maravillosa

Amazing craftsmanship put into this laptop, but plagued by the quirks of intel 12th Gen. It will be condemned to poor battery life of around 4 hours until Intel updates their own drivers and firmware to fix the issue. Nothing wrong with laptop and ASUS chose quality components. You have to accept it’s a bit overpriced because of the niche market that would appreciate this laptop for a celebration of their history and space flight.

Right when i received it, there were several loose/wobbly keys. Normally this wouldnt be a dealer-breaker, but the backspace key started making an obnoxious squeaking noise after a few presses.

For a 14 ultrabook of any brand to have a 12th gen i9 processor and 32GB RAM, 1TB M.2, and a 2.8k OLED display is incredible. This thing is lightning fast! Cool features like number pad built into the touch pad, full aluminum case, and a fun little customizable display on the lid take it over the top. I love it! Only thing i will warn you on is the battery life. As you can imagine, you will not be powering all that up in a tiny laptop and get good battery life. 4 hours is the max youll get so if you need long life, find an i5 machine with a standard display. This one wont be good for you.

The specs are all there on paper but it just doesnt live up to its hype. The machine is slower than it should be by a country mile.

Too expensive for what you wind up with.

I purchased this laptop in January of this year. Life happened and I was unable to unbox it and get it set up until today. Imagine my surprise when it didnt power on at all. It doesnt matter if its plugged in or not. Charging it for five hours didnt help. It just wont come on.

To be honest, I am not sure if the issue is with the ASUS Zenbook or Windows 11, but I have a similar work HP with Windows 11 that does not have the issues I am experiencing.

This is a nice laptop, but for some reason it seems to have little hickups that causes delays opening certain programs. Not sure if a software or hardware issue, but it is mildly annoying considering how expensive it was.

Been very happy with this laptop, hasn’t blinked yet with anything I’ve thrown at it. I do a decent amount of photo/video editing and light gaming. No issues with battery life either as I know that’s been a common issue.
