Highresolution display
Sleek
Pristine design
Excellent-sounding speakers
Higher-resolution screen and better price for nearly identical specs as the MacBook Air.
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.

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...

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 wil...

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: 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,...
Abstract: It’s not often that a notebook, or mobile device for that matter, honestly blows us away. Many notebooks which we review fall somewhere between being mostly good to excellent. There are a rare few notebooks and mobile devices that genuinely awe us and ...
