Ultrabook Asus Zenbook UX301LA with 13.3-inch IPS-screen will likely look already become a classic MacBook Air 13 sample in 2011, but it boasts the most modern filling. Examined by us ultrabook is equipped with a powerful processor IntelCorei7 4500U. True cost of this ultrabook is very large – $ 2429.
Design and Features
As expected Ultrabook, Zenbook UX301LA compact and lightweight: a depth of only 15.5 mm, weight – 1400 model color – dark blue, which is in a darkened room, may appear to be completely black. The top of the lid is covered with a layer of scratch-resistant glass Corning Gorilla Glass.
In the hands of Zenbook UX301LA suddenly seems cumbersome. The glass surface of the cover looks exactly the premium until covered with fingerprints. It is necessary to be prepared for the fact that your essential accessory for ultrabooks will be cleaning microfiber cloth. What a pity about her presence in the kit Asus has not taken care of.
Housing ultrabook built with high quality and most of its parts do not bend under pressure. Only the laptop screen is pressed even with a small pressing.
Zenbook UX301LA has a touch screen; glossy surface is highly conspicuous due to the dark color ultrabook chassis. Fingerprints on the screen off well marked and be sure to annoy fans of cleanliness.
Keyboard with island-style backlit. It is well suited for typing, but is unlikely to please gamers. The touchpad is large and comfortable, but no physical keyboard. The left and right-click by pressing the corresponding lower area of the touch pad. There is support for multi-touch.
Speakers ultrabook issue loud enough, clean and well-balanced sound that makes it fun to watch movies in a small room.
Specifications
In our sample Zenbook UX301LA set IPS-matrix of 2560 x 1400 pixels, but you can buy a model with a matrix and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
As the CPU used Intel Core i7 4500U (1,8 – 3 GHz) in the company of an integrated graphics accelerator Intel HD 4400 and 8 GB of RAM. Again, you can buy a modification Ultrabook with more modest Core i5 processor and more productive Core i7 4558U.
For storage, a pair of SSD-drives Sandisk 128 GB. For wireless communication module is used Wi-Fi 802.11ac.
Like most ultrabooks have Zenbook UX301LA there is only a handful of ports: Mini DisplayPort, two USB 3.0, card reader SD, 3.5 mm audio jack and charging socket.
Performance
Now consider the traditional benchmarks.

CPU performance is sufficient for most everyday tasks: editing documents, surfing the internet, watching videos and so on. N. Speed launch applications is high, work with the interface Windows – comfortable.
Runtime check for continuity FullHDvideo playing with the screen brightness of 120 cd / m 2. Fully charge the battery enough for 6 hours and 45 minutes of viewing. PCMark test 8 Battery Life also showed good results (shown in the table above).
Comfortable to play modern 3D-games, like Battlefield 4, will not work, but for these purposes and are not intended ultrabooks. Undemanding and old games on the Zenbook UX301LA will work quite quickly.
Finally I want to say that the screen with 2560 x 1440 resolution – it is certainly cool, but not on a laptop with a diagonal of 13.3 inches. Of course, Windows 8.1 can automatically adjust the resolution, but the text and icons in many third-party applications look very small, which is not conducive to a comfortable work. In my opinion, it is better to look at the Zenbook UX301LA modification to a conventional Full HD screen.
Pros:
+ Build quality;
+ Good overall performance;
+ Good sounding speakers;
+ Convenient touchpad.
Cons:
- Small text on the screen, high-resolution, strains your eyes;
- Looks cheaper than its value.
