Hitting retail shelves this week, the Zenbook is the first of a new breed of laptops powered by Intel’s second generation Core processors, with an emphasis on speed, power and amazing design. Or in other words, a Windows competitor to the MacBook Air.
There are four models as part of the launch lineup, the 11.6-inch UX21 and the UX31 13.3-inch model, with both flavours featuring a standard Core i5 processor and a Core i7 option as well. All models come with Windows 7 Home Premium, 4GB RAM, 0.3MP webcam, Bang & Olufsen ICEPower audio technology plus a VGA adapter, a USB to LAN adapter, and a protective sleeve in the box.
With a boot up time of two seconds from standby – something Apple machines have long held an advantage over Windows PCs with – plus a stunning unibody design that seems to shine more than the MacBook Air, the Zenbook is a stunning laptop, perfect for stylish men or women everywhere.
Prices start at $1,399 for the i5 11.6-inch UX21, jumping up to $1,599 for the i7 model, while the 13.3-inch UX31 starts at $1,499 for the i5 and jumps to $1,999 for the Core i7.
Price: From $1,399
