This notebook is amazing. Start up is lightning fast.
I gave it 4 stars because when I first order it, the item was not good. There was a clicking noise right under the esc tab (I assumed it was a fan problem), the wifi connection kept disconnecting and the usb ports were not working. I reported it to bh photo and advise for refund. They advised me to reorder (which I did and got the 2nd one the next day). Then they issued RMA, returned it, and after 10 days they issued a full refund which was awesome.
The 2nd one was/is working fantastic until I downloaded the Webroot anti-virus that comes with the notebook. The said anti-virus had messed up my notebook. So I had to restore it to its default factory setting.
Overall, this notebook is pretty amazing. I had hp tablet pc before, it had the same keyboard. So I have no problem with the keyboard unlike others do. Battery lasts for 4-5 hours.
I am very happy choosing this notebook.

Comments about ASUS Zenbook UX21E-DH71 Ultrabook 11.6" Notebook Computer:
Keyboard does need to get used to, but should not be that long. Touch pad does a bit too sensitive in the end i choose to use mouse and switch off the touch pad.
But it really is good looking, nice audio sound, super fast on start up and shut down process, very light, adaptor really convenient as it is very small and easy to carry around.
Tried to install some legendary games such as Heroes Might & Magic V and it works well.
I travel a lot and this ultrabook suits me well.
Note: Excellent service from B&H for non-US customer. I live in Hong Kong, ordered this item on monday afternoon and received it by Thursday afternoon!!

Super-light powerhouse ultrabook is everything that I hoped for. 2-second start-up from sleep. Bright screen, great keyboard. USB2 & USB3. Nice touchpad. Battery life is the only thing I would ask more of.

Comments about ASUS Zenbook UX21E-DH71 Ultrabook 11.6" Notebook Computer:
Very slick design, looks impressive, very light and slim, exactly as advertised.
Quite fast, but sometimes the touchpad hangs whilst other processes hog things.
Keypad not quite as tactile as a larger format notebook, but still quite OK.
International delivery by B&H was unbelievably fast. Excellent service.
Nice compact charger with a long cord.
