bigphillip25 You're correct. Marketers will use this technique to make people "think" that the warranty lasts for a decent amount of time, and yes, it works. That's why you see prices at like $4.99 or $9.99 instead of $5 and $10. People will look at it and go oh look, $4.99, taking more notice of the FOUR instead of the ".99". Also, it's a mental thing that if you price something at like $4.99, it appears that the seller has put more effort into thinking of a great price rather than just slapping a $5 price tag on it. Of course there are people smarter than that, but you'd be surprised how much even those people fall for it.
I bought the i7-4558U version with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD in December 2013, and since then it has performed very well. The screen is sharp and bright, although it is poorly calibrated out of the box, and the viewing angles aren't as good as some other screens, and the reflective coating makes it difficult to use outdoors. Multitasking, even with resource intensive programs, is a breeze, and in most usage scenarios it is essentially silent. I was initially sceptical about the touch screen and windows 8, but the combination of mouse and touch has become second nature, to the extent that I now struggle when using non-touch screen computers! The included USB>ethernet dongle is very useful, as is the DP>VGA. I take it to and from work daily, and barely notice the weight in my bag, and it has even replaced my desktop as my daily driver at home. It's not great for playing newer games natively, but older titles (such as serious sam HD, counterstike source, vampire the masquerade bloodlines, deus ex and half life) work great, but the fans do become audible under load. I have recently started using the streaming facility in STEAM, which works quite well over gigabit ethernet. It does look beatiful, especially the radial effect under the gorilla glass on the lid, which under spot-lights gives the impression of curved arcs of light emanating up and out from the lid. Everyone who sees it asks me what it is and where I got it. It is very expensive, even now, but there are few laptops that are this slim and light with such a high resolution touch screen and such abundance of CPU power.
I think tek syndicate is awesome, but i really like when this guy (i think his name is wendell) does his reviews. He is very thorough with what he is reviewing and includes every detail
Excellent review! I'm currently searching for an ultrabook that will run mulitple monitors (currently running an aging Dell D430 laptop with docking station) -- there really isn't enough info out there on setting up multiple monitors, and of course once you've gone multi, you can't go back! This review really helped me! - thank you
I have an UX31A (UX31A-C4046P to be exact). I'm not a huge fan of laptops but it's probably the best I've ever used. Lightweight, freakishly fast and the battery lasts forever in standby. It also looks great and feels sturdy. This seems like a step up from mine and if I didn't buy mine a year ago I'd consider one of these. Only problem I'd have is I use Linux and scaling isn't quite these for any DE.
I'm getting so excited when I see notebooks like this. Because in 5 years, that'll be the standard for, like, 300$/€ price range or something like that. But I'm still amazed how solid the performance on my old Thinkpad T61 is. Wake up time from sleep: 3 seconds (SSD, Linux), and so on. The only things against it are it's 1280x800p resolution and it's weight. But hey, for less then 250 Euro with the 240 gb SSD, I got myself a nice Linux mobile working machine.
I have one of the older bargain Zenbook. UX32A-3007V, for under £500. Decent piece of kit. Screen view angles still sucks, touchpad is meh but usable, battery life is adequate but not awesome, does like to do some fan noise, and the shell isn't as sturdy as it looks. Otherwise, it does the job, I can work on it, and has a nice backlit keyboard, follows me everywhere. Fitted a Samsung 840 pro in it. Nice to see Asus is working on improving the weak points, although we're now talking premium range. Wondering what the bargain version of the new and improved Zenbook will look like. I have an old UL32A, still works, Don't know why they changed the keyboard layout, was much better on the UL32A. Watching with interest how these Asus product evolve through generations.
Odd question, any good ultrabooks that can be Hackintoshed relatively easily?

Very nice review! I just wanted to ask about the 4K monitor over DisplayPort, does it run at 60Hz? I'm looking to use the ASUS PQ321QE that supports 4K@60Hz using MST and I'm trying to find out if the UX301LA will do that.
Anyone can suggest a good laptop in the 700 - 900 dollar range? Battery life is important as well as the ability to run Microsoft Office Suite and a few other programs. Need one for school and battery life is the main concern.
I got my Sony Vaio Pro for around 5000 SEK ($740, or more realistically, $600) and it's awesome. Lightweight, slim, a fast SSD, touchscreen (on my model) a really good 1080p IPS-panel and great performance, even in light games. Love it for school but it's an outgoing model, so it might be difficult to get your hands on, especially for that price. Otherwise, it's a great bargain!
***** MacBook Air has good specs, but it is also kind of expensive and I really have no use for OSX. Not that I dislike OSX, but some of the programs I'll need to use in my program are Windows only.
A thinkpad would do. Gotta get one used though, and probably change the battery too. Thinkpads usually gets well above 10 hour batterylife. I think the X240 got 23 hours. Look after a T440 s/p. And when shopping, remember to ask if the BIOS has a password lock, they are really hard to get by.
Thanks been looking. I think my wife and I will be going with the MSI GS70 loaded up for our next notebooks. I know they are a little bigger and heavier but they have two display ports and I will be able to load them up with at least 3 1tb ssds.
Marcus Parviainen They don't have the proper hardware required to do display tests. I wish they did one for their Surface review as that was a much better review and was leauges ahead of many others. This one was meh.
I'm looking for a laptop for my sister that is going to be doing some virtual online school pretty soon once it starts. They say its going to be a 3D animated world so you need a decent PC to run it, but when you look at the "recommended" specs, a Galaxy Note 3 technically has enough horsepower to run it if it ran Windows. I'm not familiar AT ALL with integrated graphics and how they perform in games. How does this specific model do? What games can it play and on what settings? I can use that info as a way to tell if it can run the school program or not
a phone's ARM "quad core 2Ghz" is not even close to as fast as a modern haswell refreshed i5 running at 2Ghz. (none of them do, but if you'd down-clock them) integrated graphics like this usually run modern games (im taking bf3 as an example here) way below 30fps on 1080p low settings. the AMD APU's get a lot closer to playable framerates, but only on their higher-end desktop APU's. For example my laptop is a i7 2630qm, nvidea gt555m and 6gb of ram. it runs bf3 on low 1080p at just below 30fps ish. again, that's on the gt555m, not the CPU's iGPU.
Sir Delta No I mean a Note 3 could literally run it. It calls for a like a really old Pentium or something ridiculous. The Snapdragon 800 gets like double the benchmark scores of whatever it wanted. They are very confusing with what is needed. They say we need a gaming PC but I guess they mean a gaming PC from 10 years ago. So are you saying that I should really only go with a laptop with dedicated graphics? I think the only gaming my sister is going to be doing is Minecraft so no worries there, nothing modern or demanding. I just have no idea of what the school program looks like or how well its optimized
Da Bpark She doesn't care about that. I can hardly pull 60 fps with Sonic Ether's ultra shaders, a 512x texture, and 20 chunk render distance on my 4690k and GTX 770. Granted I still don't have my new RAM yet. But vanilla minecraft shouldn't have a problem
***** It did not break, but it does look kind of fragile so I am careful with it. I am actually disappointed to see that they still use it on this model, when they have moved to a magnetic port on a lot of their other transformer and viovobook laptops. I don't have any issues with the keyboard, but the touchpad does feel a little flimsy and the software is crap.
I'm pretty sure that because of the way Optimus works, even if you have a dedicated NVIDIA GPU on a notebook/ultrabook, the Intel graphics still has to be capable of driving the displays by itself.
Although you make no mention of it, the display is clearly a tn panel. You also don't cover real world battery life. It would be an impressive notebook otherwise.
i'm thinking of getting a tobshiba laptop here. i need something with a lot of ram and cpu power for adobe stuff and a little Low end gaming on the road. just like to avoid paying more than 1300 for it lol :)
I feel like the only reason I watch this channel most of the time is for entertainment. My gosh, I would never be able to actually afford most of the stuff covered on the channel.
Okay, the top is going to attract fingerprints from across the street. I prefer something that is "uglier" but at least stays relatively good-lloking after attracting fingerprints. The display is glossy, making it horrible, unless you can very finely control the lighting in the place you're working this thing. I don't need my screen to be made of glass, I'm noting poking it with a knife, so plastic (MATTE!) is abslutely fine. Lastly, no built-in ethernet port is just sad. Many hotels where I have my holidays do not have wi-fi. And even if they do, their lan networks usually are a million times better. Losing a USB-port to something as mundane as ethernet is a dealbreaker for me. The other two things too.
You're a fkn idiot. Any multi touch display running at 2560x1440 or more is going to be glossy. The glossy display is meant to help with the multi touch gestures of the display.
ByRTD yO There's no requirement for capacitive touch to be glass. It can be any non-conductive material. Besides, glass can be made matte as well, if need be.
Kingdom Of Mog Well yes, glass is great because it's so hard. It won't get scratched in most situations (except maybe when you get sand on it or something). But the fact of the matter for me is that glossy is horrible to look at, unless you have full control over your lighting and the position in which you look at the thing. I currently have a laptop with a glossy plastic screen, which is just about as glossy as a screen may get for me. It's the Sony Vaio Z 2012 model (the non-touch one).
thany3 your current is glossy plastic, those are terrible it has the bad part of both, personally id rather have a harder to scratch glass then a dull easy to scratch plastic
"That's insanely high resolution..." No, it's not, the Nexus 10 did it in 2012, with vertical pixels to spare, in 10.1". For a 13-incher in 2014, it really should have been 3200/1800 to be considered premium. (not to be overly pissy; decent review otherwise!)
Hibernation? Meh. Since I changed mechanical drive to ssd I stopped hibernating or turning off and I started sleeping ;) My netbook can be in sleeping mode for 12 hours and it will use like 5% battery and it's ready for me in an instant.
not sure how the reliability of the asus notebooks now. the zenbook last gen and before that were all very very unreliable. Not sure if it's region specific or not because in malaysia it was really really bad. they would crash for no reason and they crash a lot. the complain to praise ratio is like very very one sided. hopefully they do better now because they are sexy
A rare glimpse of Wendell's face at 7:19
Dunamis actually it's Sasquatch.
you can see him on teksynicate fully
He'll remove the entire video now, just to edit that bit out lol
***** no. just no
We Play Games! you can see wendell in full on one of the older Tek or Inbox shows. Think its inbox.exe 0002 or The Tek 0002
7:17 - His face revealed!
Thought I was the only one who saw that and kinda had to back up and pause.
Jurel Jones You can go watch the Tek about Hard drive partitions, he does the whole thing.
Lol the camera strapped to his head made me laugh
i can die in peace now
Yup, Inbox 0002: Harddrive Partitioning for Speed.
This guy needs his own channel. Love his reviews.
Thanks Wendell, I also really enjoyed your Surface Pro 3 review....
@7:19 hey wendell good to see you again
Intros and outros are the best on youtube in these vids, chiptune so awesome
Wendell's face at 7:18,gotcha !!!
1:22 THAT FINGERPRINT! ugh sorry. I can already tell what would drive me crazy with this laptop.
Looks great! Thanks for the review.
Great review Wendell.
This video makes me want that laptop so badly, great review
Isn't it 2x256GB in Raid 0? As opposed to 2x128GB SSDs?
7:18 You can see Wendell's face in the screen reflection
Why say 12 Month warranty? Why not say 1 Year warranty?
12 month sounds like there's more I guess. idk
bigphillip25 You're correct. Marketers will use this technique to make people "think" that the warranty lasts for a decent amount of time, and yes, it works.
That's why you see prices at like $4.99 or $9.99 instead of $5 and $10. People will look at it and go oh look, $4.99, taking more notice of the FOUR instead of the ".99".

Of course there are people smarter than that, but you'd be surprised how much even those people fall for it.
It has an 8760 hour warranty
james hobbs it has a 31536000 second warranty
JKVengeance
Yes, but they arnt here to sell it to us, they are here to review it and say if its good or not.

This review really helped me! - thank you
That's a solid ultrabook. Good drivespeeds, good connectivity.
I would have liked a dedicated LAN port, but that can be fixed with usb3 network cards.
great video, thank you
Wendell have you attached the camera on your head?
7:19 How many other people noticed it?
I have an UX31A (UX31A-C4046P to be exact). I'm not a huge fan of laptops but it's probably the best I've ever used. Lightweight, freakishly fast and the battery lasts forever in standby. It also looks great and feels sturdy. This seems like a step up from mine and if I didn't buy mine a year ago I'd consider one of these. Only problem I'd have is I use Linux and scaling isn't quite these for any DE.
@ 7.19, is that a go pro on your head?
Sweet ultrabook BTW, I have a Samsung series 9 13", definitely thinking Asus next time.
Where did u buy it?
How much did u pay?
Was it me or did Wendell sound a little sarcastic? Either way I like seeing him do theses sort of reviews, MORE PLS!
Can you take this notebook apart and explore the hardware?
Did he film the video with a gopro?
When was this laptop released?
How many monitors do you have and what is that thing holding them all up
I hate the idea of glass on the back of the screen and the track pad not aligned with the space key.
I'm getting so excited when I see notebooks like this.
Because in 5 years, that'll be the standard for, like, 300$/€ price range or something like that.
But I'm still amazed how solid the performance on my old Thinkpad T61 is. Wake up time from sleep: 3 seconds (SSD, Linux), and so on.
The only things against it are it's 1280x800p resolution and it's weight. But hey, for less then 250 Euro with the 240 gb SSD, I got myself a nice Linux mobile working machine.
Would have liked to see some comments on the B&O speakers,
I hear these things are great for gaming on ultra settings.....right?
Holy SHIT wendlee's face
7:18
NOOOO! MY INNOCENCE!
you know he showed his face in the tek 002
Adam Hasso
Yes but faces develop over time.
T.E.D. de Medici weirdest comment ever aha
Seriously 1440p was not needed on a 13 inch display
I have one of the older bargain Zenbook. UX32A-3007V, for under £500. Decent piece of kit.

14th of June? Why do you keep the videos so long O_o
Do a review of the Lenovo y50!! :)
my favourite!!! but what happened to the home/end keys??? I do use them!!!
Odd question, any good ultrabooks that can be Hackintoshed relatively easily?
Very nice review! I just wanted to ask about the 4K monitor over DisplayPort, does it run at 60Hz? I'm looking to use the ASUS PQ321QE that supports 4K@60Hz using MST and I'm trying to find out if the UX301LA will do that.
Love asus :D
7:18. Wendell's face
Anyone can suggest a good laptop in the 700 - 900 dollar range? Battery life is important as well as the ability to run Microsoft Office Suite and a few other programs. Need one for school and battery life is the main concern.
go on the Tek Syndicate website, i'm sure they will have a recommendation
Thanks, I'm checking these suggestions out now.
I got my Sony Vaio Pro for around 5000 SEK ($740, or more realistically, $600) and it's awesome. Lightweight, slim, a fast SSD, touchscreen (on my model) a really good 1080p IPS-panel and great performance, even in light games.

Nothing about the Display? Semms like a bad TN panel 3:22
It's a really good IPS actually. Display quality does not really transfer over youtube.
That's what I was thinking aswell, since all the previous good Zenbooks have been IPS. Still, A review should include the display in more detail, IMO
Marcus Parviainen There are reviews online that show this panel is excellent.
dylan522p I know. Just a suggestion for them.
Marcus Parviainen They don't have the proper hardware required to do display tests. I wish they did one for their Surface review as that was a much better review and was leauges ahead of many others. This one was meh.

Da Bpark She doesn't care about that. I can hardly pull 60 fps with Sonic Ether's ultra shaders, a 512x texture, and 20 chunk render distance on my 4690k and GTX 770. Granted I still don't have my new RAM yet. But vanilla minecraft shouldn't have a problem
yeah :/ but graphics ftw
7:18 lol you can see his face in the screen
Sweet, it's a Wendell review.
im just wondering why does he always hide his face behind a bunch of monitors ? just been wondering for a while
I own a UX31A, and I love it, but I am really interested in getting one of these as a replacement. They're a little expensive though.
***** It did not break, but it does look kind of fragile so I am careful with it. I am actually disappointed to see that they still use it on this model, when they have moved to a magnetic port on a lot of their other transformer and viovobook laptops.
I don't have any issues with the keyboard, but the touchpad does feel a little flimsy and the software is crap.
very nice looking look's future industrial
what's the difference between this and the ux301la or the ux301??? i can't figure it out
You should review the UX303LN, it's an ROG laptop that looks like an ultrabook.
I'm pretty sure that because of the way Optimus works, even if you have a dedicated NVIDIA GPU on a notebook/ultrabook, the Intel graphics still has to be capable of driving the displays by itself.
7:18 thank you
So why would I want to buy this over a similarly priced (or cheaper) retina MacBook Pro?
What the difference between this(ux301la) and the ux301l
Although you make no mention of it, the display is clearly a tn panel. You also don't cover real world battery life. It would be an impressive notebook otherwise.
I died a little after seeing the glass on the top.
Can you play games on this like Battlefield 4 at high settings?
Probably not but I believe it has dedicated graphics so medium-high isn't too far out of reach
i'm thinking of getting a tobshiba laptop here. i need something with a lot of ram and cpu power for adobe stuff and a little Low end gaming on the road. just like to avoid paying more than 1300 for it lol :)
OMG i Saw his face finally!
Can you compare its display to that of 2016/2017 macbook pro 13"? I'm torn. This is half the price now.
How many full charge and discharge battery cycles would I get with this zenbook before the battery capacity drops lower than 80℅?
I don't understand why people keep setting up SSDs in Raid 0.
Could use one for school
at 7:18 you can see his face in the reflection
Want to see half of Wendells face? Go to 7:19 and look at the Zenbook's screen.
7:20 we all know what you look like now Wendell!
7:17 - Whatup Wendell :-)
how much is this?
Expensive
docs.google.com/document/d/12wz_1Y0aK6FZJUBb24xqT-dgQrN-XydvouAxXXbA8PU/
New person here, why does this dude position his camrea behind his monitor?
Wendell
always did. There is one video him not hiding behind his monitor.
Medieval Blast Why?
If it only had 16:10 display.
I feel like the only reason I watch this channel most of the time is for entertainment. My gosh, I would never be able to actually afford most of the stuff covered on the channel.
I saw wendells face at 7:19. That´s a first.
You can see his face @ 7:19
😂😂😂
You forgot about the i7 model that has HD5100 which is much better than the 5000 in the i5 you had..
We can see his face @ 7:18
7:18 you can see his FACE OMG
7:17
the bezel is huge
Can anyone say aesthetics?
... yes.
its a sexy laptop isnt it
bradgonewild yea it is. Just got one.
Silly me, seeing all these nice things and thinking I should get this, then I saw that price....
I just bought the Asus ROG 750JS for about the same price. Size dosent matter for me !
Im replacing my SagerNP9262 that I paid 3200$ for in 2008
Okay, the top is going to attract fingerprints from across the street. I prefer something that is "uglier" but at least stays relatively good-lloking after attracting fingerprints.
The display is glossy, making it horrible, unless you can very finely control the lighting in the place you're working this thing. I don't need my screen to be made of glass, I'm noting poking it with a knife, so plastic (MATTE!) is abslutely fine.
Lastly, no built-in ethernet port is just sad. Many hotels where I have my holidays do not have wi-fi. And even if they do, their lan networks usually are a million times better. Losing a USB-port to something as mundane as ethernet is a dealbreaker for me. The other two things too.
interesting opinions, but i disagree its a touch screen notebook so i think the inclusive of glass over plastic is great
You're a fkn idiot. Any multi touch display running at 2560x1440 or more is going to be glossy. The glossy display is meant to help with the multi touch gestures of the display.
ByRTD yO There's no requirement for capacitive touch to be glass. It can be any non-conductive material. Besides, glass can be made matte as well, if need be.
Kingdom Of Mog Well yes, glass is great because it's so hard. It won't get scratched in most situations (except maybe when you get sand on it or something).
But the fact of the matter for me is that glossy is horrible to look at, unless you have full control over your lighting and the position in which you look at the thing. I currently have a laptop with a glossy plastic screen, which is just about as glossy as a screen may get for me. It's the Sony Vaio Z 2012 model (the non-touch one).
thany3
your current is glossy plastic, those are terrible it has the bad part of both, personally id rather have a harder to scratch glass then a dull easy to scratch plastic
so beautiful
Saw Wendell's face today, was expecting some chin and lip hair, sad to say there wasnt any.
7:17 OHHHH
The only problem with RAID 0 is, its not safe. Lol... Get an added HDD (hard drive) as well as the SSD... Or ( solid state drive)
HDD stands for hard disk drive and SSD stands for solid state drive.
Once you notice the accent, you can never go back...
Dude you forget to talk about the battery life...
check out 7:19 and look at the laptop screen u can see his face :p
"That's insanely high resolution..."
No, it's not, the Nexus 10 did it in 2012, with vertical pixels to spare, in 10.1". For a 13-incher in 2014, it really should have been 3200/1800 to be considered premium.
(not to be overly pissy; decent review otherwise!)
I like, I want... I want Broadwell-E system more... so I wait... Shame
