Asus Zenbook UX21

For so much promise, the Zenbook UX21 falls tragically short at one of the most important factors: human interaction. The touch pad, screen and keyboard make this one product you'll want to pass by — no matter how pretty it is.

Rating: 6.0/10

The Good: Extremely pretty • likely to be a subject of envy amongst colleagues and friends alike • SandForce SSD drive screams • Sound is great for the form factor • All the way up to Core i7 performance.

The Bad: Poor keyboard drops letters frequently • Erratic touch pad • Screen has very shallow vertical viewing angles • Rear of the notebook gets very hot under load.
