Usually we'd have filled the intervening pages with our usual array of graphs, but there are two sensible reasons why we haven't done so here. Firstly the Zenbook UX305 doesn't really match up to anything we've previously tested, and results in a vacuum a...
Abstract: The Asus ZenBook UX501 has been out for a few months now, offering Window's users a powerhouse of a laptop with the modern styling and an ultrathin design that helps it stand out in a crowd. As one of the best Windows alternatives to a MacBook Air it's po...

No keyboard light
In Review Asus Zenbook UX305FA-FC004H. Test model courtesy of Notebooksbilliger.deIn the verdict to the Zenbook sibling we wrote, ". the UX305 seems to us to be a well-balanced subnotebook that has much to offer for professional users and demanding priva...
Superthin and superlight, Aesthetically pleasing, Screen looks good; DPI scales nicely, Excellent build quality, It's fanless, Includes a fast SSD (benchmarked at ~475MB/s read/write), Price compared to competition
Touchpad can be finicky, mostly with regards to clicking
When I wrote about the release of the UX305 a couple of months ago, I knew that I had to get a unit in for testing. I am sure that the reasons for that are obvious: it's sleek, thin, and portable. Well, for those reasons and others, I've come to like the...
Thin, light, and attractive, Handsome full HD display, Comfortable keyboard and touch pad, Good battery life, Fanless and silent
Mediocre performance, No backlit keyboard, No touch screen
An 0.8GHz Core M processor leaves this slim and sleek ultrabook a bit short on performance, but it's otherwise a great little laptop for its $699 price. Read More…...
The ASUS Zenbook UX305 was found to be a very well built Intel Ultrabook that is easily affordable. At first we were doubtful that the Intel Core M processor would be able to perform the tasks that we wanted to do, but we were pleased with the performance...

Yes—unless you can afford to pay more! The Asus UX305 is a well-rounded laptop at a great $700 price, but you can get an even better one for just a little bit more money. At $800, the Dell XPS 13 is slightly better in almost every single way, with longer...

Solid construction, Good mix of features for the price, Good keyboard and OK trackpad, Microsoft Signature edition is available, Good battery life, Good port selection, Decent 1080p IPS panel with a matte finish, which is becoming rare, Fanless
No touch or backlit keyboard option, if you're into those, Some backlight bleed around the edges of the display, Core M and the HD 5300 GPU are significantly slower than Broadwell-U or Haswell-U, Dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi instead of 802.11ac

Abstract: Video review: At first glance, you might mistake the ASUS ZenBook UX305 as a dark-gray edition of the 13-inch MacBook Air. It shares nearly the same design cues and size, but is thinner than the Apple notebook is at its thickest point, and weighs less. It also beats many...

Thin and light, solid and sexy, and quiet as a mouse. Twice the RAM and storage of competing models from Apple and Dell, but for less money. Gorgeous screen, comfy keyboard, allday battery
My kingdom for backlit keys. Lacks the sex appeal of Dell's onlyslightlypricier XPS 13. Oddball screenhinge design can cause some slippage while you type. Weak builtin speakers are an affront to ears everywhere
