Beautiful unit, bad hard drive and some minor bugs.

Asus Zenbook UX31E-RY010V 33.8 cm (13.3 inches) Ultrabook (Intel Core i7 2677M, 1.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Intel HD 3000, Win 7 HP) (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

Property me the unit and was initially also very enthusiastic. The build quality is great, the device is easy (1.4 kg), the accessories is also fine.

The screen is also ok, of course, there are positions in which the color is not quite as shown, as it should, but on the whole, definitely enough. Mirroring is already strong, but with full screen brightness one sees the image super and there is nothing more reflects that strong.

Wireless internet is not the fastest, but it is here to a portable device and was probably designed deliberately. I have had no crashes or otherwise.

The touchpad is not bad, but very sensitive, so you often accidentally move things or text highlighted on the internet, which was a bit annoying. The writing, the touchpad is pressed, is utter nonsense, because leaves in the settings set up, these are not activated when the keyboard certain areas and thus even accidentally, the cursor is rediscover elsewhere (Elantech touchpad). What is also not well resolved, is the zoom. All other gestures worked very well with me.

The keyboard is used to definitely, but after a certain training period can also write so well. 3/5

The battery keeps its promises and I was very happy with this term. For pure Internet surfing with WLAN and 1/4 screen brightness keeps it loose 7 hrs. By. The Instant-On function is great and works flawlessly.

Some small mistakes I've finally has found. Every now and then the Explorer stopped responding, so I could choose anything on the taskbar. It has also happened when the taskbar icon right was right clicked to access the settings of the corresponding program, the context menu has not been closed. It only helped a reboot of the system to fix this error. If you have the Youtube page on, must first be razsgeklickt from the video, so that anything can be done in Windows, otherwise the touchpad went crazy. Instead of scrolling has been zoomed, gestures did not function. I find little weak.

The last point of criticism, which also caused me to return the unit, is the well-known problem with the hard drive. Instead of a fast ADATA slow Sandisk is installed. For the price, unfortunately, insufficient. We had hoped for a positive opinion from Asus, but this is unfortunately negative failed (it is alleged that the SanDisk have the same performance). Read the discussion and opinion in Hardwareluxx Asus Forum. And in various other forums and here is also much discussed. For me, the behavior of Asus is a no-go, and so I will have to look around, unfortunately for another laptop.

Conclusion:
On the whole I was very happy, but I did not want to be sitting on me and above all, the handling of Asus with its customers regarding. This thread is not satisfactory with the hard disk. But would like to keep the device, so no.

I hope I could with this evaluation some in deciding whether to buy or not, help.
