    So 7 months later my hinges are still like new. No problems with my laptop. Nitpicks are I wish the power and HDMI ports were on the other side. SD card sticks out halfway so not transportable with SD card inserted. WIFI reception could be better. Yellows are not quite up to par on screen. With dedicated graphics, light weight, thinness factor and touch screen I still have no regrets in purchasing.

    I recently bought a pair of bluetooth headphones, but I can't get them to connect to my UX303. I can connect just fine with my cell phone from the laptop, and my cell phone can connect to the headphones. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for bluetooth (from the Asus support page) and I tried disabling and enabling the bluetooth radio but to no avail. Has anybody else had this issue?

    Upgrading to a Samsung EVO will do the trick, but if you really want to max out your storage, you can buy the biggest SD/MMC card you are willing to spend money on and keep that permanently lodged in the slot for some extra storage. The speed certainly isn't as good as SSD, but it should be faster than any HDD.

    As for the bluetooth, I upgraded all the drivers to the very latest versions (which suprisingly are not the ones on the ASUS support site; I had to go straight to the Intel downloads site to find the 2016 ones) and after all of that not working, I finally figured out that I had to put my headphones into discovery mode to get it to link. ::facepalm::

    Yeah I was thinking buying one EVO. But as for SD card it will be always half in and half out or is there any way to work around that issue?

    LOL it happens. But I always update directly from Intel website

    Yeah I bought this one on AliExpress and after a few "manual tweaks" my SD Card doesn't sticks out anymore.
    I just have a little "bump" but it's good
