It is powered by the blazing-fast seventh-generation 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-7200U processor, which delivers a ten to fifteen percent increase in overall power and performance, compared to the previous-generation Intel Skylake Core i5-6200U processor, along with a substantial enhancement in its 4K video transcoding and playback capability. It consistently achieves Octane benchmark scores that are in excess of the extraordinary 30,000 level. The combination of 8GB of system memory, a very speedy 256GB solid state drive, and this seventh-generation Intel Kaby Lake processor makes for a decidedly powerful and capable system. It readily handles mainstream day-to-day... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? Very Poor Battery. Otherwise good laptop.

If you're a person in need of a lightweight and very portable workstation for a college class or light software development work this is a very solid choice. As this is somewhat of a niche market, finding a laptop with this small of a footprint priced under $1000 while still being a decent computer can be somewhat of a challenge. The Zenbook3 does an excellent job at filling that role; With about a 12 inch footprint and weighing only 2 pounds it's very easy to fold up and take this laptop wherever you need to go. The i5-7200u offers more than enough power to utilize the laptop as a light to mid range workstation and the Intel 620, while not strong enough to run most AAA games, is still able to do light 3D work and perhaps even some lighter gaming with the settings dropped.
