The Zenbook comes standard with a 500 GB, 5400 RPM 2.5" hard disk drive, in addition to 24 GB of onboard SSD storage.

Let's see how this hard drive measures up to other high profile Ultrabooks.

2012 Apple MacBook Air 13" ($1,099.99 - $1,199.99): 128 GB SSD

Dell Inspiron 14z ($899.99): 500 GB, 5400 RPM HDD and 32GB onboard SSD

Acer Aspire S5 ($1,279.00 - $1,399.99): 2x 128 GB SSD

No matter which way you spin it, a 5400 RPM HDD seems a bit out of place in a $1,300 laptop.
