I bought one of the first gen zenbooks. The trackpad was completely unusable due to terrible windows drivers (dragging didn't work right). I vaguely remember failing to install linux on it.
They had two models of ssd, but one laptop sku. One model went to review websites, the other's performance degraded to actually be noticably slower than a hard disk. You could replace the ssd, but it was a non-standard form factor, so you needed to buy an expensive m.2 converter.
The keyboard dropped keystrokes.
The screen was meh for the time.
This was their flagship laptop that year.
After it has been a full decade, I might consider buying another asus laptop.
