Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 Laptops for 4K Screen
The new laptop for the professional by Asus focuses on the technical specifications of the first order, starting with a 15.6 inches screen that is betting everything on a video resolution extreme to say the least.
The Asus ZenBook Pro UX501, model compared with a 15.6-inch diagonal display and components especially powerful manages to maintain an overall thickness content. A surprise the display, which compared with a 15.6-inch diagonal has a resolution of 4K (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) combining all at IPS technology. This option ensures an extremely high density, but you can get the laptop in conjunction with a panel of the identical diagonal with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels.
In front of a screen of this type Asus has chosen to integrate a discrete GPU in this laptop: This is the model NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, combined with a budget of video memory from 2 to 4 GB. Although in this way we think it unlikely that the processing power is sufficient to ensure, at 4K resolution, frames per second with adequate latest games but reducing the latter to 1,920 x 1,080 you get a balanced system even in the field of gaming.
The Intel Core i7-4720HQ has quad-core architecture, clock frequency of 2.6 GHz and default peak of 3.6 GHz for a maximum TDP of up to 47 Watts. These specifications make this model a CPU capable of ensuring high speed performance with programs of personal productivity also very complex. Other features include up to 16 GB of system memory and a storage subsystem that sees the combination of an SSD up to 256 GB of capacity with a mechanical hard drive from 1 TB for data-storage bulkier.
To close a 6-cell battery, with a capacity of 96 whrs that should be able to ensure adequate autonomy away from the outlet. Everything to 2 Kg of weight and dimensions that go up to a maximum of 21.3 mm thickness. Lacking at present specific information on the price of this product, while for the market positioning of the technical features and design closely resemble those of the Apple MacBook Pro range.
