Asus Zenbook UX31 review

Is this the first real PC alternative to the MacBook Air?

Power in spades Instant resume Long battery life Fast SSD Excellent sound

Poor viewing angle Nasty trackpad buttons Derivative design No backlit keyboard

The Asus Zenbook UX31 is one of the first laptops to conform to Intel's Ultrabook specification.

Asus Zenbook UX31E review

Note that our review sample was supplied by Intel's PR department and had a 256GB SSD inside. This model is not sold in the UK. Instead, the maximum storage capacity offered through Asus UK is 128GB.

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.

Asus Zenbook UX31 review

Want a laptop that's a wafer-thin square of aluminium with more power and storage than a MacBook Air, but for £400 less? That's the promise of the Asus Zenbook UX31, one of the first notebooks to meet Intel's full Ultrabook spec. From a distance, it...

ASUS Zenbook UX31E

The Asus UX31E is a thin lightweight laptop with a metal unibody build. It has a 13.3-inch screen with a resolution of 1600 x 900. Inside you'll find a 1.7GHz Intel Core processor, 4GB of RAM and a 256GB Solid State Drive and audio powered by Bang &...

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...

Asus Zenbook UX31E

Review I honestly thought it would take the industry a lot longer to start producing Windows ultrabooks for under a grand that are this good. The Asus Zenbook is as flat and skinny and as light as a MacBook Air without trying to look like one, and is a...

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 for...

ASUS Zenbook UX31

The Asus Zenbook UX31 has been gathering a decent reputation as one of the very first ‘ultrabooks' and there have been mentions of it as a potential alternative to the Apple MacBook Air.

The Asus Zenbook UX3 is a decent mix of slimline, lightweight beauty and heavyweight brains. Although a fairly blatant attempt to replicate the MacBook Air, it actually beats it in certain areas, although the Apple device shades it overall for us....
