Worst computer ever!!!!

Computer arrived at 8pm on Thursday. It immediately began crashing to the blue screen. Called Adorama… they sent me to ASUS. First conversation was not helpful. Walked me through a few steps and then wished me luck. Next day, called again. Brad was much better. Computer continually crashed. It is being returned. Adorama so far is doing a good job with the return. NO arguments or anything. Works worse than the computer I'm replacing!!!! It is Crap

Great Recommendation/Great Customer Service

I was considering multiple ultralight Windows-based laptops for work use when traveling out of the office or working remotely. The customer service rep, Daniel G. in the Manhattan store, could not have been more helpful in narrowing down my absolute "must-haves" as well as providing important information related to the reliability of various manufacturers, their customer service, and which laptop, based on specs and cost, would best suit my needs and preferences. I ended up choosing the Asus Zenbook and could not be happier with the purchase. It exceeds my expectations - size and weight are perfect for travel while also providing a solid laptop feel when working remotely from my home base. The keyboard is terrific and easy to type on and the processor is lightning fast. I've had no issues with overheating as mentioned in other online reviews. After setting up the laptop (which also came with the necessary USB-C and HDMI dongles as well as a terrific padded case), I easily downloaded software I needed (Antivirus/Antimalware, MS Office, and a PDF editing level program). The touch screen is responsive and the clarity of the UHD screen is amazing. Battery life is excellent and I've had no issues with the connection of any peripherals by Bluetooth. The only suggestion I would have would be for Asus to move to a full screen (no bezel) due to the size of the screen (13.3) to add another 0.7" of available screen. All in all, this ultralight laptop is just what I was looking for.

Angled for creative power
Slim. Stunning. Supreme. ZenBook S is all these, yet so much more. Its elegant sophistication will touch your heart and enhance your prestige, wherever you use it. Its effortless portability, powerful performance and no-compromise connectivity let you get things done without fuss, without drama. And its stunningly innovative design - incorporating our unique ErgoLift hinge - not only sets you apart from the crowd, but lets you work in supreme comfort too. ZenBook S: it's the laptop you deserve.

Thin and Light: Seriously portable
As a seasoned traveler, you'll appreciate the way ZenBook S slips effortlessly into your bag, with its svelte profile taking up the bare minimum of space and adding hardly any weight. Less bothersome bulk.

S is for slim
There's not a gram of material in ZenBook S that doesn't need to be there: the compact NanoEdge display and premium materials allowed us to reduce every dimension and weight to the minimum, making it thinner and lighter than its rivals for effortless portability. And - in our humble opinion - it's infinitely more beautiful, too!

Hinge: Designed for ultimate comfort
With any ZenBook, your comfort is one of our top priorities, ZenBook S goes the extra mile with its exclusive ErgoLift hinge, an engineering masterpiece designed to automatically tilt the keyboard to the most comfortable typing position. But that's not all: the carefully calculated tilt improves cooling and audio performance, too.

• Improved typing position
• Optimized cooling system
• Enhanced audio performance

More comfortable typing
A slight positive tilt on your keyboard helps reduce discomfort during long typing stints, something that's not usually taken into account in laptop design. The innovative ErgoLift hinge on ZenBook S changes all that: it automatically adds a 5.5 deg. tilt to the keyboard when you open the laptop for a comfortable, more desktop-like experience. With a maximum opening angle of 145 deg, it opens wider than most laptops too, so you have more freedom to choose the best screen angle. And when you close ZenBook S the ErgoLift mechanism is completely hidden, so it doesn't affect the sleek profile.

More efficient cooling
When the ErgoLift hinge mechanism tilts the keyboard, it also creates an important extra ventilation space that allows more airflow around the underside of the chassis. With this improved ventilation, ZenBook S keeps its cool even when you're pushing through to meet those tough deadlines.

More immersive audio
The extra space underneath ZenBook S created by the ErgoLift hinge has yet another benefit: it allows the powerful speakers to work at their best, delivering clearer sound with improved bass response.

Design: The art of perfection
Elegance, sophistication and precision craftsmanship are the hallmarks of every ZenBook. The prestigious Deep Dive Blue and Rose Gold color scheme we chose for ZenBook S is luxuriously stylish without being brash and for a discreetly indulgent finishing touch, we've added a gold keyboard backlight and lid logo. ZenBook S doesn't just steal the show - it owns it.

• 40- step Spun-metal finish
• 2-phase Anodized highlights
• Unibody All-metal construction
• Rose Gold Diamond-cut edges

Deep Dive Blue
Inspired by the magical moment at dawn when the golden rays of the sun first illuminate the ink-blue sky, the luscious Deep Dive Blue finish has contrasting diamond-cut Rose Gold highlights around the edges. This perfect match of hues gives ZenBook S a sublime, understated beauty.

The latest Intel Core i7 processor
Despite its incredibly slim profile, ZenBook S packs a real punch. It's crammed with an array of high-performance components, including the very latest Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM, which help it to easily outperform its rivals in benchmark tests.

Less wait, more work
A high-performance solid-state disk (SSD) with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface gives ZenBook S the fastest storage available - more than twice as fast as the SSD in an Apple MacBook. With an SSD-equipped ZenBook S, you'll never be kept waiting for the operating system to boot or for applications to load. And with no moving parts, the SSD is also incredibly reliable and quiet.

Fastest memory, best multitasking
In the search for ultimate performance, our engineers chose the world's fastest RAM for ZenBook S - LPDDR3, clocked at an amazing 2133MHz. Despite its speed, LPDDR3 uses very little power, helping to keep ZenBook S running for longer. And with up to 16GB RAM, your ZenBook S handles multiple demanding tasks without skipping a beat.

Display: A vision of beauty
A laptop as beautiful as ZenBook S deserves equally beautiful visuals, so we've fitted it with an ultra-high-definition NanoEdge display with lifelike colors and detail that will take your breath away. We've also reduced the bezel width even further, to give you an even more immersive view while keeping ZenBook S amazingly compact. Ultraportable computing has never looked so good.

• 3840X2160: Up to 3840x2160 4K UHD
• Up to 331ppi pixel density
• 00% sRGB
• 72% NTSC
• 5.9mm NanoEdge display bezel

NanoEdge display
Our amazing NanoEdge display technology just keeps evolving and in ZenBook S we've made the already-slim bezel even slimmer to give you more display in the smallest space possible. With a higher screen-to-body ratio, there's less distracting bezel for more immersive visuals.

Immersive 4K UHD display With 331 pixels per inch, everything on the NanoEdge display is pin-sharp: from the finest details in photos and videos, to the tiniest text fonts. It's a dream come true for anyone who needs the ultimate visual performance.

A creative touch
With its super-accurate touch control, ZenBook S is simply amazing for capturing your inspiration. Enjoy effortless creativity with the combination of Windows Ink and the optional ASUS Pen, enhanced by the ErgoLift hinge that opens up to 145 deg. to allow more comfortable touch interaction than standard laptops.

Battery: Work longer, charge faster
ZenBook S uses a high-capacity battery that won't let you down, however long and demanding your working day is. And its fast-charge technology lets you recharge ZenBook S up to 60% capacity in as little as 49 minutes, so you can be up and running quicker than ever.

• Up to 13.5 hours battery life
• 60% Fast charging in 49 mins
• 50Wh Battery capacity

Thermal: Evolved cooling
For maximum performance, heat needs to be removed as quickly as possible. ZenBook S uses an uprated cooling system incorporating state-of-the-art components, such as a liquid-crystal-polymer fan impeller that's just 0.3mm thick and a copper-alloy heat pipe with 0.1mm-thin walls. An all-new fan housing design with improved airflow gently expels warm air from the interior via hidden vents in the hinge, for efficient, serenely quiet cooling even under full load.

• Up to 5 deg. cooler than previous generation
• 0.3mm Thin fan impeller
• 13.4% More air flow

Your choice of cooling mode
The new Quiet Fan app lets you choose the ideal cooling mode for the task at hand, with balanced and high performance modes. With Quiet Fan enabled, you get balanced performance and a standard fan speed for near-silent computing. Disabling Quiet Fan results in a higher fan speed for those times when you need maximum performance.

Connectivity: Connect fast, connect anywhere
When you're on the go, no-compromise connectivity is essential. ZenBook S delivers the ultimate speed of Thunderbolt 3 in two of its three USB-C ports and all three ports support fast charging, data transfers and display connectivity. And for desktop-grade connectivity, simply connect the handy ASUS Mini Dock (not included).

Audio: Immersive Harmon Kardon audio
To give ZenBook S unsurpassed audio capabilities, the ASUS Golden Ear team cooperated with audio specialists Harman Kardon to produce the next generation of ASUS SonicMaster Premium audio technology. The results are astonishing. ZenBook S has two high-quality stereo speakers and surround-sound effects that envelop you with cinema-quality audio. A special smart amplifier ensures maximum volume with minimum distortion for powerful, clear sound. Once you've tried it, we think you'll agree that ZenBook S delivers the most incredible sound you've ever heard on an ultraportable laptop.

One-touch access with Windows Hello
Accessing your ZenBook S couldn't be easier or more secure, thanks to Windows Hello technology and the fingerprint sensor built into the touchpad. Now there's no need to type in your password every time to log in - a single touch is all it takes!

ASUS Laptop Quality Tests: Ultratough: military-grade durability
ZenBook S meets the ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810G military standard for reliability and durability, undergoing a punishing test regime that includes extended tests for operation in harsh environments including extreme altitudes, temperatures and humidity. It has also passed ASUS internal laptop tests that far exceed the standards set by the industry.

• Altitude Test
• High Temperature Test
