reporting back after long last.
I had bought the Zenbook ux330ua and was wanting to run Windows 7 and
Linux on it. it has been returned to the seller.
Linux ran rather smoothly on it.
I couldn't get Windows 7 to see past some kind of uefi limitation.
secure-boot was turned off and the 'legacy boot' utility csm was on
but I got an error about failing 'acpi compliance' which I could not
overcome.
I did run Windows 7 in a VM for a while but I'd rather be able to boot
to Windows directly. I realized I couldn't stand the thought of
running Windows 10 - I'm unhappy about the forced update policy among
other things.
I also didn't like the fact the unit had two regular-size usb and one
micro. the ux305f I had bought previously has three regulars.
I haven't yet experimented with 'booting' a Windows partition on
the hard-drive into a VM.

against my better instincts I decided to try the Zenbook. will attempt a dual
install.
we'll see.

could install Linux, and run Windoze in Virtualbox.
it's got an i7 and 8gb ram. never really fooled with VB.
oh well. love is a sometime thing.
