ASUS Launches Intel-Based ZenBook 13 and 14 in PH, Priced
ASUS has launched its newest Intel-Based premium productivity laptops in the Philippines – ZenBook 13 and 14. Both are aimed at “optimized performers” who demand performance and portability in a stylish and elegant package.
At just 13.9mm, ASUS ZenBook 13 (UX325) and 14 (UX425) are the world’s thinnest 13″ and 14″ laptops with a full suite of I/O ports. ZenBook 13 in particular weighs just 1.07kg.
Both boast a four-sided NanoEdge display with slim bezels for up to 90% screen-to-body ratio. An optional low-power 1-watt display delivers an incredible 450 nits of brightness while maximizing battery life.
The ErgoLift Hinge combined with the edge-to-edge keyboard design offers a comfortable and natural typing experience.
The extra real estate also provides room for an extra set of function keys at the right-hand side.
For quick numerical inputs, the ZenBook 13 and 14 are also equipped with the new ASUS NumberPad 2.0 which turns the touchpad into an illuminated full-size numeric keypad.
An integrated IR camera located on the top bezel allows for password-free and fast face login with Windows Hello. It also works well in dim lighting conditions.
Superb Performance
ASUS ZenBook 13 and 14 are powered by a 10th Generation Intel Core i5 processor along with 8GB of high-speed RAM to help users blitz through daily tasks. For storage, you get a fast 512GB PCIe 3.0 x2 SSD.
Both are equipped with WiFi 6 (802.11ax) so users can enjoy speeds up to 3X faster than WiFi 5, with 4X more network capacity and up to 75% less latency.
For ports, there’s an HDMI port, a USB Type-A port, a microSD card reader, and of course, two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports that let users connect up two 4K UHD monitors to extend the workspace, along with up to 40Gbps data speeds for ultrafast file transfers.
ASUS ZenBook 13 and 14 support the new ASUS USB-C Easy Charge feature, which allows the laptop to be charged using a wide range of standard USB-C chargers. It also lets users enjoy ultrafast charging with any USB-C Power Delivery-certified charger, such as the 65W charger bundled with the unit.
