Same name, new 8th Gen Intel Core processor. When we reviewed the ZenBook 3 Deluxe back in November, we came away feeling as though Asus wasn't from creating an excellent Ultrabook. The chassis is stylish, performance sound, and a few small tweaks here and there would elevate the system from good to great. Our recommendations included a touchscreen display, a better webcam, and improved battery optimisation.

The arrival of Intel's 8th Gen Core processors is an opportune moment to refresh existing laptops, and Asus has done exactly that with a 2018 model going by the same name. Say hello, again, to the ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490UA.
