ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A-DB72 13.3-Inch Ultrabook

I wanted an ultrabook with Windows 7, not Windows 8, and this one fit the bill. The screen resolution is fantastic and the speakers are excellent. The front facing camera is very good and video chats are excellent quality. The ultrabook is lightweight and easy to carry. It comes with a sleeve and can be carried around like a paper notebook if desired.

I bought this for my wife, a lawyer. She has no problems and it was very easy to get her up and running. Great battery life (I don't use it so I do not know the time but she is very please with the system). She takes it every where with her. The boot speed is excellent, 10 sec. She was using a full size notebook and did not like to take it to court it was very heavy and took a min. to boot.

This Ultrabook is excellent for her. We installed a remote hard drive hooked to her wireless router. This is used to store files since the hard drive is 256 Gi. All works well.

Would buy again.

I'm an IT guy, bought this for the boss, who is almost as technical as he thinks he is. He loves the machine. He was all about the Apple book because it was sleek and sexy, and with some luck we were able to talk him out of that and into a Windows machine. We chose this because specs were comparable to the apple, nice and thin and sleek. The specs are better and the machine runs as gret as expected. ASUS is known in our circle at least for fantastic and reliable parts. I build my servers with ASUS boards. The touchpad is large, which is against my personal preferance, but it is nicer to use than many others.

I purchased this Asus through Amazon late last year It worked perfectly initially but the keyboard is faulty and I have had to upload a virtual keyboard so that I can use it. Currently the "c" and the "k" are not working. There are others with the same problem according to the various tech web-sites. If it weren't for this extremely irritating factor I would recommend it highly as the screen, the portability are all exceptional. It is not as though it has been subject to over-use or travelI have had it mainly at home in benign conditions.

I have an older version of Zenbook, 256 Gb ss drive, and another even older machine with 128GB ss drive. Great machines, but disastrous keyboard and mouse.

The aluminum case is too soft, using USB mouse and keyboard works only as long as the connectors do not wear out. Fairly awkward, when one has to wiggle the connectors till it works..

Updating drivers for touch pad seem to work, but problems are back soon, perhaps with the next windows update. Getting old when one has to make sure not to brush the large touchpad accidentally when typing.. Not to mention having to watch for missing characters all the time. Forgt aout fast typing, when having to g back to correct missing characters all the time..

I can not understand why Asus did not fix it after so many complains. Mackbook Air does not seem to have such issues.

I wish there would be a built-in chip for wireless keyboard, mouse and monitor.

Otherwise this machine is close to perfect. (as long as the LCD screen does not crack). Again, probably the aluminum case is too soft in few places. Not unlike a Christmas candy foil. Just re-inforce it a little where needed!

I guess I am little irritated with these persisting problems, because otherwise this is definitely a great machine.

I would hope Asus finally realized, that they are really shooting themselves in the foot with these silly persisting issues.

Lousy drivers for keyboard and touchpad could be putting their otherwise great product to a "Mickey Mouse" category.
