    I have the 305ua 6th gen. Battery is great, only thing I don't like is that neither video editing software nor Photoshop will work properly. When I open the applications, all the fonts are tiny. I tried to override the scaling but it won't do anything. HOW FRUSTRATING!!

    Please have a look at the Inspiron 15 (7579) from Dell, it has amazing specs for the $850 price and doesn't skimp out on features

    I've had the UX305CA version (almost identical to this review unit, but with an updated CPU and GPU) for over a year. I think it's still the best value ultrabook overall. You're not going to be playing any serious games on an ultrabook anyways, so I think the slightly throttled back performance is worth it for the fanless and ultra-thin design. The SSD makes this laptop feel really fast and I haven't noticed any performance issues. Battery life has dropped considerably though, from around 8 hours of general use to less than 5, still OK in my opinion. Of course I wouldn't mind a zenbook pro or dell xps 15 for that 4K screen and killer performance, but they cost 2-3 times as much, depending on the configuration and you're really giving up a lot on weight, portability and fan noise. I think for most people, this laptop, or the newer UX310 is still the best choice for the money.

    It's 2019. I was thinking about getting a Chromebook, but picked one of these up on eBay for $200. Fantastic, highly portable device for word processing and light internet use.

    45 Wh battery and just 6h of battery on what's that, a 7W chip?
    Damn the past was very inefficient for sure!
    I have a laptop with a 100W GPU, 45W CPU and a 55wh battery and I get a comfortable 6h of movies. If I just care for the power consumption, I guess I can break that mark too

    I have a question about the inside box of asus zenbook ux305 128 ssd and ram4 and middle east region
    Is there inside the box any HDMI and Ethernet port exist?

  15. Tengku Muliya

    I just need a device to type on. Using phone for doing assignments and online class is not a great experience.

  16. MAKE IT

    Where is screen sharing button on this laptop, and how does it works?
    Help me out

  17. Nikhil Paleti

    Who thought Apple's innovations would bring MHz processing back into the Market! That is basically slower than RAM damn!

    Just coming to this video to see your review on my laptop of ~5 years. It's interesting to see! My laptop doesn't have the double click on the right of the trackpad… But I do still hate the trackpad. Right clicking just doesn't register 70% of the time, so I use a mouse all the time now. You haven't aged a day also haha

    Edit: you like Muse also, that earned a like
