Pros and Cons

Asus ZenBook Pro 17

Strengths

The Zenbook Pro 17 delivers exceptional specs and performance for all-day, every-day multitasking.
It has a full-size keyboard with a key pitch of 19.05 mm, making it easy to type quickly and accurately.
The laptop features a huge touchpad that is incredibly responsive and snappy, with a vacuum vapor deposited nanotech hydrophobic coating for smooth performance.
It includes a fingerprint power button for easy and secure login using Windows Hello.
The Zenbook Pro 17 comes with a license of GlideX, a screen sharing app that allows you to use your phone or tablet as a second display.

Weaknesses

There is no mention of the weight and portability of the laptop in the text.
The price of the laptop is mentioned to be just a notch or two above $1000, which may not be affordable for everyone.
No information is provided about the battery life and charging time of the Zenbook Pro 17.
There are no specific details given about the webcam quality and microphone performance.
The text does not mention any potential issues with heat management or noise levels while using the laptop.

Honor MagicBook X 16

Strengths

The laptop has excellent build quality with no flexors on the magnesium alloy chassis.
It has a very reasonable weight of 1.75 kilograms similar to the competition.
You get a really nice slim bezel, 16 by 10 aspect ratio, 16 inch IPS display that pushes a 1920 by 1200 pixel resolution and covers 100% of the sRGB color space.
The display has up to 300 nits of brightness which is sufficient for working indoors.
You get a fingerprint reader embedded on the power button for Biometrics authentication.
Productivity users will appreciate the Magic Book X16 keyboard as it comes with a very spacious number pad and large keycaps for comfortable typing experience.
The laptop performs well and I never hear the fans kick in even when running multiple browser tabs, making it a very pleasant experience to work on.

Weaknesses

The display bezel webcam is a pretty underwhelming 720p camera with no IR sensor for facial recognition.
The backspace, enter, and right shift key are shrunken in size which might not be ideal for some users.
The trackpad isn't as large as I would like it to be but tracks well enough that doesn't force me to use an external Mouse.
Battery life is a far cry from what the company claims with only up to 4 hours of usage on a single charge.
The side panel feature can be accessed by pressing the function plus f11 key which might require some getting used to.
