Comments about ASUS Zenbook UX31E-DH53 Ultrabook 13.3" Notebook Computer:
My old laptop died and I needed an immediate replacement, so hesitantly I bought this given it seemed the best of a sad landscape for PC mobiles right now (not counting macs which are awesome but don't work for me). The screen has a nice high res, but fundamentally it is inferior TN tech like in almost all PC mobiles. Terrible color inversion issues when viewing media. I see apparently the upcoming replacement for this laptop has IPS panels (which are common in Apple products) that would solve this major flaw. I wish I would have bought that :(.

Comments about ASUS Zenbook UX31E-DH53 Ultrabook 13.3" Notebook Computer:
I wanted a small and lightweight laptop for home use to replace my 6 year old Dell laptop. Wasn't interested in a tablet because I don't like the virtual keyboard. Bought at B&H one day and arrived via UPS one day later about a month ago. Very thin, very light and really good looking. That's how my wife wanted me to describe her. I had to add that the aluminum case also makes it cold to the touch. I looked a the Macbook but really wasn't comfotable going to Apple OS. Also didn't like how peripheirals connect and the touchpad as much as the Asus. 2 USB ports (one is 3.0), micro HDMI plus SD card slot if I need more storage space. Sound is very good when playing videos. Screen brightness is amazing. I find keyboard comfortable. Only complaint is I wish keysboard was backlit like others are but I there were too many other positives. Got the 256 GB SDD. Response time is good. Re-starts very quickly when you open lid. Face recognition too but that is a little hit and miss if you are not in the same kind of lighting. I actually like the touchpad and how scrolling pages with 2 fingers is possible. No problems. Doing all the Windows updates took a while. Connected with my home wireless without a hitch and re-connects every time without ay hiccups. Also connected to my wireless at work again with no problems the first tme or any time since. I can get 5-6 hours of internet use without a problem, maybe longer. Power cord is good although I too feel the plug into the laptop does feel it could be easily broken. It's just something I know I will know I want to be careful with, hopefull for years. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. No problems since day one. Would recommend this to anyone debating a tablet vs. ultrabook.
