Source-linkedVerify source — Trustpilot reviewTrustpilot review by Kunal (1 July 2026). ASUS Zenbook S16: motherboard defective within first 5 months (warranty return claimed fixed without parts swap). Later fans failed loudly; ASUS said out of warranty by 2 days so reviewer paid for DIY fans. Complimentary diagnosis later quoted ~$600 with pressure to pay or lose the laptop; fan issue returned after that service.
