New Asus Zenbook UX31A, UX21A, UX32Vd, UX32A

Just saw this on the verge. Looks like Asus really listened to the feedback on the first gen models and came back with a 2nd generation that handidly one-ups the competition IMO.

What do you guys think?

 

Amazing ultra-thin design that'll surely compete with Apple, though as others have said, price is rather steep. If recent rumours about the new MBP is correct, it would share similar thin-and-light characteristics with the MBA. Why then, wouldn anyone want to pick up the ASUS? Their entire UX lineup needs to be $150 or so cheaper in order to be competitive.

 

now thats what Im looking for. I have a 13in now that i will be looking to upgrade but i want a good proc and a 1080p screen. I was looking at 15in laptops but if I can have that and a gpu all in a 13in asus...... take my money now asus...

 

The 1080p IPS screen looks pretty tasty, but the 165 pixel density would make me think twice.

 

It will be interesting to see that other manufacturers have to offer. For now, Asus seems to have set the standard for others to compete with. I would wait and see what Sony and Lenovo have in store before giving Asus my hard earned cash. Plus, I truly hate Asus service here in the US.
