The Best Bang For Your Buck Asus Zenbook UX433F

Design The Asus Zenbook UX433F has a chassis of a 13-inch notebook but don’t be surprised to see a 14-inch screen fitted to it. It is a trend most companies are adapting, to a smaller footprint but a bigger screen.

This is achieved using an extremely slim bezel giving the laptop an almost frameless design. Our unit's finishing in Icicle Silver which makes this ultrabook look premium. There are some rose gold accents on the ASUS emblem and a strip running just above the keyboard giving it a nicer touch to the already premium looking notebook.

Just by the feel, you can already tell that most parts of the chassis is built from high quality aluminium. There is very minimal chassis flex and the use of glass on the display makes it even more rigid. Speaking of glass, the touchpad on the Zenbook also uses glass and there is a reason to that. On the top right corner of the touchpad, there is an indicator which denotes a numeric keypad. Touch and hold the indicator for a second, the whole touchpad transforms into a numeric pad. Pretty cool don’t you think? Of course, Asus isn’t the first or the only to have this.

The keyboard has pretty decent-sized keys and they are laid out perfectly to type. Key travel on this keyboard is deep enough to give a satisfying click but the retention is a little hard which requires a little more effort than typing on other keyboards. The keyboard is backlit with three levels of brightness.
