I have now been using the ASUS ZenBook 13 UM325 for well over a month, having finally purchased it when it came back into inventory. I am super happy with my purchase. The keyboard is Great. The screen is Great, unlike its Intel sister, it rarely kicks-on its fan (which is not silent, but also not obnoxiously loud). I purchased it to replace an old $300 ASUS Windows convertible 8 laptop. While this is slightly heavier, overall, it is about the same weight, as I had purchased a heavy sleeve for the other laptop. Positives: Weight Speed Screen (brightness, resolution, color) Expansion (HDMI 2.0b full sized, USB 3.2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Type-A, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.0, and Micro SD card reader) Disk space (512 GB NVME) Full Sized almost silent keyboard Touchpad (I don’t bother w/ the numeric keypad feature now, but can see how it would have been useful back when I was constantly using Excel) Use of PD USB-C for power delivery Needs Improvement: RAM size (8GB max is a minimum these days. I understand why they’d do this due to current chip shortage, but this is not expandable at all!) I’d love to have been able to purchase 12 or 16 GB today and expanded it to 32 GB in 2 years Lack of 3.5mm mic/audio output (comes w/ a USB-C-to-3.5mm dongle) Lighter (and more expensive) power brick w/ removable USB cable (I purchased a 110W PD4 + QC3 charger that is lighter than the included 67W charger). The whole idea of light is for the entire package. I don’t care if the laptop is 1kg, if the power brick is 2kg, I would not buy it. As it is, the included power brick is simply adequate (I expected more from ASUS). Keep in mind: Not sure if it is an issue w/ my two (different) USB-C hubs or both of the USB-C connectors on this laptop, but the connection is really finicky and can easily get disconnected w/ the slightest movement on either sides. If you have any external mass storage device attached through a hub, this will disconnect (and then reconnect) the device, interrupting any file transfer, which could result in file or file system corruption as well as power disconnect/reconnect (no problem). It also often results in Windows proclaiming that it can no longer recognize the attached USB device (the hub). Plugging the hub into the other USB-C (if free) or a reboot often resolves the issues. Not nice. Microsoft/Asus: Should offer a $70 (or so) upgrade to Windows Pro option like they used to. Sad that they no longer do. I have recommended this AMD-powered laptop to all of my friends and would buy it again. If it is not in the inventory, the Intel version is a close second. I consider it a great value for the $.

the laptop is excellent and well built, amazing screen and above-average speak that sound loud, the keyboard is not clicky but I like it, in general, I feel pretty good about the purchase Cons: the base model core i5 1135g7 is the maximum the slim chassis can handle which is not a problem for me but keep in mind if you want a more powerful processor, the hinge is too soft any movement can change the display angle and I don’t know the other models but the base model has a slow NVME drive around 1200/800 MB/s

So far, this is the only OLED ultrabook that I have seen on the market (along with its Intel sibling, the UX325). This display is beautiful and has worked nicely as a monitor for astrophotography and light picture editing. There may be some complaints about this 13.3in display not being 4K (only 1080p here), but it is not warranted on a display this size. For my uses, this laptop has blended into my setup very well. Recommended for a decent reference/tethered shooting option, with great battery life and thin and sleek profile.

moderately powerful gpu for size, with great cpu, only 25 watts, fan will possibly never turn on unless ambient temperature is quite hot, oled screens are beautiful (no hdr)

Higher power consumption is due to I7 core. Anyway It is good by I7 core.

Easy to carry and runs with no time. Don’t have to wait to long to start. Good to work or study at home. Battery hold good and enough time to be watching videos or working a hole day. Great purchase!

I use this for work and haven’t had a problem. My main complaint is the really small shift key on the right hand side. I’m constantly hitting the up arrow by mistake and it’s frustrating
