ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A-DB51 13.3-Inch Ultrabook

ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A Comparison :

Comparing the 7 new 13.3" Zenbooks, UX31A and UX32 series


The UX31A are all Asus "Zenbook Prime" which features IPS FHD display and SSD drives, and Ivy Bridge CPU.
Here are the key difference within these 4 models:
UX31A-XB72: Ivy Bridge I7-3517UE 3rd gen CPU, 256GB SSD with TPM(trusted platform), Windows 7 Professional
UX31A-DB71: Same CPU as above, same size SSD as above but no TPM, Windows 7 Premium instead of Professional
UX31A-AB71: Same CPU as above, 128GB SSD with no TPM, Windows 7 Premium instead of Professional
UX31A-XB52: CPU is Ivy Bridge I5-3317U 3rd gen CPU, 256GB SSD with TPM, Windows 7 Professional
UX31A-DB51: CPU is Ivy Bridge I5-3317U 3rd gen CPU, 128GB SSD with no TPM, Windows 7 Home Premium instead of Professional

The UX32 series a bit more complex to compare, few observations, UX32 series only have 48W battery compared to 50W on the UX31A and use hybrid drives instead of pure SSD
Here are the key difference within these 3 models:
UX32VD-DB71: best of these 3 with IPS FHD, i7 Ivy bridge i7-3517UE 3rd gen CPU, 500GB hybrid with 24G SSD, dedicated graphics GT 620M 1GB
UX32A-DB51: standard HD display(not IPS) at lower res than above, i5-3317U as opposed to i7 above, no dedicated graphics
UX32A-DB31: same standard HD display as DB51, 2nd gen CPU of i3-2367, 320GB hybrid hard drive, various accessories not included

Customer review :


My second laptop doesn't have any problems. I'm getting about 5 hours of battery life while doing light programming and listening to music on auto-brightness (there's a brightness sensor) which sets the display at about 60 percent brightness indoors. 
I received  ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A-DB51 13.3-Inch Ultrabook  a few hours ago and I'm going to give my first impressions on the device. 

I ordered this Zenbook Prime UX31A-DB51 ultrabook from Amazon and received it promptly and in perfect condition this week. The i5 proc (newer "ivy bridge" model) has plenty of power for my use (and for almost any average use), and for what I'm using this for, I also don't need more than 128GB of storage, so I decided to go with this model instead of the DB72, which has the i7 proc and 256 SSD.
