Asus UX31 Ultrabook

[Deltido]

I'll throw my money at a Zenbook Prime... just for the 1080p.

Not sure if I can squint that hard at an 11.6" though.

Kinda funny seeing you here and on engadget, WITH the same avatar

Are you stalking me?

Just kidding... but yeah... I think that was one of the first avatars I used when I joined a cell phone forum so I wax nostalgic.

The backlit keyboard is also another plus for the ZenBook "Prime". I guess 1080p won't be too bad for the 11.6"... but I'll have to see it first... I like pixel density and all... but I'm not as young as I used to be.

Why would the budget version (UX32vd) have a discrete graphics card, while the supposed higher end UX31A stay with the intel HD? I know the UX32vd has a hybrid SSD versus the full SSD, but couldn't they add the discrete graphics on the 31A?

large SSD costs more $. Extra thin also costs more $. Its likely the bottom piece on the budget version may have cheaper materials.

Have you tried reading on a Sony Vaio P 8" 1600px res?

For me it was like trying to look at a computer for ants. The screen was sharp but everything was tiny. I'm sure 1080p on 11.6" would be ok.

I'm kind of interested in a thinner bezel on the Asus but 1080p 13.3" IPS trumps the samsung 1600x900.

I purchased the U31SD-AH51 from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o02_s00_i00

So far i love it, when doing normal tasks and with power 4 gear set to battery mode i get about 8 hours of battery life. It plays CS:Source, Starcraft 2 and BF3 keep in mind i am running them all at lowest settings but whatever it plays them.

and why are you posting this in the UX31 Thread

So I am looking to replace my computer in my signature. I was looking for something even lighter and a MUCH better screen while also still having gaming capabilities. Does the UX32vd look good with the 1920x1080 IPS panel and GT620M for games such as LoL, Dota 2, and Diablo 3?

does anyone get Usb problems after the latest update? now my usb 2.0 and 3.0 get

"A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)"

tried uninstall every usb device including hidden usb devices. still same problem.

f9 -doesnt work, I did not format whole drive, just the OS partition, so recovery partition is all right but as I mention previously I can't find a way to get boot from it.

If its going about getting the original software from microsft - Actually that was exactly what I did - but I wold like to restore my UX to box state in case I want to sell it. I even was willing to spend another 50 bucks for recovery dvd which you can purchase in Asus store but the problem is, that they do not sent it abroad :/

What is even more incomprehensible to me is the fact that you can not buy it in Europe -sick!

So I was thinking thats the only way to get a recovery dvd is to create a one on different UX and put it on mine.

You can purchase a recovery disk set from ASUS for $50 from ASUS eStore

Hi, I've the exact same problem. After latest update neither USB port works. Did you find a fix?
