The screen on the Asus is much better. Will 4GB of RAM be enough? Will 128GB of storage be enough? These are really only questions you can answer.

If the UX305 is a bit subpar for your tastes, you may wish to look at the UX303. It's a little heavier, but that makes it about the same weight as the MBA.
