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

Lacklustre keyboard

Low gaming capacity

Average display viewing angles
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 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

Abstract: Let’s get the standard Ultrabook comparison out of the way first: physically the Asus Zenbook UX31 is the closest thing we’ve seen to a MacBook Air, that isn’t a MacBook Air. It’s the first ultrabook we’ve seen match the Air’s signature ‘wedge’ design,...

Thin design, 1600x900 resolution, 256GB SSD and Core i7 CPU
Input devices not great, User friendliness not great, Keyboard not backlit
The Asus Zenbook UX31 is a 13.3in Ultrabook that holds tremendous appeal, not only because of its looks, but also because of its specifications. ...
