ASUS ZenBook UX430UA Ultrabook Review

James Morris October 16, 2017 Featured Tech News, Featured Tech Reviews, Notebook, Reviews

M.2 interface

To test the speeds of the 256GB SATA M.2 SSD that ships with the ZenBook, we ran CrystalDiskMark 5.2.1.

The UX430UA's SSD delivers decent speeds for a SATA SSD, but really we would have liked to see a NVMe SSD as these are not hideously expensive anymore and considerably quicker. The 256GB capacity is adequate, but 512GB is a more comfortable choice these days.

USB 3.0

The UX430UA has a single USB 3.0 port, into which we plugged a 32GB SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 thumb drive.

These results are reasonable for this thumb drive.

Grinding Gear Games still hopes to finish Path of Exile 2 in 2026, but it will be later than planned

Path of Exile 2 has been in early access for around a year at this stage, but we are still quite a long ways off from release. The next major update will bring the game up to Version 0.4, although Grinding Gear Games says it is going to do everything it can to ensure that Version 1.0 does not slip into 2027.

    It says USB 3.1, but the review doesn’t mention if it has thunderbolt 3? The Dell XPS it compares to does have Thunderbolt 3

    Nope, no Thunderbolt 3. It would have been in the specs if there was. But you do have a Micro HDMI, USB 3.1 Type C and adapter for full-sized HDMI.
