Asus has
just unveiled a pair of new laptops with the ZenBook UX430 and ZenBook UX530,
both of which pack the power of discrete graphics into a thin frame.
ASUS is calling these the "thinnest-ever
ZenBook models to feature high-performance discrete graphics." The UX430 comes in at 15.9mm while the UX530 is slightly
thicker at 16.9mm. Thickness aside, the UX430 features a 14-inch 1080p display
in 13-inch chassis, Intel's 7th-generation Kaby Lake i7 processor, up to 16GB
or RAM and a GeForce 940MX graphics chip. Meanwhile, the UX530 features the
same hardware, but with a 15.6-inch display and GeForce GTX 950 graphics.
As for ports, you're looking at a smattering of what
you'd expect to see from a current-gen laptop. Included are USB Type-C, USB
Type-A 3.1, URB Type-A 2.0, Micro HDMI, headphone and SD Card slots. The ports
are the same across both laptops, with the exception of one extra USB 3.1 port
being present on the UX530. As for colors, the UX530 and UX430 both come in
Royal Blue or Quartz Grey, with the 430 also offering Rose Gold and Shimmer
Gold options.
There's no pricing information available on these
just yet, but ASUS does mention that they should become available in the UK at
some point in Q2.
