yeah i cant think of a single reason that they dont make every 13 inch ultrabook have full quadcore cpus and at least gtx180 in sli with 32gb ram etc etc

keep up kid

OMG. You are definitely on the 'spectrum'.....

so? he should get one anyway

"....why people pay the same price for substantially less performance. You wouldn't pay premium Audi prices for a Nissan Micra because you want something small and nifty - you pay based on performance and reliability. Paying premium prices for a small screened inflexible system is ridiculous and for mugs"

get the point or make a valid point for once!

He's already said that he's got a desktop. Keep up!

no, you should get a desktop

I already have a high-end desktop, I'm looking for a laptop in order to travel while working since I can't always be at the office. Laptops seem to be quite dire at the moment from last few years offerings.

​But that doesn't explain why people pay the same price for substantially less performance. You wouldn't pay premium Audi prices for a Nissan Micra because you want something small and nifty - you pay based on performance and reliability. Paying premium prices for a dual core is ridiculous and for mugs

You must get super high frame rates on that 13" when you play Angry Birds with that 1080 SLI!! :laughing:

oh... you are inching closer to enlightenment!!!11 :man:

ROTFL. 1080 SLI in a 13" laptop! :laughing:

geez you must be some kind of masochist i think
why else would you post specifically to embarrass yourself every single time :confused:

perhaps read the first comment you replied to to see why EVERY reply you have made is irrelevant nonsense

If you want an ultraportable, you wouldn't be buying one that weighs 1.45kg + PSU.

And what game are you planning to play on a 13" 'ultraportable' that you think needs SLI whilst travel around the place? A bit of gaming whilst stopped off at the service station of the M1? :laughing:

vs your 2.5kg alienware ... yeah it is
no point telling you to keep up :confused:

1.45kg isn't light for a 13". Keep up! :laughing:

Jean Luc: You're having a bit of a comprehension fail there LOL

Just re-read what Brilly typed more carefully... :smile:

apart from... not:
1080 sli
32gb ram
light
relevant at 2-3 times the price

Alienware 13. Keep up.

i didn't say they didn't make any high spec machines in small form factors
but then neither are they 13.3 inch
1080 sli
32gb ram
relevant at generally 3+ times the price

They do. It's called a Razor Blade.

return it why?

I wanted a zenbook but i ended buying a lenovo 710s with an i7 a few weeks ago.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Computers-Accessories/Lenovo-ideapad-Notebook-Silver-Intel-6260U-Windows/B01HU6EICC?th=1&psc=1

Should I return the lenovo 710s and buy the zenbook instead?

I managed to get a refurb'd i3 UX310 of ebay for £200 a few months back and I really am impressed with the quality and would recommend them. I was after a portable laptop over highend performance. Best laptop I've owned and I've had lots!

Plus points: Screen, no power brick, outer casing looks high-end, responsive keyboard, weight & portability and good battery life.
Negatives: Speakers a bit weak, touchpad buttons a bit vague, black bezel looks a bit cheap on mine but I see this one is silver which is much better!

Some of us just want thin and light with good battery life and good enough performance not a quad core with a gaming GPU.
It's the same with cars, different strokes for different folks or do you troll every deal for a town car because it's not a sports car?

No, it's got speakers. :stuck_out_tongue:

.... :confused:

​HP Omen can be had a hundred quid more which comes with 7300HQ and 1050, 8gb ram... Trade in the Xbox Elite controller and it goes down to £670/680

Thanks for that, currently using a UX305CA which has zero noise so will keep it for now. Cheers

yeah i cant think of a single reason that they dont make every 13 inch ultrabook have full quadcore cpus and at least gtx180 in sli with 32gb ram etc etc

Nerfed i5 :disappointed: 7300HQ are actual quad cores, these 7200U i5's are meh

Cold..

4713 CPU Benchmark for £650 smackeroonies is way expensive.

heat got really good reviews.

Yeah the fan issue seems to be very popular with zenbooks, plenty of people returning them solely for that reason.

don't think this has a backlit keyboard

Good price for a Zenbook with these specs, anyone know if the fan is noisy on this one?

I have the UX305 which is superb, and I think is a previous model. I paid £499. Not sure that a QHD screen has any particular value to a 13" laptop, personally think FHD is sufficient. Its probably a good price, but the i3 in the UX305 is good enough, 16G ram would of been a better upgrade.

It is approx £400 more so is still harsh to compare but that's the closest macbook pro I could think of that comes closest out of the current models to buy new. I don't own either so I can't compare. However I'm stubborn so I won't buy a macbook now as I wouldn't pay more for something that is even more outdated than before. I am currently keeping a eye out for something with similar spec. However I'm not sure how well everything scales at this resolution on windows. However I would hope you could set it to 1080p.... :man:
I just wish it was from JL with a 2/3 year warranty. Amazon are great still for returns within 30 days.

Yeah we have just that model in our house, but was wondering whether this would come close.

Macbook Pro equivalent?

768 res,

Nice but worth holding out for the zenbook 3...Last i saw they were very expensive

Very expensive

Very good deal for a zenbook considering the specs, HEAT :wink:
