The Zenbook ships with a standard 19 volt power supply (which has the mini version of a Windows license sticker on it, I was temped to load Linux for my uncle but unfortunately he wasn't to keen on the idea...), a USB to ethernet converter, and convenient carry pouch.

While we received the Zenbook completely discharged we were up and running in no time (after finding the correct converter!)
The 1920 x 1080 resolution is definitely impressive! I was however at first concerned about white looking a bit to yellow for my liking... this however turned out to just be a gamma corrected profile which was enabled by default for the Intel graphics card and is easily toggled to a different profile.
We also compared the size difference between the Zenbook and Macbook Air (photo to the left and below). The Macbook Air remains a great device but the Zenbook managed to convince one of the most avid Apple fans I know to switch over to using the Zenbook instead....
Personally I still only own a normal i5 notebook as I'm not convinced that Ultrabooks are worth the it at their current retail price, although I'm sure they will become a future standard...
