It is so thin that people mistake it for a Macbook Air and it is exceptionally light for the power it packs. It is amazingly quick, thanks to its SSD. The chiclet keyboard is backlit as well, if you care about that. The battery lasts literally forever...about six hours of constant use, and when in idle, you won't have to charge for several days. Finally, and the best spec in my opinion, is the fact that it has an IPS 1080p panel, which is exceptionally rare and amazing on a laptop of its size.
Some cons include the smaller screen size (11.6" I believe) and the fact that you can't really upgrade anything on it aside from the SSD (my brother told me that the RAM was soldered in). Can't really do much with the upgrading and the smaller screen size helps with the portability factor.

that all sounded so perfect until you said 11 inch screen...lol
I'll have to see it in person at a store. 1080p is really good for these ultrabooks, just wish that one was 13inches

It is avail in 13 as well for an extra $200 if I am not mistaking. There may be some other benefits than just screen size for the $200.

Also I believe it can run 1 screen from the VGA while running a screen from the DP

Asus really is the best of the best not counting Sony which I def do not count since it costs 2x as much.

Thanks everybody for the information! Went to microcenter today and bought a 13 inch zenbook.

13 inch IPS 1080P
4Gig 1333 ram
I5 ivy bridge (forgot actual model)
128 gig ssd

Packaging was really really nice for this. Haven't gotten a chance to start using it yet, but it really is a NICE looking device.
