Design và exterior
With the Zenbook Infinity, asus tries to get ahead of its competitors in a segment filled with beautiful and fast machines. For that, they changed the overall aspect from the previous Zenbooks, in order to make a better first impression with this new entry.
As a result, glass covers the lid, & that’s no ordinary glass, but Gorilla Glass 3, which should make the surface scratch proof. On the other hand, smudges & fingerprints are part of the menu with this finishing, especially on the Navy blue version that we have here. These won’t show as easily on the trắng model.
Gaming temperatures
As for the noise, well, the two fans inside this unit will spin fast and fairly loud, once again, when pushing the laptop. My non-professional iPhone app measures about 44-45 db under load (running Cinebench 11.5) at 30 centimet away from the laptop. When using it lightly though, they’ll turn completely OFF, which makes the UX301 ultra-silent.
All those being said, there are only a few things left khổng lồ talk about before drawing the line here. For instance, I should mention the good connectivity options, as the UX301 does support Wireless AC và Bluetooth 4.0 (Plus LAN, with the included adapter).
The intel 7260 wireless module is a reliable performer, although the wireless range on this laptop is only average & could have been better.
Besides that, you should know that there’s a webcam with dual-array microphones on this ultrabook, decent for quick hangouts and clip calls.
And you do get a good sound system as well, as the two speakers carved on the sides of the máy vi tính deliver punchy & high-quality audio, but only if you take some time to tweak the output đầu ra with the included Audio Wizard application.
Battery life
Back lớn more important aspects, let’s take a few second & talk about the battery life you’ll be getting with this Zenbook. There’s a 6 Cell 50 Wh battery on this máy vi tính and with average use, that includes browsing, editing documents, listening some music, watching some clips, with the screen at một nửa and Wi-Fi ON, that’s enough lớn keep it running for about 6 to 7 hours.
If you’ll use it lightly & dim the screen even more, you could easily get 8+ hours of life on a charge, but on the other hand, while running games, the UX301 will run out of juice much quicker (I’d reckon you’ll get up to 90 minutes of gaming).

Wrap-up

However, you bởi get most of these, slightly better or worse, on other good ultrabooks available these days, like the Acer Aspire S7-392, the Sony Vaio Pro, the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro or the Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus.
On the Zenbook UX301 there’s the higher nguồn hardware option, available on this top configuration. Is it worth paying around $2200 or over 2000 euros for it? Well, that’s up khổng lồ you to decide.
On the other hand, the cheapest hãng asus UX301 starts at about 1300 euros over here, with a Full HD screen, a vi xử lý core i5 processor, 4 GB of RAM and the 128 GB SSD, which is not cheap, but is more or less on par with the prices Acer, Samsung, or the others are asking for their similar ultrabooks.
But the Sony Vaio Pro on the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro are cheaper with a similar configuration.
Those being said, if you’re after performances (photo or đoạn phim editing, programming), the UX301 with the chip core i7-4558U should definitely be on your short-list. However, if you’re looking at a cheaper ultrabook, the UX301 is just one of the good options out there.
