The ASUS Zenbook 15 OLED is fast and nice to look at. Shame about the battery life though.
Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2, 1x USB 4.0 Gen 3 Type-C, 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x 3.5mm combo audio jackThe Zenbook 15 for 2023 comes in black, though it has a bluish sheen as the light catches it. There's a pattern of lines on its lid, created by adding shiny bits to its otherwise matte surface, that looks classy, and there's a hinge that allows the screen to lay flat but not fold back on itself.
That’s a minor gripe, however, and one of few we have with this machine. It’s well made, though is obviously plastic rather than aluminium, with a little bit of flex to the slender screen but an otherwise stiff chassis and a lid that closes softly. The keyboard is particularly good to type on, the keys large thanks to the wide aspect ratio, and even the numpad – though its keys are smaller than those on the main keyboard - doesn’t feel too squeezed in.
The trackpad has a beautifully shiny surface but feels ever so slightly wobbly in use. It at least has a nice positive click when you press down on it, and we had no problems with its accuracy.There's a good amount of connectivity on the Zenbook, though no Ethernet port – you’ll need a USB adapter for that. It has Wi-Fi 6E to make up for it as long as you’ve got a router to match, and with the latest Bluetooth 5.
We’d have liked to have seen an SD Card reader, but it’s a decent array of ports that suggests some sort of dock attached to one of the Type-C sockets would be a good purchase, if only for the extra convenience of only having to remove one cable when you take the Zenbook away with you. The screen is a good example of what laptop monitors can be like in 2023. It's reasonably high-res, has excellent colour, and with a 120Hz maximum refresh rate, everything is kept smooth while windows open and close. The only downside is that it reflects like crazy in sunlight, something no OLED seems capable of overcoming.
