The design looks great visually. The Gorilla Glass has a nice effect, the only negative point are the unavoidable fingerprints, but do not bother me personally, because by the mitverschickte microfiber cloth disappear very quickly.
Display is crisp and the touch function for me is more of a gimmick than anything else. I barely use it, but I can imagine to work with, because it responded very well and for me also hardly leaves fingerprints.
Criticisms: If the screen has a dark background, you can see at the bottom points of light from the lighting, which can not really tell. Automatic screen brightness I personally feel as useless as it partially brighter and times darker again arises where the lighting conditions have not changed, so have these off funtion the same, but here again: pure gimmick. The only thing that let me know when purchasing this device falter, is the mirrored display. As a student, I take the laptop also like to get out in the sunlight and you just then its drawbacks. However, since the UX31LA was no longer to have with anti-reflective display, I have given up on this device beaten and I have to say: While it is now and annoying, but you can live with all, once you get used to it only once.
The camera I have not tested except for a few Skype video conversations, but it reaches all times from.
The keyboard is an experience in itself. It feels super and soft and the fingers glide over it without having to exert too much or too little pressure. At this point Thumbs up for Asus.
The same goes for the Mouse Pad. It is my opinion comparatively large and beyond has many functions. Such as the Swipe left or right with two fingers to scroll, etc. For me, a little getting used to, since my previous laptop already has a few more years under his belt, but here again: pure matter of habit and with the numerous setting options, this is also regulated quickly.
With the processor, memory, etc. I know my way is not so much, which is why I will not comment on it further great. As a layman in this field, I can only say that it starts very quickly, generally works quickly and I can only speak positively of the battery life. Surfing the Internet I come to about 8h operational time, so the DVD I come to about 3 movies. (Put on display rather mediocre brightness).
Conclusion: the Super Device for working for the home as well as in the university. Can the Ultrabook recommend and it is always great again, unfold it alone and watch it on my desk.
