Zenbook Pro halbeit slight dull, top-end Ultrabook that for the last few years has fallen behind Dell's XPS line.. I am expecting the 15-inch with i7, 16GB RAM and 512GB PCIe to come in under £1.9k and the 15-inch with the i9 to be about £2.2k.. FHD, colour screen is size on both laptops and works kind of like Nintendo DS secondary display. The Nanoedge display which in laymen terms means though smaller than latop's, the bigger than Infinity Edge seen on Dell's XPS line.. year or two this would not have bothered me, except having just finished testing XPS 15 Maglev, Zenbook's key switches felt slightly less reactive than I'd have liked... What's more impressive is that Asus is quoting it as having insane 2.0 Delta E and covering 132% of sRGB gamut and 100% of Adobe RGB favoured by artists.. To date, the only laptops I've tested to come close to matching these stats are Macbook Pro and XPS 15 2-in-1... As cherry on top differentiating the two is that the 15 is Zenbook Pro to feature built in fingerprint scanner.. The Zenbook 14 has lower specs, capping at Core i7 CPU, slimmed down GTX 1050 Max-Q GPU and the 16GB RAM. Add to this its top specced screen and Core i9 CPU option and I can see it becoming key to XPS 15 2-in-1 and Macbook Pro when it launches later this year...
