The Asus Zenbook UX31E

If you’re looking for a notebook computer with clean, sleek design you should take a look at the Asus Zenbook UX31E. Not only does it have higher screen resolution than the MacBook Air, the computer specs are nearly equal - and it’s all at a more affordable price.

Intel is calling the new design in Window laptops “Ultrabooks”. These are notebook computers that feature high speed boot ups and super polished, modern design that are meant to compete with the Macbook Air. Of the onrush of Ultrabooks that made their way to the market in time for the holidays, one of the most eagerly awaited was the Asus Zenbook. The Zenbook isn’t ashamed of being styled after the Macbook Air. After all, the goal was to provide consumers with a lightweight and thin metal unibody computer that jumps into action when you need it and has a battery life that won’t leave you wanting more.

You won’t be thinking about comparisons, though. You’ll just be revelling in the beauty of this ultra-thin, ultra-light laptop. The minimum thickness is a bare .12” and the sexy brushed aluminium body weighs in at just 2.87 pounds. If you have a need for speed, you’ll find that the 2^nd Generation Intel^® Core^™ i5 processor provides what you’re looking for. It pops into active mode in a mere 2 seconds. And for those of you who insist upon auditory perfection, you’ll find the SonicMaster Audio will amaze you with its sound reproduction.
