Zenbook is lightweight and every part of its build feels durable and-well designed, save the one wobbly foot, Screen has decent viewing angles, 20 second startup/instant wake from sleep lives up to expectations, Excellent performance from the internal con
Uneven lighting in display, Battery life is lackluster, is resilient even under moderately heavy workloads, Speakers are tinny and with distorted sound at high volumes, Ugly, Trackpad with multitouch is poorly executed, makes us curse violently, out loud,
The Asus Zenbook is a worthy premium notebook in many ways. Performance, weight, and form factor are great, the keyboard is fine, and the Zenbook has a sufficient number of ports. Even better, the Zenbook models beat the MacBook Airs on price. The Zen...
Highly portable, Strong and fast performance, Gorgeous polished-aluminum case, Superb audio system
No memory-card slots, Keyboard a little shallow, and lacks backlighting, Slightly less-than-vivid color reproduction
This sleek and modern-looking ultrabook is an impressive, MacBook Air-style thin wonder. It will make an excellent travel companion for anyone demanding power and extreme portability. ...
Low weight and slim case, Stiff & high quality aluminum case, Good input devices, Very good application performance, Extremely fast SSD, Very bright screen
Few interfaces, Reflective screen, Poor colors, viewing angles, RAM & battery built-in permanently, Short battery life of less than four hours, Very loud during load
The Asus Zenbook UX21E-KX008V (RRP 1099€) enters the stage with a bang. The application performance is very good thanks to a fast ADATA SSD. Except for the low gaming performance, users won't notice a difference to a conventional desktop or notebook. Quit...
Gorgeous good looks, Exceptional build quality, Light as a 2.4lb feather, Top-shelf ultra-low power components, Solid battery life, Great performance
No DVI or HDMI output, No backlit keyboard, Key cap travel is a bit shallow, takes getting use to
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...
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...
Abstract: Intel's new thin-and-light notebooks could change the mobile computing if things go as Intel has planned. The new Ultrabook segment is being shown in force at IDF 2011 and we managed to spend some time with an ASUS UX21 Ultrabook that was lightweigh...
Extremely pretty, likely to be a subject of envy amongst colleagues and friends alike, Sandforce SSD drive screams, Sound is great for the form factor, All the way up to Core i7 performance
Poor keyboard drops letters frequently, Erratic touchpad, Screen has very shallow vertical viewing angles, Rear of the notebook gets very hot under load
For so much promise, the ZenBook UX21 falls tragically short at one of the most important factors: human interaction. The touchpad, screen and keyboard make this one product you'll want to pass by — no matter how pretty it is.

Abstract: For the last few months Intel has been marketing the Ultrabook brand as a fast, sleek and light version of full laptops. Unlike the subpowered and underwhelming "netbook" rage underpowered, Ultrabooks are actually running energy efficient versions of I...
