Here is the engadget review. It has comparisions to many more ultrabook models than the Ars Technica review does.

There are definitely some compelling Ultrabooks besides this Lenovo. What about the similarly priced Samsung Series 9, or if you have a tighter budger and can accept lower specs, the Toshiba Portege Z935?

Don't overlook the 2nd gen Zenbook Primes from ASUS, 1920x1080 IPS screens on both 11.6" and 13" models.

do you know of any issues with backlight bleeding? The Amazon reviews got me worried


Im using the UX31A daily since ca. 1 month... ive red the complaints about backlight bleeding and the 1mm higher cassis on the left while opened - laughable in my view. I am absolutely satisfied so far, great Performance, great Keyboard and an amazing high resolution ips screen which is also great for working outside...

Definately prefer it to any current MBA.


UX31A here. I have no qualms in recommending this as the best 13" ultrabook.


just got the UX32-DB71. Took out the HD, put in a 256GB SSD, and 10 GB RAM (CL-11).

Discrete graphics. 1080p screen.

In my opinion, this is the best ultrabook on the market right now.
