Asus Zenbook UX303LA-DS51T 13.3" Ultrabook Intel Core i5 i5-5200U (2.20 GHz) 8GB DDR3L Memory 128GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 5500 Touchscreen Windows 8.1 64-Bit
  • Intel Core i5-5200U 2.2GHz (Turbo up to 2.7GHz)
  • 8GB DDR3L Memory 128GB SSD
  • Intel HD Graphics 5500
  • 13.3” IPS FHD touchscreen display (1920 x 1080)
  • Windows 8.1 64-Bit
  • 12.70"x8.80"x0.70" 3.2 lbs.

Pros:

Faster than I could have imagined. Ubuntu 14.04 is only slightly faster than Win 8.1 at boot and both are very, very fast (6 sec vs 8 sec). Ubuntu has not caught up to some of the new hardware (touch) but doing a good enough job to make me happy. UEFI is B.S. ,was a pain but finally got it. Important to install Ubuntu 14.04.2 ! Not 14.04.1
Turn off fast boot. Install beside Vista as it says in Ubuntu (not win 8) WTH

Cons:

128 SSD is too small, and Ubuntu resides on a 25 gig partition and working well.
Win 8 has way too many junk apps.

Overall Review:

Very happy camper. Thank you ASUS, Intel and Canonical.
