Abstract: Despite how far smartphones have come in the last eight-odd years, as productivity devices, they're still a little too restricted to get serious work done. They're undoubtedly fine for quick tasks like replying to emails and scheduling appointments, but...

Asus does a fine job of making the Zenbook UX305FA-FC004P look as elite and cutting-edge as the models developed by the top players in the industry. With several upsides in terms of design, prolonged battery life and satisfactory performance, the UX305FA...
Abstract: Listen really closely, and you can hear the cries of Windows laptop users.Windows 10 is truly great, but it doesn't put an end to the affliction caused by inferior screens, carpal-tunnel-inducing trackpads, Tupperware-like plastic, short-lived batteries...

Abstract: What's still clear is just how portable this ZenBook is, with its 12.3mm girth and a 1.2kg total weight, the UX305 looks and feels like an impressively-built Windows counterpart to the MacBook Air. But peer a little harder and that initial impression does...
Mediocre trackpad drivers, Core M not as gutsy as an i7, Higher spec models get expensive

With its ultraslim profile, the Asus Zenbook UX305FA-ASM1 midrange ultraportable certainly redefines the concept of thin. Unfortunately, its performance isn't as impressive...
Decent piece of kit but not a massive step up from the current model, at least as far as look and feel are concerned. Being the first out of the stalls with the Core M means that Asus could gather some momentum before rivals appear on the market....
Great specs for the price, Core m offers reasonable office performance
No USB-C port for charging or external display, Keys aren't backlit
If 2015 was a break-out year for many laptop makers, 2016 so far appears to be steady as she goes. Some vendors have chosen to make tiny changes to bring laptops more in line with newer technologies such as USB-C, while others aren't making any change...
