Review on ASUS ZenBook Laptop Display Platform by Kyle Ross

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This laptop ticks all the boxes, but it's the little things that matter

This PC has everything you need. 4k OLED 13" compact, Windows Ink, Windows Hello IR, NVME upgradable (I put double sided 4TB in the laptop but make sure you leave it in place when screwing it in or the screw will move the SSD out Space for the final RPM).Even the numeric keypad.Battery is good.Tiger Lake is overcharging.I got about 4-5 hours without standby.I don't know how to approach the nominal 10-20 hours?The right direction is, to increase capacity, but, but if you follow computers, Intel will probably never hit the ground running compared to ARM books, their chips are inherently too inefficient in today's world, games: don't even think about it to run a really demanding 4k game are: 1. Screen shaking - this seems to happen with every clamshell laptop I just hate sitting down to type and it stays shaky after a few keys it doesn't look like it , as if there were there a way to fix this. 2. FINGERPRINT MAGNET. This case is aluminum but has tiny grooves that I think will hold more grease on your hands. to us, fingerprints are all of that. Okay, ok, it's a touchscreen, so it takes some getting used to. But black laptops are the worst affected by these grease stains. They also don't come off easily because of the burrs. You literally have to get alcohol and a strong towel. Worst of all, when cleaning, simply moving the laptop will give you another fingerprint. The touchpad is light gray, it also has fingerprints. And yes, the screen is touch-sensitive, so yes, it's nasty. Glare is pretty bad. Yes touchscreen glass but I have to use this laptop at 100% brightness in the office otherwise the light is all over the screen. The laptop cannot remain closed in tablet mode. The screen always automatically rises from the back of the laptop. The XPS 13 2-in-1 has a magnetic mount (I heard). This one just rocks, and there's no secure mount in tablet mode. It's no good if you put it on the table and pick it up again. Overall it looks cheap. All in all, if you don't touch this laptop - it will 100% get anything you want. But in a flip book, an inventor with the great idea of using black that absorbs fingerprints was a poor choice. Perhaps a white or silver version would solve this problem. Heck, my apple space gray wasn't that bad. In addition, the manufacturers correct the wobbling - this is very annoying for every diligent person.
