On the other hand, we have the Asus ZenBook 3 ($1099.99 MSRP, $1599.99 as tested). On paper, this stupidly thin, 11.9mm-thick notebook seems like might have the same problems as the MacBook. Look a little closer, and you'll find that inside its gorgeous aluminum body beats the monstrous heart of a 7th generation Intel Core i chip. It even manages to squeeze in a keyboard you won't hate typing on for longer than a sentence.

But after using it for a week or so, there are flaws that have to be addressed, including disappointing battery life, a whirring fan, and a mushy trackpad. And even though Asus includes a USB-C dock, you're still going to be living la vida adapter. Those issues aside, if you value performance over runtime and mobility over everything, the ZenBook 3 gives you stunning portability and power in a single package.
