Thin, light, and attractive, Handsome full HD display, Comfortable keyboard and touch pad, Good battery life, Fanless and silent
Mediocre performance, No backlit keyboard, No touch screen
An 0.8GHz Core M processor leaves this slim and sleek ultrabook a bit short on performance, but it's otherwise a great little laptop for its $699 price. Read More…...
The ASUS Zenbook UX305 was found to be a very well built Intel Ultrabook that is easily affordable. At first we were doubtful that the Intel Core M processor would be able to perform the tasks that we wanted to do, but we were pleased with the performance...

Yes—unless you can afford to pay more! The Asus UX305 is a well-rounded laptop at a great $700 price, but you can get an even better one for just a little bit more money. At $800, the Dell XPS 13 is slightly better in almost every single way, with longer...

Solid construction, Good mix of features for the price, Good keyboard and OK trackpad, Microsoft Signature edition is available, Good battery life, Good port selection, Decent 1080p IPS panel with a matte finish, which is becoming rare, Fanless
No touch or backlit keyboard option, if you're into those, Some backlight bleed around the edges of the display, Core M and the HD 5300 GPU are significantly slower than Broadwell-U or Haswell-U, Dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi instead of 802.11ac

Abstract: Video review: At first glance, you might mistake the ASUS ZenBook UX305 as a dark-gray edition of the 13-inch MacBook Air. It shares nearly the same design cues and size, but is thinner than the Apple notebook is at its thickest point, and weighs less. It also beats many...

Thin and light, solid and sexy, and quiet as a mouse. Twice the RAM and storage of competing models from Apple and Dell, but for less money. Gorgeous screen, comfy keyboard, allday battery
My kingdom for backlit keys. Lacks the sex appeal of Dell's onlyslightlypricier XPS 13. Oddball screenhinge design can cause some slippage while you type. Weak builtin speakers are an affront to ears everywhere
Abstract: Asus may have copied the MacBook Air wholesale with its ZenBook range, first launched in 2011. But with this year's new ZenBook UX305F the Taiwan manufacturer pipped Apple to the post by coming to market first with its Air clone using the intriguing new I...

Thin and light. Aluminum construction. Fanless design, thanks to Intel Core M processor. Full HD-resolution display. Comfortable keyboard and touchpad. All-day battery life in our tests.
Middling performance in testing. No touch screen. Speakers are disappointing
With its ultraslim profile, the Asus Zenbook UX305FA-ASM1 midrange ultraportable certainly redefines the concept of thin. Unfortunately, its performance isn't as impressive....
The Asus Zenbook UX305 is an affordable portable ultrabook that almost feels like a no-compromise machine. Clearly you shouldn't expect the same kind of performance from a $699 laptop as you'd get from a high-end device that sells for twice the price, b...
ASUS has crafted an elegant experience with the UX305. The body is a sleek creation of aluminum, the device is very thin, and at 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) in weight, it is very portable. The UX305 could easily be mistaken for a device which costs far more than its...
