The editors didn't like
Keyboard is not backlit
Underwhelming battery life
Lacks keyboard backlight
So-so CPU performance
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
Touchpad can be finicky
Mostly with regards to clicking
Middling performance in testing. No touch screen. Speakers are disappointing

Intel Core M is slower than Core i series
Mediocre performance
No USB-C port for charging or external display
Keys aren't backlit
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
The premium-feeling yet affordably-priced Zenbook UX305 is a great success in my book. While it doesn't tick every box, and you can't expect it given the price with the imperfect screen and couple of rough edges. However, if you're looking for a nippy lit...
Great screen, Top value, Good battery life, Fetching design
Weak speakers, No keyboard backlight, Not terribly powerful
Asus has hit it out of the park with the ZenBook UX305. It's as slim and good-looking as a 13in Apple MacBook Air, possesses as good a display as any £1000 laptop and even sports a good array of connections. Somehow Asus has produced a laptop that feels ...
Featherweight and super slim, Outstanding keyboard, High contrast, glare-free 1080p display, Very affordable
Modest performance
Asus' Zenbook UX305 reaffirms the brand's position as the premier building of budget ultrabooks. A mere $700 will snag you a lightweight system with a solid 1080p display, class-leading keyboard and twice the hard drive capacity found in most competitors...
beautiful and sturdy built, packs a great matte display, fanless hardware, fast enough for basic everyday use, EXCELLENT price
the keyboard is not backlit, can get hot, somewhat slow WiFi when not in close proximity of a router, only average battery life
If you're looking for a sleek and well built 13 inch ultraportable for light everyday activities, the Asus Zenbook UX305 could be the one for you. It's extremely competitive priced, as it starts at $699 for a solid configuration, it's very sleek, packs an...

The new ZenBook is a great home for Intel's new Core M processor, which proved up to basic daily tasks in Windows with no obvious lag in the interface. Good battery life and decent screen quality are further plus points to a well-made case with a familiar...
GPU is too weak, Keyboard could be better, We expected more from the audio
The Acer UX305 will suit anyone looking for a transportable laptop, especially users who favour endurance over power. We particularly liked its design, speed and value for money....
Incredibly thin and light, Phenomenal battery life, Good 1080p screen, Exceptional value, Beautifully made
Performance is compromised, Trackpad isn't the best, No keyboard backlighting
The Asus UX305 is almost perfection in affordable ultra-portable laptops. Its stylish, well built, incredibly light and has a screen, keybaord and battery life to rival the best. All for under £650. A tiny slip-up with the trackpad and a definite comprom...
Asus unveiled the UX305, its newest flagship laptop at IFA 2014 this week. The device, it claims, is the world's thinnest 13-in QHD+ ultrabook, giving it one of the highest pixel densities of any computers on the market. It faces competition from the Leno...
It's not coming out until next year, and has no price as yet, so the question is should you be excited by this? Yes, but expect rivals. We're bound to see more Intel Core M laptops in the coming months, and we wager Apple can't be far away from a similar...
