I had seen a Zenbook with my boyfriend 2 years ago. The design and build quality at that time had already impressed me. So when I was looking for a laptop, it should also be a Zenbook. My requirements were: long battery life, good daylight readable display, particularly for mobile use, but at the same time replacement of a desktop PC, use for word processing and Internet and possibly simpler applications. So far I had searched the second-hand market (Classifieds, etc.) to different models Zenbook. However, were either prices still too high for my budget, or there were defects in front, or the good and cheap deals were fraud. When I found quite by accident, this affordable model at Amazon I thought about much longer. I do not regret it. The unit is fully consistent with my requirements. The workmanship is neat, the design pleasing to the eye and everything works as it should. Now, after a week use I can not say much about long-term quality. Only so much to my impressions: The battery life is gigantic. (Currently at the darkest setting display and keypad illumination, the battery shows 13% and 1:02 hours remaining term to). The build quality is really good. Contrary to reports about other similar models with bumps I can not see any flaws in my Zenbook. The fan works absolutely silent. At no time the fan is really audible. He works constantly and under load it is not loud. Typing on the keyboard is much louder than the fan. Apropos. The backlit keyboard is great. You can be in the brightness in 4 steps Rules (From -1-2-3). When not in use, the keyboard backlight turns off after a few seconds, but is the first button or mousepad printing again. Oh yes, the mouse pad ruled on two and even three-finger swiping. With this and a few more-service innovations can be Windows 8.1 also operate very pleasant without touchscreen. The only thing that could be considered under certain circumstances as a negative is that the mouse pad with vigorous top Tap (almost banging) a kind of rattle is there because it "hits" on the pressure point. But here you have to be very unnatural strong top touch, so it does not occur under normal conditions. In addition, a person may feel limited because the display "only" be open to about 130 degrees (even in "couch mode" with laptop on her knees is the ME by far enough!) Whether the CPU, graphics -. And disk performance their own requirements must suffice everyone know themselves. But if this is so because as usual only Office and lightweight media applications to be used in my case, then the Zenbook-entry model Asus UX32LA-R3070H is a really good choice. I'm really pleased.
