And yes, it is an excellent upgrade from the previous model: UX305UA. However, there is one major flaw, which resulted in the return of the system after a few days. Want to learn more? Please continue reading. I'll make this as brief and to the point as possible: Build quality: (4.9/5) Excellent build quality for the price. You will have an entirely aluminum body (except the bottom cover) which makes it very sturdy. Display: (4.2/5) The FHD display is a decent 1080p display. There seems to be less light-bleed and improved color contrast when compared to the previous model, which is good. The new profiles for switching display modes is quite nice, too. Overall, the display is much improved over the Skylake model and I am very happy with this laptop thus far. Keyboard, Trackpad, Fingerprint Reader: (4.8/5) The keyboard is very much improved over the previous model. It is even back-lit, which is a...

Amazon, you really need to stop lumping multiple products in the same listing, its confusing and totally skews the overall rating system. ASUS, seriously guys, update your product specifications on your site and stop with the confusing model numbers. I couldn't find any additional info on this laptop, other than the amazon listing. I've had this laptop for the better part of a week now, I can answer any questions on it. PROS: The screen is IPS and looks fantastic, very little light bleed (the spectre x360 has a better display IMO, but is also more expensive). Colors and contrast look great. Build quality is great, solid aluminum typical zenbook construction (except the bezel is plastic). The size is pretty amazing too, despite the larger bezels. Its super light and thin. Keyboard is great, backlit with an auto-light sensor (sensor can be shutoff). The touch-pad...

With the many choices available, it was tough to choose from the likes of Dell XPS13, Samsung Notebook 7, HP Spectre x360, Lenovo Yoga 710. I went ahead with this - mainly from the price vs specs vantage. So here's my take Highs: -The first thing you notice as you unbox and pick up is its weight - it feels very very light. Something that I wasn't necessarily looking for but started to appreciate. - This has a matte screen which have always been my preference. Windows 10 automatically sets the font size - so if you see a lower resolution on screen, its because of the auto scaling which you can tweak. The display is gorgeous even in strong ambient light - mine didn't come with any Asus presets. There is also the ambient light sensor that is on by default that tends to dim the screen. The screen is very bright actually and you realize this... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? |
