华硕UX32A-R3001V 超级本测评
Asus has made a number of versions of the ultrabook trying and testing different options internally until it could produce an acceptable design. Matching examples from the Zenbook range would be the UX31A or even the UX32VD. Both give the potential buyer a well-built, very stable and at the same time, an extremely thin aluminum casing and a 13 inch screen - that even incorporates Full HD resolution.
However, the above named ultrabooks are at a price range of just over 1000 Euro (~$1300). Until now, Asus did not have much to set against the entry-level competition of around 800 Euro. Here we find Lenovo's Ideapad U310, just like Acer's Aspire S3 and Fujitsu's Lifebook UH 572 which are all powered by a Core i5-3317U. Let us find out whether the UX32A can convince with the slightly slower Core i3-2367M from the older Sandy Bridge generation.
华硕也提出了一些版本的Ultrabook的努力,并在内部测试不同的选项,直到它可以产生一个可接受的设计。匹配的ZENBOOK范围的例子将是的UX31A甚至UX32VD。这两个潜在的买家精心打造的,非常稳定,在同一时间,一个非常薄的铝外壳和13英寸的屏幕 - 即使采用全高清分辨率。
然而,以上的的ultrabooks是在刚刚超过1000欧元(1300美元)的价格范围。到现在为止,华硕并没有太多设置约800欧元针对入门级的竞争。在这里,我们发现联想的IdeaPad U310,就像宏碁的Aspire S3和富士通的LifeBook UH572都采用了酷睿i5-3317U。让我们找出的UX32A是否能说服稍微慢一点的从旧的Sandy Bridge的新一代酷睿i3-2367M。
Case
We admit that we cannot call any ultrabook, not even the cheapest ones, really ugly. However, there are very few of them that present themselves as elegant as the UX32A when placed on our desk. The highly praised case design of the more expensive sibling has been adopted. Although the UX31A's unibody chassis has not been used, it features a nicely designed and rigid structure. To keep costs down, the UX32A uses the same chassis as the UX32VD. It was described in detail in its review and here is a summary:
The charcoal-gray and aluminum-silver ultrabook's brushed surfaces (circular on the top, otherwise linear) give the buyer a few good looking features. Despite narrow, almost fragile dimensions and low weight (approximately 1.5 kg or 3.3lb.), the chassis comprised of an aluminum-plastic composite that provides a high degree of stability, even in the area of the rigid lid. It can be opened to an angle of 130° even with one hand and stays in position without any wobbling.
It is commendable that Asus uses this impressive casing even for its cheapest Zenbook version. We can say that the case construction is one of the best for an ultrabook in this price range.
我们承认,我们不能把任何的Ultrabook,即使是最便宜的,真难看。但是,也有极少数人展示自己优雅的放在我们的桌子时,UX32A。高度赞扬的情况下,设计更贵的兄弟姐妹已被采纳。 ,虽然在UX31A的整体式底盘没有被使用,它提供一个很好的设计和刚性的结构。为了降低成本,UX32A使用相同的底盘的UX32VD。它详细描述了其在审议和这里是摘要:
木炭灰和铝银ultrabook的拉丝表面(圆形的顶部,否则线性)给买方的几个不错的功能。尽管窄,几乎脆弱的尺寸和低重量(约1.5公斤或3.3磅的。),机箱组成的铝 - 塑料复合材料,提供了高度的稳定性,甚至在该地区的刚性盖。可以甚至用一只手打开到130°的角度,并保持在适当位置没有任何摆动。
值得称道的是,华硕采用这一令人印象深刻的外壳,即使最便宜的ZENBOOK版本。我们的情况下建设可以说是在这个价格范围内的ultrabook的最好的之一。
Connectivity
Like in the UX32VD, Asus does not install any slow USB 2.0 ports and treats our Zenbook to three USB 3.0 ports. One is located on the left and the other two on the right of the slim base unit. The ports on the right are a bit too close for comfort, but they can both recharge smartphones when the laptop is turned off (powered USB).
MMC/SD(HC) cards can be inserted in the slot on the ultrabook's left. It is possible to connect headsets or speakers to the combined microphone/headphone jack on the right. Monitors and projectors (right) are either connected via HDMI or mini VGA via the included VGA adapter.
在UX32VD一样,华硕并没有安装任何缓慢的USB 2.0端口和对待我们的ZENBOOK到3个USB 3.0端口。一个位于左侧和其他两个的超薄基站单元在右侧。在右边的端口都有点太接近的舒适性,但它们都可以充电当笔记本电脑处于关闭状态(供电USB)的智能手机。
MMC / SD(HC)卡可以插在插槽上的Ultrabook的左边。它可以连接耳机或扬声器,麦克风/耳机插孔在右侧。通过HDMI或VGA迷你通过VGA适配器是连接显示器和投影仪(右)。
Communication
Intel's Centrino Advanced N-6235 connects the UX32A to a/b/g/n Wi-Fi networks and supports the proprietary Wireless Display technology in addition to Bluetooth 4.0. Screen content can be transmitted to corresponding monitors and flat screens even without cables. An included USB to LAN adapter enables cabled connections to LAN networks.
Accessories
In addition to a very high-quality looking but thinly padded laptop sleeve, the compulsory user's manuals and the two aforementioned adapters (USB-to-LAN, mini VGA-to-VGA) are found in the slim, elegant box. Beyond that, Asus also includes two small Velcro cable ties sporting a printed logo.
Maintenance
A total of 12 Torx screws separate us from the UX32A's innards. After they have been removed, the entire base plate can be lifted off and all innards can be accessed. This will likely please every savvy user. No matter if its is general maintenance or exchanging parts, everything is quick and easy. According to Asus, it does not void the warranty.
Warranty
Like other Zenbooks, the UX32A is sold with a two year pick-up & return warranty.
通讯
英特尔的迅驰高级N-6235的UX32A连接,A / B/ G / N Wi-Fi网络,除了蓝牙4.0支持专有的无线显示技术。屏幕内容可以被发送到相应的显示器和平板显示器,即使没有电缆。一个附带的USB LAN适配器电缆连接至LAN网络。
饰品
另外一个质量非常高的,但薄衬垫的笔记本电脑内套,强制用户手册和上述两种适配器(USB-LAN,迷你VGA到VGA),身材苗条,优雅的盒子。除此之外,华硕还包括两个小魔术贴扎线带运动的印刷标志。
保养
12 Torx螺丝,把我们分开,共从该UX32A的内脏。他们已被删除后,整个底板可以升空,所有的内脏可以访问。这可能会请每个精明的用户。无论是一般维修或更换零件,一切都方便快捷。据华硕,它不会导致保修失效。
保
像其他Zenbooks,UX32A出售一项为期两年的回升返回保修。
Input Devices
Keyboard
The recent past shows us that there are very good keyboards (e.g. Ideapad U310) as well as rather poor ones (e.g. Lifebook UH572) that are installed in cheap ultrabooks.
Again, our test device benefits from the keyboard of the more expensive UX32VD. Like in many other ultrabooks, it is chiclet style, features a velvety soft and pleasant surface as well as a crisp pressure point. The keystroke is generous for an ultrabook. However, it has to sooner be described as falling short compared with conventional laptop keyboards. But that does not change anything about the great typing feel that we experienced as we continued to use the laptop. In addition to the keyboard's triple-level backlight, we especially liked the fairly good key drop. Although it occasionally recoils, it is so slight that we can ignore this as a problem with good conscience. The Zenbook keyboard was never a cause for accidental typos during the test.
Touchpad
The generously sized touchpad does not feature dedicated buttons. Right and left clicks are distinguished only by the clicked area and assigned to the respective click (the pad's lower edge is marked for this).
The velvety and rather smooth surface features pleasant gliding traits and the cursor follows inputs very accurately. The supported multi-touch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom or two-finger scrolling, responded quickly and could be implemented accurately, although not yet on the excellent level of Apple laptops.
To summarize, we can say that the input devices belong to the best available in ultrabooks of this price range (another equally good example is the Ideapad U310).
键盘
最近告诉我们,有很好的键盘(如联想ideapad U310),以及比较差的(如LIFEBOOK UH572)已安装在廉价的ultrabooks。
同样,我们的测试装置的好处,从键盘输入的更昂贵的UX32VD。在许多其他ultrabooks一样,它是独立式Chiclet风格,拥有天鹅绒般的柔软和舒适的表面,以及一个清晰的压力点。按键是大方的ultrabook的。但是,它有以越早被描述为低于与传统的笔记本电脑的键盘相比。但是,这并不能改变什么伟大的打字感觉,我们经历了我们继续使用笔记本电脑。除了键盘上的三电平背光源,我们特别喜欢相当不错的钥匙下拉。虽然偶尔会反冲,它是如此轻微,我们可以忽略这是一个问题的良知。 ZENBOOK键盘从来没有在测试过程中意外的排字错误的原因。
触摸板
大尺寸的触控板没有配备专门的按钮。右侧和左侧的点击,只区别于点击的区域,并分配给各自的点击(垫的下边缘被标记为)。
天鹅绒般的,而光滑的表面特征愉快的滑翔特征,光标跟随输入非常准确。支持多点触摸手势,如捏到变焦或双指滚动,迅速做出反应,并且可以实现准确的说,虽然目前还没有苹果笔记本电脑上的高超水平。
总结,我们可以说,输入设备属于中最好的ultrabooks这个价格范围内(另一个同样很好的例子是的IdeaPad U310)。
Display
Asus strikes out the Full HD IPS screen in its lowest-end Zenbooks for cost reasons and installs a matte 13.3 inch TN screen with a standard resolution of 1366x768 pixels instead (InfoVision M133NWN1 R1).
This cheaper variant should be absolutely sufficient for an ultrabook's routine use. It is quite suitable for outdoor use with a maximum average brightness of 250.3 cd/m2 (but direct sunlight should be avoided anyway). The colors look fairly balanced although a bit pale.
华硕取得了全高清IPS硬屏由于成本的原因,并在其最低端的Zenbooks安装了磨砂的13.3英寸TN屏幕,标准分辨率为1366×768像素,而不是(龙腾M133NWN1 R1)。
这更便宜的变量应该是绝对足够的ultrabook的日常使用的。它是非常适合户外使用的250.3 cd/m2的最大平均亮度(但无论如何,应避免阳光直接照射)。虽然有点苍白的颜色看起来相当平衡。

48.53% sRGB (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
37.78% Display P3 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
The reproducible color space confirms our subjective impression. The range of displayable colors is rather narrow (compared with sRGB, see screenshot). Otherwise, the screen is quite convincing. The good black value of 0.52 cd / m2 leads to a very compelling contrast of 513:1.
Horizontal viewing angle alterations also lead to very marginal deviations in presentation (slight fading). This alongside the sharp contrast and the good black value result, for example, in a great movie experience. Worse screens are installed in this price range and, with exception of graphic designers, will not make buyers protest.
可再现的色彩空间,印证了我们的主观印象。显示的颜色范围是比较窄(的sRGB相比,见截图)。否则,屏幕是相当有说服力的。良好的黑色值的0.52坎德拉/平方米,导致一个非常引人注目的对比度为513:1。
水平可视角度的改变,也导致非常轻微的偏差在演示文稿(轻微的褪色)。这一起了鲜明的对比和良好的黑色值的结果,例如,在一个伟大的电影体验。更糟糕的是屏幕被安装在这个价格范围内,除平面设计师,不会让购房者抗议。
Performance
The Zenbook UX32A is the weakest member of Asus ultrabook range. Nevertheless, we believe that it is absolutely suitable for the average tasks expected from an ultrabook. We can browse on the Web or work with Office software smoothly. We rarely notice the laptop's any lags in the performance despite the low-end hardware. Consequently, video editing or compute-intensive applications should be avoided.
For about 800 Euro (~$1050), you currently get the latest Core i5-3317U (1.7-2.6 GHz, HD Graphics 4000) in most ultrabooks. Regrettably, only a Core i3-2367M (1.4 GHz, HD Graphics 3000) from the outdated Sandy Bridge generation powers our Zenbook. The Ivy Bridge equipped ultrabooks will likely be superior in terms of performance in the following benchmarks. We used the more expensive Toshiba Portégé Z830 featuring the same CPU & GPU in various benchmarks for a better comparison basis.
ZENBOOK UX32A是最弱的成员,华硕Ultrabook的范围。然而,我们相信,这是绝对合适的平均任务的ultrabook的预期。我们可以在Web上浏览Office办公软件工作顺利。我们很少注意到,尽管低端的硬件,笔记本电脑的任何滞后的表现。因此,视频编辑或计算密集型应用程序应尽量避免。
约800欧元(〜$1050),目前得到的最新的酷睿i5-3317U(1.7-2.6 GHz的HD4000图形)在最ultrabooks。遗憾的是,酷睿i3-2367M(1.4 GHz的高清显卡3000)从过时的Sandy Bridge的的代权力,我们的ZENBOOK。配备Ivy Bridge的ultrabooks将有可能在性能方面更胜一筹,在以下基准。我们用更贵的东芝PortégéZ830具有同样的CPU和GPU更好地比较基础的各项指标。
Processor
As described above, the Core i3-2367M is not a performance machine. Nevertheless, it easily copes with routine applications including YouTube HD videos. Intel's Hyper Threading technology is implemented, although it lacks Turbo Boost. The processor is pinned at a frequency of 1.4 GHz.
Our test device is on a par with the equally equipped Toshiba Portégé Z830 in Cinebench R11.5 (multi-threaded). However, it lags behind the Aspire S3 by 82%, trailing the Ideapad U310 by 42% and 20% behind the inefficient Lifebook UH572 (all with a Core i5-3317U).
处理器
如上所述,的Core i3-2367M是不是一个性能机。不过,它很容易对付日常的应用,包括YouTube的高清视频。英特尔的超线程(HT)技术的实现,虽然它没有涡轮增压。该处理器被固定在频率为1.4GHz。
我们的测试设备是等同于同样配备的东芝PortégéZ830在CINEBENCH R11.5(多线程)。然而,落后的Aspire S3了82%,落后的IdeaPad U310背后的低效率的LifeBook UH572(全部采用了酷睿i5-3317U)的42%和20%。

The Turbo Boost missing in our processor propels the competition to a lead of exactly 100% in Cinebench R11.5 single benchmark. So, our low-end Zenbook cannot keep up with the competition in single-core applications. An up-to-date processor would have definitely been beneficial in the slim aluminum device.
在我们的处理器的Turbo Boost失踪推动竞争,在CINEBENCH R11.5单基准率先正好为100%。因此,我们的低端ZENBOOK不能跟上在单核应用的竞争。最新的处理器将在超薄铝设备肯定是有益的。
System Performance
The system's overall performance is dependent on the installed hard disk. Intel's minimum specifications for the storage device are followed in low-end ultrabooks and fast SSDs are therefore not used. However, the performance advantage compared with our test device should diminish a bit since all the rivals have this shortcoming.
Both the Ideapad U310 and Aspire S3 defeat our UX32A by 38% and the Lifebook UH572 takes a 60% lead in PCMark 7. We record exactly the same result in PCMark Vantage. Here, it is simply the faster CPU and GPU combination that has a major impact (Core i5-3317U / HD Graphics 4000) in contrast to our array (Core i3-2367M / HD Graphics 3000).
As mentioned above, it is also noticed in general system performance. The competition's value for money proposition is better. By the way, the Ideapad U310 is also available with our processor for 180 Euro (~$235) less.
系统性能
该系统的整体性能是依赖于所安装的硬盘。英特尔存储设备的最低规格随后在低端ultrabooks和快速的固态硬盘的,因此不使用。然而,我们的测试设备相比,性能上的优势,减少了一点,因为所有的对手有这样的缺点。
的IdeaPad U310和Aspire S3挫败我们的UX32A的38%和富士通LifeBook UH572采用了60%的铅在PCMark7。我们在PCMark Vantage的记录完全相同的结果。在这里,它只是更快的CPU和GPU的组合,有着重大的影响(酷睿i5-3317U/ HD图形4000)阵列(酷睿i3-2367M/ HD显卡3000)。
如上文所述,它也注意到,在一般的系统性能。本次大赛的钱命题是更好的。顺便说一下,联想ideapad U310还可以与我们的处理器为180欧元(约$235)。

Storage Devices
Intel specifies that at least one conventional hard disk must be coupled with a fast SSD cache in the cheapest ultrabooks. It is to store frequently used data and programs and make them quickly available.
Hitachi builds our 500 GB hard disk (5400 rpm) and it is supplemented by a small 32 GB SanDisk i100 as the cache, which is often installed in such configurations. It is too small in terms of capacity even if it has a read performance of 309 MB/s in HDTune, but barely any hard disk benefits from it when it comes to measuring the average transfer speed. Thus, it is no wonder that all compared devices are on par with an insignificant difference of just 7% (approximately that of fast conventional HDDs).
With roughly 0.5 and 1.1 MB/s for the 4K and 4KQD32, our HDD is on a level with fast HDDs lacking a cache in CrystalDiskMark. The 4K and 4KQD32 read scores simulates the loading speed of small amounts of data. The SSD cache loads small files much faster and supports the conventional hard disk with frequently needed smaller files (e.g. during the booting of the operating system). The Ideapad U310 is a paragon in this benchmark (about a 100% faster). If you are accustomed to a conventional hard disk, you will be satisfied with this unit.
存储设备
英特尔指定至少有一个传统的硬盘一定要加上一个快速的SSD缓存中最便宜的ultrabooks。它是存储频繁使用的数据和方案,使他们可以很快地。
日立建500 GB硬盘(5400转),它是由一个小的32 GB SanDisk的I100补充的缓存,通常安装在这种配置。在容量方面实在是太小了,即使它有一个在HDTune的309 MB/ s的读取性能,但几乎没有任何硬盘从它时,它的好处来测量平均传输速度。因此,这也难怪,比设备,不比相差不大,只有7%(大约是的快速常规硬盘驱动器)。
大约0.5和1.1 MB/ s的为4K和4KQD32的,我们的硬盘驱动器是在一个水平与快速的硬盘驱动器,缺乏在CrystalDiskMark的高速缓存。 4K和4KQD32阅读的分数模拟少量的数据加载速度。 SSD缓存小文件加载速度更快,支持传统的硬盘经常需要更小的文件(例如,在启动的操作系统)。的IdeaPad U310是一个典范基准(约100%的速度)。如果你习惯于传统的硬盘,你会得到满意的本机。
Graphics Card
Our GPU, Intel's HD Graphics 3000, is not the newest unit. The latest HD Graphics 4000 that is integrated in all compared laptops should render the demanded pixels up to 60% faster across the screen.
To make it clear, this IGP (CPU's integrated graphics processor) is designed for energy efficiency. An immense performance difference between the two cards will not be noticed in practical use. Both cards are made for "normal" application scenarios i.e. for Internet browsing or Office tasks. Even HD videos and games (on lowest settings) can be played. However, only configurations equipped with the newer IGP will often clear the hurdle between "playable" and "just playable" framerates.
Our UX32A lags behind the Lifebook UH572 by roughly 80% in 3DMark Vantage. The Ideapad U310 and Aspire S3 are also around 40% faster. Therewith, the new Ivy Bridge generation's advantage is confirmed. However, our test device takes the first place (of 6) compared with similarly equipped laptops (e.g. Sony Vaio SVT1311M1ES, Toshiba Portégé Z830, Toshiba Satellite L830).
图形卡
我们的GPU,英特尔高清显卡3000,是不是最新的单位。最新的高清显卡4000,集成在比笔记本电脑应提供所要求的像素高达60%的速度在屏幕上。
要清楚,这IGP(CPU集成的图形处理器)的能源效率而设计的。在两张卡之间巨大的性能差异,在实际使用中不被人注意。这两款显卡都为“正常”的应用场景,即上网浏览或办公任务。甚至高清视频和游戏(最低设置),可以播放。然而,只有配备了新的IGP配置往往会清除障碍,“可玩”和“只可玩”的帧速率。
我们的UX32A落后背后的LifeBook UH572,在3DMark Vantage了约80%。的IdeaPad U310和Aspire S3也快40%左右。舌头被确认,Ivy Bridge的新一代的优势。然而,我们的测试设备需要摆在首位(共6个)相比,同样配备笔记本电脑(如索尼的Vaio SVT1311M1ES,东芝PortégéZ830,东芝Satellite L830)。

Gaming Performance
Here we see that our Zenbook UX32A is apt for the occasional game in low details. Whether it is Anno 2070 in low details or Fifa 2012 in medium (using a resolution of 1024x768 for both games). The hardware intensive first-person shooter Metro 2033 at a resolution of 800x600 and low details (DX9) is close to being a flipbook with an average of 24 frames. Gaming isn’t going to be fun with all the stuttering going on.
Owing to the HD Graphics 4000, the competition frequently mentioned above are up to 40% faster and allows, for example, Annoto be played in medium quality settings. But if you really want to play a game on an ultrabook regularly, you should take the stronger and more expensive sibling of our test device like the UX32VD featuring a GeForce GT 620M. Nevertheless, no ultrabook is designed for gaming and they are meant for other normal workloads.
游戏性能
在这里,我们可以看到,我们的的ZENBOOK UX32A是偶尔的游戏很适合在低细节。无论是纪元2070在低细节或国际足联2012年在介质(为游戏采用了一块分辨率为1024×768)中。是一个连环画平均24帧的硬件密集型的第一人称射击地铁2033,分辨率为800×600,低细节(DX9)。游戏不会是所有的口吃的乐趣。
例如,由于高清显卡4000,竞争经常提到的是,以40%的速度,并允许Annoto播放在中等质量的设置。但是,如果你真的想经常玩游戏的ultrabook的,你应该像UX32VD的GeForce GT620M更强大和更昂贵的兄弟姐妹,我们的测试设备。然而,没有ultrabook的专为游戏,他们都是为了其他正常的工作负荷。

Emissions
System Noise
Our UX32A runs quietly in routine use. We measure around 32 dB running normal applications and this condition can be designated as low load (e.g. Internet browsing, Office). A maximum of 37.6 dB was measured during full load.
These measurements are very good for the ultrabook sector. Most ultrabooks are within a range of 40 dB or higher during maximum load. However, we can also recommend the relatively quiet Ideapad U310 for common use in addition to our Zenbook.
A look under the UX32A's hood shows the reason for the quiet cooling. This is shown in the images to the left. Two fans and the corresponding heat pipe system has been adopted from the stronger brother without many modifications. However, the low-end Zenbook does not have tocool a dedicated GPU like in the UX32VD. Consequently our test device does not really get loud even during load.
系统噪声
我们的UX32A运行悄悄地在日常使用。我们测量约32分贝,正常运行的应用程序,这种情况下可以被指定为低负载(如互联网浏览,Office)。在满负荷测量的最大为37.6分贝。
这些测量是非常良好的Ultrabook部门。大多数ultrabooks是在最大负载的40分贝或更高的范围内。然而,我们也可以建议比较安静的IdeaPad U310共同使用,除了我们的ZENBOOK。
根据的UX32A的罩一看显示的静音散热的原因。这是显示在左侧的图像。两个风扇和相应的热管系统已通过了较强的兄弟没有太多的修改。然而,低端ZENBOOK不tocool专用GPU像在UX32VD。因此,我们的测试设备并没有真正得到响亮,即使在负载。

Temperature
The measured surface temperatures of 32.1°C (top) and 32.9°C (bottom) on average are agreeably cool. Moreover, the cleverly positioned vents on the bottom alongside the fairly large opening angle enable comfortable use on the lap.
We recorded a maximum of 47°C on both the top and bottom after an hour of Prime 95 and Furmark in our stress test. That is not a good reading, although these temperatures will unlikely be reached in real use.
The core temperature of 76°C is still within an acceptable range. However, a short drop of CPU and GPU clock was noticed. This throttling is almost insignificant (unlike the Aspire S3). It only turned up after about an hour of stress testing in the UX32A (CPU is repeatedly throttled to 100 MHz for a short time), but not while we performed the processor benchmarks.
温度
测得的表面温度为32.1°C(顶部)和32.9°C(底部),平均愉快凉爽。此外,巧妙的定位底部的通风口,伴随着相当大的开角使舒适使用上一圈。
我们录得最高47°C的顶部和底部总理95和Furmark的一个小时后,我们的压力测试。这不是一个好读书,虽然在实际使用中不可能达到这样的温度下会。
温度为76°C的核心仍然是一个可以接受的范围内。然而,短期下跌的CPU和GPU时钟被发现。此限制几乎是微不足道的(不像的Aspire S3)。它仅出现在UX32A后大约一个小时的压力测试(CPU反复节流很短的时间为100 MHz),但不同时我们进行了处理器的基准。
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 46.8 °C / 116 F, compared to the average of 36.1 °C / 97 F, ranging from 21.4 to 281 °C for the class Subnotebook.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 47.1 °C / 117 F, compared to the average of 39.4 °C / 103 F
(±) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 32.1 °C / 90 F, compared to the device average of 30.8 °C / 87 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are reaching skin temperature as a maximum (35.9 °C / 96.6 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.3 °C / 82.9 F (-7.6 °C / -13.7 F).
Speakers
"Audio by Bang & Olufsen ICEpower" made us grin as we opened the slim ultrabook for the first time. We have not heard very good sound from ultrabook speakers until now. Where is it supposed to come from in view of this small size anyway? However, the sound we –heard being played through the small speaker openings could not be more defined, more balanced, clearer or even more enjoyable. Even bass was rendered precisely and balanced, although not extremely powerful. We do not want to spend a lot of time trying to describe the sound. We would recommend you simply go to the nearest electronics store around the corner and find out the truth of our statement yourself. Similar sound quality is unheard of in other ultrabooks in such laptops.
音箱
“由Bang&Olufsen公司的ICEpower音频”我们露齿而笑,为我们打开了超薄的Ultrabook第一次。 ultrabook的扬声器到现在为止,我们还没有听说过很好的声音。它应该来自反正在这个小尺寸?然而,我们听到正在播放的小喇叭开口的声音不能更明确,更平衡,更清晰或更愉快。即使准确,平衡,低音呈现,虽然不是非常强大的。我们不希望花费大量的时间试图描述的声音。我们建议你干脆去最近的电子商店拐角处,找出事实的真相,我们声明自己。类似的声音质量是闻所未闻的,其他ultrabooks在这种笔记本。
Battery Life
Power Consumption
With a consumption of up to 13 watts, our UX32A roughly drains 3 watts more than the calculated average of rivals in idle mode. However, we cannot reproach the Zenbook for that when looking closer because the matte screen simply needs a bit more power at maximum brightness.
Our test device consumes 40 watts at maximum load which is 10 watts more than the Aspire S3. This also often limits the processor clock rate as described above. Otherwise, the UX32A is in the higher bracket of the tested ultrabooks.
耗电量
随着消费至13瓦,我们的UX32A大致排水对手,在空闲模式下计算出的平均的3瓦以上。但是,我们不能责备的ZENBOOK,仔细一看,因为雾面屏幕只是需要更多的功率最大亮度。
我们的测试设备消耗40瓦,最大负荷为10瓦以上的Aspire S3。这也往往限制了处理器的时钟速率,如上所述。否则,UX32A是在较高的支架的测试ultrabooks。

Battery Runtime
The UX32A is also within the expected range for Zenbooks in terms of battery life. The 45.6 Wh battery lasts for 8 hours 54 minutes in the most extreme case (minimum screen brightness, disabled wireless connectivity, energy savings mode). This could be interesting for users who have to bridge longer periods without an outlet and want to read an e-book on train rides.
In our standardized Wi-Fi surfing test, the Zenbook achieves a total runtime of 4 hours 22 minutes at a brightness level of approximately 150 cd/m2 and utilizing the energy saving mode. That is in the Ideapad U310's vicinity (4 hours 17 minutes) and ahead of the Aspire S3 (3 hours 58 minutes) as well as Fujitsu's Lifebook UH572 (3 hours 17 minutes). The 13-inch MacBook Air is the leader of the ultrabooks with a runtime of 6 hours and HP's Folio 13 is the best performer in the low-end sector with over 5 hours of runtime.
With 2 hours and 46 minutes of runtime, our test device is able to beat its rivals in the BatteryEater Classic benchmark where load and high performance settings are simulated and the backlight is set to maximum. The competition gives up about an hour earlier than the UX32A. Ultrabook fans have a decent machine offering good mobility.
电池运行时间
UX32A也Zenbooks在电池续航方面的预期范围内。 45.6瓦时电池可以持续8小时54分钟,在最极端的情况下(最低屏幕亮度,禁用无线连接,节能模式下)。这可能是有趣的弥合较长时间没有电源插座,并希望阅读电子书乘坐火车的用户。
我们在标准化的Wi-Fi冲浪测试,的ZENBOOK达到总运行时间4小时22分钟,在约150 cd/m2和利用节能模式下的亮度级。这是联想ideapad U310的附近(4小时17分钟)和领先的Aspire S3(3小时58分钟)以及富士通的LifeBook UH572(3小时17分钟)。 13英寸的MacBook Air是全球领先的运行时间为6小时,HP的13开本是中低端的行业,超过5小时的运行中表现最好的ultrabooks。
2小时46分钟的运行,我们的测试设备是能够击败它的竞争对手在BatteryEater经典的基准负载和高的性能设置,模拟和背光设置为最大。本次大赛提供了大约一个小时前,比UX32A。 Ultrabook的球迷有一个像样的机器,提供良好的流动性。
Verdict
So, how successful is Asus' 800 Euro ultrabook project?
The customer is doubtlessly given a lot of extras for this price point. The slim, very well-built and rigid case is not unibody construction like in the UX31A. However, it is comprised of an aluminum-plastic composite that was adopted from the UX32VD just like the excellent Bang & Olufsen speakers and the sophisticated, extremely quiet cooling system featuring 2 heat pipes and 2 fans. The 13-inch TN screen has surprisingly good contrasts (due to a very good black value) and sufficient viewing angle stability. A brightness of 250 cd/m2 alongside the solid battery life of over 4 hours should reassure all ultrabook fans. Asus shows us that it is possible to create portable and yet inexpensive ultrabook that can be used outdoors and is affordable.
However, Asus had to make cutbacks in other areas to keep the cost of the laptop down. For example, the OEM has included a comparatively weak and outdated Sandy Bridge Core i3-2367M processor (2x 1.4 GHz) instead of the more expensive Ivy Bridge processors. This CPU is available in Lenovo's Ideapad U310 for 180 Euro less. For a price of around 800 Euro, almost every other ultrabook rival installs the considerably faster Core i5-3317U, which benefits from Turbo Boost (2.6 GHz maximum) to such an extent that some ultrabooks are twice as fast as our test device in certain benchmarks.
That is unfortunately true in real world workloads and just not in the synthetic benchmarks. For example, we noticed unusually long delays before installations or executing benchmarks in the test. It is certainly not only the processor's fault but that of the hard disk as well which is not much of an issue. Nevertheless, we question its long-term suitability. The competition proves to be faster in almost every case.
We are probably nit-picking here. The ultrabook user gets what he should expect from a 800 Euro device- an elegant, lightweight, rigid case, good input devices, a matte screen and satisfactory battery life. As a special treat, movies feature high-contrast pictures and music is rendered via the good speakers. If you are looking for a fairly affordable, well-designed travel companion rather than a high-performance machine, you can take the UX32A without hesitation. However, we would recommend comparing the competition listed on the right and a look at our top 10 subnotebook chart.
所以,华硕的800欧元的Ultrabook项目是如何成功的?
客户无疑是给予了很多的群众演员,这个价格点。纤细,精心打造的刚性情况下是没有的一体式建筑,如在UX31A。然而,它是由铝塑复合材料,采用从UX32VD就像优秀的Bang&Olufsen扬声器和复杂的,非常安静的冷却系统,热管和2个风扇。 13英寸TN屏出奇的好对比(由于一个很好的黑色值)和足够的视角稳定性。旁边的固体超过4小时的电池寿命,亮度为250 cd/m2的安抚所有的Ultrabook球迷。华硕告诉我们,它可以创建便携式,可在户外使用,是负担得起的,但便宜的ultrabook。
然而,,华硕不得不做出削减在其他领域保持成本的笔记本电脑。例如,OEM包括了一个比较薄弱的和过时的Sandy Bridge酷睿i3-2367M处理器(1.4 GHz的2倍),而不是更昂贵的Ivy Bridge处理器。 CPU是在联想的IdeaPad U310为180欧元少。以优惠的价格约为800欧元,几乎所有其他的ultrabook的对手安装速度要快酷睿i5-3317U,这有利于涡轮增压(2.6 GHz最大)到这样的程度,有些的ultrabooks是两次一样快,我们的测试设备,在某些基准测试。
很不幸,这是在现实世界中的工作负载,只是没有在合成基准。例如,我们注意到,安装或执行基准测试之前的相当长的延迟。这当然不只是处理器的故障的硬盘,这不是太大的问题。然而,我们质疑它的长期适宜。竞争证明在几乎所有的情况下要快。
我们可能在这里吹毛求疵。 ultrabook的用户得到什么,他应该期望从一个800欧元的设备优雅,重量轻,刚性的情况下,良好的输入设备,采用了磨砂屏幕和满意的电池寿命。作为一种特殊的享受,电影拥有高对比度的图片和通过音乐呈现良好的扬声器。如果你正在寻找一个相当实惠的,精心设计的旅游伴侣,而不是一个高性能的机器,你可以毫不犹豫地采取UX32A。不过,我们建议比较竞争的权利和看看排名前10位亚笔记本图上列出。
