you really get amazing quality for what you pay, with the SSD rather than a hard disk drive, good spacing and pressure for the keyboard, great looking screen both indoors and outdoors, the gen 7 Intel core i5 processor works marvelous and has very high function speeds, and the 8 gig ram is plenty for most things

For background, I use the computer probably 10 hours/day to do engineering work (making figures, writing documents, MATLAB, etc).Pros:- Nice screen

The screen is bright and clear, the sound is rich and full, very impressive for a laptop.

I like the 13.3 inch screen although I have been accustomed to the 17 inch screen for years

Within months the hinge became very loose making it difficult to keep the screen up in one position, then the pieces around the screen started to separate, and now (14 months after I bought it) it appears to have completely died - black screen, no fan noise, nothing.

Battery life is 9 hours of everyday use, the screen is bright and clear and the 256gb ssd is a reasonable size

Asus' website advertises different screens/brightness levels, including a reader-friendly screen

Screen is nice and bright with matte finish which I love.

Screen is bright and has wonderful viewing angles

The screen seems vibrant, has wide viewing angles and gets pretty bright

This is the best laptop for the money if you're looking for a Windows 10 laptop with a great screen and long-term specs (i5, 8gb ram, 256gb, hd screen)The main competitor is the Dell XPS but same specs are $200-300 more

Blurry screen

The keyboard backlight automatically goes on, even when you turn it off it will turn on again if the screen goes dark....

Very fast bootup though, good construction, fingerprint sensor worked fairly well, fan is almost silent 90% of the time, screen is pretty dull but very thin and light

The screen is dim, and the keyboard makes your hands hurt

The screen is very bright actually and you realize this when you turn off the auto light sensor (

The screen (FHD) is gorgeous

Yes, the screen is really nice, and it's light, and sharp, and has all the aesthetics you'd want in a new laptop

There is also the ambient light sensor that is on by default that tends to dim the screen

Within the first 6 months, the laptop would periodically crash and blue screen while booting Windows 10

Screen is sometimes not bright enough (rarely an issue).Screen only opens to about 110 degrees (also rarely an issue).Wasn't easy to get a second charger when I bought the computer...very surprised it wasn't available on Amazon from Asus

Dim screen

The battery saving settings that were factory set made the screen very dim even at max brightness, almost made me think the screen was defective but the problem was fixed by going into the power settings and turning off "adaptive brightness".The edge of the screen is can be pushed down with the slightest pressure, allowing it to dip below the bezel/lip of the screen frame

Yes, the screen will wobble slightly if you bump it

light weight; great screen, touch on keys is just like my external keyboards.

Terrible screen bleed on bottom and left side of screen.

Great screen, battery, and so thin and light

Beautiful, crisp monitor/screen.

You may like the design and finger sensor but the screen is really disappointing so is the fan noise which starts without even giving any task.

goodness!- one star for a trouble-free GNU/Linux install- one star for a great screen with good

Graphics are good and screen is matte, which I like

The laptop is excellent, very light, fast and the screen looks great, the touchpad is good, also the fingerprint works pretty fine

I was looking for a decently powerful laptop with a sturdy metal construction, backlit keys, good battery life and a decent screen

great screen size, not small at all, and not too big

Nice mate screen

Big screen, very clear, and audio is pretty good for a thin laptop.

Big screen, very clear, and audio is pretty good for a thin laptop.

The screen Is matte, not glossy, which helps to deflect any glare you might normally have

In all this is well made, has great battery life and has a good screen

The laptop is pretty incredible, very fast, brilliant screen, backlit keyboard, up to 12hr battery life, huge 256gb SSD and as some people have commented on a finicky

The system is fast, it has adjustable screen and keyboard brightness, and so much more

It has a decent screen with good viewing angles, a superb battery life, and enough cache/ram to keep from feeling sluggish under

Screen flickers while using facebook

Then when I got it, the screen was blurry when using apps like Google Chrome and Microsoft Word.

If anyone thinks the screen is dim make sure you hold the fn key down and press the letter A. This will make the screen alot brighter and turns off ambient light sensors.

Super lightweight and has a beautiful screen

The FHD screen is vibrant despite reviews commenting that other ultrabooks had 50 more nits of brightness.

Regarding some of the issues other reviewers have brought up: 1) the trackpad works okay for me; when I am home I use a usb mouse, but on the road the trackpad is fine - no worse than others i have had; 2) the screen seemed a little dim, but when I turned off the ambient light sensor (a tip from another reviewer) it brightened right up; use the fn-A key combination to do that; 3) speakers are adequate for listening to quiet music in a hotel room

Light, thin, good screen, comfortable keyboard and good battery life.

I mean this model has a very, very good screen

The screen is great, they keyboard is as good as you seem to get on these thin laptops, the laptop doesn't make any noise, it doesn't get hot

Screen looks great as expected

It is much faster and the screen does not have a glare (my last computer did) which is great because I spend most of my time in a building with lots of windows

Screen wobbles quite a bit if you bump it.

Screen is great too - doesnt burn your eyes like the MacBook retina displays do, rather, this screen is soft to look at and shows colors vibrantly

Screen keeps flickering when the mouse arrow goes over URL's in webpages when using Google Chrome.2

Lightweight, fast, good screen and keyboard, excellent back-lit keyboard

The screen is very bright and has a nice display

To my surprise, there is a key sequence that will display the ambient light sensor and, boy, can this screen get bright

, the screen looks great, and it boots very fast

The screen is IPS and looks fantastic, very little light bleed (the spectre x360 has a better display IMO, but is also more expensive).

About half way through set up, the screen when dark.

The screen is not very bright, even at full brightness.

the screen is not amazing the screen does not bend back very far

It is great laptop .Beautiful screen , bright but not the brightest out there ,The laptop generally stays cool and if you are reading or typing the laprop stays cool and the battery last forever almost 17 hr while dimming the screen a bit

Otherwise the speakers are pretty decent, screen is nice for this price, and keyboard gets the job done

The slightly smaller screen on this Asus is not a problem; the much smaller size (narrower width) means this fits in smaller carry-on bags.

If you want your screen to be super bright just click on fn and

The screen is nice

The screen is good with 1080p and the keyboard good for type documents because it feels smooth to type

The Zenbook has proven to e a perfect companion on my recent travels - Light weight, long battery and great screen has made my work life a lot easier on the go!

The screen is very dim and colors aren't accurate because of the matte finish

Keyboard is satisfying to type on, can do a double screen well enough, fits all my needs.

Fast, nice screen and plenty of battery.

the screen is very bright

is 97% of a MacBook Pro's- Screen is better than a MacBook

The screen did not work.

The only two things I don't like about it is that you can't put the screen at too far of an angle, and the minor lag when doing menial tasks.

So now the screen is nice and bright

But the screen wobbles

Has autobrightness(keyboard lights up when it's dark as well), precision touchpad with functionality for up to 4 fingers and is very spacious, the touch-id is really responsive, fan doesn't makes loud noise and nice place to put the fan, super thin, has a decent weight(but is very light), nice screen brightness, fast startup(mine is 3-6 seconds), nice audio, and fast charging time and long lasting battery life.

The screen doesn't get very bright
