Incredibly thin and light ; Phenomenal battery life ; Good 1080p screen ; Exceptional value ; Beautifully made

Performance is compromised ; Trackpad isn't the best ; No keyboard backlighting

But with that caveat navigated, it's clear Asus has produced another fine ultrabook that should please any laptop buyer. It also gets extra brownie points for offering a non-touch, non-glare option. The screen looks better for it.

Crystal clear display ; Lightweight and very portable ; Reliable fingerprint sensor

Weird fingerprint sensor placement ; A single USB-C port

The Zenbook 3 looks the part of a slick and powerful ultra-portable laptop, only with a mushy keyboard and odd fingerprint sensor placement.

Incredibly thin and light ; Vibrant, glare-free screen ; Excellent keyboard and trackpad

Weak sauce graphics ; Tinny speakers

Call it a MacBook Air knock off all you want, the Asus ZenBook UX305 remains one of the best and most affordable Ultrabooks on the shelf.

Great screen ; Really lightweight ; Good-looking design

Poor trackpad ; Just shy of all-day battery life ; Expensive

The Asus ZenBook 3 is one of the slimmest, lightest, most like-a-MacBook-but-not-a-MacBook Windows laptops you'll find.

Metal build quality, super-slim design (more so than a MacBook Air), decent screen for a balanced price point, ample performance for the price

No backlit keyboard, no touchscreen, fiddly to open, lacks power of pricier models (as expected), no MS Office

The Asus Zenbook UX305 is certainly in the running for king of the mid-range laptops. Of course there are more powerful and feature-heavy laptops out there, but at this £649 price point, with its Full HD 13.3-inch screen, metal build, full size...

Powerful Core i7 processor in a slim, portable package with an excellent touchpad. A helpful USB-C mini-dock is included.

The 12.5-inch display is locked at 1,920x1,080 resolution, and it isn't a touchscreen. Lots of extra bloatware. Battery life isn't as good as the MacBook. Other similarly configured systems cost less.

The Asus ZenBook 3 mimics many of the best features of Apple's 12-inch MacBook, but in a Windows version with a more powerful processor.

The Asus ZenBook UX305CA is a sensible, perhaps predictable upgrade to the UX305 we looked at last year. It has newer CPU, and a much higher-resolution screen. However, it remains a seriously portable, expensive-feeling laptop that really isn’t that...
