New Asus ZenBooks for 2015 include the ZenBook Pro UX501, which still has the slim aluminum chassis with spun-metal finish. As an Ultrabook, it only measures 20.6 mm thin.
For the premium effect, highlights of its design include brushed metal surfaces and diamond-cut chamfers on the edges and the keyboard surround is enhanced with a stylish laser-engraved ripple-effect pattern.
The ZenBook Pro UX501 has a 15.6-inch VisualMaster multi-touch display with a pin-sharp 4K/UHD 3860 x 2160 resolution — four times higher than Full HD — and an incredible pixel density of 282PPI for stunningly-detailed and lifelike images.
IPS technology with wide 178-degree viewing angles ensures that colors and contrast are not degraded from any viewing position.
It also has high-performance components including a powerful quad-core 6th generation Intel Core processor, gaming-grade NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4GB DDR5 graphics and the world’s fastest 256GB PCI Express (PCIe®) x4 SSD.
Battery life for this Ultrabook is more than six hours from its high-capacity 96Wh lithium-polymer battery.
Another ZenBook, the lower-priced version with similar design and form factor, was also launched.
The ZenBook UX305LA is a 13.3-inch Full HH laptop that measures just 12.3mm thin.
The new Ultrabook already features 6th generation Intel Core i5 processor for seamless multitasking, and features a lightning-fast up to 512GB solid-state drive (SSD). The crisp, vibrant and stunningly-detailed 13.3-inch display has an up to FHD resolution of 1920×1080 pixels.
The ZenBook UX305 is available in a sophisticated new Gold color with ZenBook’s signature spun-metal finish, or a silky-smooth Ceramic Alloy shade.
New Asus K Series Laptops
Though in the category of affordable laptops, the ASUS K555LB already features solid build quality and aluminum design with crafted lines for a premium feel.
The laptop has brushed-aluminum top cover finished in black and also a sandblasted palm-rest.
The ASUS K555LB is powered by 6th generation Intel Core i7 processor for fast and responsive multi-tasking computing; and can be specked with up to NVIDIA GeForce GT 940M graphics with Microsoft DirectX 11 for fast and fluid gaming visuals and movie playback as well. It also features a 15-inch LED-backlit, 4k QHD panel.
Asus proprietary innovations found in the ASUS K555LB include the ASUS IceCool technology, a unique internal component layout to address palm-rest heating issues. This keeps palm-rest surface temperatures between 28 and 35 degrees Celsius, significantly lower than body temperature so users stay cool and comfortable.
The 15-inch K555LB also has an exclusive dual cooling system design — an intelligent thermal solution that is both efficient and silent, ensuring users enjoy a comfortable computing environment.
Asus also launched a new X Series, which include the new value-packed with all the essentials X555UB.
Whether you are using it for work or for fun, this is an ideal machine for both productive computing and entertainment. It features the 6th generation Intel Core i7 processor and GT940 graphics card, instant on that resumes your computer from sleep mode in 2 seconds and USB 3.0 for 10 times faster data transfer speed.
Like other notebooks in the ASUS range, the X555UB comes equipped with SonicMaster technology and ASUS AudioWizard to bring you high fidelity audio. Experience omnidirectional sound and hear each individual instrument’s nuances with the X555UB.
