NotebookcheckJul 2024
Tested UM5606-RK333W (HX 370, 32 GB, 1 TB): ASUS's first Zen 5 Copilot+ laptop squeezes a fast chip into a 1.3 cm case with a bright 120 Hz OLED.

Lowyat.NETAug 2024
Tested HX 370 version: an easy laptop to want, light and cool-running, lasting close to 16 hours in the reviewer's use, and even fine for light gaming on the built-in graphics.
-
HotHardwareJul 2024
Tested HX 370 with 32 GB LPDDR5X-7500: a premium all-rounder with top-class built-in graphics and a lovely screen, let down by small design niggles.
-
SMBtechNov 2024
Tested HX 370, 32 GB, 1 TB: a strong ultraportable with more multi-core muscle than Intel's Lunar Lake rivals and over 14 hours in office battery tests, but warmer and noisier when pushed.
