Customer Ratings & Reviews

This laptop is fast and easy to setup. I am an architecture student and require a lot of design programs. I also needed a small laptop to fit in my backpack to travel to and from school. It fits perfect. The graphics are great for rendering. The touch screen is very precise and the keyboard is very comfortable. The battery life last long and takes no time to charge. The battery itself is compact and light. It also saves me money from buying a case since it comes with one. It also comes with two external ports that you can insert in the USB port for an Ethernet cord and a VGA cord. The only con I have about this laptop is the mouse pad. It's kinda loud but not enough to bother.

I purchased the ASUS Zenbook ux303ub laptop after reading the good reviews on here. I would be going from a lifelong Dell laptop owner to ASUS solely due to the fact this 13" model had a NVIDIA card. That was not an option on the Dell XPS 13. I have regretted my decision from day 1. The first thing I noticed after opening the box is the laptop didn't sit flat. If you hold it up and look at the keyboard from the front edge it is warped a bit on the right. I thought that was odd. The second issue was the touchpad. It is horrible. Between not detecting subtle movements to false clicks the thing is maddening. I was starting to think the warped body and touchpad issues were related. After finally accepting the fact I was going to have to live with a crooked laptop and horrible touchpad the right hinge started to make a popping sound when the lid was opened and closed. Eventually, the hinge on that side completely detached. I read numerous reviews other places about poorly designed hinges on the Zenbooks. Most of those reviews were for earlier models so I just assumed they would have had to have redesigned the hinges on this latest model. Apparently not. I contacted ASUS and they sent me back a nice form letter about how accidental damage is covered under their warranty. Accidental damage? I use this laptop just as frequently as I have used every Dell I have owned in the past. Those computers lasted years... this one broke in 3 months. to rub salt in the wound ASUS makes YOU spend the money to ship it back to California for repairs. With insurance using UPS ground that was $46. They also keep your laptop for 5-10 days. That means I am out about fifty bucks and I won't have a computer I rely on for business for about 2 weeks all at no fault of my own. If I could go back in time I would buy the Dell XPS 13 without hesitation. Partnering with ASUS has been a truly horrible experience. Beware.

Good computer. Fast processor, quality product and light.

The ZenBooks are pretty well designed. They are a bit hot at times and sometimes come with less than ideal RAID set ups. The touch screen works well but is not as useful as I'd hoped.
