    I do a lot of traveling for my job and needed a notebook that would give me access to email as well as allow me VPN access to company resources. This was the perfect combination. The instant on feature is great. I don't really carry media in the form of movies or other content so the 128 gig SSD hard drive is fine. I have been using this for about 5 months.

      Comments about ASUS Zenbook UX21E-DH52 Ultrabook 11.6" Notebook Computer:

      I bought this laptop for my girlfriend who is a flight attendant. She was desperately in need of the Zenbook, as her usual 15 inch laptop was just taking up too much space in her totebag. Now, she has to double check sometimes to make sure she put the Zenbook back in her bag, it's so light and portable. Awesome product and can't beat the price and service I got at B&H!!!!

      good portable notebook

      Comments about ASUS Zenbook UX21E-DH52 Ultrabook 11.6" Notebook Computer:

      I am not running any heavy program on it, so generally I am having a good experience with the zenbook. The portability and metallic surface are what I like about it. The only thing I am not so comfortbale with is that the wide screen seems too wide for me...(I haven't used an 11' laptop before).

        Only a couple negatives so far.
        face recognition is a little temperamental - would rather have a fingerprint reader.
        needs at least one more usb port squeezed into it.

              This is the first personal machine I've had in a while and I could not be happier. It was easy to set up, packaging was simple and pretty (pretty = well done, not pretty = fussy). The design is sleek and efficient. The 11 inch is plenty big enough. It does require some external attachments, but the trade offs (gorgeous, lightweight, powerful for my needs) are more than worth it. The mouse/track pad took a bit to get used to, but it's just a little different from my previous machine. I haven't really pushed the battery yet so can't comment on that

                The computer is beautifully designed, both on the exterior and in its overall user interface.
                The touchpad is sensitive and has cool features - you can go back to the desktop or show all open applications by a quick move of 3 fingers.
                The sound and graphics are superb.

                  This is a quality product, very portable and 95% of the time it is great to use.

                  The only downside is the touchpad, but that does improve with driver updates (and changing driver settings to switch half the features off).
