Pros:

1.The most significant advantage of this laptop is that it doesn't make any Noise, No fan very silent! Imagine you are using a laptop to present in a quiet room you want it to be as quiet as possible, we all know that a loud fan could ruin your laptop experience.

2. SSD fasts startup time, like 5 second, CPU is Surprisingly powerful like an i7 !!!

3. World's Most slimmest Laptop, Beautiful screen 13.3 is the right size .Feels very robust and solid notebook, perfect for Travel.

The 5th Gen Core branding may be a bit misleading for some people considering that this one comes from the low TDP "Y" series lineage and isn't a successor to the regular "i" line-up. However, Core M isn't a slouch by any means, though definitely not a power house. It also isn't the top Core M variant but then there isn't too much of a performance difference between them. As a fanless processor, it is known to get really hot and hence not ideal for lap use. The flip side to this is the enhanc...

Bought it after reading many reviews on other website too.
Been using this laptop for about a week now and I am completely satisfied with my purchase.
1.Laptop has many pros. The most I liked is portability and ultra slim design also not flimsy at all.
2. In configuration you have everything you need 256gb ssd is rare in this price point.
Good Build n ultra fast.
3. The amazing battery life is worth it, the speakers are relatively good. Because of its slim size, SSD is spacious and quick,...

Firstly, to all the people who feel that you are being cheated by Asus because for the same amount of money (or little less), you get double the RAM; try buying it in the US and bringing it here. It is not easy for a laptop manufacturer to sell the same laptop across the world. Even Apple has variation (I have one and I know this for a fact). What exactly are you going to do with a 8GB RAM?? This is not a gaming laptop, it is an ULTRABOOK.Show me ONE "ULTRABOOK" at this price in India and I w...

Excellent product - compact but powerful. Extremely light weight. Beautiful design. Superior finish. Very good battery life. Not less than any high end ultra-book.

My friend has this and let me tell you right off the bat: This laptop is like the Macbook;Just cheaper. Both are sleek,have a great battery life and suck at everything else.

This review will be tiered accordingly. And probably the most detailed review you can find here.

Battery Life: This is the only place where UX305 shines. i was able to get almost 6 hours using this(Read: Browsing the internet). Do not get trumped by the 0.8 GHz number This is actually a pro. Clock speeds that low ARE ...

Bought this on Flipkart in 21st October 2015.
Have been using for the past few months. It's lightweight and the ssd is fast enough. Battery performance is almost as good as they advertised. Haven't upgraded to Windows 10, but Windows 8.1 works fine too. Display is good as in vividness in colour and screen resolution. You ought to register on the Asus website within a month after your order, else getting the one year warranty might be a problem, although it seems it would perform fine for year...

this laptop got rave reviews on many sites for giving awesome configuration at such an affordable price in the US, that configuration was 256 GB ssd + 8 GB ram for 699 $.
but in india asus decided to reduce the ram to 4 GB and increase the price at the same time.
I understand prices needed to be high due to additional taxes in india but why only 4 GB RAM, Why Asus Why ??? on top of that RAM in these ultrabooks is non- upgradable, and even in the present scenario ram usage is crossing 4 GB wi...

to the reviewer above: Its not really the competitor to Macbook air. its in the same class as the new "macbook". For one, it uses the intel core-M, clocked at 800MHz (a bit risky if you ask me, I think even my phone is clocked at a higher speed).

Overall a great laptop if portability is your major concern and if you won't be running any heavy applications/do a lot of multi tasking. the battery life is great and the matte screen gives less glare when used out in the sunlight.
