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: Product round-up It took a little while for the production lines to get going, but the first few months of 2012 have seen super-slim Ultrabooks completely outnumbering every other type of desktop or laptop PC coming our way. Intel’s tight definition o...
The ASUS UX31E borrows the kind of stylings seen on Apple’s Macbook Air. It looks trendy and thin, yet feels solid. This is one desirable bit of kit that any gadget fan would be proud to call their own. However its 13.3-inch screen gets one over on the MacBook Air with a higher 1600 x 900 resolution display. Look around and you’ll see you can get it at a cheaper price, too. Films, games and webpa
The keyboard feels hit and miss. The keys don’t have as much give as some would like, but anyone would soon get used to typing on it. However the trackpad fares less favorably, and is nowhere as smooth as the glass trackpads found on the MacBook Air. Battery life is not the best. At full charge in regular use the ASUS UX31E will keep going for around 5 hours. With other laptops just as thin offer
Minor complaints aside don’t detract from what is a powerful laptop with a great screen, sexy design and quick performance in whatever it does. At around £1,000 it’s a little on the pricey side, but as alternatives to Apple’s MacBook Air go, the ASUS U...
★★★★★ The Asus Zenbook UX31 isn’t the cheapest Ultrabook in this group, but it has the performance and features to make it good value for money. The most disappointing thing about it is its battery life, which was the sixth-longest here, lasting over ...
