Asus Zenbook UX21 Review: Light Sexy Ultrabook

If you use a notebook as a tool for document processing, Internet surfing, or play HD movies, Asus UX21 Zenbook performance is sufficient. The Zenbook UX21 has a beautiful design and able to lure anyone for the first time saw it. Most of these products wrapped with silver-colored aluminum material which portray the impression of exclusivity. At first glance similar to Apple's MacBook Air.

Although measuring only 11.6 inches, the Zenbook UX21 has 1366 x 768 resolutions with brightness level that is claimed to achieve 450 cd/m2. As a result, although used in a full of light room, a user can still read well. Unfortunately still found a disturbing reflection of the image.

Another thing that is regrettable in this product is the lack of backlit keyboard, so it would be a bit inconvenient if you use this product in a low light room.

Weight approx 1.1 kg can be taken anywhere, plus a small-sized congenital adapter. Asus claims that Zenbook UX21 has high battery life, making it suitable for users who often out of the room or mobile.

Another added value is the uses of USB 3.0, in theory the amount of data that can be transferred achieve 149MB/second. Unfortunately, only one USB 3.0 slot is provided, from 3 ports available.

In addition to the default feature, there's also the Asus-made application called Power Wizard Gadget. This application serves to monitor the battery life when used in a variety of conditions; sufficiently accurate so fit for use as a user guide to save the battery.
