  • killed the mac book, and the best thing, it runs windows! Im not a mac hater, I love mac book and Iphone, but The Zenbook get me thinking on buying a notebook for the first time in my life =D

  • The Asus is bad. Intel HD graphics sucks.

  • @mas90009 Asus makes the world's best mother boards. They make amazing products. Intel hd graphic's is more then enough for a pc like this, the zenbook is not a desktop replacement or a gaming rig. That should be clear just by looking at it. You need to do some research on the companies products and know what your talking about before speaking. No need to be another apple fanboy that knows nothing about great companies like asus.

  • I hate how specs don't mean anything to you apple users, as long as you get sleek computer that looks nice you're satisfied.

  • @soulreaperjo, the ¨specs is why ¨we¨ buy mac.

  • @satansyngel1 I'm pretty sure having a very simplistic design, crappy memory, and really slim appearance doesn't count as good specs

  • Zenbook won!

  • In aus the zenbook model you have costs $2099AU and the MacBook air high model just costs 1799

  • so wait...you bought an iPhone just as a scale?

  • The best antivirus is common sense. -_-

  • I love how he crushes Apple in a professional way.

  • You're f*cking bitch you're a ASUS guy you hav. A asus t-shirt but i have the macbook air and he is so much better

  • @bolliebob1 One classic apple fanboy is here...

  • @djplayer93 yeah APPLE

  • @djplayer93 haha! good comment!

  • Isnt the host a nerd? Why is he using an iphone? nerds are supposed to be smart!! lol jkjk

  • im going to try to get this in the summer for now i got the transformer

  • @MsSyDash if you bought it for $650 than you got a discount on it. In the eurozone Apple just changed the Dollarsign for a Eurosign. So in Europe appleproducts cost 1.31 times more than in the US. So there might be a better offer from a compatitor. In my opinion the most important disadvantage for both laptops is the lack of a antiglare display. If there's a antiglare version of the zenbook I might think of giving a way my HP, but for now no way.

  • does ASUS laptop in US was import from china or produce in local?

  • @jackiechen8893 who gives a shit

  • /rip my analog mic =(

  • Lol, the Zenbook cost twice as much as my Air and I get pretty much the same thing :v

    [My air was around $650, the Zenbook costs $1200 here.

  • Seems very biased in my opinion.

  • @MsSyDash

    In what way??

  • They forgot to mention Apple replaces everything for free no questions asked. Don't need a warranty with Apple :)

  • @Diabinc141 they didn't with my mac book, i took it to the shop and they basically said tough shit last time i buy anything apple. Yes this is typed on a mac

  • @fawkinjoocy Haha sucks for you. I've had 3 iphones replaced, a macbook pro, my dad had 2 iphones replaced, and my stepbrother had one replaced. All no questions asked and out of warranty. Guess Apple just doesn't like you!

  • wow asus really inspired by a watch yeah right they copied the macbook air

  • @josiahtechlover Haha, yup.

  • Is this guy a asus salesman -__- very biased

  • @masterkiller247 I'm not Asus salesman and I would have added a little more things, that machine is impressive and I'm getting it tomorrow if all goes well (can't wait).

  • @masterkiller247 not biased its the truth, just stating facts

  • @sirus804 don't be a douchebag. Just because people like macs doesn't mean they're fags. I grew up using windows. Never liked it that much. Now I use Mac. So are you going to call me a fag simply because I prefer macs over pc's? Grow up and respect other opinions.

  • it's the ux31

  • we can see the one and only cameraman at --> 1:09 <-- Legen...wait for it...DARY moments guys...

  • Does Linus work for Asus? He seems to only mention the zenbook's advantages!

  • Windows=Performance, Quality and Value for your money.

    Mac=Expensive overpriced PC with really low specs.

  • @perlewitzaudio Disagree. A Mac has a lot of subtle touches that a PC has yet to match, which add up to an improved user experience overall. The Zenbook is a great product, and is very competitive, but the Air is still definitely a more pleasurable experience, if you're willing to pay for it. (I constantly use Windows, Linux, and Mac for my work).

  • @SlagarNZ Well, yeh I was kind of being overly bias.  I actually love ac computers because of their user experience and interface controls. I said those things because I've never owned a Mac and have never got the great chance to enjoy one. I still have yet to afford one. But I've always used Windows, but I think Mac and Windows are both great computers, and don't forget Linux! LOL :)

  • @SlagarNZ Sorry, I meant "Mac" instead of "ac" in the second sentence. lol

  • @perlewitzaudio I'm a pc user but i see the value in macs. They hold their value really well, their OS allows for more efficient use of the hardware and they tend to look a bit better

  • @misterdragonboy Yeh, I agree that. And I do love their new OS that is out because of all the hand gestures you can operate by just using the trackpad. But all in all, I really like both computers! :)

  • @perlewitzaudio I just went and bought the Toshiba ultrabook today - i feel its a good compromise of value and power whilst retaining the essence of what ultrabooks are about (portability, lightness and power saving) - cheaper then both the zenbook and mac and imo a better feeling product to the zenbook, and a lot better software to the mac

  • Biased much?

  • Crazy how the zenbook look just like a 2 year old macbook air. wonder where they get the design from, oh ya thats right a watch..

  • Thanks so much to show everything

  • Bored.

  • Many thanks..

  • Oh my god. I've just bought a Macbook Air and now a feel like a fool. I want that Zenbook!.. Anybody kill me...

  • U make me confuse:(. At first I chosed to buy MBA but after watching vid, Zen also not bad! But the MBA trackpad is much better than Zen's.

  • Zenbook FTW.

  • I was looking for a comparison, not an infomercial... You should label your videos correctly

  • Why isn't it worth mentioning the Zenbooks’ worse trackpad and the issue with none response problems when typing to fast on the Zenbooks’ keyboard compared to the Macbook air? The screen on the Zenbook might be a higher resolution (1600x900 vs 1440x900) but in my opinion the Macbook air just has a nicer screen to look at, even though I know there have been some colour issues with the Macbooks’ screen when looking at it from different angels.

  • I'm buying it this month, it's quite awesome. I tried it at a friend's and it's simply amazing. It's not a laptop of course but I was hesitating between a laptop and a netbook and I must say it's way closer to a laptop in performance and way closer to a netbook in portability. And of course apple is out of the question, I don't like closed computers nor being ripped off.

  • Inspired by high end watches? The notion is obviously deceptive, rather it is a blatant imitation of the Mac book it is similiar to what samusung has done with their galaxy phone. It's out right shameful.

  • @MichaelBLuc Do you even know what ultrabooks are? they all look the same : super thin, super light, 13" or 11", high performance... The macbook air is no exception.

  • @sinekonata Why do you even bother me looking through your windows. It is what it is the apple mac books started the ultrabook trend.

  • Oh, look. A bit further into this video and it looks like the Zenbook is a blatant copy of the MBA. When did ASUS become Chinese?

  • I could have sworn this was a comparison video but it seems that you're only kissing the ass of the ASUS computer.

  • Comment removed

  • Why are you talking only about asus?!?! An asus review?

  • Its asus ux31 not ux21.

  • asus has done a great job making this ultrabook showing that even pc's can be thin and have better specs than macbook air but by the other way the macbook air hasnt been updated untill last year.

  • Forgets to mention the 1600x900 screen of the Zenbook which is higher than the air (1440x900)

  • @nzgolem 12:55 he did say it, but you have to watch the whole video.

  • @nzgolem Yes he does at 12:51

  • @nzgolem no he didn't

  • @nzgolem it's better res, but anandtech reviewed the zenbook's screen and said that it was really low quality compared to the air's. the viewing angles are horrible, check the anandtech review on it.

  • @vincprods but there is nothing compatible with thunderbolt except apple products

    So that means u need an apple accessory which not everyone has and is expensive

    Plus why 10gbps seriously wat are u transferring porn or sum thing

    5gbps I enough for games, movies etc

  • It's so annoying how the Asus designers are trying to take credit for the UX21's design when it's just a macbook air with a different logo.

  • @melajala666 MACBOOK??? *spit*

  • mac book air, fuck asus.... they still get viruses...... apple brands are still better no mater what plus the third gen is about to come out so they could make it better.......witch asus still stays behind lol

  • @melajala666 I was a pc user since 1998 never had a virus nor a crash... its called an anti virus retard

  • @Lufty25 Yes, but anti virus greatly decrease performance and increase booting time.

  • @RitcheyTom greatly yea okay I don't know how shit your PC computer was but anti virus barley uses memory and power of the computer.

  • @RitcheyTom the "mac doesn't get viruses" argument? really? I had a developer friend that caught one on Ubuntu... how do you expect to never get malware on your mac (8%) if you can get one on Linux (2%) (which is safer btw)?

    Plus if you're trying to promote any OS, you're promoting more viruses for that OS as well. The day open source finally triumphs you'll see way more viruses on Linux.

  • @Lufty25 Or you could switch to linux and not have to worry about it

  • @Lufty25

    I've been PC user since 2004, and I have lots of crashes and viruses...

    I don't believe you that you didn't have ANY of those thing... You are clearly lying, and over exaggerating in front of other OS users... And don't reply me saying that you are not saying bullshit... because you are.

  • @pufixas Lol try upgrading try getting an anti virus like i'm a computer tech and I know if you take proper care you are almost guaranteed to not have any problems but hey if everyday you go looking up gay porn then yea switch to mac

  • @pufixas i've been a pc user since 1990 and not had any virus, if you have anti virus you are fine as long as you are a complete and utter fuck tard and download stupid shit then get hit you deserve it

  • @fawkinjoocy

    of course I have antivirus. There are cases when I work with an old pc that someone gave it for me and I find out that theres no antivirus installed...

  • @melajala666 Macs can get viruses now too, and will more and more as hackers get tired of trying to hack Windows. I personally haven't had a virus since 1999-2000, Windows has pretty much defeated viruses.

  • Asus (Ay-su-ss) please!

  • pRAWcessors

  • PC PC PC

  • That $150 is for the better OS and the ability for cheaper OS upgrades.

    This is barely a comparison. More like showing you how similar they both look, which they do...just look at where the power button is.

    I was expecting some speed tests...

  • Too many Apple fan boys here..lol.. But little did they know that Asus is current leading motherboard brand and Apple uses many third party components like CPU, GPU, SSD, HDD etc just like any other brands. In this case the Zenbook beats the Macbook Air cause of the specs and price. But for those who want a posh look and have lots of money go with the Macbook Air, and those who cares about the performance and wallet, go with the Zenbook.

  • hey, nice asus shirt...

  • @xkawsx that would be funny . . .

    cept it isn't an Asus shirt . . .

  • Linus, i know u don´t like apple products but only presenting one candidate in a vs is just not acceptable. You praise the usb 3.0 as super fast, the instant on functionality without ever mentionning the MacBook air. The air has Thunderbolt (faster than usb3.0 and instant on since it´s launch (several years before the zenbook)). Not to say that the revolutionnary ingeniering process by incerting a whole cmputer system in such a tinny case was accomplished by Apple in 2008, almost 4 years ago...

  • @vincprods I smell an Applefag

  • @sirus804 nice and fresh

  • @vincprods update no one uses or gives a shit about thunderbolt nether the less know what it is. Right apple brought out the first thin laptop, windows had the first user friendly operting system your point? I would be more proud of the latter.

  • @fawkinjoocy intel will relase thunderbolt to pcs this year, with ivy bridge's chipset... this means EVERYONE can have access to it, and thunderbolt might just kick off...

  • @fawkinjoocy i do know that by my self, thx. what I wanted to say was, that Linus should have mentionned the Air ab bit more,...

  • Their refered to a high quality/ performance watch for their design?? My ASS ASUS!!! No sorry, but seriously asus´s designers refered to the macbook air and there is absolutely no doubt about it. It looks quite exactly the same even though the MacBook air is still slightly thinner... even mac haters cannot denie that...

  • @vincprods

    Stop crying about it!

  • omg... it will back itself up... like the option on every windows PC since at least XP. Asus, you've really nailed it this time.

    I think he is giving HP too much credit for the standby instant on bit. The main real cool thing is the 2 week standby time, while other laptops may lose their charge in standby after a few days or so. But then again.. i have mine go to hibernate if its on standby for too long anyways.. so it doesn't really matter.

  • @anubis9109 I don't think you understood what he said.

    He said if the battery drops below 5% while it's on standby, everything in the memory (RAM) will be sent to the SSD (Storage).

  • @supbrotv I wouldn't consider Boot Camp a positive to owning a Mac (you still have to buy the Windows OS). You can boot other OS on a PC too... (uh, Linux)

  • 1000th comment

  • with the macbook air you gte to run both mac and windwos n the zenbook you only get the option to run windows

  • yeah big deal they just copy pasted the macbook air

  • I just can't use OS X Lion, and this is amazing, but I'd rather a U46e Bal6. Not paying for the size*

  • Asus has to say that the zenbook was inspired by macbook air.

  • In all honesty I'm torn between the two. I've been using windows for years so I'm hesitant to jump into a new OS

  • @SilentZero get a mac i promise u wont regret it..ive been using windwos since 98 and in 2011 i got a mac and im lovin it!

  • ... too bad the macbook air is lighter, faster, better performance and battery... nice try but PC's never matchup unless you have a desktop

  • @bransook You're a complete moron. The zenbook is lighter, thinner, faster and battery performance seems to be the same as macbook. I'm not bashing on Apple, so don't get all worked up. You're just a blind fanboy.

  • @bransook first it is lighter, second they are equaly fast, third the battary life is 3 hours better if you google booth. you dumbass

  • fuck i am torn between macbook air and zenbook....any one knows the battery life on macbook air when it is running win 7?? (Need win7 for some business programs which cant run in lion)

  • @heero78

    Then get a PC!

  • zenbook.

  • wth ux21 is an 11 incher, but he is showing 13 inchers

  • What a great review!!!!! 

  • They were actually inspired by the MacBook air. :p

  • retard, you can't close the macbook and open it up straight up and expect to have it instant on.

  • Its just a copy of the Macbook Air...

  • Comment removed

  • @Macs4everr fan boy.. its called competition!

  • @Macs4everr You dont know what you are talking about..

  • @TheJunkProductionz tbh i don't give a shit about what you have to say

  • Love My Macbook air. F.T.W.

  • Asus is pronounced as Ahhhh-SooooS.. not Ayyy-Soooos

  • What's the difference between ASUS UX21 and UX31?

  • It is so cool and I'm going to get it soon

  • i just picked up a zenbook. i like all the accessories but i still find that looking at the mac book air the screen colours and viewing angel on the air are way better. with this zen it seems like those 3ds toys if you are not looking dead center you will get this negative image type of colour. its really annoying.

  • he looks like erik stifler from american pie :P

  • Although I am a huge Microsoft fan, I am not entirely impressed with Windows 8, It seems quite complicated and not intuitive.

  • Comment removed

  • @Kwakobo Why?

  • @NameSadlyTaken :\ I have no idea, i guess i read the comment wrong.

  • zenbook-best looking netbook built till today

  • ARRGHHHHH I WANT ONE!

  • Designed after a fine watch? Lol it was designed after the Air.

  • @Fredo5227 So Apple was the first to make thin laptops? Try again

  • @BlueWaffleMan9000 Just look at the design on that thing.

  • i can see ur camrea man at 1:12 xD

  • its actually UX 31 

  • Mac > PC

  • What's up with the earrings?!

  • im debating on getting one of these machines within 2 weeks...i think the asus is slightly better EXCEPT, the mac has that un beatable , game breaking , patented technology of that magnetic battery powering . Im forced to get a new laptop because the power insert keeps getting too loose and killing my computer, what u guys think, isnt the magnetic power charging put a mac way out in front of any laptop, if u cant charge the thing it becomes a pos and thats it right?

  • I am totally getting a zenbook in two days.

  • oh cmon these things wont last long,once windows 8 comes and the pc and tablet merge.people will just buy tablets for ultra-portability and big fat desktops for gaming,video editing,etc.

  • Just 1 second more !

  • asoos?

  • What a dumb name. "Zenbook." I think that's probably what kills PC products. They have all these cheesy monnikers or XXX-Xaz product names. The MacBooks been around forever, and people know exactly what it is. Next year, Asus will probably start selling the Peacebook or something.

  • @tOpSeCrEtJeLlYfIsH wait a sec.. what did u just say? why is apple products winnibg al of the awards if they are worse u dumb fuck GTFO!!

  • @LillCrilly All the awards? Now now...

  • Says the fucking pc fanboy with the asus shirt.... wondering why apple is the most valuble company in the world?? hmm.. beacuse its the best.. lets say sony makes a new ultra lite phone and apple takes the idea.. wich on is going to sell the most? apple.. beacuse its a better company. GET THAT TO YOUR HEADS!!!!!

  • @LillCrilly Value has nothing to do with how good a company is. Value has to do with how much product a company sells.

    And the reason Apple sells so much is because of their marketing campaigns and clean-cut look. It's no-nonsense, everything a PC is cut out not to be.

  • @LillCrilly Apple may win "all the awards" but you my friend win the most Retarded Person on Earth. Good day.

  • windows in asus zenbook? FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!

  • at 4:40 you can see the cameraman's reflection in the tv at the back

  • Mind you... Ultrabook was originally made to compete with tablets and other ARM based devices.

    and yes... apple ripped X505 badly.

  • 3:05 - I know they're trying to make it look as good as possible but the reality is I don't sit with my net-book upside down and don't care how it looks at the bottom, all this does is it makes replacing ram sticks or hard drives much more complicated for me

  • I like how its a zenbook vs MBA comparison but he barely touches on the MBA

  • I used to be a apple fan got the first iphone which was a great step fwd but still felt dissapointed that they misd basic things. I waited for them to make an iphone which was worth getting. I got fed up and got an android then realised with the new os that they copied a lot of ideas and ripped google voice commands and @SquireofFire is spot on its all down to marketing. It p####s me off that apple could be great but rip you off insted.

    There products do look great though

  • Inspired by high-end watches my ass! They got inspired by Macbook air ... -.-

  • o so its a knock off of the mac book air i mean its exactly like a air. i mean get your own designs and dont steal off apple to make money

  • @ManOnTheM0000n its not a knockoff if it kicks its ass.

  • That is an Asus UX31 not UX21.

  • his poses are epic, lmfao.. but I like both... Idk though I like the zenbook a little better though

  • Starting from 1:01 i think we can see mr cameraman!!! :D

  • ok so i am gay and this presenter guy if he decides to enter gay porn, trust me he will be a millionaire in an year, he represents what every gay guy butch/fem would want to do.

  • @whatever3009 W..T..F!!!?!
