The look and feel of this product is definitely my favourite. I consider myself an Asus loyalist, in saying that I’ve noticed the Zenbook Prime Ux31A was built with quality and design as a focus. Not only do I appreciate how thin and light it is, but it seems as though all the small things have been considered. For example, the lip to enable seamless single handed open, is nothing short of wonderful. To tie together this elegant design is the tapered edges and beautiful brushed metal finish. Lastly in this category, the Bang&Olufsen audio speakers provide great sound quality and pack quite a punch for their size. On the other end of order diflucan the coin is the quiet fan, that may turn on due to frequent or prolonged use.

A few other things are worth a mention. Although this review is of the Asus Zenbook, it is certainly worth a brief note on Windows 8. The first impressions of the new operating system were not very good. A few things were moved and I found the layout of information not as intuitive as I’ve come to expect. With a bit of research things began to make more sense as it seems this new development is trying to take the user experience to the next level with touch screens. The one final perk worth pointing out is the HDMI capability of the unit. A long side of the laptop, is a min-HDMI port; which will allow people to connect their TVs to the computer. The major benefit here is the misoprostol buy online music and entertainment frequently consumed on PCs can be transferred onto the TV with an after-market cable.
