    I check Amazon and these laptops look decent. Can anyone explain pros and cons? The 305 costs a bit more is it worth it. Also the 305 they have it in 12gb ram and i7 processor. Is that worth the big price difference?


    What does bother me in reviews is they seem to have the sleep issue. Is that common? I have a similar issue with my Asus u45jc where it would just sleep then you have to wait a bit or restart the computer which is very annoying and not acceptable. Also u read the delete key is right next to power button. How annoying is this? Which of these 3 is the best or not that much difference between the first two?

    Also would MacBook Pro or air be preferred than those? I have an i7 quad core laptop that went bad and I need a new laptop and theses reviews from Asus definitely bothers me. Doesn't seem many bad reviews from MacBook. However if I get MacBook I use boot camp brcuse I have to use Windows. So even if I buy a Mac I have to use Windows. Opinions?

    Macbook will deliver better quality over time I thing, but every new electronics is made to be good until the warrantly is over. After that everithing is luck. I have the ux305 and so far everuthing is alright. Maybe the best windows ultrabook machine when we search for best price/ perfrormance ratio. Sleep problem haven't heard of. I thing both macbook air and ux305/306 will deliver the performance but as far as quality goes one point more for apple. Everything else favours the ux305. And this machines are NOT for gaming, whatever the reviews say the heat inside is number one laptop killer.
