ZenBook UX390 jedan je od najpopularnijih ultrabookova koje je nedavno lansirao ASUS . Mnogi^(Many) su podijelili svoje mišljenje o ovom uređaju: nekima se svidio, neki su rekli da slijedi Appleov^(Apple) pristup s novim MacBookom^(MacBook) , dok su drugi imali negativne kritike o njemu. Bili smo vrlo znatiželjni da ga sami testiramo i stvorimo vlastito mišljenje o ovom ultrabooku. Nakon više od tjedan dana svakodnevne upotrebe, evo našeg stvarnog iskustva sa ZenBook 3 UX390:

Raspakiravanje ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390

Na testiranje smo dobili ranu verziju ovog ultrabooka, koja je poslana na testiranje u tisak. Nije došao u konačnom maloprodajnom pakiranju koje ćete pronaći u trgovinama pa vam ne možemo ponuditi slike iskustva raspakiranja koje dobivate kupnjom ZenBook UX390 . Za ovaj dio ove recenzije možemo koristiti samo službene slike proizvoda koje je ASUS stavio na raspolaganje .

Unutar kutije ćete pronaći ASUS ZenBook UX390 ultrabook, adapter za napajanje, zaštitnu putnu torbicu, USB-C mini-dock, korisnički priručnik i jamstvo.

Ovisno o varijanti boje koju odaberete za ovaj ultrabook, boja torbice koju dobijete također se razlikuje, kako bi odgovarala vašem ultrabooku. Iznad možete vidjeti torbicu koju dobivate za varijantu od ružičastog zlata dok ispod možete vidjeti torbicu koju smo dobili za kraljevsko plavu varijantu ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 .

Pogledajmo što dobivate u pogledu hardverskih specifikacija od ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390:

Specifikacije hardvera

ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 nudi se u dvije glavne hardverske konfiguracije i u tri varijante boja. Vrhunska high-end verzija uključuje dvojezgreni Intel Core i7 7500U procesor koji radi na 2,7 GHz , 512 GB PCI-Express Gen3 SSD tvrtke Toshiba i 16 GB LPDDR3 2133MHz SDRAM memorije.

Pristupačniji model uključuje dvojezgreni Intel Core i5 7200U procesor koji radi na 2,5 GHz , 512 GB SATA3 SSD disk i 8 ili 16 GB LPDDR3 2133MHz SDRAM memorije, ovisno o zemlji u kojoj ga kupujete. Druga razlika između dva modela je činjenica da model Core i7 dolazi s instaliranim Windows 10 Pro dok Core i5 model ima Windows 10 . Obje hardverske verzije uključuju integriranu Intel HD Graphics 620 karticu.

Zaslon je 12,5" FHD zaslon s LED pozadinskim osvjetljenjem s omjerom stranica 16:9, rezolucijom od 1920x1080 piksela i omjerom zaslona i tijela od 82%. Zvukom na ovom ultrabooku upravlja sustav četverostrukih zvučnika, koji uključuje Harman Kardon tehnologija.

ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 ima osvijetljenu chiclet tipkovnicu, visoko precizan touchpad tvrtke ASUS i ELAN čitač otiska prsta, koji možete vidjeti na slici ispod.

Što se tiče mrežnog povezivanja, imamo Intelovu^(Intel) dvopojasnu bežičnu-AC8620 mrežnu karticu koja je sposobna za mrežne veze do 867 Mbps , koristeći mrežni standard 802.11ac. Ova kartica također nudi podršku za najnoviji Bluetooth 4.2 standard. Što se portova tiče, imamo samo audio priključak na lijevom rubu ultrabooka i USB 3.1 Type C port na desnom rubu.

Ovo je vrlo malo za svakog korisnika koji želi biti produktivan i zato je ASUS uključio USB-C mini-dock u standardni paket. Ova priključna stanica nudi USB 3.1 priključak, HDMI priključak i USB 3.1 Type C priključak koji se može koristiti samo za punjenje uređaja.

ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 također ima integriranu VGA web kameru, koja je sposobna snimati video s maksimalnom rezolucijom od 640x480 piksela pri 30 sličica u sekundi.

Ovaj ultrabook ima polimernu bateriju od 6 ćelija^(Cells) i 40 Whrs i 45 W punjač s brzim punjenjem koji puni bateriju do 60% za oko 50 minuta i do 100% za oko 2 sata. ASUS obećava autonomiju do 9 sati, što je impresivno za ultrabook s tako moćnim hardverom.

ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 ultrabook^(UX390) je vrlo mali i lagan: ima 11,65 inča ili 296 mm širine, 7,52 inča ili 191,2 mm dubine i 0,46 inča ili 11,9 mm visine. Ukupna težina je samo 2 funte ili 910 grama, što je vrlo malo.

Ranije smo spomenuli da su dostupne tri varijante boja: ružičasto zlatna, kraljevsko plava i kvarc siva. Sve ih možete vidjeti na slici ispod. Za ovu recenziju testirali smo kraljevsko plavu varijantu koja izgleda odlično. Svidio nam se i izgled varijante kvarc sive.

Korištenje ultrabooka ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390

Najbolja stvar kod ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 je koliko je mali, tanak i lagan. Nošenje je zadovoljstvo, a priložena torbica izgleda elegantno, a također je vrlo korisna. A performanse su vrlo solidne: procesor Intel Core^{(Intel Core)} i7 7500U, zajedno sa 16 GB RAM memorije i vrlo brzim SSD pogonom, pružit će vam udarac koji vam je potreban u svim situacijama osim igranja igara ili uređivanja videa. Nećete imati problema s pokretanjem svih vrsta poslovnih aplikacija, pregledavanjem weba, slušanjem glazbe ili gledanjem HD videa. Također možete pokrenuti ležerne igre iz Windows Storea^{(Windows Store)} , no trebali biste se kloniti igara s naprednom 3D grafikom.

Zenbook UX390U ima 12,5" zaslon, rezolucije 1920x1080 piksela, IPS panel i Gorilla Glass 4 na vrhu. Zaslon je izvrstan kada se koristi u zatvorenom prostoru iu poslovnom okruženju, što će ga većina kupaca koristiti. Međutim, ako ste Iznesite ga na otvorenom, nećete uživati ​​u sjajnoj vidljivosti. Također, činjenica da to nije zaslon osjetljiv na dodir, može biti problem za neke. Mi smo veliki obožavatelji dodira u Windowsima^(Windows) i propustili smo koristiti ovu vrstu unosa.

Tipkanje na ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 ugodno je iskustvo nakon razdoblja smještaja. Nećete imati problema s tipkanjem velikih dokumenata i ruke vam se neće lako umoriti. Pozadinsko osvjetljenje je vrlo korisno u okruženjima slabog osvjetljenja i mnogi će ga korisnici cijeniti. Međutim, imam jednu manju pritužbu u vezi s pozicioniranjem gumba Shut Down , blizu tipke Delete , u gornjem desnom kutu tipkovnice. Na kraju sam više puta pritisnuo ovaj gumb umjesto tipke Delete .

Dobra strana je što nećete lako isključiti svoj ultrabook kada pritisnete ovaj gumb umjesto Delete . To je zato što je ASUS programirao ovaj gumb da registrira duge pritiske umjesto kratkih, brzih, poput onih koje izvodite prilikom tipkanja, što je sjajno. Trackpad je također jednostavan za korištenje, kao i precizan. Zgodna značajka je to što može djelovati i kao touchpad tako da možete pisati na njemu, a upravljački program ASUS Touchpad Handwriting prepoznaje vaš rukopis, tako da ga možete umetnuti u svoje dokumente.

Jedina mana trackpada je činjenica da uključuje i čitač otiska prsta u gornjem desnom kutu. Ponekad ćete pritisnuti čitač otiska prsta kada želite pomaknuti pokazivač u gornji desni kut zaslona, ​​što je nezgodno. Govoreći o čitaču otiska prsta – on dobro radi svoj posao u registraciji i prepoznavanju vašeg otiska prsta i možete ga koristiti u kombinaciji sa sustavom Windows Hello^{(Windows Hello)} za brzu prijavu na svoje računalo.

Zvučnici su vrlo kvalitetni za ultrabook. Zvuk je glasan i jasan, savršen za one koji nisu zadovoljni općom kvalitetom zvuka na prijenosnim računalima i ultrabookovima. Međutim, na maksimalnim razinama može postati preglasan i pomalo izobličen, pa biste možda htjeli smanjiti glasnoću umjesto da je držite na 100%. Sve u svemu, zasigurno ćete uživati ​​u zvučnicima na ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 kada gledate filmove ili slušate glazbu.

Toplina koju proizvodi ovaj ultrabook je unutar normalnih granica za uređaj tog tipa. Sustav hlađenja dobro radi svoj posao i, čak i kada je ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 bio pod maksimalnim opterećenjem, procesor je bio hlađen, u prosjeku, na 154 stupnja Fahrenheita^(Fahrenheit) ili 68 stupnjeva Celzija^(Celsius) . Izvana osjećate puno manje topline nego procesor. Međutim, pod maksimalnim opterećenjem, gornja desna strana ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 može se zagrijati do 113-122 stupnjeva Fahrenheita^(Fahrenheit) ili 45-50 stupnjeva Celzija^(Celsius) . Ovo je područje gdje uključite kabel za napajanje i gdje je postavljen procesor.

Web kamera na ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 je vrlo niske kvalitete, što je vrlo razočaravajuće za premium uređaj. Možete ga koristiti za video konferencije, ali nećete biti vidljivi vrlo jasno pri maksimalnoj razlučivosti od 640x480 piksela i 30 sličica u sekundi. Srećom, kvaliteta zvuka je dobra pa ćete se dobro čuti u konferencijskim pozivima.

Sve u svemu, bio sam vrlo zadovoljan korištenjem ultrabooka ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 , uz jednu važnu iznimku: nedostatak portova. Iako je USB Type C očito budućnost, nedostatak barem jednog USB 3.0 porta je muka. USB -C mini-dock morate uvijek nositi sa sobom i to je gnjavaža. Također, za uređaj ovako elegantnog i dobrog izgleda, USB -C mini-dock je jednostavno ružan. Također, nije baš prenosiv. S vremena na vrijeme morate koristiti USB memorijski stick ili morate spojiti svoj ultrabook na projektor koji ne nudi podršku za Miracast pa morate koristiti HDMI .

Još jedna uobičajena situacija za poslovne korisnike je kada moraju raditi dok putuju: povezuju USB modem s telekom operatera svoje tvrtke, spajaju se na internet i na ^(USB)VPN svoje tvrtke . U većini slučajeva, dok putuju, rade koristeći ultrabook u krilu, a USB -C mini-dock nije udoban za korištenje na taj način. Morate imati stol kako biste ga udobno koristili. Šteta što je povezanost žrtvovana za krajnju mršavost. Na kraju je ovaj ultrabook učinio manje prenosivim nego što bi mogao biti, da je dovoljno debeo da uključuje barem USB priključak.

Kada je u pitanju autonomija, stvari nisu tako sjajne kao što biste očekivali: na kraju, izvrsne performanse uvijek smanjuju trajanje baterije. ASUS obećava autonomiju do 9 sati. Međutim, u našem testiranju dobili smo negdje između 4 i 6 sati, ovisno o tome kako smo ga koristili. Srećom, brzo punjenje dobro radi svoj posao i bateriji dajete malo soka u samo nekoliko minuta punjenja. Ako vas zanima dulja autonomija, najbolje će vam poslužiti model s Intel Core i5 7200U procesorom koji troši manje energije.

Idite na sljedeću stranicu ove recenzije kako biste saznali više o performansama koje nudi ovaj ultrabook u popularnim mjerilima, kao i našu konačnu presudu.

Reviewing the ASUS ZenBook 3 UX390 - The thinnest ultrabook from ASUS

ZenBook UX390 is one of the most popular ultrabooks that were recеntly launched by AЅUS. Manу have shared their opinion about this device: some loved it, some said that it follows Apple's approach with the new MacBook, while оthers had negаtive rеviews about it. We were very curiоus to tеst it for ourselves and form our own opinion about this ultrabook. After more than a week of dailу usе, here's our real-life experience wіth the ZenΒоok 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.
