See All Reviews ASUS Zenbook UX21E-DH52 11.6-Inch Thin and Light Ultrabook
Overall:A good machine with some minor flaws and one major flaw. Looking forward to an improved second generation.Wifi:This latop almost deserves 3 stars for the wifi card alone--it's that bad. Nearly returned the zenbook because of the this, but found a micro-usb wlan device to offset that dealbreaker. If engineers at Asus read this, make sure the second generation does not include a wireless card that has a maximum dbM of 16.Speakers:The best that you can have on a laptop of this size, and the best I have heard on any laptop.Battery:Lasts for about 4 hours +- 30 minutes after having the screen on the lowest possible setting and wlan powered down.Screen:Solid, decent, nothing special (see the specs).Hard drive and Processor:Unbelievably fast. At the login screen at ~12 seconds, even when performing a hard drive test on Linux during the boot process. Programs launch instantaneously, and pdf's load very quickly.Keyboard:I enjoy chiclet keyboards, so I can't give an unbiased review here. That said, I think the keys are good and I don't have many problems with depth etc, but my thumbs usually brush against the trackpad and that causes some small problems with cursor relocation. An option of powering off the trackpad with a small button would have been beneficial.The power button is the same as any other F-key on the top row, and is in the upper-right corner. It is easier to use this power button than on previous laptops.Home, End, pgup, and pgdn are function keys attached to the arrow keys, and thus are not convenient.Trackpad:It works, but Asus should have used a better brand than Sentelic. A little disappointing.OS:Using Archbang Linux on this and boots much faster than Windows 7, which itself booted in about 15-20 seconds. Be warned that the power-saving feature doesn't seem to work with Linux though (at least according to my perfunctory searching for a solution on this issue). Recommend getting the Airlink wlan here: http://www.amazon.com/AirLink101-AWLL5088-Wireless-Ultra-Adapter/dp/B003X26PMO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325476957&sr=8-1then download the drivers from Realtek's website, then turn off the internal card with a startup script.Weight and general handling:Wonderful. Two and a half pounds is light in the hand and it is very thin when stowed in its canvas envelope. Positive emotions surge through me at various times, such as when I pick this up and feel it in my hand, open it up to use it, and feel the weight of my backpack on my shoulders.Aesthetics:Beautiful, well-crafted, overall solid look to it. The most appealing machine I have seen. Looks great in the brownish case that comes with it, which is like a soft canvas envelope for the zenbook.Thermal properties:Gets a little warm, but never hot except for when I leave it running and stow it in my backpack. Fan is very quiet.
