the Asus Zenbook 3 is a top-notch Windows alternative to the 12-inch MacBook but the new larger deluxe version feels more like a macbook pro the Asus Zenbook 3 deluxe is one of the thinnest 14-inch laptops you can buy it fits a 14 inch screen into a roughly 13 inch body and has very thin bezels so it's a better screen to body ratio it's also incredibly beautiful its deep blue aluminum brushed lid similar to Zen books of the past looks high-end and chic it's mesmerizing circular pattern combined with its slim dimensions makes it one of the most beautiful laptops around thanks to its seventh gen Intel Core i7 processor it's an excellent performer it handles most tasks without batting an eyelash one of the downsides about the laptop is its short battery life in our battery testing it averaged 7 hours and 29 minutes which is fine but lacks in comparison to the LG grabs 11 hours and 30 minutes and the Apple MacBooks 10 hours and 26 minutes I mean it's good enough to last a day of typing on Word documents and web browsing just make sure to keep the charger handy thankfully it charges fast via USB C and true to form even as charger is compact and super portable asus also shifts the laptop with hdmi USB a adapters since the only port available on the laptop is USB see it has three USB C ports one on the left and two on the right which double as Thunderbolt 3 the Asus Zenbook 3 deluxe is an impressively designed macbook alternative but other laptops are moving the ball forward more in terms of features and battery life so this ends up feeling expensive for what you get even if it is awfully pretty
