C. de LacyThe Asus Zenbook 3 is a a feature-packed laptop from the Chinese gadget manufacturer, but how does it really fare with the iPhone giant, Apple's Macbook 2016? Here are the highs and lows for both laptops.
The Zenbook 3 and Macbook 2016 look strikingly similar in terms of aesthetics, size, and even the weight. The Zenbook 3 even has limited ports just like what Macbook 2016 reportedly has. Still, there are still some advantages and disadvantages on getting the Zenbook 3 instead of the Macbook 2016.
Supported Apps and Games
There is a huge number of games only available on Windows. Fortuntely with the Zenbook 3, it runs on Windows so for those looking for the sleek design of a Macbook and game compatibility of Windows, the Zenbook is a very good option.
However, according to ASUS' official website, the Zenbook 3 runs on a variance of i5 and i7 processors with built-in Intel HD Graphics 520 as GPU. It may not be able to run some games on certain levels or not at all especially for those that require higher specs.
Storage
The Zenbook 3 has 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB variances on its laptop line. Macbook may only have 256 GF and 512 GB, according to rumors and sources. If storage space is to be considered the most, consumers may get more choices with Zenbook 3.
Display
Based off the information collected by 9to5Mac, the upcoming Macbook 2016 may get a larger resolution display screen of 2,304 x 1,440 or possibly even higher. This is roughly 35 percent bigger than the Asus Zenbook 3. This also means cleared images, better resolution, and more pleasing to the eye graphics.
Price
Pretty much everything else is almost similar between the Asus Zenbook 3 and the Macbook 2016, but one of the biggest difference between the two could be the price.
Currently, the Zenbook 3 prices varies with $999, $1,499 and $1,999 as per the official listing price from the website. It can get more expensive than Apple's Macbook 2016 at some point, but it is better indeed, especially how the RAM can expand up to twice as any Macbook to date and if theories regarding the maximum RAM capacity of the Macbook 2016 is correct.
Several sources like TechRadar and 9to5Mac estimated that Macbook's price will start from $1,299 up to $1,599. For those who had been using Mac ever since may feel right at home with a Macbook and it is the case with each iteration.
However, if consumers are looking for more variety and want to use a sleek-looking laptop that runs on Windows, the Asus Zenbook 3 might be a very good alternative.
