Customer Review

I was looking for a laptop does not need to shine with all the highest technical achievements, since I use mainly to surf it and watch video. Schick and thin it should also be. Consequently, I was mainly before deciding whether I buy the Zenbook or the completely new Macbook. Was decisive in the end the price-performance ratio. Since 1449're set very high and I could not be bothered to buy a / some adapter, so I have decided to use the device from Asus.
Now, after a month of the equipment I have to say that for the price (in my case, 704.60) is a solid device for everyday applications first of all. That it may well the new MacBook not quite hold a candle to this does not bother really. One may for half the price just do not expect similar performance / processing. The disadvantages lie in my case mainly the lack of keyboard illumination, a not completely clean working touchpad and the somewhat puny battery power. The biggest advantages are the acceptable price, the number of connections and in my case, the operating system (particularly with anticipation for Windows 10), but that's a matter of taste.
All in all I would say a buy recommendation, so long as you do not have too high expectations and demands.
