使用华硕 ZenBook 3 UX390(ASUS ZenBook 3) 超极本(UX390 ultrabook)
华硕 ZenBook 3 UX390(ASUS ZenBook 3) 的(UX390)最大优点在于它的小、薄和轻。携带它是一种乐趣，附带的小袋看起来很时尚，同时也非常有用。而且性能非常稳定：英特尔酷睿 i7 7500U(Intel Core i7 7500U)处理器，再加上 16GB 的RAM 内存(RAM memory)和非常快的SSD 驱动器(SSD drive)，将在除游戏或视频编辑(gaming or video editing)之外的所有使用情况下提供您所需的冲击力。运行各种商务应用(business apps)、浏览网页、听音乐或观看(music or watching) 高清视频(HD videos)，您都不会遇到任何问题。您还可以从Windows 应用商店运行休闲游戏(Windows Store)但是您应该远离具有高级 3D 图形的游戏。
Zenbook UX390U 配备(Zenbook UX390U)12.5 英寸显示屏，分辨率为 1920x1080 像素，顶部配备IPS 面板和 Gorilla Glass(IPS panel and Gorilla Glass) 4。该显示屏在室内和商业环境中使用时非常出色，这是大多数客户使用的方式。但是，如果您把它带到户外，你不会享受很好的能见度。此外，它不是触摸屏，这对某些人来说可能是个问题。我们是Windows中触摸的忠实粉丝，我们错过了使用这种类型的输入。
经过一段时间的住宿，在华硕 ZenBook 3 UX390(ASUS ZenBook 3) 上(UX390)打字是一种愉快的体验。您在输入大型文档时不会遇到问题，您的手也不会轻易感到疲倦。背光在光线不足的环境中非常有用，许多用户都会喜欢它。但是，对于键盘右上角的Delete键附近的Shut Down按钮的位置，我确实有一点小小的抱怨。我最终多次按下此按钮而不是Delete键。
好处是当你按下这个按钮而不是Delete(Delete)时，你不会轻易关闭你的超极本。这是因为华硕(ASUS)将此按钮编程为记录长按，而不是像您在打字时执行的那样短而快速的按键，这很棒。触控板也易于使用且精确。一个很酷的功能是它还可以充当触摸板，以便您可以在上面书写，并让华硕触摸板手写(ASUS Touchpad Handwriting)驱动程序识别您的笔迹，以便您可以将其插入文档中。
触控板的唯一缺点是它的右上角还包括指纹读取器。(fingerprint reader)有时，当您要将光标移动到屏幕的右上角时，您会碰到指纹读取器，这很不方便。(fingerprint reader)说到指纹识别器(fingerprinter reader)- 它在注册和识别您的指纹方面做得很好，您可以将它与Windows Hello结合使用以快速登录您的计算机。
对于超极本来说，扬声器的质量非常好。声音响亮而清晰，非常适合那些对笔记本电脑和超极本的一般音质(sound quality)不满意的人。但是，在最大音量下，它可能会变得太大声并且有点失真，因此您可能想要降低音量而不是将其保持在 100%。总的来说，在看电影或听音乐时，您一定会喜欢华硕 ZenBook 3 UX390(ASUS ZenBook 3) 上的扬声器。(UX390)
这款超极本产生的热量在同类设备的正常范围内。冷却系统运行(cooling system)良好，即使华硕 ZenBook 3 UX390(ASUS ZenBook 3) 处于(UX390)最大负载下，处理器也平均冷却到 154华氏度(Fahrenheit)或 68摄氏度(Celsius)。在外面，你感觉到的热量比处理器少得多。不过，在最大负载下，华硕 ZenBook 3 UX390(ASUS ZenBook 3) 的(UX390)右上角可以加热到 113-122华氏度(Fahrenheit)或 45-50摄氏度(Celsius)。这是您插入电源线(power cable)和放置处理器的区域。
华硕 ZenBook 3 UX390(ASUS ZenBook 3) 上(UX390)的网络摄像头质量非常低，这对于高端设备来说非常令人失望。您可以将其用于视频会议(video conferencing)，但在最大分辨率为 640x480 像素和每秒 30 帧的情况下，您不会被看得很清楚。幸运的是，音质(sound quality)很好，因此您可以在电话会议中很好地听到自己的声音。
总的来说，我对使用华硕 ZenBook 3 UX390(ASUS ZenBook 3) 超极本(UX390 ultrabook)感到非常满意，但有一个重要的例外：它没有端口。虽然USB Type C显然是未来，但至少没有一个可用的USB 3.0端口是一种痛苦。您必须始终随身携带 USB-C 迷你扩展坞，这很麻烦。此外，对于这款优雅美观的设备来说，USB-C 迷你底座实在是太丑了。此外，它不是很便携。有时，您必须使用USB 记忆(USB memory)棒，或者您必须将超极本连接到不支持Miracast的投影仪，因此您必须使用HDMI。
商业用户的另一个常见情况是他们必须在旅行时工作：他们连接公司电信提供商的(telecom provider)USB 调制解调器(USB modem)，连接到互联网和公司的VPN。大多数时候，在旅行时，他们会在膝上使用超极本，而 USB-C 迷你坞站使用这种方式会让人不舒服。您必须有一张桌子才能舒适地使用它。可惜为了极致的轻薄而牺牲了连接性。最后，如果它足够厚以至少包含一个USB 端口(USB port)，它会使这款超极本的便携性降低。
说到自主性，事情并没有你想象的那么好：最终，出色的性能总是会降低你获得的电池寿命。(battery life)华硕(ASUS)承诺长达 9 小时的自主权。然而，在我们的测试中，我们获得了 4 到 6 个小时之间的时间，具体取决于我们使用它的方式。幸运的是，快速充电可以很好地发挥作用，只需几分钟充电即可为电池提供一些电量。如果您对更长的自主权感兴趣，那么配备英特尔酷睿 i5 7200U(Intel Core i5 7200U)处理器的型号将为您提供最佳服务，该处理器功耗更低。

Reviewing the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 - The thinnest ultrabook from ASUS
ZenBook UX390 is one of the most popular ultrabooks that were recentlу launched by ASUЅ. Many have shared their opinion about this device: some loved it, some said that it follows Apple's approach with the new MaсBoоk, while others had negatiνe reviews about it. We were νery curious to test it for ourselvеѕ and form our own opinion about this ultrabook. After more than a week of daily use, here's our real-life experience with the ZenBook 3 UX390:
Unboxing the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390
We have received for testing an early version of this ultrabook, that was sent for testing to the press. It did not come in the final retail packaging that you will find in stores so we can't offer you pictures of the unboxing experience that you get when purchasing the ZenBook UX390. For this section of this review we can only use the official product pictures that were made available by ASUS.
Inside the box you will find the ASUS ZenBook UX390 ultrabook, the power adapter, a protective travel pouch, a USB-C mini-dock, the user guide and the warranty.
Depending on the color variant that you choose for this ultrabook, the color of the pouch you get also differs, to match your ultrabook. Above you can see the pouch you get for the rose gold variant while below you can see the pouch we got for the royal blue variant of the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390.
Let's see what you get in terms of hardware specifications from the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390:
Hardware specifications
ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 is offered in two main hardware configurations and in three color variants. The top high-end version includes a dual-core Intel Core i7 7500U processor running at 2.7 GHz, a 512GB PCI-Express Gen3 SSD made by Toshiba and 16 GB of LPDDR3 2133MHz SDRAM memory.
The more affordable model includes a dual-core Intel Core i5 7200U processor running at 2.5 GHz, a 512GB SATA3 SSD drive and 8 or 16 GB of LPDDR3 2133MHz SDRAM memory, depending on the country where you buy it. Another difference between the two models is the fact that the Core i7 model comes with Windows 10 Pro installed while the Core i5 model has Windows 10. Both hardware versions include an integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 card.
The screen is a 12.5" LED backlit FHD display with an aspect ratio of 16:9, a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and a screen to body ration of 82%. The sound on this ultrabook is managed by a quad-speaker system, featuring Harman Kardon technology.
ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 features an illuminated chiclet keyboard, a high precision touchpad made by ASUS and an ELAN fingerprint reader, which you can see in the picture below.
In terms of network connectivity, we have an Intel dual-band wireless-AC8620 network card that's capable on network connections of up to 867 Mbps, using the 802.11ac networking standard. This card also offers support for the latest Bluetooth 4.2 standard. As for ports, we only have an audio jack on the left margin of the ultrabook and a USB 3.1 Type C port on the right margin.
This is very little for any user who wants to be productive and that's why ASUS has included a USB-C mini-dock in the standard package. This dock offers a USB 3.1 port, an HDMI port and a USB 3.1 Type C port that can be used only for charging the device.
ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 also has an integrated VGA webcam, that's capable of recording video with a maximum resolution of 640x480 pixels at 30 frames per second.
This ultrabook features a 6 Cells and 40 Whrs polymer battery and 45W power brick with fast charging that charges the battery up to 60% in about 50 minutes and up to 100% in around 2 hours. ASUS promises an autonomy of up to 9 hours, which is impressive for an ultrabook with such powerful hardware.
The ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 ultrabook is very small and light: it has 11.65 inches or 296 mm in width, 7.52 inches or 191.2 mm in depth and 0.46 inches or 11.9 mm in height. The total weight is of only 2 lbs or 910 grams, which is very little.
We mentioned earlier that there are three color variants available: rose gold, royal blue and quartz grey. You can see them all in the picture below. For this review, we tested the royal blue variant, that looks great. We also liked the looks of the quartz grey variant.

Using the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 ultrabook
The best thing about the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 is how small, thin and light it is. Carrying it is a pleasure and the included pouch does look stylish while also being also very useful. A nd the performance is very solid: the Intel Core i7 7500U processor, coupled with 16GB of RAM memory and a very fast SSD drive, will deliver the punch you need in all usage situations except gaming or video editing. You won't have any issues running all kinds of business apps, browsing the web, listening to music or watching HD videos. You can also run casual games from the Windows Store but you should stay away from games with advanced 3D graphics.
The Zenbook UX390U has 12.5" display, with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, an IPS panel and Gorilla Glass 4 on top. The display is great when used indoors and in business environments, which is how most customers will use it. However, if you take it outdoors, you won't enjoy great visibility. Also, the fact that it is not a touchscreen, might be an issue for some. We are big fans of touch in Windows and we missed using this type of input.
Typing on the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 is a pleasant experience, after a period of accommodation. You won't have issues typing large documents and your hands won't get tired easily. The backlight is very useful in low light environments and many users will appreciate it. However, I do have one minor complaint regarding the positioning of the Shut Down button, near the Delete key, on the top-right corner of the keyboard. I ended up pressing this button many times instead of the Delete key.
The upside is that you won't easily shut down your ultrabook, when you press this button instead of Delete. This is because ASUS programmed this button to register long presses instead of short, quick ones, like those you perform when typing, which is great. The trackpad is also easy to use, as well as precise. A cool feature is that it can also act like a touchpad so that you can write on it and have the ASUS Touchpad Handwriting driver recognize your handwriting, so that you can insert it into your documents.
The only downside of the trackpad is the fact that it also includes the fingerprint reader on its top-right corner. At times, you will hit the fingerprint reader when you want to move the cursor to the top-right corner of the screen, which is inconvenient. Speaking of the fingerprinter reader - it does its job well at registering and recognizing your fingerprint and you can use it in conjunction with Windows Hello to quickly sign in into your computer.
The speakers are of very good quality for an ultrabook. The sound is loud and clear, perfect for those who are unsatisfied with the general sound quality on laptops and ultrabooks. However, at maximum levels, it can become too loud and a bit distorted, so you might want to lower the volume instead of keeping it at 100%. Overall, you will definitely enjoy the speakers on the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 when watching movies or listening to music.
The heat generated by this ultrabook is within normal limits for a device of its type. The cooling system does its job well and, even when the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 was under maximum load, the processor was cooled, on average, to 154 degrees Fahrenheit or 68 degrees Celsius. On the outside, you feel a lot less heat than the processor does. However, under maximum load, the top-right side of the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 can heat up to 113-122 degrees Fahrenheit or 45-50 degrees Celsius. This is the area where you plug in the power cable and where the processor is placed.
The webcam on the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 is of very low quality, which is very disappointing for a premium device. You can use it for video conferencing but you will not be seen very clearly at a maximum resolution of 640x480 pixels and 30 frames per second. Luckily, the sound quality is good so you will hear yourself well in conference calls.
Overall, I was very pleased with using the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 ultrabook, with one important exception: its lack of ports. While USB Type C is clearly the future, not having at least one USB 3.0 port available is a pain. You have to carry the USB-C mini-dock with you at all times and that's a hassle. Also, for the a device this elegant and good looking, the USB-C mini-dock is just ugly. Also, it is not very portable. From time to time, you do have to use a USB memory stick or you have to connect your ultrabook to a projector that doesn't offer support for Miracast so you have to use HDMI.
Another common situation for business users is when they have to work while travelling: they connect a USB modem from their company's telecom provider, connect to the internet and to their company's VPN. Most times, while traveling, they work using the ultrabook on their lap and the USB-C mini-dock is uncomfortable to use that way. You have to have a table in order to use it comfortably. It is a shame that connectivity was sacrificed for the ultimate thinness. In the end, it made this ultrabook less portable than it could have been, if it were thick enough to include at least a USB port.
When it comes to autonomy, things are not as great as you might expect: in the end, great performance always lowers the battery life you get. ASUS promises an autonomy of up to 9 hours. However, in our testing, we obtained somewhere between 4 and 6 hours, depending on how we were using it. Luckily, the fast charging does its job well and you give the battery some juice in just a couple of minutes of charging. If you are interested in lengthier autonomy, you will be best served by the model with the Intel Core i5 7200U processor, which uses less power.
