  • The Asus Zenbook UX31A represents an incremental evolution over the original UX31E, but the improvements are welcome. The Ivy Bridge CPU and high resolution panel finally realises the potential of the sleek chassis. The touchpad is much improved, thou...

  • The Asus Zenbook UX32A has the sharp design of other Zenbooks we've reviewed, but is even slimmer
  • Other ultrabooks offer similar components for less, while spending a bit more will get you a much more full-featured Zenbook
  • Stuck between a budget model and a high-end, feature-filled model, this middle Asus Zenbook is a slim, slick ultrabook, but also a tough sell.

  • Do we like the Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A? Oh yes, in fact we love it. It has superb build quality, one of the most elegant and attractive designs on the market and that 1080p IPS display will spoil you. The MacBook Air's display will be a let down, and...

  • Gorgeously designed. Third-generation Intel Core i5 processor. Impressive 1080p display with IPS panel. WiDi.
  • Bottom Line, Although it has its shortcomings, the Asus UX31A-DB51 (Zenbook Prime) is worthy of consideration by everyday users looking to jump into the ultrabook foray thanks to its gorgeous design, portability, and eye-popping display
