The Asus Zenbook UX32VD 13.3" Ultrabook Computer takes portability to the next level. With a super slim profile of about two-thirds of an inch and a weight of just over 3 pounds, this Asus Zenbook was built for ultimate mobility. While thin and lightweight, this Asus Zenbook is far from fragile. It has a spun aluminum lid with precision-etched concentric circles to match its silver hairline chassis for a solid build and stylish design.
The system is powered by a dual-core Ivy Bridge 1.9GHz Intel Core i7-3517U processor. It also has 4GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM, dual 128GB solid state drives, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, an integrated webcam and microphone. This Asus Zenbook also has built-in stereo speakers powered by Bang and Olufsen ICEpower.
Windows 8 Home Premium is the installed operating system. It replaces the traditional Start menu with a redesigned Start screen. The Start screen features tiles, which provide notifications in real-time. Windows 8 Home Premium also focuses more on cloud storage as well as apps, which can be downloaded from the Windows Store. It provides a unique user experience that differs from previous versions of Windows.
