So far, this is my choice for an alternative to the MacBook Air.
There’s always the worry that a thin device means a flimsier build. While the Zenbook doesn’t quite have the build quality of the MacBook Air , it’s sturdy enough. I brought it on a cross-country trip, and it survived all manner of bumps and jostles without a scratch — certainly better than many more expensive devices would have fared.
In particular, the lid is solid. It’s made of what Asus calls “plasma ceramic aluminum,” it’s got an attractive artistic design, and the texture feels quite nice, certainly a step up from the rest of the chassis. One neat thing is that each lid has an individually unique look due to the way that Asus uses “temperature and electricity” to fine-tune the devices. I can’t tell you how much of a difference that actually makes — I’ve only got a sample of one to look at — but it’s a fun little factoid.
My one big note on the chassis itself is that the pads on the bottom of the Zenbook aren’t particularly effective. The device was slipping and sliding on my table and aThere are two color options: “Basalt Gray” and “Ponder Blue.”The 2880 x 1800 OLED display doesn’t disappoint. Colors popped, brightness was aplenty, and the 16:10 panel left plenty of room for browsing and scrolling.
Glare was much less of a problem in my somewhat dimly lit apartment, where I could keep brightness at 30 to 40 percent without seeing any. I do miss the high refresh rate OLED panels that you can get on some Asus devices in this category, but it’s still a great viewing experience overall.Then, we get to the port selection, which has managed to remain fairly robust despite the downsizing. You get an HDMI 2.1, two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 , a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, and a headphone jack.
The video calling experience comes with some fancy new features, including two-way AI noise cancellation and various webcam effects including lighting optimization, background blurring, and the infamous eye tracking feature. Audio is a bit of a weak point — the thin chassis doesn’t leave a lot of room for bass, and you’ll miss it in many songs if you’re not actively listening for it.I love Asus keyboards, and this one doesn’t disappoint.
