Opening the Zenbook up to reveal its brushed-metal keyboard surround, it still lacks the ultra-stylish minimalism that makes Apple’s machines such design statements. Still, the included carrying case and cleaning cloth go some way towards addressing this. Unfortunately the lid is still fingerprint prone, more so than the Aspire S3 and certainly more than the MacBook Air 13in. The ‘Zen-inspired’ concentric ring pattern across the lid, which lends this Ultrabook range its name, looks very stylish and helps the UX31 to stand out from the crowd. Overall then, its sub-£1,000 MSRP (currently UK availability is limited, though the 11in UX21 can easily be found for £840) seems like pretty decent value. It beats most rivals on connectivity by offering not only USB 3 and a bundled USB-Ethernet adapter but also twin digital video outputs, has a class-leading screen resolution of 1,600 x 900, comes with an SSD as standard, and includes a carrying case. So what does the Zenbook bring to this category? Like its competitors it’s metal-clad, with a concentric ring pattern on its lid.

To qualify, entrants need to be stylish and quick-booting, under 22mm thick, weigh 1.4kg or less, last a minimum of five hours away from a socket, use some form of flash-based storage (though this can be hybrid, combining an SSD cache with a HDD) and of course sport an Intel ‘Sandy Bridge’ processor. Ultrabooks are Intel’s new ultraportable laptop standard that’s making serious headway in the premium laptop sector. Like the Acer Aspire S3, the UX31 is an Ultrabook.
