Review: ASUS ZenBook UX310

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

As far as Ultrabooks go, the ASUS ZenBook UX310 adheres to the traditional look and feel of a notebook. This means it does away with the flip-reversible-convertible functionality that many of its PC competitors are bringing but focuses on what an essential premium notebook experience should be.
