Asus ZenBook 3 has impressed a lot of buyers with its great performance in a slim package. The device's audio speakers surprisingly deliver good audio quality.
The device was introduced earlier this year, and has become Asus' attempt to imitate the MacBook. It somewhat overpowered its competition by having great features in a slimmer package. A lot of buyers were impressed with its performance even though it has that form.
According to the official website of Asus, the latest model from Asus has a seventh-generation Kaby Lake Core i7-7500U processor. It has 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD, and it runs on Windows 10 Pro.
The Asus ZenBook 3 has four speakers for its audio. It can blast out great audio even though it is a super-thin device.
There are two front edge speakers and two speakers near the display. The positions of the speakers bolster their modest output, and do its best to resist distortion. It was surprising that it can even produce the tinny version of the bass.
For the graphics, it will be no surprise for those who want to purchase the Asus ZenBook 3. It will have an integrated 128 MB Intel HD Graphics 620, which most reviewers said that it is not something to be impressed with. However, it will be enough to run some of the popular PC video games today like "Overwatch" at an average of 30 frames per second in medium settings.
This laptop manages to keep its battery life for a long time, even though the Core i7-7500U can drain a lot of power. The battery can last over eight hours in a video rundown test.
According to another post on the official website of Asus, the dimensions of their latest laptop are 296 by 191 by 11.9 millimeters. It is that thin even if it houses all of that powerhouse hardware and a six cell battery. It also weighs 910 grams with the battery.
For extra security, the latest laptop model has a finger print reader. This prevents outsiders from maliciously using the owners' laptop.
The Asus ZenBook 3 is worth the purchase, but the high-end model is $1,600 and the entry-level version is $1,100. The laptop is not exactly a strong competitor against the MacBook, but it still has great features.
