When intel announced 'UltraBook' the concept of ultrabook last year,the ceiling price for these machines was set at $1,000. However,the Zenbook UX31 crossed this mark,and was priced at$1,199 upwards. Asus says this is due to the high-quality components used in the device -on paper,this claims seems to be true.
1. Built quality and design:-
No denying,this ultrabook is stunning to look at. In fact, its unibody construction- complete with its brushed aluminum shell-lends for sturdy construction while main taining that Asus borrow considerably from Apple's MacBook Air,the UX31 does seems to have sturdier while its finish seems less prone to scratches.
2. Screen,keyboard and touchpad:-
The 13-inch display,though,is a mixed bag. it boasts a fantastic resolution of 1600x900, which means that images and a text are clear and rendered shraply.Similarly,brightness is class-leading. Still, when it comes to colors and viewing angles,the UX31 falls short on expectations.Overall,it's not a bad screen but for a premium product like UX31,we were expecting better. The same is true about its keyboard,which looks gorgeous because of its spacious metal keys. There is some tactile feedback,but not enough to please
those who type a lot. On the other hand,the touchpad on UX31 is wonderful. It is large,smooth to touch and is accurate.Also,its two integrated buttons feel nice and 'clicky'
3. User experience :-
A Core i7 processor and its SSD make UX31 a very fast machine,not only in performance,but also in booting and resuming from hibernation.Except for gaming,the machine handels everything without any lag.
In typical ultrabook fashion,it also handles heat very well and despite extended use,its aluminium shell remains cool to touch.
One highlight of the user experience on the UX31 is its Bang & Olufen speaker,which are very loud and sound grate. The Only complaint revolve around its less-than-perfect keyboard and screen,considering it sell at an atmost prohibitive MRP of Rs 89,999 in India. Still,its processor and storage type are complete "GEEK" pleasure.
