The ASUS Zenbook Prime UX32VD combines the best Ultrabook display with Nvidia graphics for extra gaming muscle.

3.5 stars
(3.5 out of 5)

You can’t blame ASUS for wanting to diversify its Ultrabook lineup. Not when it has an awesome full HD screen that’s even better than the MacBook Air’s. For the UX32VD, ASUS added discrete Nvidia graphics to this glorious display. Yes, this a 3.2-pound laptop that can game. ASUS did trade the full-fledged SSD on the UX31A for a 500GB hard drive and 24GB SSD combo to keep the price reasonable. How reasonable? Try $1,299, which is only $100 more than the Air. Find out if this ambitious ultraportable has the oomph you need.
