Its officially summer and no doubt I’ll be going to places where my wandering feet takes me. While it looks like I’m on vacation, reality is I’m still working while taking beach breaks in between. So with all the traveling plus the scorching heat, I would need a workstation that’s very light to bring along yet tough enough to take the weather conditions and endure minor thuds, bumps and scratches along the way. Well getting my hands on the world’s slimmest and toughest ultrabook by ASUS made me feel like I’ll be spending my summer just as I had planned it.
Yep, I was skeptical at first with this 1.1 kg ultrabook and 12.9 mm thin, so that’s barely an inch. I thought, how would this put up with my frequent travels plus the sweltering summer heat? Trying the ASUS ZenBook S13 UX392 for a day, I got it in my bag along with my usual stuff and just placed it in the backseat of my car. It was around 10 a.m. and the heat is becoming unbearable so I had to quickly get off the car. I was halfway out of the parking area when I realized I forgot my bag with the ultrabook. So I had to go back and check if the ultrabook was ok and I was relieved that it booted fast and had no signs of damage.
The rest of my day was spent driving around and passing by a road under construction, the ASUS Zenbook S13 had some serious thuds while at the backseat of my car. Good thing this newbie from ASUS had military grade toughness and can endure changes in temperature as well as altitude which makes it great for travelers.
I can also get things done without tapping on this ultrabook because the ASUS Zenbook S13 is now Alexa-assisted. I can easily check my schedule, ask help from Alexa for almost anything or even ask to play music. Playing music from this Zenbook was incomparable, the Harman Kardon speakers was purely the sound of audio expertise. I even tried watching my fave series on the Zenbook and the sound was cinema quality. (Also Read: Zenbook Flip 15)
