  • Asus has put forth what is arguably one of the most impressive thin-and-light laptops to date. With specs to rival a gaming laptop and battery life that even outstretches most Chromebook, it will have a lot to prove in our full review. For now, though, th...

  • Abstract:  Microsoft was so bold as to describe the Surface Book as "the ultimate laptop", so we thought it's only fair to put it up against two of it most formidable rivals, the Asus ZenBook Pro and the Apple MacBook Pro. We'll be comparing Apple's 2015 MacBook Pr...

  • The Asu ZenBook Pro UX501 is a laptop that looks great on paper, if you're not turned off by its price. It has plenty of power, high-quality build and an ultra-high resolution screen matched with a touchscreen. And it can even play games. It's everything...

  • Powerful performance, up-to-date hardware, sharp screen
  • Reflective screen construction, mediocre battery life, impressive speakers, high-pitch CPU fan
  • Asus has updated the ZenBook UX501 for 2016 with a USB-C port and Intel's Skylake CPUs, getting you as up-to-date as you could hope while keeping the fancy aluminium construction of last year's original version. The issues surround the bits that ha...

  • Abstract:  The screen gives beautiful images, it's bright and provides wonderful sharpness clarity and colours. Despite a glossy screen, I find it comfortable to use outside. Good contrast on the keys without the backlight, and when using the keyboard in the dark, t...

  • great design and build quality; fast hardware; decent trackpad; large battery; excellent price
  • colorinaccurate and extremely glossy display; the keyboard and the speakers are a downgrade over the previous generation
  • The Zenbook UX501 gets the looks, the build quality, the hardware and especially the price to match (and outmatch) many of its rivals. It's only an incremental update of last year's NX500 though and while the more capable processor and graphics are welcom...

  • Quality chassis, Doesn't heat up much, Very slim, Matte display, Powerful CPU/GPU duo
  • Display could have been better calibrated, Shortish battery life (3 hrs 45 mins)
  • The Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 is an excellent 15" laptop, being both multifunctional and well-built. There are a few weak areas: the less-than-perfect screen calibration and the fairly short battery life—these two points seriously bring down its value-for-mo...

  • Bright, vibrant UHD display, Capacious, highly responsive storage, Stylish design
  • Feels heavy, at 5 pounds, Mediocre battery life, Unimpressive audio output
  • The stylish, 4K Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 has a design aesthetic and performance that rivals the Apple MacBook Pro for far less scratch. Just beware mediocre battery life, hefty disposition and some shoddy speakers...

  • Comes with everything a premium laptop needs, Fantastic 4K touchscreen for indoor use, Excellent performance for the money
  • Unimpressive touchpad, Poor screen visibility outdoors, Weak speakers with lackluster sound
  • The global marketplace is filled with hundreds of notebooks that try to beat Apple at its own game. While the ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501JW might look like just another one of those laptops, this is a genuinely likable alternative to the Apple MacBook Pro with...
