Personally, I'd take a fingerprint scanner on a laptop every day over a RealSense camera, and on something the size of the ZenBook 3, it's a no-brainer.ĭespite its minuscule form factor, the ZenBook 3 has a full-size keyboard. While setting up requires a fairly lengthy process of recording your print, it works flawlessly there on. Nestled in the corner of the trackpad is a small square: a single-touch fingerprint scanner good for Windows Hello authentication. On something this size, fingerprint wins out over RealSense every time But because it's a precision trackpad everything actually works and you're not going to be screaming and hunting for a Bluetooth mouse. There's a slight 'click' when you press down on it, but really not much at all, and for the most part you'll be using gestures and tap-to-click. This means it's actually great to use and the glass covering means your fingers just glide across it. Everything looks good on it, be it text, images or videos.īelow the display, there is a precision trackpad. What it translates to in layman's terms is that this is one amazing looking display. The downside to that being a glossy finish and not a matte one.ĪSUS has put a lot into the display, with technical jargon such as a 72% NTSC color gamut and TV-grade 1000:1 contrast ratio along with Tru2Life which boasts 200% contrast and extra sharpness. I'm not exactly sure a non-touchscreen needs to be covered in Gorilla Glass 4, but it is. The 82% screen-to-body ratio is impressive, as is the almost full 180-degrees of viewing angle.
What there is, is one of the nicest looking 1080p displays you'll find. Some might lament the lack of a touchscreen, but for better or worse there isn't one. For this size laptop, the 1920x1080 resolution display is more than ample.
