The ASUS UX31E borrows the kind of stylings seen on Apple’s Macbook Air. It looks trendy and thin
Yet feels solid. This is one desirable bit of kit that any gadget fan would be proud to call their own. However its 13.3-inch screen gets one over on the MacBook Air with a higher 1600 x 900 resolution display. Look around and you’ll see you can get it at a cheaper price

The keyboard feels hit and miss. The keys don’t have as much give as some would like
But anyone would soon get used to typing on it. However the trackpad fares less favorably
And is nowhere as smooth as the glass trackpads found on the MacBook Air. Battery life is not the best. At full charge in regular use the ASUS UX31E will keep going for around 5 hours. With other laptops just as thin offer
Shallow and imprecise keyboard
Jumpy trackpad (partially fixed on the newer models)
Abstract: Product round-up It took a little while for the production lines to get going, but the first few months of 2012 have seen super-slim Ultrabooks completely outnumbering every other type of desktop or laptop PC coming our way. Intel’s tight definition o...

Minor complaints aside don’t detract from what is a powerful laptop with a great screen, sexy design and quick performance in whatever it does. At around £1,000 it’s a little on the pricey side, but as alternatives to Apple’s MacBook Air go, the ASUS U...
★★★★★ The Asus Zenbook UX31 isn’t the cheapest Ultrabook in this group, but it has the performance and features to make it good value for money. The most disappointing thing about it is its battery life, which was the sixth-longest here, lasting over ...
Attractive, thin, light, excellent build, Great value for the specs, Good usability and connectivity, High screen resolution, Generous accessories
Screen has poor viewing angles, No keyboard backlighting, Fingerprint prone
Asus' 13in Zenbook comes very close to being the ultimate Ultrabook. It sports a nice design, solid aluminium build, superb connectivity, high-resolution screen, great keyboard and touchpad, class-leading audio and premium accessories such as the stylish ...
The bad points? I don’t like the restricted viewing angle on the display, and the case doesn’t immediately snap shut when you close it in your hands - the Zenbook just gapes back open a little unless you put it on a tabletop and press the case shut f...
good looking and solid built, good HD display, excellent speakers, solid performances, proper price tag
shallow and imprecise keyboard, jumpy trackpad (partially fixed on the newer models), a bit too ostentatious for my taste
With a stylish and solid built body, the Zenbook is on of the best looking ultrabooks on the market. It's also very fast, however the screen and the keyboard did not live to our expectations, but overall the Asus UX31 is one of the best 13.3 inch ultraboo...

Poor webcam, Speakers lack power and make the chassis vibrate, Reduced connectivity, adaptors required, Low gaming capacity
At last, a serious competitor to the Apple Macbook Air 13.3-inch! While Asus still has a few things to perfect (battery life, audio and screen quality) to put itself on an equal footing with its competitor, the ultrabook UX31E is more powerful, has bet...
The Asus Zenbook UX31E is impressive. It's an excellent performer, it's attractive and light, and it plays back multimedia well. Unfortunately, its screen is off-colour and its touchpad needs more work. ...
