Submission + - Intel Core M Enabling Lower Cost Ultrabooks, Asus UX305 Review (hothardware.com)
bigwophh writes: Asus announced the super-slim Zenbook UX305 during the IFA trade show in Berlin in September. The machine will be available in two models, one with a 1920x1080 IPS display and one with a QHD+ display that boasts a native resolution of 3200x1800. They’re both built around the power efficient Intel Core M processor, which was designed for ultra-thin, fanless form factors. Intel’s Core M offers some significant advances both in terms of power consumption and performance, which enables many of the design features found on the 12.3mm thin UX305. The Core M 5Y10 in the Asus Zenbook UX305 is complemented by 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, and this is one of the few ultrabooks to feature a matte display. All told, the machine put up some decent numbers in the benchmarks and battery life was excellent.
