Chassis / Design / Build quality
Already at a first glance one can see that with
the UX21E, ASUS has a very high quality Ultrabook in its
portfolio. The design is plain and simple and very pleasing. ASUS has understood
how to
combine aluminium and plastic in a clever way, that in the end, it generates an
attractive and homogenous overall picture, whereas the chassis is made from
aluminium and the keyboard from plastic. Furhtermore the case is also very
stable and offers a high level of stiffness. A closer look at the displays
hinge-joints reveals that they're made of aluminium too which guarantees a long
lifespan. These connection pieces also prevent annoying lupping of the display.
What makes Ultrabooks absolutely perfect to be carried around is there very low
weight. The product only weighs 1.1 kilogram.
Simple and with a certain amount of understatement,
that's how ASUS puts this notebooks expansion ports in place. Although we have
to mention at this place, that the UX21E only comes with a minimum. There is one
USB2.0 and a USB3.0 port. Next to these ports one can find a mini VGA as well as
a micro HDMI connector.
