Asus ZenBook 3 UX390UA-GS041T Notebook Review | Notebookcheck
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.

The bottom line: Our quick verdict on the ASUS ZenBook 3

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.

Asus ZenBook 3 (UX390UA)
Source: Mobile Tech Review

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. There’s no doubt that the Taiwanese company drew inspiration from the 12-inch MacBook with the ZenBook 3, and while this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, the company copied the MacBook right down to its flaws as well.
Positive: High mobility; beautiful design. Negative: Limited connectivity; uncomfortable keyboard; high price.
