Awesome ultrabook with low price.
If you search a modern lightweight and silent 13,3'' notebook with good performance - it's a really best choice!
Pro:
1. Weight - 1,2 kg is very good for this price and performance.
2. Good and energy effective processor CoreM (only 4,5 Watt!) with performance of mobile Core i3/i5.
3. RAM 8 Gb - enough for all and Micron M600 256 Gb SSD (AS SSD Benchmark sequential read/write speed - 480/443 Mb/sec). ASUS's politic in Russia - to sell only basic models with reduced RAM and SSD - 4/128 Gb :(((. Ebay - rulezzz. ))
4. Absolutely silent (sic!) and a little warm notebook (on office work, browsing and watching video).
5. Good keyboard and big useful touchpad (two-finger gestures are supported and customable with preinstalled Asus utility)
6. Good matt(!) HD-display (color coverage about 100% sRGB) useful for video and photos. Display LED backlight enables 200 Hz PWM only on low brightness (about 0-27%) but stay still at 100-28% of brightness, I suggest to disable auto-brightness feature and do not use brightness levels below 28%.
7. Power adapter 100-240V allows to use it in other countries, you need cheap passive AC-adapter for your country standard only.
8. Long battery usage time (about 8 hours of office work and browsing).
9. 3x 3.0 USB and Wifi 802.11ac Standard.
10. Charged with Windows 10 Home (not 8/8.1)
Contra:
1. Keyboard without backlight. And Power Button upon Backspace (in other notebooks there is Insert or Delete button) - yes, it has led indicator, but you may accidentally turn off your notebook.
2. No Ethernet RJ-45 socket. And no USB-RJ45 adapter in this package.
3. Mini HDMI connector instead standard HDMI.
