ZenBook Pro UX580G Review

The ZenBook Pro line is discrete from the ZenBook line (which incorporates the S13 and 14), and is revolved around one particular element: a touchpad that doubles as a second, miniature display.

Design

Past the profoundly unique touchpad, tended to beneath, the Zenbook Pro has a recognizable structure. Its intensely scooped, adjusted edges give it a systematic look. Its aluminum skeleton feels intense. Also, its painted completely in dark, with a brushed metal surface giving it a trace of advancement. The 15.6-inch touchscreen offers a 3,840 by 2,160-pixels goals and gives you a lot of space to play, and the console is solid and agreeable. The Zenbook Pro doesn't awe with regards to measure, however — it tips the scales at 4.4 pounds and is 23 millimeters thick.

Features

The touchpad is by a wide margin the Zenbook Pro's most one of a kind component. In fact known as the ScreenPad, it's really a little touchscreen LCD. Draw down a modest bar at the top, and you access a few symbols that fill in as alternate ways to regular undertakings — seeing your schedule, playing music, and so forth. This menu is adaptable, and Asus right now offers nine choices. By hauling windows down and off the principle show, you can utilize the ScreenPad as extra screen space, however it doesn't offer significantly more. Generally speaking, the ScreenPad is a perfect gathering trap, yet it's not so valuable, and the affectability of the touchpad unquestionably endures. Different highlights of note incorporate a unique mark peruser and Pantone-approved shading exactness on the pleasantly splendid and fresh presentation.

Specifications

A 2.9 GHz Core i9-8950HK CPU – a standout amongst the best processors in the new, ninth-age Core i9 arrangement – 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD all give the ZenBook Pro great capacities, and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti GPU includes good illustrations execution, as well. Port choice is solid: two full-measure USB 3.1 ports, two USB-C ports, a microSD card opening and a full-estimate HDMI yield. A buy likewise incorporates a USB to Ethernet converter. The framework just charges through its devoted power jack, not a USB-C port.

Performance

The Zenbook Pro's PC Mark 10 score (which considers assignments like page rendering, business efficiency applications and computerized media creation work) is better than expected, however not pivotal contrasted with a framework like the Scar II. Designs execution was normal, and one of my video-driven benchmarks, Superposition, wouldn't keep running on the framework by any stretch of the imagination.

Battery

With only four hours and 13 minutes of battery life on a full screen video playback test, the Zenbook Pro's battery is poor, likely on account of every one of those eager for power segments and the 4K goals presentation.

Conclusion

PC costs can change incredibly relying upon design, retailer, season and different elements, yet costs for the Zenbook Pro are especially conflicting. The unit I tried expense around $1,750, which I think about high, in spite of the imaginative touchpad and top of the line execution parts. On the off chance that the ScreenPad doesn't get you, I don't see the solid execution, burdened by constrained battery life, as worth the cash.
