Asus Zenbook UX331U Review
Source: The Mobile Indian English Archive.org version
The Asus ZenBook 13 UX331U has more ticks then cross. The major highlight of this laptop is its lightweight and slim profile, which makes it an ideal choice for those are always on the move. The performance of the device is quite impressive and you will not face much trouble during those painstakingly long typing sessions. The trackpad could have a bit better and same can be said for the sound. Overall, if you are one of those who are looking for a slim, lightweight laptop with some respectable specs then this can be considered as a good option.

75% Lighter than Air- Asus UX331UAL
Source: The Techy English Archive.org version
I’m impressed that ASUS came this close to perfection. Thanks to its all-magnesium design, this ultrabook is lightweight and compact – making it very useful for travel and presentations. Don’t forget this ultrabook performs well, offers good battery life and packs a great keyboard and trackpad.

80% Asus ZenBook 13 UX331U review: Slim and stylish performer
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
After using the ZenBook 13, I am sure of one thing: this laptop is an ideal choice for those who have a lot to write, like myself, and are constantly on the move. At 13.9mm thick and weighing at 1.12kg, the ZenBook 13 is also fairly powerful — which makes it a dependable machine at the end of the day. For me, the ZenBook 13 strikes a balance between the size and performance and that really matters in this post-PC era. Asus ZenBook 13 is not perfect (no laptop is), but it is still impressive for being so slim and light, while also packing enough power.
