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
Core M can lag in performance
Quiet speakers
No backlit keyboard
Webcam has poor white balance
No touch screen
Keyboard isn't backlit
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
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 high-end laptop and even sports a good array of connections.Somehow Asus has produced a laptop that feels...

Lightweight and slim design, Completely silent operation, Bright matte display
Poor quality speakers, Difficult to open at times
The ASUS UX305 is a well-performing Ultrabook that is easy to grab and tote around for most of the day. It does have some minor design flaws and the speakers are just unacceptable, but if you're willing to look past that, you've got yourself a pretty li...
Excelente y atractivo diseño: fino y ligero, Calor y ruido muy controlados, Potencia más que suficiente para un uso diario y mucho más, Pantalla FullHD, Interl Core i7 Skylake de bajo consumo, 8 GB de RAM., Buena autonomía
Sin conector ethernet; habría estado bien un adaptador por USB con el bundle
A nivel de CPU, el ZenBook UX305FA se comporta excelentemente. El rendimiento no es equiparable en términos de datos puros con un procesador de la misma gama pero sin la U de bajo consumo, como es lógico, pero a buen seguro que no nos quedaremos sin poten...
