Not a bad product, but you can find better.

I use a Zenbook UX331UN that is two years old as my second laptop. Generally speaking, it performs poorly when compared to the new UX325JA, however it does have a benefit in the form of discrete MX150 graphics. It was the subject of a different review, which you can read here. 8gb-512gb-ssd-dvd-net-nvidia-geforce-mx150-2gb-wi-fi-bluetooth-windows-10-home/508259139 The screen and keyboard backlight are dim. Older i5-8250U vs. new i5-1035G1: hotter processor with comparable performance. slimmer and longer charging cable. In two years, the battery's capacity has decreased by 22%. enough for a maximum of 3–4 hours of office use. The battery capacity of the new UX325JA has already decreased by 1%. Under light load, the processor's operating temperature ranges between 50 and 55 degrees. The temperature rises to 70–74 for harder tasks. When the compressor is off, it can fall to 42–43 when there is no load. Included are a fabric carrying case, a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, a USB-A to RJ45 adapter, and USB-C charging. Both of the two ports are usable, however they are side by side rather than apart. Using a laptop typewriter is enjoyable as long as you are aware that you did not purchase it. The crumpled case, problematic keyboard illumination, and an odd "yellowing" matrix are all signs that ASUS hasn't learned anything and is still selling unfinished goods. I did not purchase this laptop and do not advise buying it because it was a gift from my employer. 02 April 2022: The crush of the casing was caused by a screw that came unscrewed in the case. The left rubber foot, which is closer to the display, will be under the laptop if you turn it on its side. When I rotated it, the crunch was almost all gone but not entirely.

Pros
  • 1. A flip-up keyboard and a slim, lightweight, fashionable design. Really easy for me to carry around, which I always need. 2. A bright backlight on the monitor. narrow frames. 3. NumberPad, which combines a rapid launch button for the calculator with a touch-sensitive number keypad incorporated into the touchpad. The clickpad itself has a glass coating and is very pleasant. Great results! 4. Quiet - only seldom, particularly during demanding (for this CPU) graphic applications like basic video editing, does the cooler switch on. 5. In office task mode with Google Docs, MS Office, and occasionally Photoshop/Lightroom, battery life can reach 10 hours. 6. A comfy keyboard for extended typing. One of those I've tried from ASUS is possibly the finest right now. 7. "Will do for business calls" webcam - nothing spectacular, but not flawless seams. 8. Although it has a sturdy, dependable cable, the compact 65W charger has a drawback. See more below on that. 9. Replaced the keyboard's typeface with a human-readable, more accurate one.
Cons
  • 1. Not without jambs, as usual with ASUS. The keyboard's three-level illumination is glitchy. When you come back after leaving the laptop idle for 5–10 minutes, the backlight is not lit. The BIOS was reinstalled, but that had no effect. By depressing the button that activates the keyboard's lighting, it is treated. Ten times a day is not uncommon. Sometimes it can function normally for a few days without upsetting. 2. Occasionally, for 1-2 minutes after waking up or plugging in the power wire, the sound and lighting keys are inoperable. 3. A glitchy built-in MyASUS application that controls the screen color, charging (keep it at 60%, 80%, or 100% to extend battery life), and cooling modes. runs for 1,000,000 years. It could not turn on at all when you wake it up from sleep; you'll need to reboot or disconnect and reconnect the power line. 4. A crumpled body. You can feel it crunching in your hands. Even though the chassis is made entirely of metal, with the exception of the display frame, you can immediately hear it crunch when you pick up an open laptop. 5. My mouse is busy; there is only one USB-A. There are relatively few situations when you'll need a second one, so judge for yourself. 6. The device is USB-C only and has a 10 cm USB-C to audio jack converter. 7. Like the other Zenbooks, I would like a longer charging cord. There is a 0.5 meter gap. 8. The screen is clearly yellow. Not appropriate for any serious photo editing. Despite the fact that some would argue that the second display in the image is blue: 9. Contrary to what the maker states, the battery life is not 22 hours. Exactly 15.
