ASUS Zenbook UX31 Ultrabook Hands-on Review 2/2

Rob from ASUS goes hands-on with the 13.3-inch UX31 Zenbook to demo the accessories that come with it, preview the sound from the B&O speakers, and compare the design to the magnesium ASUS U36SD.

Free with the UX31 are a mini-VGA to VGA adapter, a carry case with magnetic latch, and USB to Ethernet adapter.

SonicMaster/B&O ICEpower audio is compared to the U36SD ultraportable notebook.

@00Svo Thinner is more portable and if it even got better hardware than a thicker ultrabook such as the MacbookAir. Thinner is better as long as you dont have to make any sacrifices, I bet you would say "awesome" if Apple had a ultrabook as thin as the Asus Zenbook.

[00Svo]

@DerSchachspieler thinner is not necessarily better. But whatever, each to his own.

[megametalpriest]

im impressed. hows the support with asus, anybody?

[DerSchachspieler]

@00Svo And the Zenbook is almost half as thin than the MacBookAir.

[DerSchachspieler]

@00Svo And the Asus has Bang and Olufson speakers. So stop lying and ranting. The MacBookAir is crap.

[DerSchachspieler]

@00Svo The only devices I have that were broken after a maximum of 6 months and had many issues were my iPhone 3GS,iPhone4 and iPad2.  Cheap China Apple crap.
