[Computex 2017] If you don’t really fancy the idea of having to connect an external GPU to your laptop for the added power like with the recently announced ASUS ZenBook 3 Deluxe, not to worry as ASUS has the answer for you in the form of the ASUS ZenBook Pro which comes with a discrete GPU.
The laptop will be powered by an Intel Core i7 H-series CPU, come with 1TB of SSD storage, up to 16GB of RAM, 2x Thunderbolt 3 ports, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU. We’re also looking at a 15.6-inch NanoEdge 4K UHD display, 100% sRGB, and an 83% screen to body ratio.
Despite all that power crammed into the laptop, ASUS is claiming that the ZenBook Pro will be able to run for up to 14 hours (your mileage may vary), and it also sports fast charging technology that will allow it to charge from 0 to 60% in just 49 minutes. It also sports a quad-speaker setup, Harman-Kardon certified audio technology, and weighs 1.8kg, 18.9mm thin, which ASUS is claiming to be the thinnest ZenBook Pro ever.
In terms of pricing it is slightly higher than the ZenBook 3 Deluxe at $1,299, so whether or not the extra $100 for the extra specs/features is worth it is up to you.
