Asus ZenBook UX303UB Review - Skylake and NVIDIA 940M

Lisa Gade reviews the latest generation (as of Feb. 2016) high end Asus ZenBook 13.3” Ultrabook with a metal chassis and Asus’ signature swirled aluminum lid. The 3.2 lb. ZenBook UX303UB is a generational update to the UX303 line and it packs a lot of premium features into the $1,299 price tag. Specifically we look at model UX303UB-UH47T with a QHD+ 3200 x 1800 glossy touch screen, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7-6500U dual core CPU, 12 gigs of RAM, a 512 gig SSD, dual band Intel WiFi 802.11ac and NVIDIA 940M 2GB DDR3 dedicated graphics. This is a traditional laptop that competes with the Dell XPS 13, it’s not a convertible with a 360 degree hinge and there’s no active digitizer for a digital pen.
