Reviewing the super-capable, compact and ultra-slim laptop ASUS ZenBook UX305

Many of you probably know I am much into laptops and more specifically Dell laptops. Among the other computer brands that I prefer I would probably put ASUS in my top 5 list. Their ultrabook have always been a role-model when we speak for looks, design, innovation and performance. That is the case with the laptop I will review today - the 13 inch ultra-thin ASUS ZenBook UX305.

This laptop has the rugged solid feel that I like so much in compact laptops, just like the MacBook Air. But the ASUS ZenBook UX305 is not all about the looks, it also delivers pretty good performance for a compact mobile machine.
In the very beginning lets start with the probably one of the most popular configurations of the ZenBook UX305 laptop:

Asus X55V laptop review

The KEYBOARD
ASUS ZenBook UX305 keyboard test

ASUS ZenBook UX305 is very comfortable to type on. Keys have a nice travel and click and also look durable. One thing I didn't like is the fact that keys are completely flat, something I hate in computer keyboards, makes me feel them like touchscreen or something similar. I like the keyboard in my Dell Latitude E7240  much better.

Now lets continue with full video review of the ASUS ZenBook UX305 laptop, just to get better impressions how it looks and feels in the hand:

As I mentioned earlier the ASUS ZenBook UX305 ultrabook reminds me very much of the popular MacBook laptops. So, I think it is a nice idea to present you both these computers against each other in a short video comparison review:

So, at the end of this review, a very important question came in my mind - would I change my long-time work companion in the face of my Dell Latitude E7240 for the sleeker ASUS ZenBook UX305? The answer here would be no, and not because the ZenBook UX305 is a bad computer, not by any means. It just that I don't really think it would be a more reliable machine compared to the E7240.

Also in regards to performance, with Intel Core i5 and 8GB of RAM I think my Dell still holds up to the game pretty well.

What makes the Dell Latitude E7240 the ultimate ultrabook?

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV price, specs and review Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A  Full HD LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A review - today at our consumer blog we are going to take a look at one of the latest 42-inch Sony Full HD TVs which offers great picture quality and will suit best everyone who needs an excellent home cinema experience without 3D effects. Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the  KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.
