Perfect computer, but not for the EMF-sensitive

The laptop had no problems. It ran well and had no odd screen glitches or functioning issues after opening and startup. However, if you are sensitive to EMF, you might want to think again about buying this laptop. As I was typing and using the trackpad, I noticed that my fingers started hurting. It was like a radiating pain that started at my fingertips and moved up my hands. I am right-handed so I switched to using the trackpad w my left hand and after about 30minutes my left fingers became sore with that same odd pain. I kept going back to my old computer to compare (the pain would instantly go away when I went to my old 2014 laptop) and then back to the Asus alternating my right hand and left hand to make sure it wasn't all in my head, and I did this for three days of use but the pain continued and I couldn't take it anymore... I have a feeling this happened because the trackpad is a screen. The screen is a cool feature, but it most likely emits blue light and therefore emits more EMF than the usual trackpad. So buyer beware if you are sensitive... I really liked the calculator trackpad feature and even some of the newer Asus laptops display your whole desktop on the trackpad, but too bad the designers don't think about people who are sensitive to the electro frequencies emitted with all these cool, but unnecessary features.
PROS
- good sound. videos I watched sounded so clear. even a low volume gives great projection and high sound quality
- clear images on the screen
- extremely long battery life
- very lightweight
- came with cute but professional-looking envelope carrying case
- super fast
- can charge by USB super cool
CONS
- trackpad emits EMF, painful to fingers if you are EMF sensitive
- pine grey looks black at first (but in the light it's a blueish grey w metallic shimmer so beautiful)
- attracts fingerprints
- trackpad is too wide, you accidentally touch it when you don't mean to
- keyboard isn't centered properly above the trackpad so as you type your thumb will touch it which slows down what you're trying to do because you have to correct whatever mistake it made persistently. this is a problem with HP and ASUS keyboards because they shift their keyboards slightly to the left so instead of your left and right thumbs being evenly at the top left and right corners of the trackpad, your left thumb is almost off the trackpad and right thumb is more in the center... make it make sense. why would they design the computer like that...

Dear Marigold,
Absolutely, a great laptop.
We certainly understand the inconvenience this may have caused. The EMF emitting from the screen is minimal that may be of any health concern. Please allow some time to get use to this cool features.

Great laptop, this is the second generation of slim Asus zen book I own and it is as good as the first one was. For me it was the best windows based laptop I owned.
