  • Excellent raised keyboard and trackpad, Extremely thin and light, with a pleasing design, Three USB 3.0 ports
  • QHD screen feels like overkill, unimpressive battery life, no keyboard backlight, high price for the spec
  • 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...

  • Stylish, thin and light, High-resolution 13.3in display, Silent, fanless design, Comfortable keyboard, Three USB 3.0 ports, Available for under £600
  • Touchscreen upgrade is pricey, Throttles during taxing workloads, Pesky bloatware
  • The Asus UX305CA is a very likeable laptop that doesn't break the bank. Currently available for under £600, this 13.3in machine offers a full Windows 10 experience in an ultra-thin, highly-portable form factor that looks and feels more expensive than it i...

  • 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 disapp...

  • Power button is too close to DEL/backspace, 128GB SSD doesn't offer much space
  • The UX305CA confirms how far Ultrabooks have come in recent years. Though we're dealing with extremely tight dimensions and lightweight construction, we're still able to home in on great hardware specifications; these factors do not impede mobile capabili...

  • Easy to set-up and use, Great battery life, Touchscreen display is sharp, clear and responsive, Great size and shape for carrying around with you on the go, Sleek and stylish design, Mid-range powered machine
  • Audio is a little weak and lacks bass, Keyboard is not backlit, Lacks a CD/DVD drive
  • The Asus Zenbook UX305CA is a good mid-range laptop that's stylish and light enough to carry around with you on the go. Not the fastest of machines we've tested but it performs well when using Office software, basic Photoshop tasks, and it even offers gre...

  • 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 expen...

  • High-resolution screen unnecessary, Battery life on model tested is mediocre, Touchpad isn't very good, High-end model isn't worth the money
  • Asus UX305CA – Performance The addition of Intel's new Skylake-based Core M processor to this machine has made quite a difference to its performance. While it still trails most other Ultrabooks, I recorded a noticeable 36% jump in the Cinebench R15 benchm...

  • 3200x1800 display, great battery life, enhanced performance, super-slim, good value
  • Small SSD, not ideal for the most demanding tasks
  • 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...

  • 3200x1800 display, great battery life, enhanced performance, super-slim, good value,
  • Small SSD, lots of bloatware, not ideal for the most demanding tasks
  • Asus upgrades much more than just the processor in this Skylake refresh of one of 2015's best mid-range laptops. It's still not perfect but the new QHD+ display, Windows 10 OS and an even wider range of ports make for an highly tempting ultraportable...
