For some years, PC manufacturers have been competing to make a Windows notebook that is better-looking and more useful than a MacBook Air. One of the clear contenders has been ASUS with its ZenBooks. Each generation has provided tempting design, lightness and features, with the UX390UA coming it at under a kilogram. The UX430UA, being a 14in model, isn't quite that featherweight, but it still has plenty to entice.

The ASUS ZenBook UX430UA looks as great as previous models, with a brushed metal-look to the lid and (in the case of our sample), a stylish contrast between the dark blue of the chassis and black keyboard. But the internals are a pretty standard configuration for an ultrabook in this class. There's an Intel Core i7 7500U, 8GB of DDR4 memory, integrated Intel graphics, and a 256GB SSD.

This makes it very similar to the Dell XPS 13. But the price at time of writing was also quite a bit lower than the XPS 13. Could this be the perfect 14in portable?
