I have half a dozen computers, Mac OSX mini (dual boot), XP, Win 7, Nexus 7 Tablet (nice!), Droid phone, iPad2, etc. In IT for (too many) years. This Asus is a great machine, the screen is like watching a moving photograph. You'll see reviews that complain about "light bleed", it is apparent on boot, but in practical use, a non issue; I purchased from Adorama on 8/5 and must say that it was a pleasure to buy from them. Best price around, very pleasant to deal with, I schlepped in from Long Island and they had my unit ready to go. Thumbs up to Adorama and the UX31A

The Asus Zenbook Prime 13.3" IPS FHD Notebook measures just 3 mm front and 9 mm back. It uses precision-crafted aluminum throughout its monoshell build, ensuring light durability. The cover features finely etched concentric circles that embody the infinite nature of Zen thinking and the entire design has been optimized to offer a holistic approach towards combining beauty with speed and balancing work with play.
This Ultrabook has been able to accomplish the feat of bestowing Zenbook Prime with uncompromising technical excellence despite its ultra-suave and compact form. Up to 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processors (Ivy Bridge platform) are at the heart, while SATA 6 Gb/s SSD storage outpaces normal hard drives by up to four times. Similarly, USB 3.0 ensures data moves up to ten times faster than USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 4.0 offers the latest version of the wireless connectivity standard. Dual band 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Wi-Fi derived from top-end Asus router technology ensures the fastest networking and to keep all of this cool, a proprietary V-shaped air channel drives heat away before it can cause instability.
