ZenBook S UX391U
The ZenBook S (UX391) is a particularly light 13.3-inch laptop from Asus. It tips the scale at just 1 kg, but the manufacturer says the performance is not affected. We review the rival for the XPS 13.

Although the Asus ZenBook S is speedy enough to satisfy, and it looks the absolute business, there are too many flaws to recommend it, including a disappointing screen and some serious thermal issues.

If you’re in the market for a traditional Windows laptop that won’t weigh you down, the ZenBook S is a solid choice. Despite its small size, it has enough power for most tasks. Battery life is a letdown, but the S is still a good option unless you need to be unplugged for a full workday at a time.

Since ASUS’ refreshed ZenBook line is headlined by key features like crazy thin bezels, Ergolift hinges, and ScreenPads, it’s not surprising that their premium ultrabook line, the ZenBook S (UX391) gets some of that love too.

The Zenbook S doesn’t have the wow factor of Asus’ other Computex releases, but from what I’ve seen it looks like a solid, ultraportable Macbook rival.

The Asus ZenBook S isn’t the world’s thinnest, most affordable or even a 100% uniquely designed laptop, but it still looks like the Ultrabook to treat yourself with right now.

Inside, the ZenBook S is packing some pretty premium specs in that thin body, including a 13.3-inch 4K display, Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD on the top-of-the-line model.
