The sleek but affordable Asus UX430U packs an Intel Core i7 and a sharp 14-inch full HD display, making it a powerful ultraportable that won't break the bank.

Asus ZenBook UX430UN (i7-8550U, GeForce MX150) Laptop Review

Portable multimedia machine. The UX430UN offers a bigger screen and faster GPU than the XPS 13 for hundreds less than the XPS 15. Its chassis and keyboard are unfortunately weaker than expected and feel cheaper to the touch.

crisp IPS matte display; good contrast levels ; accessible internals; upgradeable M.2 SSD ; Great core specifications for the price ; attractive and slim design ; respectable battery life ; full-size SD card reader ; decent speakers

display backlight could be brighter; poor outdoor visibility ; Discrete MX150 tends to throttle below base clock rate ; pulse-width modulation on nearly all brightness levels ; Inserted SD card protrudes by over half its length ; no touchscreen,...

The positives don't outweigh the longer list of negatives on the UX430. The few standout features are the crisp matte display and thin design, but nearly everything else is average at best or unremarkable. Brightness is dimmer than competing...

Asus ZenBook UX430UA

A classic ZenBook Ultrabook that brings a classy and lightweight aluminum chassis and high end appointments at price that's lower than many competitors. The 15.9mm thick laptop runs Windows 10 on the 8th gen Kaby Lake R Core i7-8550U quad core CPU with...

Asus ZenBook UX430UA

Asus ZenBook UX430UA review: A supremely portable and light laptop that's great for productivity.

Supremely portable ; Great keyboard and trackpad ; Anti-glare screen is great for productivity ; Decent performance

Not the best value ; Lid picks up fingerprints and smudges ; Disappointing battery life

A super portable and shoulder-friendly laptop with a particularly great keyboard and trackpad but it’s not the best value option.

Asus ZenBook UX430UQ review: Excellent display stands out in this workhorse of an ultrabook

If you are looking for a light laptop which can do more than just let you do office related work, the UX430UQ is one product that should definitely be under consideration

Asus has certainly delivered a stellar thin and light laptop with the UX430UQ with a display that is one of the best in its class. At Rs 93,990, you may be tempted to look elsewhere, but UX430UQ does make a compelling offering. Especially so if you are...
