I love my ASUS ZenBook 13!

  * The best laptop keyboard I've ever typed on!
  * Great screen
  * Weights 1 kg
  * Solid 8 hours of work on battery

Will definitely check that out just to see the keyboard. Getting really fed up with all the new Apple's keyboard design / experiences.

But at reduced Key Travel. The new scissor may be more reliable ( we dont have data yet ), but it certainly isn't the old scissors. It doesn't feel anything like it, in fact even with 1mm key travel, 0.3 more than the 0.7mm butterfly, it still felt very "butterfly" to me.

Bummer. The keyboard feels near as close to perfect for me. I just don’t have the 2k to get the laptop that I want right now.

Do you use windows or linux ? If so, which distribution ?

I use popOS on the UX330UN, not the exact same model, but fairly similar. I haven't had very many major issues with pop, but it is the only distro that hasn't given me any.
