Limited Edition Asus Zenbook UX305 in Crystal White is Now Available

Posted: 20 May 2015 12:22 PM PDT

Asus UX305

Slim, sexy, and limited

Our normal reaction to anything that says "limited edition" is to roll our eyes, as if making tens or hundreds of thousands of something truly qualifies as limited. Yeah, right. And that would have been our reaction to the Asus Zenbook UX305 in "crystal white," except that only 200 of these slim and sexy devices are up for grabs.

In that case, we're willing to accept the "limited edition" status, especially at the asking price of $999. At that price, we imagine they'll sell out quickly. Here's what you get in return:

  • 13.3-inch QHD+ IPS display (3200x1800)
  • Intel Core M 5Y71 processor / Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5300
  • 8GB of LPDDR3 1600MHz RAM
  • 512GB solid state drive
  • SDXC card reader
  • HD webcam
  • 802.11ac Wi-Fi; Bluetooth 4.0
  • 3 x USB 3.0; micro HDMI; microphone/headphone combo jack
  • Bang & Olufsen ICEpower audio
  • 45Whr battery
  • Windows 8.1

Not the most powerful laptop in the world, but certainly respectable. We also have to give Asus kudos for going with a 512GB SSD instead of a 256GB or 128GB model, or worse yet, mechanical storage -- eww!

This is a fanless system that uses "rare chromium copper alloy coils for advanced cooling." It measures 12.8 inches (W) by 8.9 inches (D) by 0.5 inches (H) and weighs 2.6 pounds.

If you want one, you have to order it direct from Asus. Alternatively, you can save a few hundred by going with a non-limited edition black model with half the storage space (256GB), Core M 5Y10 processor, and 802.11n Wi-Fi for $699, also available in the Asus Store.

Android and iOS App Developers Aren't Real Keen on Porting to Windows 10

Posted: 20 May 2015 09:01 AM PDT

Uphill battle

Several weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled a pair of SDKs intended to make it relatively easy for iOS and Android developers to port their apps over to Windows 10 (for mobile devices). Called Project Islandwood (iOS) and Project Astoria (Android), Microsoft envisioned its toolkits transforming Windows from an also-ran into the mobile space to a fleshed out platform, though the company may find itself in a standoff with iOS and Android developers who just aren't interested in porting apps over to a platform that doesn't have a lot of market share.

Windows Phone

Ironically, that's precisely the problem Microsoft is hoping to solve by offering up its toolkits. If iOS and Android developers port their apps over to Windows, it will flesh out the platform and, in theory, help boost its market share.

Be that as it may, only one out of more than a dozen app developers interviewed by Reuters has plans of porting an app over from Android or iOS to Windows. That app developer is King.com, maker of Candy Crush.

Though the sample size is too small to reach a definitive conclusion, it doesn't look all that promising. Eight of the developers Reuters spoke with said they aren't planning to develop for Windows 10 at all, though four that already have Windows apps said they will continue to release ones for the platform.

According to market research firm Gartner, Windows held a 2.8 percent of the global smartphone market in 2014, compared to Android at 80.7 percent and iOS at 15.4 percent.
