I own a UX305LA and have owned two previous models in the UX line. Glad to see it mentioned, I like them all very much.
The battery is proprietary but easily replaced. My main issue with my previous UX31 was with the SSD. It died within a year and was no longer readable. It was a piece of proprietary SanDisk crap. Googling around about it yields various complaints about it (http://www.pcper.com/news/Mobile/Be-careful-which-ASUS-Zenbook-SSD-you-pick http://www.pcper.com/news/Mobile/Be-careful-which-ASUS-Zenbo...).
Battery life: I run Arch Linux with LXQt and get about 6 hours on a full charge. It's not great but IIRC I was getting better on Windows so it might be a software issue.
- ekianjo 11y ago> It was a piece of proprietary SanDisk crap. you mean it was not a standard SSD ?
- scrollaway 11y agoIt wasn't, no. The UX is too thin for 2.5in SSDs. I had to find a special adapter to attempt reading it when it died. This is what it looks like: http://www.pcper.com/files/news/2012-03-12/SSDR_Sandisk-SSD.jpg http://www.pcper.com/files/news/2012-03-12/SSDR_Sandisk-SSD.... FWIU they went with a different brand on their newer models, might be better.
- khedoros 11y agoThat looks like an M.2 PCIe connection. Is it something less standard than that?
