Intel defines this new category of systems as "thin, light and beautiful designs that are less than 21mm (0.8 inch) thick, and [positioned] at mainstream prices."

Review: Asus Zenbook UX31

By TechRadar, published 28-10-2011

OverviewThe Asus Zenbook UX31 is one of the first laptops to conform to Intel's Ultrabook specification.And, right away, we'll tell you - it stands toe-to-toe with Apple's MacBook Air in the fight for the title of best luxury ultraportable. More competition is to come, however, in the form of the Lenovo IdeaPad U300 S, Acer Aspire S3 and, potentially, others from the likes of HP and Dell.Back to the present though and Asus has done a terrific job with the Zenbook's design - even if you have to acknowledge that the designer took more than a sneaky glance at Apple's ultraportable first.The 13-inch Zenbook is fantastic to look at. When closed, the wedge-shaped laptop measures 17mm at its thickest point and a mere 3mm at its thinnest.The aluminium silver lid boasts a distinctive concentric cir...

Asus Zenbook to MacBook Air: Let's Dance

By MaximumPC, published 10-12-2011

Asus this week unveiled its first Ultrabook, the Zenbook. Much to the delight of Intel, the Zenbook starts at a buck shy of $1,000, but with twice the storage of Apple's $999 MacBook Air and with a faster processor to boot. The Zenbook is as much about style and portability as it is function. It measures 0.11 inches thin at the front and 0.67 inches at the rear, and sports a silver exterior panel with a concentric circle design that refracts a halo of light, Asus says. There are five different models to choose from: UX21E-DH52 (11.6 inches), UX21E-DH71 (11.6 inches), UX31E-DH52 (13.3 inches), UX31E-DH53 (13.3 inches), and UX31E-DH72 (13.3 inches). The main difference between the $999 UX21E-DH52 and $1,199 UX21E-DH71 is the former features an Intel Core i5 2467M processor and the latter bri...

Hands on: Asus Zenbook review

By TechRadar, published 10-12-2011

When Asus unveiled its Zen ultraportable, it received a standing ovation. It had nothing to do with the Moet and Chandon that was circulating at the launch event, or the fact that The Gadget Show's Suzi Perry was showing it off.OK, so it was kind of half that, but mostly it was the skinny build of Asus' masterpiece that prompted the clapping. We'll tell you right now, the Asus Zenbook is the most impressive laptop we've seen in months.The Asus Zenbook is just 3mm thick at the front and 9mm thick at the rear. You could sever a head with this thing if you were so inclined. That's some advertising we really want to see: "Asus Zenbook - can slice through zombies if you're trapped in some horrific post-apocalyptic version of Earth."Despite the slim build, Asus has found room on the Zenb...
