Then again, back in ASUS bundled the leather-clad U2E with a Bluetooth mouse and carrying case, so we can't say we're too surprised the company gave us a generous helping of extras. But -- and there is a but -- we wish ASUS didn't slap branding on it and in a script font, no less!
Okay, so "UX31 Series Ultra Slim" isn't branding so much as the product name, but why does it have to be so prominent? And in such a frou-frou font? It's true, we're generally against gratuitous logos, but that font makes for an oddly frilly touch on what's otherwise a clean design. Secondly -- and this is a more serious gripe -- this is the only Windows-based Ultrabook we know of that doesn't have an HDMI port.
Completing our tour around the edges, you'll find a USB 2. The thing about the UX31's metal keys is that they ultimately look better than they feel. Now it's true, this keyboard is as sturdy as it seems, and the keys have a not-too-slippery finish that feels just right beneath the fingers.
They even make a quiet, low-pitched sound -- always a marker of sound build quality. And yet, we didn't do our best typing here. Like the S3's keys, these just don't have enough travel. As we typed, the keys often failed to register our presses if we moved too fast or dug our fingers in too lightly. We made fewer errors when we made a concerted effort to press keys firmly before moving on, but what experienced touch typist wants to do that?
We slugged through, ultimately typing the bulk of this review on it, but man, did we make a lot of spelling errors -- ironic, in a way, given that the Enter, Backspace and Right Shift keys are all amply sized. Tab, Caps Lock, left Shift and arrow keys are tiny, but for whatever reason we found this layout less cramped than the S3's. The UX31's keyboard also isn't backlit, which should be a strike against it when people are deciding between this and the MacBook Air.
Before we even started playing with the UX31, we received a note from an ASUS rep, asking us to update the touchpad's driver. We can see why. At that time, the trackpad was so jumpy, so imprecise that it had the potential to hamstring the entire laptop.
Fortunately, after we removed the driver and installed version 9. Still, it could use more fine-tuning. Even now, we don't always feel like we have complete control over the cursor, and the touchpad sometimes registers left clicks as right ones.
Thankfully, you can sidestep this by double tapping to right click. Throughout our testing, highlighting text felt like a chore, and we sometimes selected text by accident when we only meant to drop the cursor somewhere.
If you tend to rest both your thumb and index finger on the trackpad, you'll feel these bugs keenly, though we had less of a problem when we rested just our index finger on the pad. Not that any of you should have to change the way you use a touchpad. The good news is that ASUS is well aware of the trackpad's lingering kinks, and is working toward a fix.
In fact, a rep told us we could expect a driver update next week. So sit tight, early adopters. Display and sound Just when we had resigned ourselves to x resolution on That boost gave us plenty of space to scroll through web pages and documents, but it also made for some crisp movie playback.
At one point during our testing, we played the p trailer for the new Sherlock Holmes movie and were able to catch all sorts of detail -- puffs of smoke, the stubble on Robert Downey Jr. Much to our surprise, the viewing angles are also impressive.
Sure, if you watch from the sides you'll see the contrast ratio become slightly more exaggerated, but you can at least follow along with ease. Even with the lid dipped forward slightly we could make out the action on-screen -- something we can't say about every laptop we review. Though the speaker chambers are hidden in the chassis , believe us when we say they push out some surprisingly loud sound.
Even at the median setting yours truly was good to go for a one-woman dance party, but we're sure that if we invited a few friends to join in, the max setting would have helped O.
