ZENBOOK
Ok guys been eyeing on an zenbook for few years now, right now I am waiting for the Skylake release of the zenbook series.
I am here to share my thoughts,
Initially I was going to get this
UX305FA
M-5Y10
8GB
256SSD
13.3 FHD
Silent – no fan
1.27kg
was RM2600 its now around on lelong RM2850 due to our currency.

My friends has got this and to my surprise I was able to play LOL League of Legends on fhd on low settings. Was quite happy with the CPU performance it does all the things I need to do. Speed between an i3 and i5
Comes in gold colour and dark purple/gray
Then I came across this article
http://www.ultrabookreview.com/8187-asus-zenbooks-skylake/UX305CA is the updated version UX305FA but with skylake Core M 6Y30 instead
=========================================
This seems to be a better deal
UX305LA which is like the UX305FA but has better processor
i5-5200U
1.3kg slightly heavier and larger
Fan (usually silent when idle or doing light work)
larger and longer batter life
http://www.ultrabookreview.com/7395-asus-zenbook-ux305la/US is selling for US750 on amazon (soo cheap)
Not sure if they going to bring this to Malaysia anytime soon.
UX305UA is the same as UX305LA but with skylake instead.
=========================================
UX303UB has a dedicated graphics card 940M but very expensive
I am keepying my eye for the i5 version
All the skylake zenbook has not launch yet, but plan to launch in USA end of the year.
Still find the Zenbook OP in terms of value = performance.
Skylake are coming real soon to laptop. Maybe around January you can have most of the new models already.
