    Hi, Please keep this message private

    Your review was very helpful, especially the internal photos helped me make up my mind.

    Just wanted to point out:
    "soldered RAM and PCIe x2 storage with most configurations"
    the SSD isn't soldered on my UX533FN, From your photos, looks like it isn't soldered on UX533FD either

    i5 (UX533FN) only has 1 fan, and a hollow heat sink.

    "The storage and Wi-Fi chip are in fact the only upgradeable components on this laptop"
    Wifi IS soldered, intel site calls it the "m2 1216" form factor

    Thanks for your review, made online shopping a little easier.

      Thanks for the clarification regarding the wifi module. The SSD is not soldered, I rewrote that part to make that more clear.

      Do you have a picture of the inside of that i5 model with a single fan? Does it also get the Nvidia graphics?

    Nice review, I bought it 2 months ago and a cannot agree more with all you have said. It fits my needs perfectly so I'm happy with it but it's clearly not a laptop for everyone!

    This is an excellent, no nonsense review.

    Hi,
    I'm looking for these particular model with the matte FHD screen. Could you tell the exact model? Is this the UX533FD 8113T?
    Thanks!

      Configurations vary from region to region, I'd recommend getting in touch with the store and ask about the screen.

    Do you notice any major overheating with this model, or it turning on after you hyphenate it and close it? I'll close it, put it in my bag, then take it out and find it's been running the whole time.

      That seems like a sleep issue. Try to manually put it to sleep in Windows before closing the lid, and see if it does the same

    I will buy the new version of this laptop (the one with i7 10th gen, 16 gb ram, 512 gb ssd)….the only difference with ux534 is the absence of the screenpad, right?

    Any other differences or something to know?

      Mostly yes. Our review is available here: https://www.ultrabookreview.com/31869-asus-zenbook-ux534-review/

      I'd also look into the other options if within your budget. I know Asus are highly competitive in some markets, but this design is showing its age and the Dell XPS 15 or the Lenovo ThinkPad X1E are nicer products overall.

        Thanks. Xps15 about 500 euros more than ux533….for ux533 it will be around 1250 euro

    Estoy muy complacido con este equipo, lo tengo hace un par de meses sin problemas. Solo tengo la duda de la batería. Aveces al 100% indica que queda 11 horas de tiempo pero en ocasiones se baja mucho. A que se puede deber que no sea constante?

    Gracias

    Hello,
    what is the difference between UX533FD model and UX533FTC model ??

    Forward, based on this review:
    https://www.ultrabookreview.com/31869-asus-zenbook-ux534-review/

    the UX533FTC model is less silent and warmer than the UX534FTC model ??

      I don't remember all the specs, but they're different generations as far as I recall.
