Asus has released a serious competitor to Apple's MacBook Air, which has been the ultraslim laptop to beat in the mobile computing world. The Asus UX21 is the world's first Ultrabook (click here for more information) and has broken many new grounds in terms of design, features and performance. We met up with Asus' product manager at the company's Computex booth to bring you this quick hands-on.

This 11.6-inch model on display has a sleek 3mm to 17mm side profile and weighs just 1.1kg, while a 13.3-inch version will also be available at launch, estimated to be as early as October. The UX21 is also the first laptop in the market to feature higher-speed SATA 3 solid-state drive, which is fully integrated onto the circuit board to keep the machine slimmer. It has a special trackpad coated with a glass surface, too.

The left side of the UX21 offers a proprietary VGA socket (requires adapter such as Asus N45 AC adapter, Asus U36 AC adapter, Asus U56 AC adapter, Asus Eee PC 1016 AC adapter, Asus Eee PC 1215 AC adapter, Asus Pro23 X23 AC adapter, Asus W90 AC adapter, Asus M50 AC adapter, Asus Pro78 AC adapter, Asus A52 AC adapter, Asus A2 AC adapter, Asus N90 AC adapter), USB2.0 port and earphone jack. Not shown, further to the right, is a narrow grille for its side speaker. Sound is also projected from the edges of the keyboard according to the spokesperson.

On the right is a micro-HDMI output, a USB 3.0 port and power jack. There's also a speaker grille on the left not pictured above. Check out the cool brushed metal finishing clearly visible here, too.

The sentence reads "UX21 series ultra slim" and is printed on a perforated strip with a metallic Asus logo above it.

The special "spin pattern" on the cover is inspired by the grooves of vinyl records, while the machine has a unibody chassis pressed from a single piece of aluminum.

Even the metallic bottom is adequately styled with contoured edges and little details including a unique serial number for each machine. The battery is integrated within the chassis and offers around 5-hour battery life even for more power-hungry Core i7 CPUs.
