ASUS ZenBook S13 Ultra Thin & Light Laptop 13.9” FHD, Intel Core i7-8565U CPU, GeForce MX150, 8GB RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Windows 10 Pro, Silver Blue, UX392FN-XS71

So this is kind of an "initial impressions" review (I'll try to come back in a few months and update the review based on a longer experience). Things I really like: the amazing light weight; the beautiful, bright, screen; long battery life; fast boot time via the SSD; built-in USB port; i7 core processor is fast; discrete NVIDIA video chip (bottom of the line, but still rare in a laptop this thin and light) and dedicated video memory; the supplied carrying case; fast charge time; and most of all, the sturdy, rugged chassis. The key features to me are the extremely light weight and the very high quality, CNC-machined, uni-body aluminum chassis. Things that are OK: sound quality and volume; nonvolatile storage capacity; trackpad; keyboard; reasonably small amount of bloatware; dongle for HDMI and other connections Things I don't like: power charger (cable should be longer); no Thunderbolt support; no ability to upgrade RAM Things I wish it had but understand why it doesn't . . . numeric keypad; dedicated Home and End keys; larger palm rest in front of keyboard. I have a bunch of laptops from very basic no-frills models, to heavy-duty gaming laptops with high end NVIDIA chips and lots of video memory. I bought this laptop so I could work while traveling without lugging around any more weight than necessary. "Work" for me means connecting to my office network, running basic MS Office apps (Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint) and doing Internet searches. No video production or processing. No heavy gaming. Not sure whether this laptop would really be suited to such heavy-duty use. So far, this laptop really fills the bill for what I need. Overall, I love this laptop. I think we're going to be together for a long, long, time. 8/26/20 UPDATE: I said that I would try to come back in a few months and update this review based on a longer experience. It has been several months now, and I still love this computer! My other laptops all have 16 GB of memory and I was not sure that the 8 GB in this machine would be adequate. So far, I have not noticed any issues with that. Again, I mostly use this laptop for MS Office Apps, email and Internet. Not real heavy duty. On the other hand, the build quality of this very lightweight laptop IS heavy duty. Solid as a bank vault. The screen is small, but oh so bright. This has quickly become my favorite laptop. Highly recommended!

I have had this computer since Aug 2024 and I wish like hell I would have sent it back like I did the first one. The first one arrived dead on arrival. This 2nd one was working fine until last month when the laptop fan refuses to stop running. It's very noisy, obnoxious and very distracting in terms of trying to work on it! It also does weird things like shuts off and doesn't want to come back on until the next day. I would not recommend this laptop to my worst enemy!

I am coming from the DELL XPS 13 9370 that unfortunately, the screen broke. To start with, the bezels on the dell is smaller at three of the edges, save the bottom. The XPS would last all day on a charge, at least for me, doing what I would consider regular stuff. This barely makes six hours in comparison. The fan would remain on most of the time while doing light stuff, web browsing, Kindle, watching Netflix etc. The Dell XPS would hardly ever switch on doing the same stuff. I've used the MyAsus application and set the fan to silent. It does not help, as far as I can see. Downloaded the latest bios update and flashed, still works the same way. The keypad is good, no problems there. The touchpad with the fingerprint scanner there in the corner is just an annoyance period, can't tell you how many times my finger slipped down there. It also feels kind of loose, noisy like. If I keep my finger and hold the pad on one corner, no problems, its silent. The screen is good and has good contrast. Looks better than the XPS screen by a small but noticeable margin. The build quality is good but I think DELL does a better job. The quality and volume of the speakers falls way short of the XPS and it rattles if you adjust the spectrum to higher levels to compensate. It stays generally cool but would rather the fan not be on all the time. While writing this review and without anything running in the background, the fan never turned off. This would definitely reduce the serviceable lifespan and I'm sure, reduce run time. I tend to take care of my stuff and have them for a long time hence why I usually invest in the premium stuff. I cannot recommend this and for the price, I would invest on a Dell XPS, beautifully made and just works without major problems out of the box.

Excellent, I use for work and play. I prefer a smaller laptop and with this screen, it doesn't feel smaller. The keyboard is excellent, the customization for fans allows for quieter game play when I'm doing light gaming. The hinge lift is an excellent feature. The only thing missing is touchscreen capability, but I dont really mind not having it with this laptop as beautiful and functional as it is without it, plus its not a 2 in 1. Its by far the best laptop I've ever owned and its so light and compact i can take it anywhere with no hassle at all. Fantastic product by Asus. (sidenote: i upgraded from an HP spectre x360 that was a couple of years old. It was an excellent laptop but pales in comparison to this.)

It DOES NOT have a touch screen, and the pale yellow colored letters on the keyboard are difficult to see.

Bad bad bad all around laptop. There are so few quality electronics these days that I bounce from brand to brand and Asus is definitely not it. Flimsy hardware that does not last, very cheap construction. You're better off with a Mac!

This is a great overall value laptop computer. I recommend the ASUS ZenBook S13 lightweight laptop computer for those seeking general productivity work (MS office, browsing, e-mails). I am satisfied with the features of the computer: processing speed, 13.9 Screen (It's very sharp), battery life, keyboards, hard drive memory size, HDMI connection, speakers (Harmon Kardon). The only feature I wish the laptop computer had was 1 or 2 more additional USB ports. The additional USB ports would be used for connecting an external optic drive.

The screen and the build quality is excellent except the trackpad. It is loose and rattles when touching. i could not be sure it is a problem but after a few research i saw that this is seen on cheap laptops. but this is worth 1500+ and this is a premium class. Not worth the price
