Sleek design
Comfortable keyboard
B&O ICEpower audio technology
The Asus Zenbook UX32VD has features usually missing from ultrabooks
Including a 1080p display and Nvidia GPU
24GB SSD cache + 500GB storage is a flexible solution. Backlit keyboard. Three USB 3.0 ports. Matte screen. Decent sound for a laptop
The editors didn't like
Oversensitive trackpad
Preinstalled Asus bloatware
MiniVGA connector
The UX32VD is expensive
It's thicker and heavier than most ultrabooks
And it has a less-than-stellar touch pad
Weak battery life. Higher-resolution model hard to find. GeForce 620M is limited
Oversensitive trackpad, Preinstalled Asus bloatware, MiniVGA connector
With the rapid influx of new hardware specially designed to showcase the new Windows 8 operating system, it's easy to overlook a machine like the Zenbook UX32VD. With its shiny metal body, attractive screen and bevy of connection ports, this is a pretty e...

The UX32VD is a decent attempt at an all-rounder ultrabook, though its battery life is uninspiring and it doesn't live up to its full potential....

The UX32VD is expensive, it's thicker and heavier than most ultrabooks, and it has a less-than-stellar touch pad
With a Core i7 CPU, discrete graphics, and a full HD screen, the Asus Zenbook UX23VD is pretty close to being the ultrabook that has it all, but you'll pay for all those features....
Excellent graphics for an ultrabook, Plenty of data storage, Snappy brushedmetal chassis, and bright keyboard backlight, Superslim design , Quality IPS display
Lackluster battery life, Lowerthanexpected HDD performance, Lackluster included software
That said, the UX32VD's score in PCMark – a measure of the system's general performance and responsiveness – was a little disappointing. The same goes for the ultrabook's battery life. Sure, we expect a high-performance system to take a battery life hit c...
Three USB 3.0 ports, Enjoyable keyboard and large touchpad, High-contrast IPS display, Good processor and 3D performance
Display has severe uniformity issues, Hard drive is mechanical, Battery life is so-so
Asus clearly has engineers who know what they're doing. They are interested in high-resolution displays, attractive exteriors and excellent performance. The UX32 is an engineering feat no other Ultrabook on the market can match. Unfortunately, the lapt...
Slow HDD SSD cache, Average battery life, Adapter "dongles" are easy to lose
The newest ZENBOOK UX32VD is a generally impressive Ultrabook with plenty of great reasons why you should buy it … and at least one reason why you might want to pass. The beautiful 1080p IPS display is quite possibly the best screen on any current 13-inch...

The Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD is one of the first Ultrabooks in the brave new frontier that marries typical Ultrabook specs with upgradable parts and dedicated graphics. Our advice? Wait for the second or third generation where dedicated graphics perf...
Terrific 1080p screen, Fast performance, with Core i7 CPU and discrete graphics, Three USB 3.0 ports, VGA, HDMI, and (via USB) Ethernet support, Backlit keyboard
Onscreen text can be tiny unless zoomed in, Minimal backlight bleed, Mediocre battery life
Across-the-board improvements to last year's model—from a fast CPU and discrete graphics to a backlit keyboard and the best screen in its class—make Asus' new ultrabook well worth its $1,299 price. Read More...
