If you have $1,500 to waste, and want to feel frustrated….AND look unprofessional, then get the Asus ZenBook. I bought it, was so hopeful, liked it a lot…then, three months into purchase, the audio starts to play up. When I’m a virtual meeting, probably at a time when you’re making an important point or sharing your screen, your Asus ZenBook will read the room, ignore all gravity of any meeting, and disable any audio output or input. My laptop speakers and mic stop working. Logical thing to do: switch to wireless or even wired headphones. Neither work. You’re stuck not hearing or being heard. The kicker? When MyASUS tells you to disable the Noise AI- Cancellation, which you’ve already done. Several times over… This laptop may look pretty, but this is one example where beauty is skin deep. The audio issues make me come across as unprofessional. ASUS Tech support has been useless. Return time has passed, support is nonexistent…my hard earned money has gone down the drain. I had so much hope for ASUS…wonder if they’ll care to redeem themselves…and how. The device cannot be used for virtual meetings, which is what life during and post-COVID is all about.
