I've been using the Asus UX31 for almost 2 weeks now and I have to say that I love it.

My reasons for purchasing this specific model were for 2 reasons.
First, screen resolution. I have perfect eyesight and for me "screen real estate" is based on how many pixels there are, not how big the screen is physically. 1600x900 at 13" is the best you can do unless you want to shell out $3000 for a top of the line Sony VIAO.
My second reason for purchasing this laptop was build quality. I am preparing for a 2 year service in the Peace Corps. I wanted something small, powerful, and most importantly, physically strong. This baby has a solid aluminum frame with no "give". And with no moving parts (thanks to the SSD) I won't mind if it takes a few knocks whether it's powered on or off.

Keyboard: It's fine for work on the go, but this external: ([...]) fits nicely into my bag for setting up a mobile workspace.

Trackpad: Pain in the ass with settings as shipped. If you've read many other reviews you'll understand. I found that the best solution is to disable the ASUS SmartSense settings entirely and use this program instead: TouchFreeze - [...] Using TouchFreeze has been a wonderful solution for me but I'd still like to see ASUS fix the issue with a driver update so that I don't have to use a separate application.

Storage: If you think that 128GB is not enough, than you need to learn to use an external hard drive effectively. Your media (music, videos, full res photos) don't need to be stored locally. Even large programs and games can be installed to an external drive. A small portable USB powered 1TB external does the trick for me.

Graphics: The other day I plugged my UX31 up to a giant 1920x1080 display and ran an extended desktop with no problems. I don't play very many modern games, but I have been able to run Civilization IV with full specs even using the battery saver power configuration.

All the other reviews should cover everything else you need to know, so read them! I'm a software developer and a hardware snob as well. This machine is meeting all my current demands except one: the 4GB RAM cannot be upgraded. To be in the ultrabook category, you must compromise there.

One last thing you should know: I was initially overly zealous about uninstalling the bloatware that ASUS included. There are a few programs that need to be kept running to keep things stable. Those are Power4Gear Hybrid, PowerWiz, InstantOn, PWR Option, ATK Package, WinFlash, Wireless Console 3, and ASUS Splendid Vid ET. Those are the ones I decided to keep, uninstall them at your own risk. 

First, I'm going to mention all the amazing things about this laptop.
1. 1600x900 display. This screen is awesome; I don't think I could ever go back to using any other laptop's screen. Although it isn't IPS, I haven't had any problems with viewing angles...not that I've allowed this laptop to escape my grasp for the past two days.
2. Full range of ports. USB 3.0, micro HDMI, mini VGA, card reader, there's really everything I'm ever going to use on a daily basis. If I'm buying an ultraportable, I don't want bulky ports that I'm not going to use.
3. Metal chassis. I love how solid and luxurious this computer feels. I thought I was going to hate the spun finish on the front, but it actually looks great (it's much more subdued than all the pictures online led me to believe)! Believe me, this ultrabook is a showstopper. I had tons of compliments when I was using it in class the other day.
4. i5 processor + 128 GB SSD. The i5-2557M that powers this Zenbook is more than enough for everyday computing. Combined with the SSD, this is one of the fastest computers I've ever used. Also, out of the 103 GBs available in the SSD, I have 67 remaining. That's after installing a few browsers, Skype, iTunes, Office 2010, and antivirus software. Since it starts up so quickly, I can load everything I don't want cluttering up my SSD into Dropbox.
5. Instant On. The Zenbook does indeed start up from sleep in two seconds, and it takes around 15 to start from a cold reset.
6. Sound quality. When I tried out the speakers, I was just blown away. These are by far the best speakers I have ever heard on a laptop, especially one this small. They're really loud, but the quality is amazing - I heard no crackling or anything when I turned the volume up.
7. Free case, mini VGA, and Ethernet adapter. Asus really pulled out all the stops for accessories here. I have an EEE Pad Transformer, and I thought the charger was going to be as ugly as the Transformer's is, but I was wrong. Asus created the same spun finish on the sides of the charger as it did for the front of the laptop. I was really impressed.

8. Warranties included! One good thing about buying from Amazon is that Asus includes a 1 year global warranty and a 1 year accidental damage warranty. If you buy this computer from any of several brick and mortar stores in the US, the warranties aren't included. Since some credit cards add a year on to any manufacturer's warranty, for me, this was a free two-year warranty!
9. Design elements. I love the wedge profile of this computer. If I'm going to spend over a grand on a laptop, I want something that stands out, which this certainly does. As I mentioned, the body feels very strong, but it's still quite light. I can slip it into my backpack without even noticing its weight.

When I bought this computer, I had heard about the negative reviews. My biggest concerns were:
1. Bad/slow wireless
Actually, my reception has been fine. I've used this in my apartment and in class, and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I didn't have to adjust my wireless settings to full power or anything like that.
2. Unusable touchpad
I admit, when I first started using the UX31, I was furious. The touchpad was skittish and nonreceptive. However, the update helped a huge amount. I'm still not completely used to the fact that the touchpad stays nonreceptive for a second or so after typing (as to not move the cursor with my wrists), but I'll learn to manage. Although it's a little disappointing for such an expensive product, I can live with it.
Furthermore, it took me a little while to realize this, but the bottom "button" area of the touchpad isn't designed to be used as a touchpad. It's more or less just a built in button. Now that I know that, it's not annoying when my fingers don't register movement on the bottom of the touchpad.
3. Shallow keys
The keyboard on this machine is high quality. I really like typing with it, and even though it took me a little while to get used to the position and feel of the keys, it's just as easy to type on as my desktop (or, almost as easy).

After using this machine for around two days now, I've decided that I'm definitely keeping it. While the touchpad isn't as stellar as I would like it to be, the shape, sound, and other physical attributes of the UX31 more than make up for it. Well done, Asus. The MacBook Air has a real competitor now.
