Abstract: Asus may have copied the MacBook Air wholesale with its ZenBook range, first launched in 2011. But with this year's new ZenBook UX305F the Taiwan manufacturer pipped Apple to the post by coming to market first with its Air clone using the intriguing new I...

Thin and light. Aluminum construction. Fanless design, thanks to Intel Core M processor. Full HD-resolution display. Comfortable keyboard and touchpad. All-day battery life in our tests.
Middling performance in testing. No touch screen. Speakers are disappointing
With its ultraslim profile, the Asus Zenbook UX305FA-ASM1 midrange ultraportable certainly redefines the concept of thin. Unfortunately, its performance isn't as impressive....
The Asus Zenbook UX305 is an affordable portable ultrabook that almost feels like a no-compromise machine. Clearly you shouldn't expect the same kind of performance from a $699 laptop as you'd get from a high-end device that sells for twice the price, b...
ASUS has crafted an elegant experience with the UX305. The body is a sleek creation of aluminum, the device is very thin, and at 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) in weight, it is very portable. The UX305 could easily be mistaken for a device which costs far more than its...
Sleek all-aluminum design, Great keyboard and touchpad design, Thin profile and lightweight chassis, Flawless screen, Fanless, quiet cooling system, Great price
Underwhelming battery life, Lacks keyboard backlight, So-so CPU performance
It's actually really hard to think of something that we didn't like about the device. The ASUS ZenBook UX305 is everything what a traveler or businessman would want. It's lightweight, sturdy, durable, premium materials are used for the making of the ultra...
Abstract: If Apple's new 12-in. Retina MacBook is any indication, the laptop is no longer considered an endangered species -- as long as it's slim and lightweight. However, while the new MacBook is extraordinarily portable and comes with an impressive display, it's...

Bottom line—for $699 this is a bad-ass machine. I made my living for almost three years on an 11-inch MacBook Air that I loved. In both form and function the Asus Zenbook UX305 ultrabook is as good or better than the MacBook Air. The UX305 also costs $200...
Low price for a stylish and classy notebook with plenty of ports despite slim design. Ample RAM and storage. Nice matte IPS display
No touch screen, keyboard isn't backlit, Intel Core M is slower than Core i series
Asus is that company that delivers a classy looking product for less money, and this time they've outdone themselves with a really sexy looking Ultrabook that's priced several hundred dollars below the competition. That is, as long as you like deep plum l...
The best deal in townWhat this comes down to is a major breakthrough in price for an ultrabook. I thought Dell's XPS 13 2015, with its $799 price was a big breakthrough (and it is), but you give up in RAM and storage to get to $800. The same goes with A...
