So-so CPU performance
No touch or backlit keyboard option
If you're into those

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

Mediocre performance

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
I was never a fan of 13.3-inch screen size, nor I was ready to sacrifice the graphical performance for great battery life or ultra-slim form factor. But this Zenbook UX305LA has convinced me not to buy these big bulky laptops anymore.With the irresistible...
If you ask us, this laptop is a pretty good buy option for the amount of money it costs. If you have more money to spend, we would say you should consider the Dell XPS 13 but if you are planning to buy this one or are restricted to budget constraints, the...
Small, extremely handy, Aesthetic all metal build, Designed like big Ultrabooks
No touch Screen, keyboard backlight, Average battery backup
Asus Zenbook UX305F is a good attempt from Asus in making a light, ergonomic and good looking Windows 10 machine that lives up to its class and warrants a comparatively lesser price. This includes, and is majorly due to, the performance UX305F can deliver...

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...
Study, slim and light, Very good keyboard, trackpad and screen, Good battery life, Excellent value for money
Middling CPU and graphics performance, No touchscreen or keyboard backlight
There's a lot to like about the Asus ZenBook UX305F. In fact, it's very nearly a power user's dream come true. It looks great and is extremely easy to carry around. There are clever elements of design throughout, but no extraneous fluff that seems to have...
Gets a bit hot, soft sound system, lags at high loads, All in all, the ASUS ZenBook UX305F ultrabook is clearly built for individuals who like to have their laptops on the go with its lightweight portability and its great battery life. The beautiful scr
I will be honest, when I first laid my hands on this device I thought it would be around RM3600 because of how great it looks in terms of finishing and build quality. So for around RM2999 this is quite a bargain, but for a home/work environment of course...
Thin design, Full HD Screen, Full complement of ports
Stiff buttons on touchpad, Core M is enough just for productivity

Abstract: The ASUS ZenBook is a piece of super-thin ultrabook that is set directly to the portable-yet-decent-performance market, particularly the MacBook Air's segment in the market, though on Windows. In short though, I have to say that ASUS did a very good job.T...
