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)
Superb chassis design; fast processor; good screen,
Lacklustre keyboard; no way to access access battery.
It is hard not to like the Asus UX31 for its superb chassis design and top-notch processor. And while the screen is good, we felt a little bit let down by the keyboard, and we'd have liked a larger storage drive. ...

The Asus Zenbook UX31 is incredibly slim, light and great to look at. With an Intel Core i7 processor at its heart, it packs a powerful punch and still manages to undercut Apple's MacBook Air....
Abstract: The first of the Ultrabooks is a lithe laptop with power and stamina, but the ergonomics aren’t quite there Intel’s thin-and-light Ultrabook concept has been gathering steam over the past few months, with a whole host of players looking to take on Appl...
There's no doubt that the Zenbook looks and feels great and has the advantage of a high-resolution screen. It's no MacBook Air-killer though. Its battery doesn't last as long as the Air's and the keyboard and touchpad can be frustrating to use. Even if...
The Zenbook is essentially a Windows-based version of the MacBook Air, and the performance is exceptional considering the compact and lightweight chassis, but the trackpad lets it down....
Stylish, generous memory, fast boot times, excellent battery life
Expensive, horrible ergonomics, terrible trackpad
The Asus Zenbook UX31 is a tough machine to review. On the one hand, we love its style, power and epic battery life. On the other hand, ergonomically, it is a disaster with a horrible trackpad and dreadfully sharp edge that makes typing unpleasant. ...
No dedicated graphics, Limited storage, No backlit keyboard
Overall we were very impressed with the Asus Zenbook. Neither power nor portability has been sacrificed and features that traditionally suffer, such as audio quality and battery life, have not been neglected. While price may preclude some from purchas
The Zenbook from ASUS performs well and looks gorgeous, delivering hours of battery life for any user workload. Aside from the few issues we faced while using the touchpad, the Zenbook ran noticeably better compared to other laptops.Considering its price ...
