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)
The UX31 is the new Ultrabook to beat, thanks to its long battery life, fast performance and welcome extras like a high-res display and Bang & Olufsen speakers....

The Asus Zenbook UX31E boasts sleek, pristine design, excellent-sounding speakers, a higher-resolution screen than the MacBook Air, and a better price for nearly identical specs
The keyboard and touch pad are weak points, there are equally thin laptops out there with better battery life
The Asus Zenbook UX31E is an excellent-looking Windows Ultrabook laptop that matches the MacBook Air step for step with an even better price. Fans of great audio, high-resolution screens and lots of ports will be happy; keyboard/touch pad aficionados ...
The ASUS Zenbook is one of those products that PC users just want to like. It is slim, well built, performs reasonably well and incorporates all of the design marquees that make the Apple competition “unique” without the high cost normally associated w...
Abstract: There's no doubt in our minds that the UX series is the sexiest line of notebooks ever made. The machined aluminium looks and razor-thin slimness just attract attention wherever you are.The UX31E and its 11.6in sibling, the UX21E, can justifiably be co...
Very sturdy; Good connectivity options; Power pack is nice and small - very different for a PC laptop; Excellent screen resolution, better than most 15 inch laptops have;
Speakers aren't super loud; No backlit keys; Keyboard and mouse could be a lot better;
There is a lot to like about the UX31, foremost among them being design, specs, and screen. When it comes to usability, however, its keyboard and mouse are likely to provide a far less enjoyable experience than you'd want from a $1999 notebook. Pages: 1...
Excellent performance thanks to the Sandforcedriven SSD and Core i7, Beautiful looks, 1600x900 screen is a nice departure from 1366x768, Good battery life
Terrible touch pad and keyboard make the product almost unusable,
Much like the UX21, the ZenBook UX31 is a beautiful performer trapped in a cage of awful usability. We look forward to Asus' next revision, where it will no doubt refine the experience into a winning product.
Excellent performance thanks to the Sandforce-driven SSD and Core i7. Beautiful looks. 1600x900 screen is a nice departure from 1366x768. Good battery life

Thin design, 1600x900 resolution, 256GB SSD and Core i7 CPU
Input devices not great, User friendliness not great, Keyboard not backlit
With so much going for it as far as size, build and looks are concerned, it's a shame that the Zenbook UX31 offers a below average user experience. Its input peripherals aren't great, it feels uncomfortable to use and we had to install drivers to get thin...
