An Asus Zenbook with GeForce GTX 950 graphics? – Yes please! Now I can ditch my Dell XPS13.
ASUS has just expanded its offering of laptops with a pair of ZenBook slim and lightweight notebooks. Dubbed the UX430 and UX530, both models come equipped with GeForce 940MX or 950MX and ASUS claims they are the thinnest ZenBooks it has ever released with a discrete GPU, measuring 15.9mm and 16.9mm, respectively.
Not all specs are available, but both models will be using Intel U-series i3, i5, or i7 CPUs, up to 16 GB of RAM, and ASUS is claiming that its 50Wh battery will provide up to 9 hours of battery life.
There’s no pricing information available, but ASUS does mention that they should become available in the second quarter of 2017.
