Buying call

Buy the Zenbook A16 if you want a big screen that's easy to carry: reviewers praised its light, rigid build, 3K OLED, six-speaker sound and strong application performance. Skip it if you game, because its 3D performance is weak. Pricing and configurations are confusing, and the large touchpad can register accidental inputs.
