Rating the S400 is difficult since the notebook straddles the lines between the disparate device classes. Since it is categorized by the manufacturer as a particularly mobile product, we have decided to rate it as a subnotebook. For a multimedia device the required graphics performance is absent, and the rating would result in a correspondingly lower result of 82% in this case. ASUS A45VD Battery
In a way, any decision to purchase a notebook is a search for a compromise: weight and size, mobility, size of the display, performance - all those characteristics that make up the ideal notebook are often opposing in their nature and can't be easily combined into one unit. ASUS A45VG Charger
If there is one manufacturer who has repeatedly succeeded with the seemingly impossible task to create such notebooks, it's Apple. The undoubtedly very expensive, but from a technical standpoint very convincing MacBook Pro 15 Retina recently raised the bar for the competition to new levels. ASUS A45VJ Battery
Enter Asus and their new Zenbook, which seeks to challenge the dominating notebooks from Cupertino. The Zenbook UX51VZ - a combination of an Ultrabook and a powerful multimedia notebook - attempts to merge the attributes of each category together into one seamless unit. A quick look at the specs reveals some high-end components: quad core i7-3612QM CPU, GeForce GT 650M GPU, FullHD display with IPS panel, and SSD RAID. Mouthwatering specs - so what's not to like?

The price, for one: Asus charges 1700 Euros (~$2170) for the 256 GB and 2000 Euros (~$2550) for the 512 GB version - almost in Apple territory. The conceptually similar models of the competition - the Dell XPS 15 and Sony Vaio SV-S1511 - are not really any cheaper though when configured similarly. ASUS A45VS Battery
