NEW ASUS ZenBook S Ultra Slim Laptop

You get a lot for your money but it's also a lot of money. The first thing that stands out is just how solid it feels, the build quality is excellent, no flex, no creaks and nothing stands out as potential week points. The screen is bright, sharp and vibrant. The aspect ratio makes for a surprising and plesent experience both browsing and working with word, Excel etc. If you're a photographer get ready to wear a cheesy grin for days. Keyboard and trackpad are fine, not unpleasant but also not outstanding and I've yet to find a proper use for the number pad feature. Speakers are great as long as you have some sort of surface to bounce the sound off but a bit muffled and quieter working on your lap. Internals zip along quite nicely but are slightly let down by the HD, it can stutter a bit when you push things a bit. Gaming is a bit hit or miss, some work better than others even though they require the same minimum specs. It took a lot of effort to click that 'buy' button and it was at the very top of my budget (plus a little extra the wife didn't know I had stashed) but I'm not disappointed. It does everything I need it to do, and then some, in a size and weight that doesn't make feel like I'm doing a workout like my last laptop.
