Overall Zenbook UX21 does offer a portable computer with high mobility, an interesting view, and enough performance to run applications daily. Unfortunately all of that must be redeemed at a price that is draining the sac, which is about USD 1.099.
Actually there are several series offered Zenbook Asus, start from the lowest to ultrabook premium. This time, Asus offers 2 types, Zenbook UX31 and UX21.
Shortly after the introduction of Intel, a number of vendors were competing to make ultrabook with style and features peculiar to them respectively. Asus is no exception, which look stunning with a row of Zenbook series.
Both are almost similar in design, just different screen sizes only, 13.3-inch UX31 and 11.6-inch UX21. In terms of kitchen runway and price are both not far adrift.
Beautiful, and Comfortable to be Used
Zenbook UX21 has a design fee that is beautiful and is able to lure anyone for the first time I saw it. Most of these products wrapped body of a silver-colored aluminum material that increasingly portray the impression of exclusivity. At first glance similar to Apple's MacBook Air.
Although put forward about the design but this product was also not forget about the convenience of usage. One is the placement of the hot air exhaust holes that exist between the hinge and keyboard. Almost no heat encountered while Zenbook UX21 using aluminum materials.
Another convenience is also located on the side of the keyboard. The size is large and each feels soft keys, and not noisy when the radius penguna 'run' on it.
Other benefits when using these products obtained from the display screen. Although measuring only 11.6 inches but Zenbook UX21 has a resolution of 1366 x 768 with brightness level that is claimed to achieve 450 cd/m2. As a result, although used in a room full of light users can still read well. But 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.
High Mobility stretcher
The initial purpose of this product is made is so that users can use a portable computer with the power of high mobility. Yes, detikINET who use these products for some time to feel it.
Weighing about 1.1 kg of this product can be taken anywhere without the hassle, plus a small-sized congenital adapters. The sales package also has a brown cover laptops that seemed to confirm that Zenbook UX21 ready taken anywhere.
Zenbook UX21 Asus claims have high battery life, making it suitable for users who often are out of the room. However when tested these products are only able to last about four hours-an with the conditions, the maximum pecahayaan, internet connection via wifi, and open the application browser, music and Microsoft Word.
Performance
If you only use the notebook as a tool for document processing, Internet surfing, or play HD movies may Zenbook UX21 performance may be sufficient. Moreover, these products included frill Bang & Olufsen ICEpower, which indeed masters of acoustic type of music processing.
Another added value is the use of USB 3.0 on this product, and probably not much range Ultrabook that use this port. In theory the amount of data that can be streamed mencapa 149MB/detik. Unfortunately, only one USB 3.0 slot is provided, from 3 ports available.
Zenbook Asus UX21 also born with the type of storage media Solid State Drive (SSD) 128GB SATA III. So certainly, the speed of data transfer is very large compared to other brands that still use the hard drive.
In terms of product features is not much different from other ultrabook. There is instant on mode that can make the computer wake up quickly, then the smart connect that allows this product to connect to the network quickly.
In addition to the features 'innate' there's also the Asus-made application called Power Wizard Gadget. Befungsi application to monitor the battery life when used in a variety of conditions, and deserve to be fairly accurate guide users to save battery life.
