Can't you get the UX in a configuration with a better CPU?

No. The next CPU up (i5) is in a larger case; 3.2 lbs vs. 2.6 lbs, and a bit thicker, but with same 13.3" screen. It's still smaller than my old i3 (and a bit lighter). If I went with this next-up case, I'd probably go to the i7 version, which is in the same case with the same weight as the i5. OTOH, I'd value the m3's smaller size more highly than the higher processing power, if the processing power in the smaller size is "adequate". Based on what I've seen so far, the m3 is probably better than my old i3 for PS, and that's my baseline for 'adequate'.
P.S. there is an i5 version of the UX305, but it pre-dates Win 10. I don't want to buy a new laptop with a "free upgrade" to Win 10.
P.P.S. I found an online review of a UX305LA with i7 processor, but when it comes to ordering one, it's vapourware.
