Maximum PC: The newly available Asus Zenbook UX305 might be the sexiest 13.3-inch Ultrabook you can buy for $699. According to Asus, it's certainly the slimmest -- measuring just 0.48 inches thin weighing a mere 2.6 pounds, we won't argue that claim. But getting back to the price tag, Asus manages to cram a surprising amount of amenities into this svelte laptop without breaking the bank, including an In-Plane Switching (IPS) Full HD 1080p display.
Maximum PC: Our normal reaction to anything that says "limited edition" is to roll our eyes, as if making tens or hundreds of thousands of something truly qualifies as limited. Yeah, right. And that would have been our reaction to the Asus Zenbook UX305 in "crystal white," except that only 200 of these slim and sexy devices are up for grabs.
Techprezz: Asus has upgraded its Zenbook UX series with a new addition to the lineup, dubbed Zenbook UX305. The new ultrabook was unveiled at IFA 2014 and is claimed to be thinner than Apple MacBook Air .
ASUS' Zenbook UX301 was already rather impressive with its glass-covered body and 2,560 x 1,440 touchscreen, but its record has just been broken by yet another ZenBook. Announced at IFA today, the new UX305 is a gorgeous all-aluminum Ultrabook that packs an insanely sharp 13.3-inch 3,200 x 1,800 (276 ppi) display (as used by the bulkier UX303LN), and at just 12.3mm thick, it's certainly the world's slimmest laptop to carry this class of screen resolution. The trade-off here is that this isn't a touchscreen, but the 1.2kg weight does beat the 1.35kg 13-inch MacBook Air. Much like the rest of the ZenBook series, the UX305 is also quite the looker with its diamond cut highlights plus signature spun-metal finish in either "Obsidian Stone" or "Ceramic Alloy" color option. Little else about this laptop has been mentioned so far: All we know is that it'll pack an Intel Core M processor, 10 hours of battery life and a choice of 128GB / 256GB SSDs.

If only the processor could be better
