I'd rather get a MacBook than an imitation of one.

And pay extra money for the same under-clocked specs with an apple logo, poorer cooling and an idiot-proof OS? Thanks for directing the apple fanboys away from this good piece of tech.

I have the UX305 and it's a great bit of kit, i love it. Half the price of a mac book air and reviews exist with it being rated higher than a mac book air..... if you want windows buy this and if you want Apples OS buy the Mac.

Yeah but a Macbook at this spec would cost £5000 ;-)
Actually typing from my Asus Zenbook that I have had for 3 years and has been great - would like an upgrade but cant justify that...and also recently bought a Macbook pro - both fantastic devices

The Asus will be better build quality, plus it will not look like it came from Toys R Us.

Looks nice in the pic but the gold is more grey on Asus laptops I have one that was meant to be gold and looks nothing like it does in the pick
