Features
15.6" Full HD multitouch screen
Natural finger-touch navigation makes the most of Windows 8. The 1920 x 1080 resolution boasts impressive color and clarity. IPS technology offers wide viewing angles. Energy-efficient LED backlight.
3rd Gen Intel® Core™ i5-3317U processor
Ultra-low-voltage platform. Dual-core, four-way processing provides maximum high-efficiency power to go. Intel Turbo Boost Technology delivers dynamic extra power when you need it.
6GB system memory for dependable multitasking
Sufficient high-bandwidth RAM to smoothly run multiple applications and browser tabs all at once.
128GB solid state drive (SSD)
While offering less storage space than a hard drive, a flash-based SSD has no moving parts, resulting in faster start-up times and data access, no noise, and reduced heat production and power draw on the battery.
Basic UMA graphics
Unified Memory Architecture shares the total system memory with the processor. Suitable for basic productivity programs, everyday Internet use and movie playback, but may bog down with more graphics-intensive applications.

Q: QuestionWhich SSDWhat model SSD did you guys get in your ux31a. I'm talking brand, not size.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I asked the original question and on a trip to best buy recently I saw they had some in stock. The floor model had the adata drive so I bought one, Had a best buy employee open the otter box to see what sticker was on the inner box and was greeted with a sandforce sticker. Bought it and triple checked in my truck before leaving and indeed I got one with an adata drive. I highly suggest anyone who is within the 30 day return period and got a sandisk drive to go exchange for one with an adata drive. The adata is a good 10 times as fast in nearly every aspect. For the price it's worth your time and effort to get the better drive.

Q: QuestionExternal CD/DVD that works with this laptop?I bought the UX31A from Best Buy and love it. I needed an external CD/DVD player to install some software so bought the LG GP40. When installing the Cyberlink software, it screwed up the USB driver and after a call to ASUS support required removal of the software and reinstalling device drivers for the USB. It also wanted to install some other junk software with the install. Returned it to BB and bought the ASUS external CD/DVD with the carrying case X401BUNDLE-B1 Accessory Pack ODD. Tried to install it and the software allows the drive to be recognized, but nothing happens when a DVD movie is put in the drive. You can see the drive and the titles, but nothing plays, even when you click on one of them. Anyone else have better luck with another brand or version external CD/DVD drive for this laptop?
Asked by CamPark.
- A:Answer I bought this on Amazon: ASUS External Slim Black 8X DVD-RW Stylish Diamond Cut Design Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U/BLK/G/AS I haven't actually played a movie with it but using it to install software had no problem at all.

Q: QuestionReal-world performance... and possibly, the upgraded model?Hi all, wondering if anyone can chime in on the real-world performance of this system - I understand the SSD is super fast (that's awesome), and the graphics card is meh (which is probably fine for me). I just want to know how folks find the performance when using Photoshop, Illustrator, and an IDE like Dreamweaver or Zend? I've usually got two of those three open at once. Don't do much video editing. Does it do ok at graphics work though? Also, it's been a couple months since someone chimed in - any word on the i7 / 256gb version??? Thanks!
Asked by Joe.
- A:Answer Here are some performance tests conducted by PC Mag on this specific model. BTW it received their Editors Choice award. http://www.pcmag.com/image_popup/0,1740,iid=369252,00.asp
