Reviews for the Asus ZenBook S13 UX392FN-AB006R

The ZenBook S13 UX392F is definitely one of the prettiest notebooks we’ve used so far this year and has enough grunt in its aluminum chassis to tackle everything work has to throw at you. Unfortunately, though that beauty and brawn come at a steep price: the ZenBook S13 UX392F retails for around Php 99,995. At around a hundred grand, you really have to think long and hard if that slab of beautiful aluminum is really worth it, but if you’re the type that can afford the ZenBook S13 UX392F, there’s really nothing like it in the market today.

The ASUS ZenBook S13 is an excellent option for those who are looking for a productivity laptop with a compact build, immersive display, decent battery life, and good performance. It even comes with a dongle if you find the IO ports limiting. Sadly, there’s no Thunderbolt 3 or touch screen. It would have been almost perfect if it had those. But if you don’t require those and are satisfied with what it has to offer, then get the ZenBook S13.

I've gotten my hands on the vast majority of ZenBooks over the years, and the ZenBook S13 UX392 is Asus's best ultrabook to date. It's not perfect and is also not for everyone, but it pushes the industry forward with its design, build quality and features. That's why, if you're in the market for a premium built compact laptop with a great screen, fast keyboard, and the performance to handle everyday chores, demanding tasks and some games at the end of the work-day, this is one of the better-value options out there.

NVIDIA GeForce MX150: Pascal GP108 based laptop graphics card and mobile version of the desktop GeForce GT 1030. Offers 384 shader cores and usually 2 GB GDDR5 with a 64 Bit memory bus. Manufactured in 14nm.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

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.
i7-8565U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
