  • beautiful and sturdy built, packs a great matte display, fanless hardware, fast enough for basic everyday use, EXCELLENT price
  • the keyboard is not backlit, can get hot, somewhat slow WiFi when not in close proximity of a router, only average battery life
  • If you're looking for a sleek and well built 13 inch ultraportable for light everyday activities, the Asus Zenbook UX305 could be the one for you. It's extremely competitive priced, as it starts at $699 for a solid configuration, it's very sleek, packs an...

  • The new ZenBook is a great home for Intel's new Core M processor, which proved up to basic daily tasks in Windows with no obvious lag in the interface. Good battery life and decent screen quality are further plus points to a well-made case with a familiar...

  • Performance is compromised, Trackpad isn't the best, No keyboard backlighting
  • The Asus UX305 is almost perfection in affordable ultra-portable laptops. Its stylish, well built, incredibly light and has a screen, keybaord and battery life to rival the best. All for under £650. A tiny slip-up with the trackpad and a definite comprom...

  • great battery life, very thin, absurdly light
  • Finish could be better
  • Asus unveiled the UX305, its newest flagship laptop at IFA 2014 this week. The device, it claims, is the world's thinnest 13-in QHD+ ultrabook, giving it one of the highest pixel densities of any computers on the market. It faces competition from the Leno...

  • It's not coming out until next year, and has no price as yet, so the question is should you be excited by this? Yes, but expect rivals. We're bound to see more Intel Core M laptops in the coming months, and we wager Apple can't be far away from a similar...

  • Great specs for the price, Core m offers reasonable office performance
  • No USB-C port for charging or external display, Keys aren't backlit
  • If 2015 was a break-out year for many laptop makers, 2016 so far appears to be steady as she goes. Some vendors have chosen to make tiny changes to bring laptops more in line with newer technologies such as USB-C, while others aren't making any change...

  • Usually we'd have filled the intervening pages with our usual array of graphs, but there are two sensible reasons why we haven't done so here. Firstly the Zenbook UX305 doesn't really match up to anything we've previously tested, and results in a vacuum a...
