I’m not a big believer in bottom-mounted speakers and the ZenBook 13 has not disabused me of this opinion. They’re both dimmer than the 382-nit average, the MacBook Air (386 nits), and the Envy, which notched 401 nits. It averaged only 370 nits, which is better than the Swift 3’s 251 nits. Unfortunately, the ZenBook 13 isn’t as bright as I would have hoped.
It was not, however, enough to overcome the Envy 13’s 81.9% or the MacBook Air’s 80%. The ZenBook 13’s panel measured 76.1% on the DCI-P3 color gamut which is below the 83.4% premium laptop but above the 44.2% from the Acer Swift 3. The light glinted off her large, thin gold hoop earrings as the sun cascaded through her dark brown hair. When I watched the Still Here trailer on the ZenBook 13’s 13.3-inch, 1920 x 1080-pixel matte display, I clearly saw the knit pattern in actress Zazie Beetz’s rose-pink sweater. The ZenBook 13’s display delivers a colorful experience with clean detail when you’re watching movies. But what’s notably missing is the headset jack, which potentially ushers in a controversial trend of the disappearing headphone port.
FLIP CLOCK FOR MACBOOK AIR FULL
On the left, there’s a full HDMI 2.0 port and two Thunderbolt 4 ports, making the ZenBook 13 one of the first laptops to offer the next-gen charging standard. There’s a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port on the right along with a microSD card slot. The ZenBook 13 has several useful ports and slots. It’s not much, but it ensures that when the lock is enabled, no one can physically turn on your webcam. The webcam is Windows Hello compliant for face recognition logins and the laptop includes a lock key for the Fn row. Asus doesn’t offer much in the way of security.
