Newest Asus Zenbook 14" IPS FHD NanoEdge Bezel Display Ultra-Slim Laptop, 4th Gen AMD Ryzen 7 4700U 8-Core, 16GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, Backlit Keyboard, NumberPad, Windows 10 Pro, Pine Gray

Overview: double USB-C 3.2, IPS screen, 4700u processor, 1TB drive, Win10 Pro make this a special ZenBook buildLooking for the best laptop for work in 2020? You found it. Let's break down why:1. Processor: AMD 4700U processor is at the top of the passmark charts. And, it barely sips power between 10-20W.2. Display: This is one of the only ASUS laptop builds with an IPS screen and it looks amazing from any angle!3. Ports: USB-C 3.2 double output is huge! I am running two 4K displays with no adapters! I bought the Phillips 27" ASIN B07WKX11JY that has USB-C dock, that is such a great combination with this laptop. Benefits include: I do not have to use the laptop charging cable! The Monitor connection to the laptop via USB-C actually charges the laptop! Also, the USB-C plugs into the monitors, and each of these has 2 USB 3.1 out! So I can plug in my mouse, keyboard, and other "traditional" USB accessories to the monitors, and they just work! I don't even need a dongle, wow. I purchased this cable: Amazon model no RAMPOW-TT02-US, a 2 meter USB-C 3.2 for my second 27" screen because the 1 meter cable that came with it is not long enough to reach the laptop.4. Drive: 1TB drive will never run out of space. SSD boot times are ridiculous. From cold start to signin screen in 3 seconds. From sleep to signin screen in less than 1 second, pretty much instant. I run disk-intensive commands like "npm install" for work, which used to consume a lot more time, now they just fly.5. Bonuses:Factory sealed box. Not a third-party upgrade. This came straight from ASUS.Extremely fast shipping, received 3 days after order.Really cool feature of touchpad, there's a toggle switch to turn it into a full size number pad.Bang and Olufsen audio is on point (for a laptop)Windows 10 pro preinstalled. wow. But be careful during your first install though. Do not choose "Windows Live Account" at first, if you care about the name of your user folder. Enter the name of your desired user folder as your name first, as a local account. Later, "convert" that account to using Windows Live, or else it will use the first 5 letters of your email address as your user folder name, which for me was not acceptable.Being a work computer, touch screen was not as important to me, as the future-proof specs of this laptop.I researched all the ASUS, Lenovo, Thinkpad, and Dell builds out there, and after a week of solid research, this is the one I landed on, and I could not be happier.

The Zenbook doesn't load windows anymore, suddenly stopped to recognize the storage, looking for warranty or return----------this was my previous review----------------Sold by Klick Online at $1029 at nov 24 2020. the model I received was the UM425IAOverall is great value for you money and is a great productCONS:it has no 3.5mm audio jack (but a Hi res audio dongle provided with the risk of losing it), only 1 conventional usbMyAsus app is buggy and sometimes loads after minutes if we are lucky, sometimes doesn't load.Occasionally (not so frequently) I hear interference while plugged the audio cable to the dongle and looking at streaming videos like youtube or coursera.I think this is a problem of avoiding that audio output standard.PRO: it's really fast, it turns on in 3-5 secondsit has win pro out of the boxAudio is by Harman/Kardon (not bang olufsen)

The weight, size, processing power, battery life, and cost for this were as close to perfect as I could ask for at around $1000 mark. Could not be more pleased still got my 16GB RAM, 1 TB Storage, and a nice 1080p screen.The metal casing and finish feel quality and not ashamed to plop on a table next to a MAC as PC's answer...Technogeek Chic

I like the laptop overall but it is not touchscreen and I thought I purchased a touchscreen so it's becoming less convenient.

Required newer Linux kernel. The touchpad works but not the 10key or other gestures, I guess they made it work with added software on windowz instead of the bios.Battery life is great. I can't give an accurate measure yet as there hasn't been a full drain and recharge cycle in normal use, at about 6 hours it's around 70%

I've been buying and building personal computers since 1982. I've seen them all. But, for my own computer, I too, am bound by a budget. My HP Pavilion laptop died, and I did not totally realize its flaws until I began using the Zenbook 14". It's the first time in over 20 years that I picked an AMD processor, and Wow, what blazing speed. I must confess, it was also the first time I bought a solid state drive in a personal computer. Another Wow!On the HP I expected a Win10 update to take from 30 minutes to 4 hours, and that was a Pentium from 2019. On the ASUS it takes LESS THAN A MINUTE.How about a REBOOT? Upwards to about 5 minutes on the HP before I could really begin work. 1-2 minutes MAXon the ASUS. I really enjoy going to work again!The startup process from opening the box was the quickest I've experienced. And, flawless.Why did I spend double on this PC? I read the specs on the RYZEN and it outdid the comparable INTEL. It was billed as a GAMER'S PC. Folks, the most gaming I do is Words for Friends. I wanted a Thoroughbred!!Oh, did I mentioned it came with 16GB ram? And 1TB solid state ever-so-fast drive?To be candid, when I started out decades ago it was the ASUS motherboard that went into the PC's I built. So, my confidence in them was high to begin with, but it turns out they outdid themselves.Would I recommend them? Sure 'nuff!

This laptop seemed like a fantastic deal for the specs, but the hard drive failed completely two months after I received the unit, and the wireless card never worked properly. The wireless took a long time to connect, and the connection was unreliable and got dropped frequently. There were BIOS problems as well.This laptop was a horrible waste of money. Beware.

Excellent performance. Battery life Is amazing, over 4 hours of heavy usage, 8+ with light browsing.Good looking laptop.Cost 30% less than an Intel, you get better battery life and more sdd space.

el microfono no sirve y las bocinas se escuchan terribles, no recomiendo el producto
