Since years, the Apple MacBook Pro has been the go-to laptop for professionals who do not want to be tied to their desks while doing their work, but its dominance is now being challenged by the new Asus ZenBook Pro UX501. This device ships with a 4K display and runs on top of the line specs.
Echoing the traditional design standards of its maker, the Asus ZenBook Pro UX501’s body happens to be quite sleek as well. Its top model will provide you with the benefits of a 15.6-inch 3840 x 2160 pixel IPS display with 178-degree viewing angles. If you’re not all for extreme resolutions, you can even opt for a variant offering traditional 1080p full HD visuals.
Its Pro tag guarantees top-end internal hardware that will ensure that professionals can easily perform all their editing, sound designing, color grading and what not on the new Asus laptop. Infused with Windows 8.1, it can be purchased with a 2.6GHz quad core Intel Core i7 processor and either 2GB or 4GB worth of Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M graphical power.

A maximum of 16GB of RAM can be applied to the hardware, whereas storage can be configured with a 128GB or 256GB solid-state drive, a 1TB hard drive or a 512GB PCIe flash-based drive. The powerful ZenBook Pro UX501 ships with a trio of USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, a mini DisplayPort, an SDXC card reader, a Thunderbolt port and an HD webcam. For wireless connectivity, it depends upon 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
The Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 has started selling in the US with a starting price of $1799, which translates into around Rs 113900. There’s no word on when it will arrive in India though.
