UX305CA-DQ105T
Category:
A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

A slim, featherweight powerhouse
ZenBook UX305CA is designed to go everywhere you go. Weighing a mere 1.2kg and just 1.23cm thin, it's never a burden, always a delight. But it's not just an amazingly-beautiful, lightweight laptop: it's seriously powerful too, packed with the latest high-performance technology. With ZenBook UX305CA, you can do all the incredible things you've always wanted to do, wherever you are.

Embodying the spirit of Zen
The sophisticated design of ZenBook UX305CA is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, engineered to stand out from the crowd. It takes dozens of precisely-controlled manufacturing steps to forge each ZenBook UX305CA from a raw block of solid aluminum. The subtle and refined new shape incorporates the DNA of the classic ZenBook, with an elegantly-tapered wedge design that's both practical and elegant.

Pure elegance, chic colors
The all-aluminum ZenBook UX305CA is stunningly elegant no matter which of the three gorgeous color schemes you choose. Take your pick from silky-smooth Ceramic White , tactile Aurora Metallic, or classic Obsidian Stone with its signature spun-metal finish: all these subtle, sophisticated shades are enhanced with brilliant diamond-cut chamfered edges that accentuate the understated beauty of ZenBook UX305CA.

Stunningly-detailed QHD+ display
ZenBook UX305CA has a display that looks just as good as you'd expect from such a beautiful laptop. The ultra-sharp touchscreen has an amazing up to QHD+ resolution of 3200 by 1800 pixels and a brightness of 300cd/m2, so it's always easy and comfortable to view. And with an incredible pixel density of 276 pixels per inch, images and text are always pin-sharp and ultra-detailed.

Wide viewing angles and vivid colors
ZenBook UX305CA uses a high-quality IPS display with a wide color gamut (72% NTSC), so the colors you see on screen are accurate, vivid and realistic — even at the widest viewing angles!

Lifelike color with ASUS Splendid technology
Developed by the ASUS Golden Eye team, exclusive ASUS Splendid technology gives you vivid, accurate colors no matter what you're watching. It works by automatically fine-tuning various display settings to optimize all kinds of images. The result is richer, deeper colors and stunning visuals whether you're watching videos and movies, playing games or browsing through your photos.

The latest Intel® Core™ M processor
With up to 8GB RAM and the amazing Intel® Core™ M processor, ZenBook UX305CA breezes through all your everyday tasks . And thanks to the high-speed all-flash storage — up to a 512GB SSD that's six times faster than a conventional hard disk — ZenBook UX305CA will never keep you waiting.

Sign in to your ZenBook with just a glance
Use the special built-in infrared camera to take full advantage of the facial recognition in Windows Hello — you can log in securely and easily on your ZenBook UX305CA just by looking at the front camera. There's no need to memorize passwords, because your face is your unique password!
*Selected models only, please contact your local sales outlet for detailed specifications.

Fanless cooling: Enjoy the silence
ZenBook UX305CA lets you work in blissful silence. The combination of the power-efficient Intel® Core™ M processor and a lot of clever engineering means that it doesn't need a fan to keep cool. Instead, we get rid of the heat efficiently using a high-tech, ultra-thin 0.5mm-diameter heatpipe made from a special chromium-copper alloy.

Up to 10 hours battery life
ZenBook UX305CA's powerful battery and intelligent power management keep it working for up to 10 hours* with Wi-Fi connected. So when you want to unwind after a tough day, there'll always be plenty of power in hand for play!

Ultra-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi
ZenBook UX305CA lets you get connected faster and further with the latest 802.11ac Wi-Fi — with speeds of 867Mbit/s, it's up to three times faster than 802.11n! And Bluetooth® 4.0 lets you connect your favorite devices with less impact on battery life. ZenBook UX305CA gives you the freedom to what you need to do, wherever you want to do it!

Stay chilled with ASUS IceCool
ASUS-exclusive IceCool technology prevents heat build-up on the palm rest, keeping it within a temperature range of 28゚C to 35゚C. This is well below body temperature, giving you a much more comfortable and relaxing typing experience than conventional laptops.

Intuitive touchpad with Smart Gestures
The highly-accurate touchpad on ZenBook UX305 features ASUS Smart Gesture technology for a more intuitive and natural feel, using many of the same Windows gestures you use on a touchscreen. The touchpad uses exclusive technology developed for smartphone touch screens to give high sensitivity and incredible accuracy.

Outstanding ergonomics
The full-size, one-piece chiclet keyboard is a masterpiece of ergonomics, with an improved design featuring a long 1.5mm of key travel and minimal key float. The result? A solid feel and a more comfortable experience, even for those marathon typing sessions.

Powerful connections
ZenBook UX305CA's three USB 3.0 ports speed transfers up to ten times (10X) faster than older USB 2.0 connections, and deliver more power for faster charging. And ZenBook UX305CA goes still further, with ASUS USB Charger+ technology built into one port to charge connected devices up to 50% faster – even when ZenBook is asleep or switched off.

ASUS SonicMaster: designed to sound incredible
Incredible sound has always been a feature of the ZenBook family, and ZenBook UX305CA is no exception. ASUS SonicMaster technology — tuned by the renowned ASUS Golden Ear team — uses a combination of precision engineering and software to deliver sound like you've never heard before from a laptop, with deep rich bass and crystal-clear vocals, even at the highest volume levels.

Perfect sound, every time
Whatever you're listening to, ZenBook UX305CA makes it easy to achieve the perfect audio settings. The easy-to-use AudioWizard software includes five preset modes with settings that are optimized for different sound sources, so you can always enjoy the ultimate listening experience with a single click. Or if you prefer, you can take full control of the settings yourself and make it sound even more awesome!

Your ZenBook, your cloud
ASUS cloud services provide a complete platform for online living, accessible anywhere from a host of devices. With ASUS WebStorage, convenience is the main priority, offering you easy storage, sharing, and syncing of everything from business presentations to photo albums and your favorite multimedia content. Each ZenBook UX305 comes with 16GB of WebStorage space free for one year.

Bottom line There's nothing much to tease or be disappointed about with the ASUS Zenbook UX305CA. It's a well-built laptop that's incredibly mobile and does its intended job well. The design makes good use of its thinness and despite that, temperatures are kept at ve...

Bottom line The upgraded UX305CA brings some welcome hardware and quality of life changes, including an excellent keyboard that makes typing a joy. But the head-scratching inclusion of a QHD screen hikes the price up too high to remain competitive. Stick with the...

Slim and classy. The Zenbook's special feature is its high-resolution QHD+ panel (3200x1800 pixels). It provides a razor-sharp image, but its contrast is weak. Everything is in line beyond that: Fast SSD, long battery life, decent keyboard. However, the b...

Bottom line Asus' Zenbook UX305CA-FB055T is a lightweight and very slim 13.3-inch subnotebook. The installed Core m7 processor has enough computing power for routine application scenarios. Its low TDP allows passive cooling. Thus, the laptop usually runs noiselessly...

We had good things to say about Asus' super-slim ZenBook UX305 when we evaluated it early last year. Attractive, sturdy, and downright tiny, the UX305 was a good value for the price, and it had good looks too. A year later, the ZenBook is back with the up...

Bottom line The Asus ZenBook UX305CA is an evolutionary update to an already nice product, but this is one of cases in which that's a (mostly) good thing. The ZenBook's design and build quality are as good in this year's model as they were in the previous edition, so...

Apart from the version of Windows (Win 10 here, versus 8.1 on the UX305FA) and a different generation of Intel Core M processor, these laptops differ little. The ZenBook UX305CA's processor is a second-generation version of the Core M. (We tested a 900MHz...

Good choice, take 2. Asus' update of the Zenbook UX305 is not extensive by any means with a Skylake m3 CPU instead of a Broadwell SoC standing out as the notable difference. In the other areas, the UX305CA inherits both the strengths and weaknesses of the...

Bottom line All things considered, the UX305CA isn't that much different from the predecessor Zenbook UX305FA-FB003H. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing - after all where else do you get a unibody aluminum chassis, Core M processor, 8 GB of RAM, a 256 GB S...
