How to buy ASUS Zenbook for 10 thousand less

In fact, he is not worth 27 thousand rubles, and the total 559$. And this review will focus on how to buy it just for the money.

How do you think it might cost ultrabook, a thickness of only 1 mm larger than the Macbook Air and 50 grams heavier? Until now, the answer to this question would begin about 40 000 rubles. Until he came ...

ASUS Zenbook UX32A-DB31

We love ultrabooks for their lightness and compactness. And we do not like them because each saved gram or 1 100 mm costing us dearly.

Benchmark here is the already mentioned Macbook Air: the most easy, the most delicate and the most expensive... The ASUS could surprise here? And the fact that just one (1) mm thick and 50 grams of extra weight we save as much as 14 000! The retail price of Asus Zenbook UX32A starts at 27,000 rubles, compared with 41 000 for a Macbook with the same diagonal screen.

But that's not all. Asus Zenbook has a much greater potential to surprise, because in fact it is not worth 27 thousand rubles, and the total 559$. And this review will focus on how to buy it just for the money.

But we leave for dessert, but for now let us consider the object of our attention to detail.

Appearance

Aluminum unibody-body Zenbook UX32A - is the first thing that catches your eye. It not only looks beautiful, but also feels nice - always cool, sleek and stylish. In this regard, ASUS did not split hairs - the case is the same as that of Prime, just a little harder, since it was decided to improve the fastening of the cover, which is used to close and open very tight. Now it opens easily and disappeared feeling that just about anything will crack.

Due, in particular, housing ultrabuka weight is only 1.45 kg at the following sizes:

• Length: 325 mm
• Width: 223 mm
• Thickness: 18 mm

Wherein 18 mm - is the thickness at the thickest part Zenbook, just where the loops are connected and the housing cover. And the thinnest part Zenbuka only 5.5 mm thick.

Ultrabuka screen size is 13.3 inches - the optimal size for such devices. He brushed, LED-backlit display and has excellent color reproduction. But on the resolution ASUS decided to save. Unlike his older brother with Prime FullHD, in this Zenbook resolution of 1366 × 768. On the other hand, HD quality on this screen is more than enough, and the battery at the same time working longer. In general, the cut, but not worsened.

The following interfaces are on housing:

• 3x USB 3.0
• mini VGA
• HDMI
• microphone input, audio / headphone output
• an SD card reader

It's all at the level of big-budget models: USB - only 3.0; HDMI - 1.4a version, not the newest, but perfectly fulfills its mission and supports 3D.

The keyboard is traditional for such devices. ASUS should be commended for what brings the arrow buttons in a separate block, albeit conditionally. But most importantly (again, nice inheritance from Prime) - keyboard in Zenbook UX32A backlit. Rare ultrabook or even a laptop for the money (about the price we'll talk about later) offers similar functionality.

The touchpad is easy to use, use it really nice. It is interesting that the Prime was worse, and many criticized him, but for this "budget" model, it still improved.

The hardware

As it became clear from the above, Zenbook looks almost twin brother Prime, if not saved. But stuffed poeksperientirovali:

• Processor: Core i3 1,4 GHz
• Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000
• Memory: 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz
• Drives: HDD 300GB + SSD 24GB
• Connectivity: Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11n
• Sound: Stereo speakers. developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower®
• Webcam: 1.3 MP camera with recording in HD
• Battery: 6520 mAh

Here things are not so simple as it seems. The dual-core Intel Core i3 processor with a frequency of 1.4 GHz and a graphics card Intel HD Graphics 3000 is not so good by today's standards. But they are sufficient for the whole of what was intended, and this Zenbook. Play or engage in video encoding on such a device is unlikely to, and on the other tasks he will cope well.

Everything else is pretty good: as a bunch of non-volatile memory installed HDD + SSD, RAM memory and at least 4 GB but it is fast (DDR3 1600 MHz) and, if desired, can be installed on another bar 4 GB. Bluetooth - a modern, Wi-Fi 802.11 n - fast.

The last thing I want to tell you - at work. The manufacturer promises 6 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. Not every "fat" laptop can boast of such data. Of course, 6 hours - not a record for the Ultrabook, but there will be enough for an ordinary student or working hours.
