Product Description

Bloatware can slow down your computer and junk up your Start screen or desktop.

When you buy a Signature Edition PC like this UX305FA-USM1, there's no third-party junkware or trialware installed so your computer can run to its full potential.
A sampling of new PCs with Signature showed an average battery life 28 minutes longer than the same PCs without Signature, an average start-up improvement of 104%, and they shut down 35% faster. PCs with Signature come pre-loaded with Windows Defender, an antivirus program that never expires and includes updates without ever asking for your credit card.
• // • Solid build quality: The Zenbook's all-aluminum body makes it durable and tough, while its sturdy metal hinge keeps the display steady at every angle. It's pretty luxurious, too, built from a single block of aluminum that's finished with ASUS' signature spun-metal finish on the lid. • Powerful Intel Core M-5Y10 processor: Built for razor-thin, ultra-mobile devices, the Intel Core M combines blazing-fast speed, exceptional energy efficiency, and an ultra-quiet fanless design. • Brilliant Full HD display: Everything looks sharp and crisp in Full HD. And with a matte finish, the Zenbook's screen eliminates glare and reflections, even in bright outdoors light. • // • Color: Obsidian Stone • Optical drive: None • Media drive: 2-in-1 (SD/SDHC) • Audio: ICEpower with Bang and Olufsen Technology • Video: Intel HD Graphics 5300 with shared graphics memory • Battery: 3-cell 45WHr polymer • Camera: 720p webcam • Wireless: 802.11a/g/n (Miracast enabled) • Bluetooth: Yes, Bluetooth 4.0 • Dimensions: 12.75 x 8.89 x 0.48 in (324 x 226 x 12.3 mm) • Weight: 2.65 lbs (1.20 kg) • Keyboard travel: 0.94 mm • Touchpad dimensions: 105 x 73 mm • TPM 2.0 • Ports: 3 USB 3.0 (1 charge) • Micro HDMI • Headphone output/Microphone input combo • LAN (10/100/1000 via included USB to Ethernet adapter)

My search for a new computer ended with the Zenbook

By Amazon Customer TOP 100 REVIEWER on April 21, 2015

░░░░░UM, WOW!!!░░░░░

͡° ͜ʖ ͡°

I bought the non-signature edition which is the same computer as the signature edition without the additional bloatware (pre-loaded 'free sample' software). The hardware is the same so I wanted to share my hardware review here.

Let me just say that I have researched just about every device sold in the United States that has a 13 inch screen in my quest to replace my dying laptop. It's been a thoroughly exhaustive search. But the search is now over! I've tested every device from Chromebooks to Mac Books to giving up and just reading a book. The Zenbook is where my quest ends!

I just got my Zenbook tonight and it has been a great experience right from the unboxing. I'll start with the packaging because it deserves mentioning. The Amazon box was huge, the size of a VCR from 1981. Inside that was a plain box for the Zenbook about the size of 1995 VCR. Inside that box was a very nice fancy box about the size of a board game box. That box was well cushioned inside the 1995 VCR box. Inside that was the Zenbook. So the thing ships VERY well protected from drops by the delivery service. I have never been impressed by packaging much, but this one managed to do it.

Once I got the machine turned on I tried Windows 8 for the first time.........and 5 minutes late I learned how well the Classic Shell app works to make Windows look normal. I originally intended to put Ubuntu on it as I'm a Linux fan, but with Classic Shell Windows 8.1 has been working great and I've opted to keep it on there for the 6 weeks since I bought the system. It's very stable and the 'instant on' feature is awesome.

Now the hardware....

Overall Review- Using the machine from a web development point of view

By Cameron Billings on March 19, 2015

Verified Purchase

Just received this laptop yesterday (the signature USM1 edition) and it's been fantastic so far. I unfortunately didn't keep track of how long the battery lasted me but it lasted for a significant amount of time. This package came with a screen cloth, a USB to gigabit ethernet adapter, the charger (of course), and an extra wire velcro tie.

I didn't experience any noticeable slowdowns during the entirety of my usage. I'm a web developer so the first thing I did was setup one of my development environments. I'm currently running WAMP/mysql and a node.js server with ATOM text editor. Along with those two local servers running I was running Chrome (with varying # of tabs from 7-15) and MySQL Workbench. Everything seemed to be lightning fast with everything opened and moving. The laptop to my surprise also stayed very cool. It warmed slightly in the center towards the bottom of the screen but everywhere my hands were felt cool to the touch. I'll eventually install Visual Studio and RStudio most likely and see how those run.

The reason why I rate this a 4/5 is because the trackpad seemed to be creating audible "click" noises when being tapped on. The noises seemed too loud to be normal (like the trackpad may have been loose). I submitted a customer server request and am waiting to hear back. Strange thing is though after I submitted the review and went mobile with my laptop, that problem seemed to stop. It does have a pretty audible press-down click though which should be noted before buying if you're the type of person that gets bothered by that.

I gave the speakers a try with a few different types of music. The audio level is fine and you can fine tune (as I did) the audio in the SmartAudio software they provide.Read more ›

ASUS Zenbook UX305 Signature Edition Review: Beautiful, Capable, Flawed, Recommended.

By Andy on May 21, 2015

A number of points before you begin reading this review. Firstly, this review is from a software developer’s perspective of this laptop. As such, I am of a certain (high) technical capability, and have specific use cases I am looking for fulfilment in a laptop. Like any device, this laptop will serve some use cases better than others. What works and doesn’t work for me with this laptop may not be the same for you; as such, you should know what you’re wanting in a laptop, and evaluate this accordingly. Secondly, the model under review is the Signature version of the UX305. Signature edition versions of laptops have most-all of the pre-installed manufacturer programs (commonly known as “bloatware”) removed, leaving you with a (mostly) unadulterated Windows installation. As such, while most of the points about this laptop will still equally apply to the non-signature version, be aware of the difference as this review progresses.

== TL;DR Conclusion ==
The ASUS UX305 is a beautiful, solidly built, capable, yet flawed device that will serve any use case up to but not including serious gaming, 3D modelling, and likewise applications. While a number of compromises have been made, such as no backlight on the keyboard and a decidedly average battery life, the UX305 represents a very reasonably priced option for the on-the-go developer / business-person, or simply the personal user wanting a sleek head-turner without Apple’s price tag. A recommended buy.

== Introduction ==
The ASUS UX305 is certainly not ASUS’ first foray into the ultrabook world and, considering their success in the space, is likely not going to be their last. However, the UX305 does represent a significant leap in product quality from earlier models in ASUS’ mid-range ultrabook line.Read more ›

Good definition. Touchpad could be a little smoother in operation. Speaker is volume deficient. Sleek and snazzy. Overall a pretty good purchase.
