Customer Review

I would now like to tell you something about one of the first real Ultrabooks.
In daily use, it reflected quite well with 5:30 hours. The performance is not as advertised but when hitting the advance to.
The UX31 starts almost unmttelbar from standby and needed for a cold start 15sec average.
Who knows Asus knows that before commissioning the in-house Bloatware must be removed first. This takes about 30 minutes.

The touchpad I find wirklch very successful against the most reviews. The gestures are recognized and can be very good to work with.
The display comes with a very high resolution (1600x900) and high luminosity. The illumination is uniform and the viewing angle also allows more than ener person a good view of the display. As with most UB its type but it is also mirror-coated, and thus makes it difficult to work in the open air. This could be solved better with a UB, after all, is one of the big selling points portability and for me it means that it really is all well used. Well, you can live with it.

For many, the keyboard is a knockout criterion that I can partly understand well. At first I was really shocked at the number of errors, but that's really up to the totally unfamiliar tactile keyboard. You can, if you're used to it, write without problems 10Fingern.
I caught a device with SanDisk SSD and was initially probably somewhat influenced by the forum entries, but must say that I am absolutely satisfied with the performance. Maybe because I do not know the difference to AData.

The graphics performance is more than adequate for such a slim device. HD material can be reliably reproduced and also not too demanding games run smoothly at medium settings. Graphics editing and special presentations are not a problem. But it is precisely in the graphics editing I would recommend a larger, external screen.
The UB advertises Bang & Olufsen sound. We realize very quickly that Bang & Olufsen well not always stands for highest quality sound, but this is to bear in the price category and the narrow construction. The boxes do a decent service and are at least middle Laustärken also very clear. Of course you can here no bass orgies expect, but the highs, lows and mids distance themselves clearly from one another and provide a, the dimensions corresponding acoustic pattern.

The feel of the UB is truly unbeatable. It is strongly oriented towards the mother of all UB MacBook Air, this similarity is paired but with some improvements.
A KensingtonLock port in vain, which I find incomprehensible at a mid-range device. Place would have been still there.
However, one of the main criticisms is setting the Wlanadapters. It takes a little finesse and numerous updates / settings / restart until it reliably responsive to signals and not always disabled when the UB is closed.

Pro:
+ Haptics at the highest level
+ Very fast
+ Touchpad is one of the best of the current Windows computer
+ Battery Performance

Con:
- No KensingtonLock
- WlanAdapter needs some "attention"

Neutral:
+/- On the keyboard to get used
+/- Sound a little weak on the chest
