Asus UX31E
The screen The UX31E has a 13.3-inch TN panel. In contrast to most laptops this size, the resolution isn’t 1366 x 768 pixels but rather rather 1600 x 900.

Looks good, frustrating to use.
I got the version with all the "good" hardware, which is silly there are multiple hardware revisions handed out seemingly at random. This includes the Elantech touchpad hardware. I can't stress enough that the touchpad really ruins this machine. Read more ...
