The good: The Asus Zenbook UX31E elegant original features, excellent sound speakers, a high-resolution screen than the MacBook Air, and a better price by almost identical specifications.
The bad: The keyboard and touchpad are the weak points and is as thin laptops out there with greater autonomy.
The bottom line: The Asus Zenbook UX31E is a great aspect of notebook Windows Ultrabook that matches the MacBook Air step for step with an even better price. Fans of the excellent sound, high resolution shows many fans will be delighted to ports on the keyboard / touchpad will be disappointed.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the MacBook Air is positively blushing around the corner now. A sudden attack of ultra-Books - Intel's term for the thin, the MacBook Air-esque Windows laptop with an early start, and an elegant, high-end models - have been hit just in time for the holidays, and very aggressive the ones we saw the Asus Zenbook, a product that does not shy away from an Apple similar to any design. It's not a bad thing: those who want a thin, lightweight and portable metal unibody, from fast and has good battery life?.
Cheaper, that is the best, I disagree. Excellent speakers, sleek design and a high resolution display is accompanied by a whimsical keyboard and a touchpad, giving the sensation remains poorly-off when working in Zenbook. It feels like the opposite of the experience of a silken MacBook Air. Battery life is a noble air short number, too. Nearly five hours, is not in bad shape, but not a leader in the industry.
These are some minor issues to what a laptop is very thin solid and impressive, but at a price north of $ 1000, these questions are that no one would pay attention. The 13-inch UX31 Zenbook becomes more expensive 256 GB SSD and Core i7 configurations, increasing to $ 1,449 in its higher price. If I had to buy a Zenbook, I stay with our model of U.S. $ 1099 and live with limitations, happy to have had a similar MacBook Air that has saved me some money along the way. If your idea of ??a Ultrabook is a Windows version of a MacBook Air with a slightly lower price, then consider your product Zenbook warned that only the keyboard, touchpad and battery life are less impressive bells audio / visual and whistles.
Take the Asus Zenbook the casket shaped packaging, and you might think you accidentally bought a MacBook Air. The experience is the same, to the square of plastic wall charger with removable top. Zenbook, aluminum, like the unibody MacBook Air is darker than the brilliance of its back cover and HeFT which makes it almost feel more like magnesium or steel. Radial lines of metal on the back caught the light and give flavor Zenbook industrial design. Inside, brushed metal surfaces and thin vertical. Brushed metal on the bottom is only a pause rear speaker grill, and four black rubber feet.
The teardrop shape of the bladelike Zenbook remains folded up like a MacBook Air, but is a little bulb: its 0.71 inch maximum thickness is cleverly hidden, but I could not tell the difference when 'I went into a bag courier. Weighing 3.1 pounds is still light, but is slightly heavier than the MacBook Air, S3 Acer, Lenovo IdeaPad U300 y.
Ports line the sides of the Zenbook UX31, like the MacBook Air. USB, SD card slot and a headset line on the left, while a line of USB 3.0, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI and mic on the right. No Ethernet connection, but Asus includes a USB-Ethernet adapter and VGA Zenbook with a pretty brunette, nylon sleeve style mailing to protect your investment.
