    I'm in the market for a new laptop/ultrabook, and the Zenbooks caught my eye. But then, I got completely confused by the different models, and as usual ASUS support were very unhelpful. Here goes my question:

    What is the difference between the UX305 LA and the UX303LA? As far as I can tell they have the exact same specifications - i5 Broadwell, 256SSD, 8GB RAM, FHD screen. Not to be confused with the 305 FA, which has the Core M.

    Are both of these fanless? Is the 303LB the only one with active cooling?

    And finally, since all the other manufacturers are starting to release their Skylake systems, should I expect Asus to update the 303s to Skylake soon too (in other words, should I wait a little bit before I buy one of the current models?
