Dreadful the worst laptop – very disappointed, slow crazy to type with , I wish i never listened to the guy pushing this product at JBHI, I should have asked more questions. I only purchased this in January and its never been a great. I called JBHI wanting to take it back after a week,and was told I was not able too. its the speed of things with this and the slowness of it.… Read more

I can type and then seconds later the words appear .. its not fun and for the key board YUK. Battery life dreadful too and always running out. and its very hot to handle am worried on aircraft that it will catch on fire....

BUY SOMETHING ELSE – I am not impressed. Mine is about eighteen months old. Nothing but trouble and now $375 to fix problems and replace the battery. The warranty hardly covers anything that goes wrong with these machines. Show details

This laptop really delivers – We received our ASUS Zenbook today and it lives up to our expectations. We had some requirements (this laptop will be used outside of the home, with no access to power to charge it during the day), this is how we picked it and it did not disappoint : Lightweight 1.13 KG Screen of 14 inch - a great compromise for portability Large touchpad - which… Read more

has a built in calculator (see photos) which you can activate, not sure whether we will use it Battery life says over 20 hours ! Hard to beat. We are yet to test it Boots in the blink of an eye We picked the 512 GB hard drive and 16 GB RAM Connectivity is also good. They have kept an USB A (and there are also 2 USB C) which is great to still be able to use all of our thumb drives. They have removed the jack audio 3.5 however were smart enough to include a converter in the box, so you can use that one too. It also has an intel i7 processor, and some fun features like face recognition to unlock First impression is very good, it's a sleek looking machine, I forgot to mention the screen is mat and really easy on our eyes. Very happy with our purchase. By leaving this review, we will receive a headset or gift card from ASUS as part of a current promotion, however this is our honest review.

Amazing Value! – I've been researching for quite sometime to buy a new ultrabook, had a sony 13' for 7 years, couldn't find a suitable replacement... the zenbook wasthe perfect price and weight, really thin and light, exactly what a ultrabook needs to be without costing like a XPS or Air, but delivering the same performance and even better! I'm really happy!  Show details

Super thin and light 14' laptop – I needed a new and highly portable (~1kg) laptop for work. This is exactly the one. It runs relatively quiet, even when my kid plays some graphic intensive games. The mouse pad can easily switch to number pad mode, which is handy when working with numbers. A not so good thing is the lack of old-school 3.5mm headphone jack, but the included adapter usb-c to headphone jack can do the trick.  Show details

Just what I needed – Needed a new personal laptop mainly for browsing, emails and streaming. This is perfect so far and battery life has been great. I love how sleek it is and the lilac colour is subtle but nice. It's quite light so its easy to move around with it. The fan can sometimes get a little loud for me but it's not really much of an issue. Show details

great allround laptop – I picked this laptop due to the specs and the compact size. It seems to be very well made and have a good selection of ports (2 x thunderbolt ports). My only concerns so far is that I dont think the ram is upgradable. Overall a good value allround laptop in terms of size, performance, battery life.  Show details

Good value for money – We were looking for a laptop for my son who is starting high school. We considerer different brands and models and after testing them in the shops and researching online we decided on the ASUS ZenBook UX425JA due to following reasons: * Lightweight * Long battery life as it must last at least a day in class * Clear and bright screen * Fast to… Read more

boot and good processing power * Premium materials and solid feeling (compared to plastic some other brands use in similar models) * Solid feel Keyboard and trackpad/numberpad * MIL-STD-810G U.S. military standard for reliability and durability (hopefully we will not need it but just in case it drops etc.) * Reasonably priced

The only downside I can think of is that the shiny outside (we have the pine grey model) is a fingerprint magnet and my son is busy cleaning it all the time :)

powerful but budget friendly laptop – Lightweight and simple laptop with a more-than-satisfying specs for the things I need to do (mainly typing, browsing, watching videos, emails). Not only that, but it is very economical in terms of price. the design looks really sleek and strong enough outer casing to withstand my kids' rough handling.

(awesome feature) - big screen but small compact laptop.

I like the Touch/number pad and fast face login features.

Slim & light workhouse beauty – Just got this laptop for my son's BYOD school program and it has ticked all the specs that was prescribed by the school. Pros: - Solid metal body build, that's light, sleek with a premium look - Windows 10 PRO - Decent spec & FHD IPS screen for the price Cons: - Body is fingerprint magnet - Soldered on 8GB memory limits upgradability … Read more

Overall looks impressive, only time will tell in regards to the battery life and durability, but given the Asus brand hopefully that shouldn't be a problem!

Good fast laptop for WFH – Purchased this laptop to do WFH. It's met all my expectations, its very light, great on power, and is similar in size to a 13.3" laptop but with a 14" screen. The lid does seem to pick up fingerprints very easily. I really like the number pad option, its not as good as a USB numberpad, but fantastic in a pinch. Show details

Been looking around the shops trying to find a decent laptop that is light weight, decent power for his needs and not too costly.

Dell laptops. When this ASUS laptop arrived a couple days later, I was surprised how light and solidly built this laptop was. For such light weight, I expected to be feel a bit like plastic, but it was very well built in a metal body.

It boot up very quickly, and have very good performance for everyday office/browsing tasks. I am very happy I bought this laptop. I am now thinking maybe I should keep this laptop for myself, and hand my old one to my kid's for his school BYOD. :)
