    Neither the protective sleeve of the USB-C to 3.5 jack adaptor were in the package ( and the power cord was in under the blank cardboard construct rather than the neat place for the accessories

    ASUS confirmed they should be in it and are not optional, / ship with all models so to contact seller for replacement !

    I just gonna have to go without ( though makes me think in back of mind possibly a refurb

    IF any one else gets theirs they might confirm if missing too

    Hi, mine arrived yesterday and was the same (No sleeve or USB-C to headphone adapter). Other than than that everything looked brand new and is working excellently. I had to sign with Fastway for delivery, so was crazy that they dumped your delivery the way they did. And thanks very much for posting the bargain BTW!

    Likewise. Mine is missing too albeit the laptop appeared to be packaged properly.

    For anyone looking for the USB C to 3.5mm adapter, Anker stuff is usually fantastic quality and not especially expensive. Plus their customer service is so good that if there are any issues you can be sure they’ll sort of in no time.

    I guess people aren’t going to bother following up to either try to get the protective sleeve and adapter or some sort of credit for the items not included?

    Looks like a different region thing.
    This version you basically get nothing bar laptop and charger.

    I can't tell if the case is plastic or metal, normally the zenbook line is their premium line and the vivobook is the budget line, should be metal.

    Asus confirmed to me that they should be included (I emailed them)

    Have not used it yet but from memory it's metal lid

    But definitely not a cheap feel (like my old plastics Asus)

    Curry's has the 256gb version, it has the same contents I think. Laptop and charger.
    I can't recall where I read it, but I think in the US, it came with all those extras.
