A selection of our usual application suspects have been called in for testing the ASUS ZenBook UX430UA, with a small range of comparison systems. These include the smaller, thinner ZenBook 3 UX390UA, and the Dell XPS 13 9360, which is one of the best ultraportables currently on the market.
The HP Envy x360 15 is included as an example of a highly portable notebook with discrete graphics, to show the difference between this and integrated graphics.
