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.

You'll see the cable resting just above the fan. 449 of 476 people found the following review helpful Great ultrabook for people who just want a solid built ultra-portable machine with plenty of power under the hood., December 7, 2016 This review is for the UX330UA (core i5-7200U version). 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... Read more |
