Reviews for the Asus ZenBook UX430UN-GV038T
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
ASUS has clearly produced a very good product. The improvement over the older UX410 is notable and it also stands well against the competition of models from other companies such as HP’s EliteBook 850 G4, and Acer’s Swift 3, and the lightweight champion the Swift 5. From our GPU tests, we also saw that the new MX150 budget low-voltage solution fares well against the GeForce 940M and AMD’s new Vega 10 silicon.

The ASUS Zenbook UX430UN ticks almost all the right boxes for a good performing ultraportable laptop. With great design, excellent display, performance and good battery life, there is hardly anything to complain about UX430UN for the price you are paying. The only area where ASUS could have done a bit better is the fan noise.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
