Asus ZenBook Pro (UX480FD)
The Asus ZenBook Pro 14 is a fine laptop that’s great for general use, handles most games, and can run professional apps, but the TouchPad is not a killer feature. While it will certainly make you stand out in a coffee shop, more developers need to support it to fulfill its potential, but then again, you could argue that Apple's touchbar is a failure and even touchscreens on laptops are not killer features for most.
