ASUS announced the ZenBook Pro 15 today, aiming to combine "pure, unadulterated power" with portability. The laptop includes Intel"s new 45W H-series processors, which are hexa-core, and the ZenBook goes up to a Core i9. It also includes an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 with 4GB GDDR5 in a body that"s just 18.9mm thick and weighs in at 1.86kg.
This type of a laptop is somewhat rare, and the only mainstream device that really competes with it is the new Dell XPS 15. For the most part, Intel"s H-series processors are found in gaming laptops and mobile workstations.
Along with a 15.6-inch 4K display with narrow bezels, there"s no shortage of ports. It comes with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, which each provide 40Gbps data transfer speeds. Off of a single Thunderbolt 3 port, a user could attach two 4K monitors or a single 5K monitor. There are also two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports, which each support data transfer of 10Gbps. You"ll also find HDMI, and a micro-SD card slot.
ASUS is promising up to 9.5 hours of battery life from the 71Wh battery, and the company says that you"ll be able to charge it to 60% in just 49 minutes.
The firm hasn"t announced pricing or availability yet, but that should be coming soon.
