I'm wondering what the battery life on the Asus will be? With a Core i7 and the smaller space for battery I suspect it will not be all that great. I also suspect this is why they are going 1080p rather than QHD+. The Asus UX305 with 1080p gets about 7-8 hours of run time but the same system with the QHD+ display gets about 5 hours. It is the same with the XPS 13 between the two screen configurations.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, actually Keychain does work for other apps within iOS as well. You can generate an app-specific Keychain-generated password. However, it seems there are a few apps that have APIs built in that allow it to utilize keychain info (i.e. Pinterest).
Apple can't compete with so many laptop manufacturers on build quality alone, Razer new laptops, zenbook 3 all have more advanced hardware as compared to any version of macbook, but it all comes down to operating system
I have been using macbook pro 2015 15 inch, my beefy gaming machine n Asus laptop as well, certain software's just perform much better in OSX or Hackintosh than their windows counterpart but when it comes to games, then any winsows machine can beat any apple computer hands down
So there is a very defined world for every type of user
I mostly edit photographs n videos on macbook or Hackintosh because there is no software on windows as good and fast as final cut pro x or Capture One
but for games I always use Windows
So zenbook 3 is definitely an amazing macbook 12 replacement, Zenbook Pro UX501 can even be Hackintosh-ed I'm sure in few months we will also be able to run osx on zenbook 3 so all in all it can be even a 13 inch MacBook pro replacement also

Yes. The Core m7 model I have (2016) performs about the same in real-world tasks as a Haswell i7-equipped notebook (equivalent to the 2014 MacBook Air) and on benchmarks about as well as the base model 2015 MacBook Air (Broadwell).
