Asus Zenbook UX305CA Specs, laptop with QHD+ touchscreen for 699

The UX305 series from Asus consists of entry level ultrabooks. These laptops are thin and light but miss some key business features like backlit keyboards. The newest entrant in the US market is the Asus Zenbook UX305CA that features a quad HD+ screen for 699 dollars. To make the deal even sweeter, you will be getting a 50 dollars Windows Store gift card in the package too.
