Asus Zenbook

Was looking at Zenbooks. They look pretty good, wondering if anyone here has any advice/critiques.

Biggest thing for me if the screen and battery life.

I don't have a "Zenbook", but my ASUS laptop is basically the same as a Zenbook except slightly fatter?? maybe? It's the KU501U and I've honestly had no issues with it at all and it's as light as a feather compared to my much older "business laptop".

I would imagine the zenbook would be just as good. Not sure how long it'll last tho as I only used mine for about a year daily and then my work buy us all Dell xps laptops so I barely use my asus anymore desu.

They include a sleeve for a reason: aluminum bends. my old magnesium alloy asus still smooth as baby skin but my ux310 already has tiny bents
And read the specs carefully, some of zenbooks use TN panel instead of IPS

Posting from my ux303lb,
People saying these things have hinge issues is definitely true. I do editing and rendering on this and the heat causes the plastic in the hinge to bend and mine has cracked on one side.
Also an aluminum touchpad feels bad on your fingertip after using it for so long and if the power plug isn't grounded correctly when plugged in you can feel electricity on the back of the screen or where your palms rest from the keyboard.
If you get the high res screen, the glass is GLOSSY so i hope you like checking yourself out in your own screen. I'm planning on replacing mine in maybe a year.

K501UX here, the painted aluminum scratches to just about everything and it shows very well. Was unboxing the thing and one of the prongs on the charging cable glanced the lid. Shiny fucking scratch there.

Performance is solid but dual fans are LOUD. the machine looks nice I guess.

K series is always a good pick if you don't mind lugging around a few extra.

Zenbooks are a tad bit overpriced for what they bring to the table.

Some zenbooks pack the shitty 768p TN panels

Wow these things really sound like massive pieces of shit.

Looking at getting the deluxe with the 8th gen Intel processor
Is it worth it?

Damn the hinge issue sounds bad. I'm not too concerned about scratches but if it dents easy that sucks.

Trying to find a decently budgeted laptop with good screen and battery is a hassle.
