A sweet-looking ultraportable has a surprise inside

The ZenBook 13 is the world's thinnest 13.3-inch laptop with a discrete GPU so you don't sacrifice performance for size.

The 13.3-inch Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UN delivers overall excellent performance from its eighth-gen Intel processor and discrete Nvidia graphics chip. Nearly 11 hours of battery life. All in a slim, lightweight and attractive package.

The glossy body is impossible to keep clean of fingerprints, its USB-C port isn't Thunderbolt 3 and can't be used to charge the laptop, and its keyboard doesn't deliver the best typing experience.

With impressive performance for its size and long battery life, the Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UN is hard to pass up for the price if you want a travel-friendly laptop for school or business.

Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD-DB71

The Asus Zenbook Prime UX32VD-DB71 adds a speedy 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce graphics to the ultrabook formula. What Asus has wrought is the thinnest and lightest 1080p HD power system on the market. It's the ultrabook to...

Brilliant 1080p screen in a 13.3 inch ultrabook. Discrete 3D graphics. Strong multimedia performance. Full sized HDMI port. Three USB 3.0 ports in an ultrabook. Dual band 802.11 a/b/g/n 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi

Text can be tiny unless scaled up. Middling battery life. Only 30-day trial to McAfee Internet Security

ASUS ZenBook UX51V Review

This thin-and-light notebook features a 15.6-inch IPS display, Core i7 quad-core processor and dedicated graphics. Does lack of a touchscreen kill the deal?

Solid design ; Excellent performance ; Good keyboard ; Good speakers ; Good battery life

Expensive ; Not-quiet cooling fans ; No touch screen

ASUS ZenBook UX32VD Review

It might look like a MacBook Air from a distance, but the ASUS ZenBook UX32VD is a 14-inch Ultrabook running Windows 7 and packed with some surprising power.

Beautiful 1080p screen ; Nice keyboard ; Solid thin-and-light design ; Best-in-class gaming performance

Slow HDD + SSD cache ; Average battery life ; Adapter "dongles" are easy to lose ; The ZENBOOK UX32 offers great looks and great performance that only suffer from a few issues.

Review Asus Zenbook UX32VD Ultrabook

Miracles happen. The first rumors about Asus' new, revised Zenboo

Attractive Design; Full-Size HDMI, VGA and LAN by Adapter; Service friendly thanks to large bottom plate; Backlit keyboard; Bright display with strong 1000:1 contrast; Outdoor capable thanks to bright, non-reflective display; Very stable viewing angles...

No Unibody; Spongy keyboard mounting; some software applications fail at supporting Windows' display scaling.; No SSD, just a conventional HDD with SSD cache; High case temperatures during full load; suboptimally positioned speakers

The Asus UX32VD competes with a number of Ultrabooks from other manufacturers. A representative list would be for example the Dell XPS 13, Sony's SVT13, Samsung's 530U, HP Folio 13 and many more. If a high quality display is a priority, the only...

Asus Zenbook UX32Vd Review

Sexy Zenbook looks; lovely screen; lots of amenities at a competitive price

Wimpy GPU; despite Optimus, battery life isn’t exceptional; HDD rather than SSD

When Asus’s Zenbook UX31E debuted last year, it seemed to almost single-handedly put Ultrabooks on the map. Its intriguing mix of good looks, performance, and price convinced many a skeptic, us included, that PCs could compete with the likes of Apple’s...

Asus ZenBook 17 Fold OLED review (foldable laptop, 2022 UX9702A model)

I enjoyed my time with this Asus ZenBook 17 Fold OLED more than I was expecting. This format feels like a winner for a daily portable computer.

excellent build quality and looks ; fair inputs, IO and ergonomics ; awesome OLED display ; snappy and responsive with light daily use, but don't push it ; 75Wh battery, and efficient for what it is ; punchy audio quality and great camera

smudgy and difficult to clean display ; the keyboard isn't backlit, and charges slowly ; low power hardware specs ; very expensive
