Question 1

I have heard that the screen on this Ultrabook is extremely reflective, what can you say about this? Is this claim true, or is it just as reflective as any other Ultrabook out there?

Accepted Answer

That's true.  The screen is very reflective, more so than any other laptop I've used.  I haven't used any other Ultrabook though, so I don't know how it stacks up.  I hope that helps.

Question 2

Would anyone recommend getting this laptop? The reviews on this site make it seem as if the Asus Zenbook ux501 is simply not worth it.

Accepted Answer

It depends what you need it for.  It is sleek and looks great but f weight is a big factor for you it may not be the one for you.  It is lighter that my old 17" laptop but when you put it, external cd, power plug, and mouse into a backpack it is still heavy.  The performance is very good but since it is a 4k monitor when you go on to the web some pages do act strangely.  I really hated windows 8 so moving to windows 10 was good but not as good as windows 7.  Also, some functionality like touch screen went away with the windows 10 move but all of the drivers were available through asus so expect to do that work if you migrate.  I have been told that video gaming on it should be awesome but I have not tried.  I have played movies on planes with it and it works well but even though it is a 15" laptop it seems to not fit too well in a coach seat...if you plan to use it on planes I would consider a 13" or 14" laptop.

Question 4

It must be top configuration of this laptop. But in specification there is GTX 960M with only 2GB VRAM (I guess it should be 4GB). Can you please check it?

Accepted Answer

confirmed. this is Nvidia GTX960M 2G GDDR5.   this spec is very similar with G501, but this one is touchscreen and silver color. G501 is 4GB GTX960M and none-touch.
