it says 1366x768 on both adorama and amazon!!...aren't all zenbook's with a prime suffix supposed to be with IPS panels...

i was so excited about this deal until i read this..wat a bummer

doucettea 10-03-2012 06:56 PM

might jump on this if it wasn't for the small display resolution

jinxeddeep 10-03-2012 07:00 PM

if it wasnt 1080p IPS why the hell is it's MRP 1019 in the first place, which is just 70 less than the UX31A-DB51 model that has both Full HD IPS and a 128 SSD...would have jumped on this if it was 1080p...thanks anyway

max1001 10-03-2012 07:22 PM

no 1080p and no real ssd. The two selling point of the Zenbook Prime.

cnet review: http://www.cnet.com/laptops/vizio...31603.html
issues are basically bad trackpad, really bad battery life, and so-so keyboard

which sums up to = A HORRIBLE POC
I was considering it until I saw that thread and did some more research, the form and resolution make me want it to succeed unfortunately it doesn't :(

battery life - 6.5hrs for i3, 5.5hrs for i5, 4.5hrs for i7. Not sure if that's enough for you. But fine with me.

trackpad - get a mouse & people got it fixed.

keyboard issue - no backlit...really? that count as Enron problem?

Now, you get
Larger IPS monitor & true SSD performance probably faster and cheaper depends on the tasks.
While the only problem is trackpad which is being fixed with driver. Or basically just use a mouse. It's better anyway.
Love the Enron & your own Cnet: which sums up to be horrible PC exaggeration though.

Oh, it seems like you don't even care about the trackpad...I didn't know battery life count as "have more problem than Enron."
Could have just said have short battery life and save us both the trouble.

Battery life is a lot worse, read the countless reviews.

lol seriously? Why should I forced to use a mouse if I want to use the trackpad. Ppl didn't get it fixed, some found a temp fix but still buggy as hell.

The backlighting isn't the problem, its the quality of the keyboard itself.. it has a lot of flex and will be problematic down the road

Yes it does have a few nice features but the cons outweigh the pros ainec.

<br />This stubborn defense of an utterly botched product launch is just bizarre. We should accommodate a bad trackpad by using a mouse? NO.

Wait, am I suppose to think you know how to use computer with all these broken coding?

btw are you dyslexic? I said mouse is better anyway and apparently people are able to use the touchpad read the reviews.

Once again I have to come in and wonder what kind of crack people are smoking. 1080p is excessive on a 13" laptop. I own the UX31A-DB71 Zenbook prime with the screen and I think people are on crack. The resolution on this model is just fine. What's more important is how good the screen contrast and viewing angles are. If it's similar to the UX31A's matte screen, people have nothing to worry about.

The other points are more valid against this notebook. No full SSD and personally for me, the lack of unibody construction makes it less rigid than my UX31A. On a budget though, this laptop is a great price, but it's not really a Zenbook prime.

Just read someone complain about keyboard flex. Pretty much a non issue unless you like to slam your fists into the keyboard. And the trackpad is fine.

Is this a joke. Not a deal at all.
