Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490UA

 

Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490UA review: 14-inch Ultrabook is powerful but flawed

Stunning thin and light design ; Good screen ; Fast performance

Distracting fan ; So-so touchpad ; Terrible webcam ; Very expensive

A desirable, but flawed Ultrabook.

Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490UA review

 

Svelte but packed full of power, the latest ZenBook offers up performance that's almost too good

Top-quality materials and design ; Strong core performance ; Vibrant screen

Can run hot when pushed ; Unexciting battery life ; Pricey

A wonderfully-thin and stylish laptop that packs a serious punch in the performance stakes. Runs a bit too hot if you really push it, though.

Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe review

 

Bigger and better in nearly every way

14-inch screen in 13-inch frame ; Still awfully light ; Two Thunderbolt 3 ports ; Fingerprint sensor

No configuration options ; Mighty pricey for an FHD screen

Asus has developed an impressive improvement upon the existing ZenBook 3 in the ZenBook 3 Deluxe, boosting its screen size considerably, with negligible increases in weight and thickness. However, we’d love to see a sharper screen for the price.

Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490UA review

 

If laptops could be twins, the Asus ZenBook 3 and Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe would be nearly identical, although the latter would be the smarter of the two.

The Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe is very slim and stylish. It fits a 14-inch screen into a compact body and includes a fingerprint reader. Performance is excellent.

Battery life is short. Ports are limited. There’s only a standard HD screen option.

Asus slips a big screen into the thin body of the ZenBook 3 Deluxe, but the battery isn’t as upscale as the design.

Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe (UX490U) laptop review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe is the lightest 14-inch laptop we've ever tested. But has Asus made too many sacrifices in trimming down this laptop, or is it the perfect travel companion? Find out the results of our in-depth lab test in our full review.

Asus ZenBook 3 UX490 review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Asus Zenbook 3 UX490 could never be accused of being a cheap laptop, costing around the same as a MacBook. With a seventh generation Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of Ram, we'd expect it to be pretty powerful, but how does it compare to other...

Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe UX490 (w/ i7-8550U) Review

 

The Asus Zenbook 3 Deluxe is a tiny notebook that makes big claims. Asus says that it's the world's Got a spare £1400 for a thin and light notebook? The Zenbook 3 Deluxe could be worth a look

Stunning, solid design

Not enough power for high-end tools

The latest Asus Zenbook deploys an updated Intel processor to make big gains in performance, and it serves up high quality when it comes to design, ergonomics and screen quality. It doesn’t quite have the power for every computing task as Asus claims,...

Today we take a look at the Asus Zenbook 3 laptop that boasts a 12.5 Its small, pretty and many say it is the Macbook Killer, how does it hold up in our tests?

Lightweight.

It is fingerprint city.

The ASUS Zenbook 3 is a formidable little ultra portable which gives the Apple Macbook a run for its money. We are disappointed that ASUS don’t bundle a docking system with the more expensive Core i7 version (but they do with the Core i5 version!), so...

Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe (late 2017) review

 

Stylish design ; Light for its size ; Excellent display ; Solid and improved performance

Screen is only 1080p ; You pay for what you get

The Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe benefits from its CPU refresh, gaining some extra power and a bit of extra battery life. It retains all of its strengths, including a refreshingly elegant aesthetic and some impressive build quality. It remains one of the best...
