ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X OLED (UX7602BZ)
The new laptop features a unique Intel processor with the latest ASUS Supernova System-on-Module (SoM) Design. This module packaging technique reduces the size of the motherboard by 38%, which leaves more room for the GPU power components and improves the overall cooling efficiency of the system.
It also uses low-loss substrate-like materials and places the CPU and memory close together on the circuit board, which allows the memory to reach a high frequency of 7500 MHz. The laptop also uses a liquid metal thermal compound, which reduces the temperature by 7°C in high performance mode and allows for a total TDP of up to 155 W.
The laptop is equipped with 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13905H processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series Laptop GPU,and 32GB of fast LPDDR5X DRAM. ASUS claims it offers 1.4X faster video editing and up to an astounding 8.9X faster 3D rendering times compared to the previous model.
This laptop has a 16:10 3.2K 120Hz OLED HDR NanoEdge touchscreen. The Active Aerodynamic System Ultra (AAS Ultra) mechanism powers the auto-tilting keyboard that ensures a comfortable typing angle, and it also enhances system cooling for maximum performance.
Additionally, the ASUS Dial allows precise fingertip control of creative parameters in Adobe and most other apps, while the larger ASUS NumberPad features haptic feedback and enhanced pressure sensitivity for easier number entry.
ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 OLED (UX6404) and Zenbook 14X OLED (UX3404)
The Zenbook Pro 14 OLED weighs just 1.65 kg and measures less than 1.8cm thick, with a 2.8K 120 Hz OLED NanoEdge Dolby Vision display, Pantone Validated for colour accuracy and has a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 gamut.
It’s powered by up to the latest 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900H processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series Laptop GPU, matched with 16GB of DDR5 RAM, a slot that will take up to a 32GB SO-DIMM, and a 2TB SSD. It also packs the latest WiFi 6E technology, which is boosted even further by ASUS WiFi Master Premium.
It also has the ASUS DialPad for intuitive app control, ASUS Pen 2.0 support, along with a full set of I/O ports. Furthermore, there’s a long-lasting high-capacity 76Wh battery inside the laptop.
The Zenbook 14X OLED comes in two colours: Sandstone Beige and Inkwell Gray. The Sandstone Beige version has a lid made from a new eco-friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating technique that creates aceramic-like finish and stone-like feel.
Inside the laptop,there’s up to the latest 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900H processor,studio-grade NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics,32 GB of fast LPDDR5 memory,and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. There’s also a bigger 14.5-inch 16:10 2.8K 120 Hz OLED HDR NanoEdge display and a longer-lasting 70Wh battery.
