Hello, this is the first review that I write on Amazon, but the previously bad experience forced me just that! I have gained the UX31E about 6 weeks ago because I needed a laptop for my studies. Easy, quick bootable and with long battery life were my primary claim wherein me the chic design also accommodates! So right fix ended up with Asus Zenbook or Samsung Series 9. Although I have asked myself and knew of the differences in the SSDs, but since I had built himself a SanSiak in my last laptop, I could not really put off that. Especially Samsung SanDisk also built into its ultrabooks, for whatever reason, will eventually build the best SSDs themselves .... The device, however, so badly run I would not leave me dream ..... At first impressed with the great processing and the real-chic design, the unit made a lot of joy. However, with the move to Windows 8 Then came the disillusionment. Asus probably offers drivers for this device and Windows 8 !!!! However, not only different SSDs, but also different touch pads were used. And my Fa Sentelic runs as good as not having the drivers provided by ASUS available. It is automatically recognized by Windows, but the gesture control is not working. Yes, I have both the APTK (or whatever) installed package and the original ASUS drivers, nothing helped. Then I read about battery problems and wanted to know more, BatteryBar installed and lo and behold, 14% wear !!!! That's a No, been invoked at ASUS and sold promptly stupid. From because of "battery is consumable" and "touchpad would work if I install all drivers in the order they are online ..." want to sell me really so stupid ???? A impudence 1000 for such a packed with scrap precious part and then as an insult of service! Well, the touchpad problem I could read after I implemented the advice of an English-language site, it worked but responded poorly to input! Then the display, great resolution, super bright, but a point of view of certainly not more than + -15 °, when something is read diagonally, you can see almost nothing ... Meanwhile, the Asus Power Tools 8 interestingly no longer available for Windows, so the unit goes with empty battery without warning, no beeps, no message, just from ... In my Rechergen I've found that there are thousands of dissatisfied customers! Those who know only a little, and the device would review and make use according to the price, you will quickly find that the quality for the price absolutely not true. Add to that the insolence of ASUS to offer such a service. For at home I have also assembled a desktop PC, also stood by ASUS products to choose from, but there has been not a single into the house. Just for example: My MB is Gigabyte, because I had problems with the RAID array, I called them and had no after 10 seconds a knowledgeable staff on the phone (landline) who also was able to help me! I can only advise everyone to treat this service as NOKIA back when who closed a plant in Germany, and not to support this behavior. After all, we work hard for our money and think for quality pay, but here only the rip will be paid! If only half-decent parts had been installed, or if it would be cheaper @ 300 (with these components), no one would say what. But 1000 should be able to expect it to get a product that runs correctly along with the original drivers and can be used. And will not be sold on the phone for stupid what has already please do the USB Charger with the touchpad or ASUS Tutor with the battery? An absolute joke, never again ASUS !!!
