New Product at IT Show 2019
ASUS ZenBook 14 (UX431) Laptop
ASUS ZenBook 14 (UX431) in Utopia Blue
The ZenBook 14 (UX431) balances value and performance to deliver a sleek, sophisticated ultraportable that does not compromise on power. This premium laptop is packed full of the latest technology that includes an 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processors, 8GB of RAM, 512 M.2 PCIe SSD storage space and the latest connectivity options. The ZenBook 14 (UX431) will be retailing at $1,398 from 9th March at IT Show 2019.
Unleash Your Creative Vision
The ZenBook 14 (UX431) exudes sophistication without screaming for attention. Its Utopia Blue colour and spun-metal finish are decidedly chic while still being distinctly Zen. Lifting the lid reveals a 14-inch Full HD (1920×1080) IPS NanoEdge display that offers great viewing angles and uniform colour, whether the user is sitting square in front of it at work, or lounging to one side watching video.
For a more immersive experience, the NanoEdge display technology shrinks the bezels on either side down to just 6.5mm while also cutting down on the laptop’s overall size. Thanks to the narrow bezels, ASUS engineers were able to squeeze the 14-inch screen into a compact 13-inch chassis. Portability is about size as much as weight, though, and the ZenBook 14 (UX431) weighs just under 1.39kg, making it easy for users to slip it into their bags or tuck under arm and carry anywhere.
Despite its good looks, the ZenBook 14 (UX431) prioritises function alongside form, with some thoughtful tweaks to ensure the design serves more than just aesthetics. The ErgoLift hinge automatically tilts the keyboard up at an angle when the lid is opened, creating a more comfortable typing position while improving airflow under the chassis for better cooling.
Quad-speaker Audio System
Users will want to share the audio experience because the ZenBook 14 (UX431) boasts a total of four speakers. In addition to the pair of upward firing speakers flanking the keyboard, there are two more bass speakers on the underside of the laptop, and the extra space created by the ErgoLift hinge results in clearer bass.
The quad-speaker system provides truly immersive sound, with a 1.4X-higher frequency response compared to its predecessor, the ZenBook 14 (UX430). Powered by a smart amplifier, the Harman Kardon-certified setup employs advanced signal processing to deliver a wider frequency response and powerful bass for especially crisp sound.
Mobility without Bounds
The ZenBook 14 (UX431) features I/O ports befitting a flexible workhorse. There is one USB 2.0 Type-A port for a mouse, and the USB 3.1 Type-A and Type-C™ ports readily accommodate external storage, flash drives, printers, and other peripherals. Users can connect to a second monitor via HDMI, and the SD card slot accepts memory cards without the need for a USB adapter. There is also a 1.8mm audio combo jack for headphones. It features a 2×2 802.11ac Wi-Fi configuration, so users can move huge files to and from the cloud in record time or stream video without a hitch.
ASUS VivoBook 14 (X412) Laptop
ASUS VivoBook 14 (X412) in Slate Grey
The VivoBook 14 (X412) features frameless four-sided NanoEdge displays with an 87% screen-to-body ratio for immersive viewing. The incredibly slim bezel allows a large display to fit into a smaller chassis, effectively reducing the laptop footprint for a more compact and portable machine. It is powered by an 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor with the latest NVIDIA® GeForce® MX230 discrete graphics, and include the ErgoLift hinge that tilts the keyboard to replicate the feel of a desktop keyboard for a more comfortable typing experience. The VivoBook 14 (X412) will be available at $999 at IT Show 2019.
Designed with Comfort in Mind
The VivoBook 14 (X412) features fingerprint sensor built into the touchpad provides one-touch access with Windows Hello, so logging in has never been easier or more secure. There is also a full-size backlit keyboard that is perfect for working in dim environments. It has a sturdy one-piece construction and 1.3mm key travel for comfortable typing.
The ErgoLift hinge on the VivoBook 14 (X412) provides more comfort during long typing stints. Its unique design automatically tilts the keyboard when the laptop is opened, creating the familiar feel of a desktop keyboard.
Comprehensive connectivity is provided by an array of ports including USB Type-C™ (USB-C™), USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A, and USB 2.0, HDMI output, and a microSD card reader for hassle-free compatibility with current peripherals, displays, and projectors.
