Add your reviewMixedAfter three months the battery report shows about 38 percent wear, though they call the laptop great.
PositiveEdits video in DaVinci Resolve on the 4060 model, doing cuts on battery or a 100W USB-C charger and using the stock charger only for heavy renders.
MixedTheir unit became stable after early fan problems and has done a fine job as a replacement for a gaming desktop, though the fans are noisy with the 4050 under load.
MixedOwns the 4060 version and loves it, with the screen brightness as the biggest gripe.
PositiveWas ready to return an open box unit but battery tweaks more than doubled battery life overnight, and loves everything else.
MixedFound battery life abysmal at first, but removing bloatware and startup items raised it from under 4 hours to 9.
NegativeDisabling the dGPU adds only an hour or two, and they got under 3 hours of battery with Chrome, Word and Teams. They want to return it.
MixedTheir machine repeatedly failed to recover from standby and drained battery fast; enabling Asus Hibernate Helper with the power button set to hibernate fixed it.
MixedAfter calling the touchpad terrible, they found the cause was Windows and it works very well and smoothly under Ubuntu.
PositiveHas used the 4060 model for a while for image and video editing, occasional gaming and browsing, and is satisfied, though fans rise under load when run from a USB-C dock.
NegativeFinds the PX13 unstable on docks and external screens, with power save problems and Whisper mode issues, compared with an Intel Zenbook S14.
PositiveWith the iGPU and a 10 watt CPU profile, they get a full day of work out of it.
NegativeReports the same fan problem, which only a full shutdown resolves.
NegativeThe trackpad glitches badly after sleep, fixed only by a restart or waiting about five minutes, and the October BIOS did not fix it.
MixedReturned the 4070 model for a Zephyrus because the 60Hz screen held it back for gaming and it ran warm, though they found it very good for professional work and its battery was good.
PositiveFinds the build quality great and says turning off the discrete GPU in the ASUS app improved battery life a lot.
NegativeReplaced their unit over the wake-from-sleep problem, but a few days later the same issue returned, less often than before.
PositiveJust picked up the 4050 version and loves the size, build quality and keyboard, using it for audio and photography work. They noticed some odd graphics glitches.
NegativeBought a new unit, struggled to find the hidden power button, then found the fan cycling from silent to very loud, even in video calls, and was not thrilled.
NegativeTheir first unit would not wake from sleep or hibernate, got very hot and drained the battery even after registry tweaks, so they exchanged it for another one.
MixedTheir PX13 worked well until an AMD driver update, after which it failed to wake from hibernate and ran very hot; later it improved after re-enabling modern standby.
MixedFinds the included pen wobblier than expected and needs software smoothing for accuracy, but still calls the laptop near perfect in every other way.
MixedLikes the engineering but has fans spinning up during sleep and a weak wifi card, hoping for driver fixes.
MixedSwitched from MacBooks to the 4060 model and was thrilled at first, but after two months of struggles with Windows drivers, a fan spinning up at night and HDMI dropouts they sold it and went back to a Mac.
PositiveGot the PX13 a week earlier, finds it beautiful, upgraded the SSD to 2TB and installed Windows 11 24H2.
MixedOwner of the 4050 version whose fans were running at full blast after sleep. They love the laptop but the fan behaviour makes them second guess the purchase.
NegativeIn sleep mode the fan suddenly goes full blast, even after a BIOS update. They returned it within the return window.
NegativeFans randomly spin up while sleeping or under no load, even after the BIOS update.
PositiveOwner of the 4050 version who is very happy with build, touchpad and OLED screen, and finds thermals and noise fine for light gaming.
PositiveTheir PX13 also did not wake from hibernate until the BIOS V310 and ASUS System Control Interface updates added Hibernate Helper, after which it woke normally.
MixedCalls it an amazing laptop with the main caveat being battery life; fans can run loud, but Whisper mode keeps them unobtrusive.
NegativeFan is on full blast, a problem that started after the BIOS update.
PositiveOrdered the 4050 model for its form factor and OLED and calls it a great little machine, though they later wanted a bigger screen and moved to a 14 inch laptop.
PositiveA week in with the 4050 model, they flip between tablet and laptop modes constantly without a creak and call it very solid.
NegativeOn the 4050 model the fans randomly came on with the lid closed and power connected, once needing a forced shutdown.
MixedEarly on the fan ran loudly during light use, apparently fixed by a driver update, though later fan runaways in sleep and Whisper mode returned.
MixedOwner of the 4060 model whose fans run at full blast for seconds at a time while closed and asleep, otherwise fine for gaming.
MixedTweaking with G-Helper, the fans ramp to 2400 RPM regardless of the 1800 RPM setting, and the temperature creeps up when passive.
PositiveDescribes tank-like build quality and rock solid hinges on their unit, comparable to a MacBook Pro or Surface Laptop.
NegativeSingle tap on the trackpad intermittently fails until a restart, and they ended up returning it.
NegativeConsidering returning it because the screen glare is so bad.
PositiveOwner of the 4070 model says it has been great; in quiet mode at 15W for light use the battery life approaches that of a G14.

NegativeGets around 4 hours of light use on a brand new unit, below the 8-10 hours reviewers claimed.
