From the manufacturer

ASUS emphasizes a large screen with low carrying weight, its Ceraluminum finish and on-device AI processing. ASUS

Strengths and limitations

Windows Central likes the display, keyboard and large touchpad. Its tests recorded 20 hours 30 minutes of local video and 14 hours 13 minutes of 4K YouTube streaming, not a battery promise for every workload.
The review used touch and non-touch X2E-94-100 samples; its everyday-use assessment ran at 60 Hz.
Windows Central: ASUS Zenbook A16 review
Ultrabookreview’s Andrei Girbea measured 13–14 hours of 1080p YouTube playback and 10–11 hours of text editing in Google Drive at about 120 nits. The fan runs at about 35 dBA in Standard mode and about 45 dBA in Performance mode; under heavy load a hotspot of about 45 °C forms above the keyboard, and a 20-loop 3DMark stress test showed no performance drop. The OLED panel uses PWM at about 1 kHz at every brightness level, and the glossy surface is very reflective in bright rooms. He saw occasional ghost touches from palm and clothing on the large touchpad, and counts software compatibility gaps on Windows on ARM and both USB-C ports being on the same side against it.
Asus-supplied non-touch 48 GB / 1 TB X2E-94-100 unit on April 2026 software. The touch version in this entry is about 100 g heavier with a different screen layer, so battery and reflection results may not match exactly.

Owner experiences and issues

Best Buy buyer krishelnino likes the performance, low weight and screen but criticises reflections and the absence of a webcam privacy shutter. RileyW also reports satisfactory multitasking after a month as a main computer.
Both reviews are verified and incentivized. Stated ownership is one week and one month; 1 TB touch configuration.

Tweakers test-panel participant Billy_2nd likes the light body and display, but flags Arm app compatibility and screen reflections. The processor does not guarantee that every app will work without problems.
UX3607OA-SQ013W configuration; test-panel participation disclosed. Its display and app experience is not a measurement of this touchscreen model.
