The ZenBook has proved an enduring ultraportable laptop from Asus, just like the MacBook Air from which it was copied wholesale. The last ZenBook we saw earlier this year, the UX305F, reviewed, was pared back in price and performance with the help of a low-power Core M processor; for the UX303UA, Asus has returned to a full-speed processor and is a great Windows alternative to the Apple 13-inch Air.

PRICE

You can buy the UX303U from Amazon for £899.99/$1,350, but we’ve seen it for up to £20/$30 cheaper if you hunt around.
