    Pros: Amazing screen quality
    Increased speed of Sandisk SSD from a 5.9 windows experience in the UX31E to a 7.5 on this new UX31A
    Keyboard is much better and back light nicely
    No more sound distortion at high levels
    Trackpad is Elan and works fine

    Cons: Small amount of light bleeding when completely dark
    Slower bootup time
    Battery life doesn't seem as good
    Does not seem to trickle charge while constantly plugged in
    Space is an issue on this model. Around 65GB out box
    The sound is flat and lifeless

    Summary: Overall this is a good computer. I am trying to decide if I will return this one for another because of the light bleeding, but I am not sure due to the fact that it doesn't bother me that much. In addition, I have seen reviews of people returning the item, only to get a worse bleed.

    I know this review was a while back, but I just purchased the black version of this laptop from best buy and see that it has the Sandisk SSD and not the Adata SSD in it. Did you get the Sandisk SSD with your UX31A that gave the score of 7.4 or was that the Adata (Sanforce) SSD?
