Asus UX Series

Asus Zenbook UX310UQ-GL163T

With the recent announced UX21 and UX31 Ultrabooks, provided by the Taiwanese manufacturer Asus and marketed under the self-created term Zenbook, the already existing UX series moves back to the foreground. In 2009 Asus showed the slim notebook UX50V with energy efficient hardware and a 15-inch display. Today, three years after the first device of this series Asus presents two devices in the Ultrabook-class with 11.6 - and 13.3-inch display. The category Ultrabook itself was launched by Intel to the fire up the market of the top dog Apple with its MacBook Air 11 and MacBook Air 13.

Significant milestones for this project are a sleek design, fast and energy-saving hardware as well as a decent battery lifetime. Asus uses a alloy-chassis, a solid state drive and a lithium-polymer battery, which is integrated. In the first reviews for the two new devices  the available ports, the bright screen and the minimalistic background noises in idle-usage models are highlighted. Disadvantages are the reflective surface of the display and the missing option to expand the integrated hardware.

Asus offers the Zenbook UX21 (11.6 inches) and the UX31 with the larger 13.3-inch screen from 999 € (MSRP) upwards. In regard to other devices you’ll see that Asus only sell premium devices at the moment. Acer offers the Aspire S3 Ultrabook already from 799 € (MSRP) upwards. But in comparison the devices from Asus get a better result in the most reviews out there.

76% Review Asus UX50V Notebook | Notebookcheck
Judge a book by its cover? Asus wants to poach in the starter sector of multimedia notebooks with glossy piano lacquer, a snazzy design and a switchable graphic solution. Or don't they? Is the 15.6 inch notebook UX50V more an office device that looks good but is barely suitable for multimedia due to the weak hardware? We released the designer laptop on our test course and made our verdict without being blinded by its looks.

Although attractive, we weren’t hugely impressed with the keyboard, while the design of the trackpad buttons is woeful. And despite its ability to switch to a discrete graphics chip, the Nvidia Geforce G105M isn’t up to much in terms of gaming. If you’re happy sacrificing power and a fair wedge of cash for style, the UX50V will probably appeal. But we think Asus has its work cut out in persuading customers to shell out £999 for its latest catwalk queen.

The Asus UX50V-RX05 is closer to an oversized Netbook than a mainstream laptop. If you took the Asus Eee PC 1005HA and doubled its weight and price, you'd basically end up with the UX50V. This 15.6-inch laptop shares many design cues with the Eee PC 1005HA, with its sleek profile, tapered edges, and glossy chassis. Unfortunately, it also shares roughly the same performance profile as a Netbook, thanks to its underpowered, single-core CPU. With its low-end single-core processor, dedicated GeForce graphics, and 16:9 display, the unquestionably sleek, entertainment-minded Asus UX50V-RX05 is a good fit for a specific user profile: the movie lover/sometime gamer.

  According to Asus, the UX series is 'an intricately crafted series of notebooks that provide both contemporary style and effortless computing on the go'. In human speak, that means they're thin and light, look awesome and have funky new components. The UX50V, reviewed here, is being sold by online retailers for around £910. The Asus UX50V is great to look at, but it's let down by relatively average performance and design features that detract from the overall user experience. Its shiny finish will appeal to magpies and those with design degrees, but the cheaper, slightly less attractive MSI X340 -- or indeed an Apple MacBook -- might be better options.

  A stylish and high-quality offering from Asus, but not the fastest machine. Asus' UX range is aimed at the high end of the laptop market, and targets rivals such as Sony's VAIO range. The UX50V is a compact and stylish 15.6-inch machine, offering impressive quality and a distinctive design. The Asus UX50V offers a lot of style and quality for the money. It's also a comfortable choice with decent 3D power on offer. Whether it's stunted by the single-core processor remains to be seen, but it's still an impressive start.

86% Review Asus Zenbook UX21E Ultrabook | Notebookcheck
Perfection. The power version of the Zenbook, with a Core i7, is as handy as a netbook but faster than most multimedia machines. How is this possible with a build height of 17 millimeters? The lightning-fast ADATA SSD sets the standard higher than ever.
Asus Zenbook UX21 Ultrabook, The New Thin
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
From one point of view, the Asus Zenbook UX21's closest competitor would be the 11-inch Apple MacBook Air. Looking at specifications and features alone, the UX21 lines up quite nicely versus Apple's offering. In about the same price range (as our machine was configured), you get additional wired Ethernet connectivity and standard external display output, both of which aren't options for Apple's product.

ASUS Zenbook (UX21) Review
Source: AnandTech English Archive.org version
Given the lack of any Intel-specific Ultrabook software I'm hesitant to even call this thing an Ultrabook. There's also the fact that, at least in the case of Intel Rapid Start Technology, being more of an Ultrabook in that sense would've been a step back in performance. In fact, I see no real reason to use that brand at all—which is likely why ASUS ended up calling it a Zenbook to begin with.

The Zenbook is Asus' first foray into the Ultrabook world, offering powerful guts wrapped up in a super-slim and sturdy aluminium shell. The Asus Zenbook UX21 is not only slim, light and attractive but also offers fantastic performance for a very reasonable price. It's very difficult to find much wrong with it.

Asus Zenbook review: First Look
Source: It Pro English Archive.org version
The Asus ZenBook has a lot of promise and it'll be interesting to see if it lives up to its stated five hour battery life. Both the UX21 and UX31 will be available on October 21st, so it's likely to beat rival ultrabooks from Acer and Toshbia to market. Even better, at £849 inc VAT for the 11in model and £949 for the 13in version, the Zenbook either matches or undercuts Apple's pricing for the MacBook Air range. We would be lying if we said we weren’t tempted. We'll bring you a full review as soon as we can.

100% Asus ZenBook UX21 and UX31 hands-on first look review
Source: IT Reviews English Archive.org version
Lush to look at, the ZenBook just oozes class - which is why the price, while still placing these models into the premium bracket, came as a bit of a surprise. The 11.6in UX21 costs £849, while the 13.3in UX31 sells for £999 - coincidentally, the prices of Apple's two entry-level MacBook Air models. But spec for spec, the ZenBooks outclass their Apple competition by some margin, doubling the capacity of the SSD to 128GB and upping the processor in the £999 model to an Intel Core i7 against the Air's i5. Expensive they may be, but to those seeking the ultimate in PC style we reckon the new Asus ZenBooks are worth every penny. Check back on ITReviews soon, when we put the ZenBooks through their paces in a full lab-tested review.

From our brief play with the Zenbook it looks like Asus has got a rather tasty gadget on its hands. There isn't much else, short of the Samsung Series 9 which can't quite boast the looks or build of the Zenbook. Expect more when Pocket-lint gets a lengthier play with the Zenbook.

Asus UX21 first look
Source: Trusted Reviews English Archive.org version
The UX21 is a seriously impressive device. Its design is stunning and it packs in all the essentials for a great ultraportable notebook, or ultrabook. We would've liked to see Asus squeeze a memory card reader in there, and ThunderBolt would've been particularly nice, but these are hardly to be expected. All that remains to be seen is how its battery life holds up and how much it retails for when it arrives later this year.

The Asus Zenbook UX31E is impressive. It's an excellent performer, it's attractive and light, and it plays back multimedia well. Unfortunately, its screen is off-colour and its touchpad needs more work.

Asus’ 13in Zenbook comes very close to being the ultimate Ultrabook. It sports a nice design, solid aluminium build, superb connectivity, high-resolution screen, great keyboard and touchpad, class-leading audio and premium accessories such as the stylish sleeve – and all for under £1,000. Given this, its lack of keyboard backlighting can easily be overlooked. Unfortunately, its screen’s poor viewing angles are trickier to forgive, keeping the UX31 from a Recommended Award by a kitten’s whisker.

There's no doubt that the Asus Zenbook UX31 is a stylish and solid laptop that should appeal to those of you who want good performance out of a thin-and-light unit. However, we feel that it has been rushed to market and that its user friendliness suffers as a result. Its input devices are not very good, it doesn't have a backlit keyboard, we found it uncomfortable to type on and we had to fiddle with drivers to get things working properly out of the box. This is disappointing, especially considering all the hype behind this product.

The bad points? I don’t like the restricted viewing angle on the display, and the case doesn’t immediately snap shut when you close it in your hands - the Zenbook just gapes back open a little unless you put it on a tabletop and press the case shut for a couple of seconds. The good points? Everything else: usability, connectivity, build quality, slimline profile and power management. The UX31E is a cracking good Ultrabook and worth the money.

The Asus Zenbook UX31 is Asus' first foray into the ultrabook world, offering a powerful Intel Core i7 processor wrapped up in a super-slim, sturdy aluminium shell. The Asus Zenbook UX31 is incredibly slim, light and great to look at. With an Intel Core i7 processor at its heart, it packs a powerful punch and still manages to undercut Apple's MacBook Air.

100% Asus Zenbook UX31
Source: Mobile Tech Review English Archive.org version
We like the Asus Zenbook UX31 quite a bit. It's exquisitely thin, superbly light at 2.86 pounds, and it's gorgeous. The build quality is top notch--in fact it's one of the best made notebooks we've seen outside of Apple's store. The laptop is very fast and could work as a main machine if you're not a 3D gamer. For a 13" ultraportable it has a better than average selection of ports, and we love the HDMI and USB 3.0 ports in particular. Though most components are soldered onto the motherboard, we appreciate that it's not hard to open up the notebook to access components. We have no qualms with the keyboard though it's not our favorite, and we actually like the trackpad after updating the firmware and drivers. Lastly, the 1600 x 900 display really sets the Zenbook apart from the crowd and is more conducive to doing serious work on the go. Finally, there's a MacBook Air for Windows folks. That's not to say the Air isn't an excellent machine to run Windows, but the $200 price savings, Windows keyboard, HDMI and USB 3.0 combined with the higher resolution display are a good counter to the Air.

There's no doubt that the Zenbook looks and feels great and has the advantage of a high-resolution screen. It's no MacBook Air-killer though. Its battery doesn't last as long as the Air's and the keyboard and touchpad can be frustrating to use. Even if you're tied to Windows, there are better alternatives such as Toshiba's similarly price 1.5kg Portégé R830 which has far superior battery life. The Zenbook will only appeal to those that want a Windows ultraportable that looks like a MacBook Air and are willing to put up with the Zenbook's flaws to get one. While it's possible Ultrabooks from other manufacturers will do a better job, it'll be tough as the MacBook Air isn't just a collection of components but a result of tight integration between hardware and software. We'll have to wait and see.

If you need to create content on the move and require Windows 7, the Zenbook is a good option and is definitely more useful than any tablet or hybrid. The £999 price tag is not cheap, but it's still £100 less than the 13in MacBook Air model with a Core i7 processor and 128GB SSD. However, it might be worth waiting to see whether the Zenbook is bested by Ultrabook offerings from Acer, Lenovo and Toshiba.

Whether it’s these nagging design details, or the more serious flaws in its construction, the Zenbook UX31E makes some big trade-offs. There’s no doubt it gets some things emphatically right – the beauty, brawn and stamina are all worthy of praise – but it’s inconsistent in the most crucial aspects of any laptop’s design. That makes it impossible to fully recommend right now, but one thing is for sure: the battle of the Ultrabooks has only just begun.

This performance chart clearly depicts Asus UX-31 to be a great performer, trailing only behind MacBook Air and way above average. (Picture provided by Cnet). So, it seems the Asus UX-31 Zenbook is a very creditable alternative to the Macbook Air, and a better deal than the Acer Aspire S3.

Asus Zenbook review: First Look
Source: It Pro English Archive.org version
The Asus ZenBook has a lot of promise and it'll be interesting to see if it lives up to its stated five hour battery life. Both the UX21 and UX31 will be available on October 21st, so it's likely to beat rival ultrabooks from Acer and Toshbia to market. Even better, at £849 inc VAT for the 11in model and £949 for the 13in version, the Zenbook either matches or undercuts Apple's pricing for the MacBook Air range. We would be lying if we said we weren’t tempted. We'll bring you a full review as soon as we can.

100% Asus ZenBook UX21 and UX31 hands-on first look review
Source: IT Reviews English Archive.org version
Lush to look at, the ZenBook just oozes class - which is why the price, while still placing these models into the premium bracket, came as a bit of a surprise. The 11.6in UX21 costs £849, while the 13.3in UX31 sells for £999 - coincidentally, the prices of Apple's two entry-level MacBook Air models. But spec for spec, the ZenBooks outclass their Apple competition by some margin, doubling the capacity of the SSD to 128GB and upping the processor in the £999 model to an Intel Core i7 against the Air's i5. Expensive they may be, but to those seeking the ultimate in PC style we reckon the new Asus ZenBooks are worth every penny. Check back on ITReviews soon, when we put the ZenBooks through their paces in a full lab-tested review.

From our brief play with the Zenbook it looks like Asus has got a rather tasty gadget on its hands. There isn't much else, short of the Samsung Series 9 which can't quite boast the looks or build of the Zenbook. Expect more when Pocket-lint gets a lengthier play with the Zenbook.

ASUS UX31E Ultrabook delivers incredible value, undermines tablet market

With the Asus UX31E, all the fuss about Ultrabooks starts to make sense. Its all-metal chassis, cut from a single sheet of aluminum, is undeniably handsome. And while this attractive metal wedge that’s just .71 inches at its thickest brings to mind the fine craftsmanship of a MacBook Air, it’s by no means a knockoff. The UX31E possesses a unique character that’s admirable in its own right. And at $1,050, it’s $250 less than its similarly spec’d Apple counterpart.

After the first Ultrabook left us feeling lukewarm, we grew hopeful that maybe, just maybe, ASUS' Zenbooks would get it right. While the S3 has little more to offer than a low price point, the UX31 has an arresting design and SATA III SSD that promises superior battery life and performance.

The ASUS Zenbook UX31 takes a lot of what we loved about the 13-inch MacBook Air--a wafer-thin aluminum chassis, fast performance, instant resume, and good battery life--and adds even better audio and a higher-resolution display. Even better, the UX31 costs $200 less than the Air. The design of the ASUS also looks and feels more premium, thanks to the brushed-metal treatment. However, while we can live with not having a backlit keyboard, the touchpad simply doesn't work as well as it should--and you interact with that the most. The Zenbook UX31 is our favorite Ultrabook so far, but the Air is still our top ultraportable.

Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The UX31 is one of the most refreshing PCs I’ve reviewed in a long time. The design and quality are truly outstanding; ASUS clearly went all-out. The sheer thinness and light weight of the notebook make you want to buy it as soon as it’s picked up. Another major highlight of the notebook is the excellent 1600x900 screen resolution which is remarkable for a 13.3-inch notebook. I was also impressed with the good sound quality and six hours of battery life. The real downsides of the notebook concern the keyboard and touchpad; both take getting used to. The keyboard requires extra pressure; the keys must be 100% pressed otherwise keystrokes do not register. I mastered this after a few days. The touchpad needed a driver update before it became predictable, and even then it is not particularly accurate. I also wish the clicks were quieter. Other things to consider with this notebook are the lack of user-upgradeable parts (there are none) and scarcity of ports (that can be solved with adapters, however).

The Asus Zenbook UX31 may be early to the ultrabook party, being one of only two on the market, but it tops the spiritual progenitors of the ultrabook category, the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch and the Samsung Series 9. While it may not be as affordable as the Acer Aspire S3, it more than makes up for it in superior construction, a fuller feature set, and stronger performance. With models on the horizon from Toshiba and Lenovo (both coming in November), it may face some stiff competition soon, but for the time being, the Zenbook UX31 is our Editors' Choice and the ultrabook to beat.

The Asus Zenbook UX31 may be early to the ultrabook party, being one of only two on the market, but it tops the spiritual progenitors of the ultrabook category, the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch and the Samsung Series 9. While it may not be as affordable as the Acer Aspire S3, it more than makes up for it in superior construction, a fuller feature set, and stronger performance. With models on the horizon from Toshiba and Lenovo (both coming in November), it may face some stiff competition soon, but for the time being, the Zenbook UX31 is our Editors' Choice and the ultrabook to beat.

ASUS Zenbook UX31 Ultrabook Review
Source: Hardware Canucks English Archive.org version
The ASUS Zenbook is one of those products that PC users just want to like. It is slim, well built, performs reasonably well and incorporates all of the design marquees that make the Apple competition “unique” without the high cost normally associated with fruit-labeled notebooks. Unfortunately, in a headlong drive to make a bona fide Mac competitor, ASUS has fallen into some of the very pitfalls they initially set out to avoid.

Asus Zenbook UX31 ultrabook review

The Asus Zenbook UX31 is an attractive laptop. It’s a fast laptop. For the month that I’ve had it, it’s been my favorite computer in the house. But I’m getting ready to box it up and ship it back to Intel and I’m not sure I’m ready to spend $1100 to buy my own Zenbook.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the MacBook Air should be positively blushing right around now. The Asus Zenbook UX31E is an excellent-looking Windows Ultrabook laptop that matches the MacBook Air step for step with an even better price. Fans of great audio, high-resolution screens and lots of ports will be happy; keyboard/touch pad aficionados will be disappointed.

For all its faults, it isn’t hard to appreciate the Zenbook UX21’s talents. The mediocre display disappoints, but for a first effort this shows immense potential. Pretty, portable and powerful, it’s as fine an Ultrabook as you’ll find for the money.

Source: Reg Hardware English Archive.org version
The Asus Zenbook UX21E is thinner, lighter and much more fun to use than I thought possible for an 11in notebook. Built to last and to impress, it manages to look amazing and cute at the same time. If the viewing angle on the display had been a few degrees wider, I would have rated the computer 90 per cent: I liked it that much. Asus also deserves kudos for including a tough slipcase, a USB-to-Ethernet adapter and a mini VGA-to-VGA adapter in the box, rather than charging for these as optional extras.

The Asus Zenbook would be a great laptop for use while travelling due to its good battery life and low weight, but its poorly designed touchpad and keyboard make it frustrating to use. It's not a bad laptop, but better buys are available.

The UX21E is slightly disappointing. While the MacBook Air 11.6-inch is a bit more expensive, it also has a longer battery life, is more powerful and has a better quality screen, webcam, keyboard and audio section. While the UX31E – 13-3-inch version – is almost on a par with the same-size Air, the same can't be said for the UX21E.

Frankly, we all laughed when we heard Intel’s price targets for ultrabooks. In theory ultrabooks are simply MacBook Air clones manufactured by Intel partners that are not as experienced with ultrathin and light machines as Apple. Well, the UX21E is quite a good machine.

It wakes from sleep in two seconds and cold-boots in 21, excellent. It even auto-saves documents when battery life falls to 5%. Thrashing the UX21 delivers shutdown after 2hrs 24 mins, buzt sensible usage gives over five hours of battery life. The UX21 costs $1199.99. Its big brother, the 13″ Zenbook UX31, features an i7 processor, but performancewise there’s nothing in it.

ASUS UX21E
Source: Inside HW English Archive.org version
If you’re expecting new technology to use its first models to penetrate the market and make way for later revisions, containing a bunch of issues and child diseases typical of such devices – you’ll find none of that here. Intel has done their part of the job flawlessly, ASUS has done their best to add their own touch to the concoction, and the result speaks for itself – Zenbook is a worthy introduction to the ultrabook age by all means. The only reason to keep you away from this PC is a high price, one that requires a more sizeable budget than usual.

85% ASUS Zenbook UX31 - Keeping it Zen
Source: Hardware Zone English Archive.org version
So we’re going to make it really easy for you readers to decide whether or not to get yourself an ASUS Zenbook UX31. It's really sexy, very robust, and it's an Ultrabook. Just in case you haven’t caught up on reading our Ultrabook guide, we pit the reference recommendations against the ASUS counterpart - Ultrabooks should ideally measure under 20mm in thickness (UX31 is 17mm), weigh under 1.5kg (UX31 is 1.3kg) and they're fast (instant resume with SSDs).

Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
The Zenbook UX31 is priced at Rs. 89,999 (MRP). For those on-the-go; a powerful battery coupled with portability is always a brilliant feature to have in your laptop and the Zenbook does exactly that. However, the biggest drawback the UX31 has is the glitchy keyboard and trackpad. If you’re paying big bucks for a notebook, you’d pretty much get at least a decent keyboard. In comparison to the Lenovo U300s, this one definitely has better looks and performance. But, simply for the want of a better keyboard and trackpad, we would recommend the U300s over the Zenbook UX31.

As a rule of thumb, a manufacturer's first attempt at a new product is usually its worst, and in knowing that we've been left pleasantly surprised by the Zenbook UX31. The Ultrabook should still be rough around the edges, but ASUS has developed a machine that's gorgeously designed, well-put together and, generally, excellent in use.

Source: T Break English Archive.org version
Ultimately the ASUS Zenbook is a tough sell in this market. The competition from Apple’s side is very tough, despite the higher price tag, as many people will see value added (and brand name) with the MacBook Air. Meanwhile those who don’t want to shell out AED 6k on a slim laptop have a much cheaper, and still respectably fast, alternative with the Toshiba Portege Z830.

Ultrabook Head to Head: Acer Aspire S3 vs. ASUS UX31E
Source: AnandTech English Archive.org version
We’ve now looked at three 13.3” ultrabooks, plus the MacBook Air 11 and 13, and the ASUS UX21E. I’ve also had some hands on time at a local store with a Samsung Series 9, so that covers much of the ultrabook market right now. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to see any of the Lenovo IdeaPad U300/U400 offerings or any other ultrabooks in person (yet), so I’ll have to leave them out of consideration.

In contrast to the S3, here the casing hasn’t been designed to create the impression of being in aluminium. At last, a serious competitor to the Apple MacBook Air 13.3-inch! While Asus still has a few things to perfect (battery life, audio and screen quality) to put itself on an equal footing with its competitor, the UX31E ultrabook is more powerful, has better cooling and, best of all, costs less.

Despite the price we liked it a lot. The apps look and run great, Windows 7 boots very fast and shuts down quickly, basic graphic tasks are being handled very well by the Intel HD 3000 chip and the fact that the laptop weighs next to nothing and is incredibly thin makes it worth the higher price tag. It’s main rival is the 13.3″ Macbook Pro which oddly enough starts at “just” 1299$ but we reccomend reading the whole review and decide for yourself whether the ZENBOOK is worth your bucks.

Review: Asus Zenbook UX31 ultrabook
Source: Geek.com English Archive.org version
The i5 version of the UX31, which was tested for this review is available for just under $1,000 which makes it on-par with the rest of the Ultrabook realm. When compared to the 13″ Macbook Air, the Zenbook is $300 cheaper, but given the lack of backlit keys, lower quality microphone and touchpad, and the core i5 processor over the Air’s core i7, the decrease in price is matched by the decrease in quality.

90% The Ultrabook style leader: ASUS UX31E review
Source: APC Mag English Archive.org version
One of the Intel requirements for Ultrabooks is anti-theft hardware. Used in combination with anti-theft software provided by companies such as McAfee, this hardware communicates with an Intel security server and is able to shut down and remotely lock the notebook if it's stolen. But while anti-theft technology is part of the Ultrabook spec, it's a premium service that's purchased through the notebook retailer, not Intel or ASUS.

80% Asus Zenbook UX21E review
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
We’re inclined to affirm that we do believe in love at first sight. But since that initial look was of the laptop that launched this copy, our heart does stay with the MacBook Air. Make no mistake though, the Asus UX21E Zenbook is the best copy of any Apple portable we’ve seen to date, with fantastic all-metal build and signs of the kind of attention to detail that’s rarely seen outside the Mac maker’s design labs.

70% Asus Zenbook UX21E-DH52
Source: Techreview Source English Archive.org version
It's hard to imagine a lighter, more elegant, closer-to-desktop-performance package than the Asus Zenbook UX21E-DH52. On the other hand, it's easy to imagine a better value proposition, particularly with both the Toshiba Z835-P330 and HP Folio 13 offering more spacious 13.3-inch screens; more comfortable, backlit keyboards; and lower prices with virtually equal portability (okay, you might notice the HP Folio 13's additional pound in your briefcase, but you'll never notice the Toshiba's additional four ounces). The Asus UX31-RSL8, too, gives you a lot more than the UX21E-DH52 for only $50 extra. For now, consider the UX21E-DH52 as a status symbol—about as small and as stylish as laptops get.

60% Asus Zenbook UX21E ultrabook review
Source: V3.co.uk English Archive.org version
The UX21E offers great performance at a reasonable price point of £850, with accessories included. However, it is still difficult to recommend the device to traveling business users based on the limited battery life and very poor trackpad. Business users who are considering investing in an ultrabook should be advised that the Zenbook also ships without enterprise friendly features including Intel's Core vPro technology, a Trusted Platform Module chip and fingerprint scanner. All are included in the Toshiba Portégé Z830 ultrabook together with Windows 7 Professional as standard. The Portégé is better suited to the needs of business users even though it is £300 pricier at £1,155.

87% Review Asus Zenbook UX32VD Ultrabook | Notebookcheck
Miracles happen. The first rumors about Asus' new, revised Zenbook series made some waves: Full-HD IPS displays in skinny 13" cases. Hard to believe: non-reflective display surfaces! The rumors turned out to be true, in front of us sits an Asus UX32VD, one of the first specimen of the series with the sought after display panel.

The Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD is one of the first Ultrabooks in the brave new frontier that marries typical Ultrabook specs with upgradable parts and dedicated graphics. Our advice? Wait for the second or third generation where dedicated graphics performance improves along with battery life. The NVidia GT620M doesn't offer enough graphics prowess to offset the drop in battery life and the UX32VD isn't a serious gaming machine.

One of the coolest-looking of the original generation of ultrabook laptops was the Asus Zenbook UX31E. When we knocked the original UX31 Zenbook for copying the MacBook Air without offering a significant discount, we expected the follow-up Asus ultrabook to -- like similar laptops from HP, Toshiba, and Dell -- come in at well under $1,000.

80% Asus Zenbook UX32Vd Review
Source: Maximum PC English Archive.org version
The thing is, you can get all these neat features, as well as an SSD, in the new Zenbook UX31A, for $200 less, just by forgoing the discrete graphics. And frankly, we think that if portable gaming is what you’re after, you’re better served by a small powerhouse like Origin’s Eon11-S (reviewed last month), as opposed to a rig that tries to be both an Ultrabook and a gaming machine, where one or both facets are bound to be compromised.

Asus clearly has engineers who know what they’re doing. They are interested in high-resolution displays, attractive exteriors and excellent performance. The UX32 is an engineering feat no other Ultrabook on the market can match.Unfortunately, the laptop fell short in our battery life testing. That’s a serious problem. It’s fair to assume someone buying a portable laptop expects it to offer great battery life. The UX32 is merely adequate.

Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The newest ZENBOOK UX32VD is a generally impressive Ultrabook with plenty of great reasons why you should buy it ... and at least one reason why you might want to pass. The beautiful 1080p IPS display is quite possibly the best screen on any current 13-inch notebook. The dedicated graphics mean you can play modern games or use that additional performance to accelerate graphics-intense applications like Photoshop or video editing software. In short, if ASUS fixes the SSD cache issue then the UX32VD is quite simply the best Windows-based alternative to the MacBook Air.

Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD Ultrabook Review
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
Overall, we like the Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD. Our small gripes aside, it's a strong performer with real graphics punch. The system looks great and its brushed metal chassis is classy. The backlit keyboard looks positively great in dark or low-light settings. We didn't have any trouble with heat while the system was on flat surfaces, and it didn't get uncomfortably warm during lap duty. Importantly, the UX32VD feels sturdy, despite being a very thin ultrabook.

All in all, even with a less-than-bodacious battery, the Zenbook Prime easily cops an Editors' Choice for its wonderful 1080p IPS screen, swift performance, and at least moderately game-worthy graphics. It's a premium-priced choice in the ultrabook arena, but it delivers a combination of cool design and potent productivity, especially for photo or video buffs, that'll be hard to top.

So what's the final verdict? The Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD-DB71 is a very, very good system for content creators in the field. It's light, has a brilliant 1080p screen, and is compact. A photographer will enjoy the speedy photo editing capabilities of the system, video editors will love the Core i7 power of the system, and both will find the 500GB hard drive a good thing. The system will also keep multimedia power users happy, for mostly the same reasons plus the full-sized HDMI port in such a compact laptop.

The $1,299 ASUS Zenbook Prime UX32VD is sort of a niche Ultrabook for those not satisfied with Intel's graphics performance, and on that basis it succeeds. You get the same sweet 1080p IPS screen and rich Bang & Olufsen speakers as the UX31A, and Nvidia's GeForce GT 620M GPU provides enough muscle to play some of the most demanding games (albeit at lower resolutions).

The ASUS Zenbook UX32A-DB51 may be their latest revision of the 13-inch ultrabook that corrects a number of minor issues with their first model but ends up as a whole being not much of an upgrade. The main reason is that its $999 price tag results in it actually being priced the same as the older Zenbook UX31 but with less performance from its hybrid hard drive solution and a lower resolution display.

The Zenbook VX51VZ-XB71 is a fairly large laptop. The Asus Zenbook VX51VZ-XB71 is a power user system with a higher than 1080p HD resolution display, but a lack of touch support and lackluster battery life means that this laptop is more of a semi-portable all-in-one desktop.

Essentially, the Zenbook VX51VZ-XB71 would have been a very good to excellent Windows 7 all-in-one desktop, but it leaves something to be desired as a Windows 8 laptop. Short battery life and a lack of a touch screen are major drawbacks to this power user system. If you need a higher than 1080p resolution portable PC, then systems like the Toshiba KiraBook and Editors' Choice Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Retina Display) are better choices, since both have comparable performance, plus hours more battery life.

You've got to hand it to ASUS. Its Zenbook UX51Vz delivers both beauty and power, and the addition of a high-resolution display really makes photos and games pop. However, the $2,699 price tag is fairly steep, and Windows 8 is simply not yet optimized to take advantage of Retina-like displays. We also wish this Zenbook ran a bit cooler.

The ASUS Zenbook UX301 is certainly a stylish Ultrabook that packs some very good performance. So what’s the only downside? Its price – sitting in at a cool AED 6,499. For an Ultrabook it’s certainly one that’s going to set you back a few, even though it’s capable of delivering some great performance.

The 13.3-inch stunner is slim and the topped with a Gorilla Glass 3 lid that gives it a distinct finish along with reassuring toughness. And that's high praise even before even opening this powerful laptop up. Lift the lid and the Asus logo glows up on the rear. Very cool indeed. But the big reveal is its screen, all 2560 x 1440 pixels of it - it's incredibly high resolution and looks amazing.

The Asus Zenbook UX302 is a solid addition to the Zenbook range that makes several predictable moves. We could see the updating of screen tech, the move to Haswell chips and the adopting of several recognisable Asus visual traits a mile off. We’re not too fussed about the flashy glass top, but it was one way to ensure it didn’t look exactly like last year’s models.

Asus Zenbook UX32LN-R4029H

If low graphic ultrabooks have been reason why you don't have an ultrabook, fret no more. The Asus Zenbook UX32LN offers the same mobility as other ultrabooks without compromising on the graphics quality. The Asus Zenbook UX32LN is powered by an Intel Core i5 processor with integrated Intel HD 4400 graphics card. Aside from that, the Asus Zenbook UX32LN also houses an Nvidia GT 840M graphic card for even better visual rendering.

The unit itself is only 18 mm thick and weighs only 3.2 pounds (1.45 kg), making it very mobile and light despite housing those specifications. The 13.3 incher provides a wide enough screen and offers a pixel resolution of 1920 by 1080. With all of these combined, the Asus Zenbook UX32LN is without question the best graphical 13 inch ultrabook out there.

Besides its graphical prowess, the Asus Zenbook UX32LN has all the basic connectivity features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, Ethernet port and sufficient USB ports. However, the downside of this laptop is that the battery life is rather average. It is only able to last 7 hours with normal usage, at most.

All in all, the Asus Zenbook UX32LN is a great choice for gamers who want to use an ultrabook for gaming.

Asus ZenBook UX305FA-FB003H

The Asus ZenBook UX305 is claimed to be the world's thinnest 13 inch QHD+ ultrabook and it does so beautifully. The cover has a gorgeous circular polished look which has always been the ZenBook’s trademark. There are two colors to choose from; Obsidian Stone and Ceramic Alloy. Both are stunningly eye pleasing and look sophisticated. The Asus ZenBook UX305 comes with two 13 inch display options to choose from. First there is a multi-touch capable QHD+ model with LED backlit. This is the best display model with superb clarity and colors. The less expensive option is the FHD variant, also LED backlit and optional multi-touch support. Hardware comes in the form of an Intel Core M processor, either 4 GB or 8 GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 5300 and up to 256 GB SSD for storage. Audio quality is excellent with ASUS SonicMaster Premium technology driving the Bang & OlufsenICEpower speakers. Other features include Bluetooth 4.0, high quality microphone, 3 USB 3.0 ports, a micro HDMI out and a micro SD card slot which is unusual for an ultrabook. The Windows 8.1 system comes with a front-facing HD webcam and a 45Wh Li-Polymer battery.

Slimline. How much flatter does it get? The Core M is at its best, with 12 millimeters in an airless case. The performance lags behind the Haswell competitors, and the Zenbook inspires no wonder in terms of battery life. Still, input devices, workmanship, emissions, and (last but not least) the price argue in favor of purchase.
Asus ZenBook UX305: With Windows 10, it suddenly makes perfect sense
Source: Reg Hardware English Archive.org version
Asus is pitching the UX305 as a Windows competitor to the admittedly more powerful MacBook Air. And it’s done a good job. The Asus machine is cheaper, slimmer, lighter, more stylish and has more in the way of ports. Even if you set those qualities at nought the impressive display and even more impressive battery life make it worth serious consideration. And now that Windows 10 has ousted 8/8.1 it no longer feels like it ought to have a touchscreen.

We like the screen and the typing experience mostly, and love the convenience of the multiple USB ports on such a portable body. There are periods when the performance might be a little sluggish (as it was for us when we loaded some Flash-heavy Web sites), but it’s not a laptop that’s design for loads of processing; just use it for simple stuff, be mindful of things that can slow it down, and you’ll be fine.

80% Asus Zenbook UX305 review: King of the mid-range
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
The Asus Zenbook UX305 is certainly in the running for king of the mid-range laptops. Of course there are more powerful and feature-heavy laptops out there, but at this £649 price point, with its Full HD 13.3-inch screen, metal build, full size keyboard, silent operation and super-slim build, it's hard to fault. It's the pernickety things that hold it back from perfection: we'd like a backlit keyboard and a touchscreen wouldn't go amiss.

We like the screen and the typing experience mostly, and love the convenience of the multiple USB ports on such a portable body. There are periods when the performance might be a little sluggish (as it was for us when we loaded some Flash-heavy Web sites), but it’s not a laptop that’s design for loads of processing; just use it for simple stuff, be mindful of things that can slow it down, and you’ll be fine.

80% Asus Zenbook UX305 review: King of the mid-range
Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
The Asus Zenbook UX305 is certainly in the running for king of the mid-range laptops. Of course there are more powerful and feature-heavy laptops out there, but at this £649 price point, with its Full HD 13.3-inch screen, metal build, full size keyboard, silent operation and super-slim build, it's hard to fault. It's the pernickety things that hold it back from perfection: we'd like a backlit keyboard and a touchscreen wouldn't go amiss. But then we'd also like to maintain the price point too, so in the balance of things we think Asus has made a good judgement call with the UK specification of the UX305.

Testing: Asus Zenbook UX305 Laptop
Source: Tested English Archive.org version
Despite the lack of a touchscreen and mediocre trackpad, I really like the Zenbook UX305. I'm able to do almost everything I need to on a daily basis with it, either as a travel computer or a workstation plugged into an external display and accessories. This is the kind of computer that Core-M was meant for: the ability to sustain moderate workloads over a long period of time, at a ridiculously good price tag. 1080p is an appropriate resolution for the hardware, so I'd even stay away from the $1000 model with a 3200x1800 resolution touchscreen.

100% Asus Zenbook UX305 review - A worthy MacBook alternative
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
The premium feeling yet reasonably-priced Zenbook UX305 is a great success. It doesn't tick every box - the screen isn't perfect and there are a couple of rough edges, but if you're looking for a nippy laptop for under £700, it’s a great choice. It's cheaper than the current MacBook Air, has more RAM and a thinner design, and it also has a higher resolution screen. With that said, it still comes with Windows 8.1, which might be enough to put a few buyers off. Still, in terms of sheer value-for-money, the Zenbook UX305 is superb. If the Asus Zenbook UX305 isn't for you, take a look at our Best Laptops 2015 guide to find a better fit for your needs.

Somehow Asus has produced a laptop that feels like it could sell for almost a grand while charging just £650 for the privilege. It's not a heatsink-melting powerhouse, and it doesn't have a keyboard backlight. But as it aces virtually every other aspect of its design, it's sure to be remembered as one of 2015's best laptops.

The Asus Zenbook UX305 is an affordable portable ultrabook that almost feels like a no-compromise machine.

ASUS ZenBook UX305 review – smart, elegant and well-priced fanless ultrabook
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
It’s actually really hard to think of something that we didn’t like about the device. The ASUS ZenBook UX305 is everything what a traveler or businessman would want. It’s lightweight, sturdy, durable, premium materials are used for the making of the ultrabook, it has a great keyboard and delightful touchpad, and the screen is just ideal. The panel used in this device is high-quality material – high contrast, high resolution, 97% sRGB color gamut coverage and high maximum brightness. Also, the display isn’t harmful to your eyes if you use it over 25% brightness.

Asus ZenBook UX305 vs. Dell XPS 13: Thin, light and powerful
Source: Computerworld.com English Archive.org version
While the $700 Asus ZenBook UX305 is very capable and a good bargain, it can't measure up to the Dell XPS 13's performance and smaller size. True, the ZenBook has a better assortment of ports, twice as much RAM and storage space, and a three-year warranty, but it has nothing that can compare to the Dell's more than 11-hour battery life.

The only downsides are the quiet speakers and the lack of a keyboard backlight. Have more to spend?

What this comes down to is a major breakthrough in price for an ultrabook. I thought Dell's XPS 13 2015, with its $799 price was a big breakthrough (and it is), but you give up in RAM and storage to get to $800. The same goes with Apple's MacBook Air 11, which has a tiny, low-res screen and, like the Dell, a limited 128GB of storage and 4GB of RAM.

Asus ZenBook UX303LN-R4215H

The Asus ZenBook UX303LN-R4215H is the latest of the ultrabook subtype which only comes with the most vital parts of a laptop in a case as slim as possible. It has a beautiful color called "Smoky Brown" by Asus. The entire external body is made completely out of aluminium, which means the ultrabook will maintain its toughness while being as light as possible.

The Asus Zenbook also comes with a 13.3 inch IPS touchscreen, with a rather high resolution of 3200 x 1800 pixels. While it looks great especially on Windows 8, fonts or buttons will appear noticeably smaller in several third party programs with the unconventionally high resolution.

It is not surprising that the Asus Zenbook's hardware packs a punch. With a i7 processor, 12 GB RAM and one of the latest Nvidia 840M graphics card, it is hardly believable that such a slim and light laptop comes with hardware close to a gaming laptop's. Regardless whether playing games or rendering multimedia content, the Zenbook UX303LN takes on all challenges. If the current specifications proves insufficient, it is easy to upgrade the laptop as well.

This is a fine Ultrabook overall, and that’s mostly to do with its solid build quality, comfortable keyboard, rich screen, and good all-round performance. It has three USB 3.0 ports and a full-sized HDMI port, which are nice touches, and you even get mini DisplayPort and a full-sized SD card reader (though SD cards won’t sit all the way inside the slot).

Asus continues to impress us with their extremely attractive, well put together and continually evolving Ultrabooks. The Zenbook UX303 is certainly their best effort yet, with a chic metal casing, very good backlit keyboard, pleasing IPS full HD display and upgradable components. The UX303LN is an engineering feat: it fits midrange integrated graphics into a slim and light chassis, with a big enough fan to keep throttling under control.

This laptop is not for demanding users. On the other hand, it has an ultra-lightweight construction, top-notch QHD+ screen (there are still few similar models available), good configuration, and in the end, attractive and high build quality. Is it all worth over 1050 Euros? If it is important for you not to feel the laptop in your bag when you wear it, and your work or fun do not include some demanding applications, the answer is yes.
Positive: Extremely attractive design, high quality production, aluminum construction; excellent display; compact size and lightweight; good sound; solid performance; great autonomy.

Source: PC Pro English Archive.org version
As expected, Intel’s new Broadwell Core i7 doesn’t rewrite the rulebook, certainly not in performance terms. However, its improved efficiency, coupled with Asus’ budget-conscious specification, means this first outing is far more positive than negative, and at £700 inc VAT, the Zenbook UX303LA represents superb value.

ASUS ZENBOOK UX303LN review – a heavily armed beauty
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
ZenBook UX303LN is a computer which has cleverly balanced thin design and high-class components, as far as possible, without causing a negative effect of the internal and external temperatures. The Core i7 CPU and the GeForce 840M GPU are capable of almost any task, excluding/except for the newest, highly intensive 3D games. The IPS panel has ultra-high resolution, which is a great plus if you don’t happen to stumble upon unoptimized software, whose graphic elements are absolute-sized, and without scaling its physical dimensions on the screen are small enough to make you stare from 10-15 cm, trying to understand what is written on the menus or on the buttons. On the other hand, the display’s sRGB coverage, brightness and viewing angles are very good for a laptop. A problem is the presence of PWM, although the same have a high frequency.

A functional but unspectacular ultrabook, the ZenBook UX305's strengths lie in superior portability and competitive price rather than performance or enterprise features. As such, it's a decent choice for home and office users who want an affordable desktop replacement or notebook upgrade. As is often the way, however, the pursuit of a lower price has resulted in a number of compromises, most notably to the CPU and SSD.

Asus ZenBook UX303LN-R4359H

Sophisticated, thin and lightweight, the Asus ZenBook UX303LN-R4359H certainly adds a layer of elegance to the powerful hardware features. The entire device is finished in a beautiful Smoky Brown color scheme and the fully metal chassis only further highlights the almost jewellery-like classiness. Simplistic yet artistic, the Asus ZenBook UX303LN-R4359H has a spun-metal pattern on lid that has a timeless look. Looks aside, the laptop comes with a capable Intel Core i5 4210U processor, up to 8 GB DDR3L RAM, a NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M with 2 GB DDR3 VRAM and runs the Windows 8.1 operating system. The 13.3 16:9 FHD display is compact enough and still allows for an immersive and productive canvas to work on. Users can select from a wide range of on-board storage options from a 155 GB SSD to a 256 GB SSD. The Asus ZenBook UX303LN-R4359H weighs only 1.05 kg, but it comes equipped with three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI out, a mini DisplayPort, an SD card reader and an HD webcam. Audio quality is also good with the build-in stereo speakers by SonicMaster and tuned with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower technology. The Asus ZenBook UX303LN-R4359H is a perfect all-day portable laptop and packs in a 3-cell Polymer battery.

Asus UX305FA-FB041H

The Asus UX305FA-FB041H is an elegant looking machine that feels solid in hand. Despite its relatively light weight of 1.2 kg, the Asus UX305FA-FB041H has a metal chassis with curved edges and a sturdy lid. The lid shows Asus's concentric circle texture and the Asus branding in shiny silver. There is a tile-style keyboard and a comfortable touchpad enabling responsive UI navigation. The Windows 8.1 laptop comes with an Intel Core M 5Y10 processor, up to 8 GB LPDDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM, an integrated Intel HD Graphics 5300 GPU and an internal storage of up to 512 GB in the form of an SSD. The Asus UX305FA-FB041H's 13.3 inch IPS FHD panel does a good job and delivers vivid colors and sharp details. Other features are three USB 3.0 ports, a micro HDMI out, a SD card reader and a HD 720p CMOS webcam. Audio quality is impressive with a stereo setup powered by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower and RealTek technologies. Asus has implemented several security features such as HDD User Password Protection and Intel's Anti-theft feature. The Asus UX305FA-FB041H comes with a 45 Wh Polymer battery providing a decent amount of runtime.

The time you read this review, an aspect of it will already be out of date, because we reviewed it with Windows 8 on-board, an operating system that worked fine without touch, but which was skewed better for machines with it. Unfortunately, the UX305 doesn’t have touch, at least not the version we’ve been able to check out, and while that would be a bit of a concern for Windows 8, Windows 10 should have no problems with it whatsoever.

It is only when we consider a recently reviewed competitor – PCSpecialist’s Lafité Ultrabook – that the UX305 seems less appealing. Lafité packs in more power thanks to a Broadwell-U i3, has more storage capacity, and is only just heavier at 1.4kg and only just thicker at 18mm. Perhaps most importantly, it is £150 cheaper.

100% Asus Zenbook UX305 review - A worthy MacBook alternative
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
The premium feeling yet reasonably-priced Zenbook UX305 is a great success. It doesn't tick every box - the screen isn't perfect and there are a couple of rough edges, but if you're looking for a nippy laptop for under £700, it’s a great choice. It's cheaper than the current MacBook Air, has more RAM and a thinner design, and it also has a higher resolution screen. With that said, it still comes with Windows 8.1, which might be enough to put a few buyers off. Still, in terms of sheer value-for-money, the Zenbook UX305 is superb. If the Asus Zenbook UX305 isn't for you, take a look at our Best Laptops 2015 guide to find a better fit for your needs.

Intel may have switched its marketing dollars to laptop/tablet hybrids, but there's still a lot of value to be found among lightweight ultrabooks. Until now, we probably would have steered shoppers to the base (1080p non-touch) model of Dell's XPS 13, which is $799 with a Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. But for Asus to offer double the memory and storage for $100 less is remarkable.

Asus Zenbook UX305LA-FC012H

The beautifully crafted Asus Zenbook UX305LA certainly carries the Zenbook line's good look and capability. The high quality craftsmanship is apparent in the slimness, weight and performance category. The device is available in two designs; an Aurora metallic finish mimicking an almost pebble-like texture and a Obsidian Stone finish with the classic spun-metal pattern on the lid. Design is elegantly highlighted with a diamond-cut pattern around the circumference and edges are nicely rounded off. The Asus Zenbook UX305LA has a few specification variants, and the Intel Core i7 5500U processor is the most powerful choice. The maximum RAM capacity is 8 GB of LPDDR3 SDRAM and various storage capacities range from 128 GB to 512 GB SSD. There are two display options, a QHD+ or an FHD IPS panel, both share a size of 13.3 inch and an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Windows 8.1 system also comes with a 2-in-1 card reader, a HD webcam, Bluetooth 4.0, two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port and a micro HDMI out. Battery life on the Asus Zenbook UX305LA is pretty impressive with Asus claiming up to 12 hours of usage from their device.

88% Asus Zenbook UX305LA (Core i7) Subnotebook Review | Notebookcheck
Well done, Asus. Until recently, Asus has been using Core M processors in their Zenbook UX305 models. However, the manufacturer now has greater aspirations. By adding new Core i7 processors to the series, Asus hopes to compete with the MacBook Air 13. Even with its stronger CPU, the Zenbook's battery life has improved. It just goes to show that in the wrestling ring of the computer world, sometimes it is not a disadvantage for a battery to put on some weight.

All these make it one of the better devices in its class, but the lack of a backlit keyboard, the limited IO and even the lack of a touchscreen option could steer some of you away.

Asus Zenbook UX303LB-R4079H

The Asus Zenbook UX303LB-R4079H comes with an improved graphics adapter compared to its Zenbook UX303LN-R4274H predecessor, while the other specifications are similar. This new model sports the same 13.3” 1920 x 1080 IPS display, but it comes with an Nvidia GeForce 940M graphics card, enabling smoother 3D gaming experience in HD resolution with medium quality for most of the newer games in the market. Just like its predecessor, this ultrabook will appeal to users for its ability to render beautiful visuals in a compact device. Compared to Zenbook UX303LN-R4274H's i7 processor, this model's Intel Broadwell i5-5200U provides a measurable difference in performance, which is not high enough to affect daily usage. In view of the high graphics and performance it may handle, its low system noise and temperature emissions are also noteworthy features that users may take a liking to. This model delivers a decent battery life of 8 hours and 40 minutes, which makes it portable in the long-run if needed. Visual-wise, its all-aluminium sleek design provides a sophisticated vibe to the model and it comes with a stylish backlit keyboard. Other remarkable specifications include 4 GB of RAM, 256 GB of local storage, an HD web camera, three USB 3.0 ports and a pre-installed Windows 8.1 operating system with free Windows 10 upgrade.

Follow-up. The 13-inch laptop is an old acquaintance. We tested the GeForce 840M model only a few months ago. Now we are taking a quick look at the new 940M version. Has the racer turned into a rocket?

The Asus Zenbook Pro UX501J-DS71T is prime example of how premium hardware can impact the price of a system. Even a few months ago, similarly equipped laptops cost hundreds of dollars more, due in no small part to the cost of relatively rare 4K resolution displays and high-end graphics hardware. As time marches forward, technology gets more affordable, and the hardware behind high-resolution displays and high-performance CPUs ring up at a much lower price. The result is a system that not only outclasses competitors on most fronts, but is far more affordable.

ASUS ZenBook UX305F review - Thin and light ultrabook on-the-go
Source: Tech Nave English Archive.org version
I will be honest, when I first laid my hands on this device I thought it would be around RM3600 because of how great it looks in terms of finishing and build quality. So for around RM2999 this is quite a bargain, but for a home/work environment of course. I wouldn’t recommend pro-gaming on this laptop anytime soon.

100% A worthy MacBook alternative
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
The premium-feeling yet affordably-priced Zenbook UX305 is a great success in my book. While it doesn't tick every box, and you can't expect it given the price with the imperfect screen and couple of rough edges. However, if you're looking for a nippy little laptop for under £550, it’s a fantastic choice. Just a fraction of the price than the 2015 MacBook Air, the UX305 has considerably more RAM and a thinner design, and it also has a higher resolution screen too. All being said, it also comes with Windows 10, which might be enough to put off a few fans of Apple's snappy operating system. When you bring it down in terms of sheer value-for-money, the Zenbook UX305 is still a superb choice. If you feel like that Asus Zenbook UX305 isn't quite for you and want to look at your other options, take a quick look at our Best Laptop 2016 guide to see if you can find a better fit for your needs and price range.

Compact all-rounder. The latest model from Asus' Zenbook UX 303 series is once again a thin and nice 13.3-inch notebook. It has a lot of performance, but is still quiet in operation. The battery runtimes are unfortunately shorter compared to previous Zenbook models.

In keeping with the late models in the ZenBook line, the ZenBook UX305CA is an ultra-thin, well-built, and classy laptop with a decent screen, passable sound, and a workable keyboard and touch pad, all at a very attractive price. In addition, it’s light and thin enough that not only is it comfortable to use, but carrying this laptop (in a backpack, or under your arm) is little burden.

Asus UX305CA-FC037T

The Asus UX305CA-FC037T is a refreshed model of the previous UX305 ASUS ZenBook. It aims to bring the premium look of a high-end ultrabook with a sleek metal chassis and a thin and light aluminum exterior. Its 13.3 inch display features a quad HD resolution (3200 x 1800) and wide viewing angles. However, the high resolution might have a big impact on the battery life. The laptop comes with an Intel Core M Skylake processor, which is faster than the ASUS UX305CA predecessor's. You can choose between 128 GB or 512 GB SSD storage. Moreover, the UX305CA-FC037T features 4 GB or 8 GB of RAM, three USB 3.0 ports, and 802.11 AC WiFi. The Intel processor combined with smart engineering allows a fanless cooling system. Any heat produced will disperse efficiently from its chromium-copper alloy heat pipe. The full-size Chiclet keyboard makes for a solid and comfortable typing experience. The connectivity includes a microphone jack, a headphone jack, a micro HDMI port, and an SDXC slot.

80% A brilliant ultraportable laptop which will last all day away from the mains
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The Asus ZenBook UX305CA is a sensible, perhaps predictable upgrade to the UX305 we looked at last year. It has newer CPU, and a much higher-resolution screen. However, it remains a seriously portable, expensive-feeling laptop that really isn’t that expensive. That you can get this grade of machine for £600 (at the time of writing) shows that while Apple’s pricing has improved, companies like Asus still have the edge. A big, sharp, shiny edge. The Core M CPU limits the crowd of people this laptop will suit perfectly. But that it still feels fast for everyday tasks and the fact it will last all day with that kind of use makes it ideal for those who find themselves hopping between meetings or cafes as part of their daily grind. If you’re looking for something to use mostly at home, you might want look for something with a little more power and a screen with slightly higher contrast, though.

Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
There’s undoubtedly a lot to like about the ZenBook UX305CA. Its build quality and design are still excellent and the high-resolution screen is equally great. However, its performance took a puzzling step backwards and its battery life was a little disappointing. Still, considering it remains around the same price as its predecessor it’s still worthy of recommendation for those looking for a thin, light and extremely portable laptop, especially for those not looking to stretch to the Apple MacBook.

Asus had the perfect opportunity with the UX305CA to perfect what was already a superb laptop, but it has fallen some way short. This is still a good option for those seeking a slim and light laptop for two thirds' the price of a premium Ultrabook. However, the 4K screen is actually a step back from the 1080p version of last year's model, and battery life has taken a hit too. Add in the still poor touchpad and you've got a machine that's racked with compromises.

While this Skylake refresh is still short on both high-end power and internal storage, there's plenty here to justify the upgrade; in particular, the premium display and well-above-average battery life. These sizeable improvements elevate what was already a solid, supremely portable mid-range laptop, and with no corresponding rise in the price of entry, the ZenBook UX305CA is undoubtedly the definitive edition - even with the risk of some technical hiccups.

If 2015 was a break-out year for many laptop makers, 2016 so far appears to be steady as she goes. Some vendors have chosen to make tiny changes to bring laptops more in line with newer technologies such as USB-C, while others aren't making any changes beyond swapping the CPU. In the UX305's case, that's really not a bad thing. For what you get in performance, build quality, and portability, the UX305 is still easily the best budget ultrabook of the year.

You might argue that you’re paying for a slimmer device with a better design, and you would be right. Your ultimate decision depends on your needs and on whether you’re willing to spend on design and aesthetics. However, if you really want a slimmer, lighter device, the MacBook Air is cheaper and fits the bill perfectly. A more powerful device can be had for 70 percent of the price.

Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
Asus gives us two options here: the UX305 series is portable at the cost of all else, but it does a fantastic job of what it's meant to. On the other hand, the UX303 tries to give buyers both portability and power, but balanced out at the most reasonable cost possible. That kind of compromise might work for a lot of people, and it doesn't hurt at all that the UX303UB looks and feels fantastic. If you're the adventurous type, you could also swap out the UX303UB's hard drive for an SSD and bump up the RAM - even if you only think you might want an upgrade a few years down the line, at least it's possible.

Source: Digital Trends English Archive.org version
Asus’ Zenbook UX305UA is an initially confusing ultrabook. It looks similar to the UX305CA at a glance, and it appears to share some components, such as the keyboard, touchpad, and hard drive. Even the price has barely changed, rising to $750 – a mere $50 more than the UX305CA. It might seem that Asus has decided to compete with itself. Yet on close examination, it’s clear the UX305UA is a different animal.

The Asus Zenbook UX305UA packs a lot of bang for the buck. It offers about twice the performance of a model with a Core M Broadwell processor, but sells for just $50 more. Interestingly, while this model has a significantly more powerful CPU and better graphics performance, there’s no much difference in battery life. In my tests, both versions lasted for around 6 or 7 hours of typical use.

The upgraded UX305CA brings some welcome hardware and quality of life changes, including an excellent keyboard that makes typing a joy. But the head-scratching inclusion of a QHD screen hikes the price up too high to remain competitive. Stick with the 1080p version or explore alternative options.

Asus Zenbook UX305CA review
Source: It Pro English Archive.org version
The Asus UX305CA ultrabook is simply an updated model to a genuine MacBook Air replacement. It can handle word processing and web browsing with ease without getting hot; though don't expect to be doing any video rendering or high-end gaming. It features an excellent keyboard and a decent trackpad that are both very comfortable to use. But, with a QHD and some niggling cutbacks, such as the lack of a backlit keyboard, we're reluctant to recommend this ultrabook over others on the market.

The UX305CA uses one of Intel’s latest Core M processors, the m3-6Y30, which has a headline speed of 900MHz. Note there’s also a UX305UA model based on more powerful Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, so keep an eye on which you’re ordering to avoid confusion.

Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
There’s undoubtedly a lot to like about the ZenBook UX305CA. Its build quality and design are still excellent and the high-resolution screen is equally great. However, its performance took a puzzling step backwards and its battery life was a little disappointing. Still, considering it's now considerably cheaper than when we first reviewed it, it’s still worthy of recommendation for those looking for a thin, light and extremely portable laptop, especially for those not looking to stretch to the Apple MacBook.

The Asus ZenBook UX306UA is a svelte, long-lasting machine with strong specs for its $999 price. We really like the speedy Core i7 performance, aluminum design and colorful display, plus the more than 10 hours of battery life. Additionally, the Asus costs hundreds less than the HP Spectre, MacBook and comparably configured Dell XPS 13 while providing a roomier 512GB SSD.

ASUS ZenBook UX303UB review – slim and powerful
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Quite typical for ASUS’ ZenBook series, the UX303UB offers unique user experience and features that can rarely be seen in ultrabooks of this size. However, the device still leaves some room for improvement spec-wise. Firstly, the absence of an M.2 SSD slot, which would have made much more sense than the only available 2.5-inch drive. We would like to remind you that the old UX303LN laptop had the mSATA and 2.5-inch drive slot on board so it was only logical to upgrade the mSATA slot to an M.2 one. Secondly, the system can’t harness the CPU’s and GPU’s full potential.

Comment

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.


Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

NVIDIA GeForce G 105M: Higher clocked 9300M GS and therefore a bit faster. Still manufactured in 65nm. Supports Hybrid-SLI with HybridPower and GeForceBoost (in conjunction with the right Nvidia chipset).

Intel HD Graphics 3000: Integrated graphics card in the Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Core ix-2xxx). The HD 3000 is the faster (internally GT2 called) version with 12 Execution Units (EUs).

Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge): Processor graphics card which is integrated in the Sandy Bridge Pentium and Celeron processors. Similar to the desktop HD Graphics 2000 and not related to the old Arrandale processor graphics with the same name.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M:

Based on either the older 40nm GF108 chip or the newer 28nm GF117 Fermi die shrink. In either case, the 620M is most similar to a GT 525M and comes without dedicated display ports. Consequently, the GPU can only be used in conjunction with Optimus. 

Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.

Intel Iris Graphics 5100:

Integrated GPU (GT3) with 40 EUs (sans eDRAM) as found on certain ULV Haswell CPUs. Second fastest GPU in its family.

Intel HD Graphics 4400:

ULV integrated GPU (GT2) with 20 EUs found on certain Haswell CPU models.

Intel HD Graphics 5300: Integrated graphics card (GT2) in Core M processors from the Broadwell Y-series (4.5 W TDP). 

Intel HD Graphics 5500: Integrated graphics card (GT2) in the Core processors of the Broadwell U-series (15 W TDP). 

Intel HD Graphics 515: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on Core-m-CPUs of the Skylake generation (4,5 W TDP).

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M: A mid-range GPU and the fastest GeForce GT as part of the 600M series

NVIDIA GeForce GT 645M: Higher clocked GeForce GT 640M.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M:

Rebranded GeForce GT 645M/640M with minimal improvements to power consumption. Can also be based on the slower GK208 chip (only 64 bit memory interface).

NVIDIA GeForce 840M:

Mid-range graphics card from the GeForce 800M series based on the Maxwell architecture.

NVIDIA GeForce 940M: Mid-range graphics card of the GeForce 900M series, based on the Maxwell architecture.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M: Upper mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GTX 900M series.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

NVIDIA GeForce 940MX: Mid-range laptop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. Compared to the older 940M, the MX now also supports GDDR5 graphics memory and maybe slightly faster clock speeds.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core 2 Solo:

SU3500: Power efficient single core processor for small subnotebooks that is based on the Penryn core and includes all features (like Virtualization, C6 state, ...). The performance should be comparable with a 1.7 GHz Athlon II Neo K125.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

2677M: Power saving ULV processor clocked at 1.8-2.9 GHz due to Turbo Boost. Offers an integrated HD 3000 clocked at slow 350 / 1200 MHz and a DDR3-1333 memory controller.

3517U: Fast Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.9 - 3.0 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1150 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.

3612QM: An Ivy Bridge-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.1 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.1 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4000 GPU running at 650-1100 MHz on a dual channel DDR3 memory controller. The speciality of the i7-3612QM is the low TDP of 35 Watt compared to 45 Watt of the other Ivy Bridge quad core CPUs (e.g. 3610QM).

3632QM: An Ivy Bridge-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.2 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.2 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4000 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller. The speciality of the i7-3632QM is the low TDP of 35 Watt compared to 45 Watt of the other Ivy Bridge quad core CPUs (e.g. 3610QM).

4500U:

Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.8 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.0 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

4510U: Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.1 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

5500U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

4720HQ: Haswell-based quad-core processor clocked at 2.6 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.6 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.

6500U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

Intel Core i5:

2557M: Power saving ULV processor clocked at 1.7-2.7 GHz due to Turbo Boost. Offers an integrated HD 3000 clocked at slow 350 / 1200 MHz and a DDR3-1333 memory controller.

2467M: Power saving ULV processor clocked at 1.6-2.3 GHz due to Turbo boost. Offers an integrated HD 3000 clocked at slow 350 / 1150 MHz and a DDR3-1333 memory controller.

2537M: Power saving ULV processor clocked at 1.4-2.3 GHz due to Turbo boost. Offers an integrated HD 3000 clocked at slow 350 / 900 MHz and a DDR3-1333 memory controller.

13.00:

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.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

2.6 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.


81.71%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
