The laptop runs on Windows 10  which comes preloaded with McAfee LiveSafe and Office 365 App.We tried playing some games there was No lag or any issue while editing Photos using Photoshops or other Daily tasks like Using Microsoft word, Chrome and more we didn’t face any issue laptop heats up while in use.

As said above it comes with a quad-speaker audio by Harman Kardon Audio Quality is loud and clear there was no issue.The keyboard on Zenbook 3 is Backlit as expected in the price range.Typing on this Keyboard was okay there was not much issue but this keyboard can’t be used while playing games.
