    Hey so I'm looking at this model of the Zenbook Prime on the Microsoft store ... UX31A-R5102H. The resolution in the technical specs says 1600x900 - I thought all primes come with 1080p resolution... what's going on?

    I've seen Zenbooks with 1366x768 resolution as well. In any case, I would not assume that this model has a 1080p screen.

    you can find a 1920x1080 ux31a, mine is a 1080p display
    for 1366x769 it is probably ux32a

    Did you guys even read my question? I didn't say anything about 1366 resolution, I said 1600x900... and I'm talking about the Zenbook PRIME.

    Anyway it turns out the R5102H is indeed a variant of the prime with the lower resolution ... I had to scour the forums to find this out. But does anyone know the difference between the UX31A-DB51, the UX31A-R5102F and the UX31A-R5102H??

    Not all the Zenbook has the same screen. For 1080p, please look for UX31A-DB51, UX32VD-DB71, UX31A-XB52, UX31A-DB71 and UX31A-X72.

    Okay, no useful information so far.

    Does anyone know the difference between the UX31A-R5102F and the UX31A-R5102H and the UX31A-DB51?

    So just received this model from Microsoft Store. Let it be known that I didn't even know a 1600x900 Zenbook Prime existed. I knew they had the budget 1366x768 displays and the 1080 IPS displays, which I thought this was (same list price as ux31a-db51 and all other specs the same). Low and behold it finally gets in my hand today and it's 1600x900. But I also got the xbox and 10% cash back from discover card. Tough decision to keep or send back. Leaning toward sending back. Best of luck. It's still a beautiful machine.

    which model number was yours?

    it seems they have three models at bestbuy!

    - UX31A-R5102H
    - UX31A-R5102F
    - UX31A-DB51

    very confusing :confused:
