  • ASUS has crafted an elegant experience with the UX305. The body is a sleek creation of aluminum, the device is very thin, and at 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) in weight, it is very portable. The UX305 could easily be mistaken for a device which costs far more than its...

  • Sleek all-aluminum design, Great keyboard and touchpad design, Thin profile and lightweight chassis, Flawless screen, Fanless, quiet cooling system, Great price
  • Underwhelming battery life, Lacks keyboard backlight, So-so CPU performance
  • It's actually really hard to think of something that we didn't like about the device. The ASUS ZenBook UX305 is everything what a traveler or businessman would want. It's lightweight, sturdy, durable, premium materials are used for the making of the ultra...

  • Abstract:  If Apple's new 12-in. Retina MacBook is any indication, the laptop is no longer considered an endangered species -- as long as it's slim and lightweight. However, while the new MacBook is extraordinarily portable and comes with an impressive display, it's...

  • Bottom line—for $699 this is a bad-ass machine. I made my living for almost three years on an 11-inch MacBook Air that I loved. In both form and function the Asus Zenbook UX305 ultrabook is as good or better than the MacBook Air. The UX305 also costs $200...

  • Quiet speakers, No backlit keyboard, Webcam has poor white balance
  • The ZenBook UX305 stuns with a gorgeous all-aluminum body, a thin, fanless design, and 9-plus hours of battery life -- all for just $699....

  Published: 2015-03-01, Author: Lisa , review by: mobiletechreview.com

  • Low price for a stylish and classy notebook with plenty of ports despite slim design. Ample RAM and storage. Nice matte IPS display
  • No touch screen, keyboard isn't backlit, Intel Core M is slower than Core i series
  • Asus is that company that delivers a classy looking product for less money, and this time they've outdone themselves with a really sexy looking Ultrabook that's priced several hundred dollars below the competition. That is, as long as you like deep plum l...

  • Surprisingly affordable
  • Core M can lag in performance
  • The best deal in townWhat this comes down to is a major breakthrough in price for an ultrabook. I thought Dell's XPS 13 2015, with its $799 price was a big breakthrough (and it is), but you give up in RAM and storage to get to $800. The same goes with A...

  Published: 2015-02-18, Author: Daniel , review by: yahoo.com

  • Abstract:  Outside of Apple, Asus easily makes some of the most attractive laptops on the market. As with its predecessors, the Zenbook UX305's cover features a large ASUS logo ringed by a series of concentric circles. It's a beautiful design that gives the laptop a...

  • Excellent battery life, Thin, wellbuilt chassis, Completely quiet—there's no fan or spinning HD
  • Keyboard is not backlit
  • As we noted early on in this article, we didn't expect the Asus Zenbook UX305 to be a benchmark-burning powerhouse of a system. It has moderate, but still very respectable specifications. Because it's not a powerhouse system, it also has a relatively affo...

  • Abstract:  Despite how far smartphones have come in the last eight-odd years, as productivity devices, they're still a little too restricted to get serious work done. They're undoubtedly fine for quick tasks like replying to emails and scheduling appointments, but...
