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 noug...
Incredibly thin and light, Core M and an SSD work well together, Silent operation, Impressive battery life
Lafité is available for £150 less, No Ethernet port, Only 80GB SSD storage after Windows is installed
Taken on its own, the Asus UX305 is a superb Ultrabook. It offers fantastic build quality, with the 1.2kg weight and 12mm thickness being the clear standout aspects of the design. It is simply a gorgeous laptop. The UX305 is not just about appearances, th...
Thin and lightweight, great keyboard, lots of ports, cheap for an ultrabook
Uninspiring performance, small SSD, ugly anti-glare coating
Well-built, affordable and boasting a long battery life, the ZenBook UX305 has a lot to offer casual users. However, limited processing power and a general lack of enterprise-friendly features cause it to fall just short of its potential...

Metal build quality, super-slim design (more so than a MacBook Air), decent screen for a balanced price point, ample performance for the price
No backlit keyboard, no touchscreen, fiddly to open, lacks power of pricier models (as expected), no MS Office
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 keyb...

Abstract: For a lot of people, when they hear the term “ultrabook” they think of Asus's ZenBook line. When the ZenBook UX301 launched it joined the ranks of Windows alternatives to compete with Apple's MacBook Air . Although Asus recently released a true successor ...
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 lit...
Great screen, Top value, Good battery life, Fetching design
Weak speakers, No keyboard backlight, Not terribly powerful
Asus has hit it out of the park with the ZenBook UX305. It's as slim and good-looking as a 13in Apple MacBook Air, possesses as good a display as any £1000 laptop and even sports a good array of connections. Somehow Asus has produced a laptop that feels ...
Featherweight and super slim, Outstanding keyboard, High contrast, glare-free 1080p display, Very affordable
Modest performance
Asus' Zenbook UX305 reaffirms the brand's position as the premier building of budget ultrabooks. A mere $700 will snag you a lightweight system with a solid 1080p display, class-leading keyboard and twice the hard drive capacity found in most competitors...
