I've been using Zenbook UX305ua (with Fedora) for the last year and a half with a matte screen and I pretty happy with it, although some recent kernels have had some issues now fixed). No USB-C and micro-HDMI is annoying (since you need a dongle), but otherwise it works well.
- scrollaway 9y agoAh yeah, USB-C... I've given up looking for non-macbook laptops with those until the next time I'm getting a laptop, which hopefully won't be for another 1-2 years.
- BlackLotus89 9y agoThe frigging ux305ua! Oh hell no I know what issue you are talking about since I had to bisect the kernel to find it. The bios had non standard vbt handling (to put it mildly) and the newer implementatiin which didn't have defaults set and relied on the hardware simply stopped booting. Also the keyboard backlight needed dsdt fixed or acpi parameter to work correctly and the touchpad kinda worked randomly (the keys). It was a great big hack to get everything working and even thought it's a light kinda nice looking laptop I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Additional disclaimer: everything seems to work fine with the newest kernel revision
- cozzyd 9y agoOh... well thanks for doing that! It was a minor inconvenience for me running with an older kernel for a bit. My keyboard doesn't have lighted keys and I've never had any issues with the touchpad, so I guess there must be some variance in those parts...
