ASUS UX534FTC-AS77 ZenBook 15 Laptop review
5.0 out of 5 stars A versatile 4K powerhouse
Asus really did it this time with this brand new ASUS ZENBOOK 15 4K edition comes with dedicated graphics GTX 1650 Nvidia.
15.6 inch UHD + 178 WideView Nano edge display (4096X2160) So picture quality is really good and colors are vibrant. I believe screen NITS brightness is 330 to 350 but honestly description doesn't say and no reviews out yet for this high end model of the Zenbook 15.
Performance is outstanding it's a multitasking power house honestly. The 10th gen I7-1051OU handles tasks like it's nothing. I could be watching youtube than at the same time pull up an excel spreadsheet file and power point all on one screen than jump into adobe pro and render a photo or video. It is literally night and day compared to my old Coffee lake MSI. These 10th gens run relatively cool so this laptop under heavy load can get hot like 92 degrees HOT ! However at 3.2 ghtz the CPU backs down on these Comet lakes to a cooler temp around 2.6 to 2.8 ghtz. It really is something you need to see for yourself.
Hows gaming? actually very good utilizing the GTX 1650 Nvidia Graphics card for lighter titles you can edasily get away with 38 to 65 FPS on high settings FHD. In Children of Morta I was playing full 4K 60 FPS. Trials of Mana 4K was around 38 to 42 FPS FULL UHD of course you will need to be plugged into ASUS 120 watt power adapter don't expect to see these results on battery lol.
Now lets discuss screen pad 2.0 ya know the mouse pad with 5.8 inch touch screen?
Ok this is a hit or miss here you either really like it or you don't. For me personally I don't use it I believe after some software tweaks and updates from ASUS the pad may be more useable but as for now No I really dont see the need for it.
I watched netflix on it the other day while working on my excel SS for work so that was kind of cool I guess. But besides the calculator I don't really see a definitive use for it. Its basically like a show your friends type technology.
The top 5 best PARTS about this new 10th Gen ASUS ZENBOOK 4K edition has to be well
#1 The 4K IPS screen.
#2 The Comet lake 10th Gen I7-1051OU 4 core 8 thread processor
#3 The Nvidia GTX 1650 discreet graphics card.
#4 the keyboard very easy to type on I happen to like and use everyday the number pad I for one am glad it's there. The back lighting is just ok to me not very bright and some keys I notice do not light up at all. High brightness on the keyboard is just weird to me. I think ASUS should have taken a different approach to this keyboard lighting entirely but hey it gets the job done.
#5 How thin and light the LAPTOP is to carry around really this thing is light like 4.2 pounds for a 15 inch laptop wow that is amazing.
So in conclusion do I recommend this laptop?
yes absolutely I do however I would save your money and if you want 4K it will cost you round $200 more for the blue and gold edition just get the silver icy lake like I did and instead of $1399 you pay $1199 ha ha your choice but I think the Icy lake silver IMO is the way to go and plus will save you some money.
Bottom Line: If you want a fast performing multitasking laptop with some light to medium gaming on the side than this is the laptop for you.
On a side note before making this purchase for the Zenbook 15 I did look and research the ASUS G14 laptop with the AMD 4900HS in it and the HEAT?? is what helped me make my decision to buy this one. The thermals were way to high for my comfort. Hope this review helps in your purchase decision for this Ultrabook high performance Laptop.
I didn't care about the 4K UHD screen until I saw it. Wow.
[user for ~1 month] I bought this laptop to replace my previous machine, an Asus ZenBook from 2013. Of course, any upgrade from seven years ago is going to feel like a big leap forward. Still, I was anxious; there were lots of little aesthetic things I loved about my old ZenBook -- the large keyboard with a numberpad, the matte screen, the slim dimensions -- and I didn't want to lose them. After spending a ton of time researching new machines, I decided to stick with Asus in an effort to retain some of the less-quantifiable qualities that I fell in love with on my last ZenBook. In short, that was definitely the correct move.
BEST FEATURES
- 4K UHD Screen. To be honest, I didn't know what this was (like I said, I was running a machine from 2013). I've never cared much for fancy screens when it came to phones or TVs, so I didn't think I would care about this, either. But straight out of the box, this screen is gorgeous. Everything is just so much clearer. You go back to looking at another screen, and you can't help thinking, "How did I ever look at THAT?" It makes everything you do on the computer much more pleasant to see. (Note: It's glossy, not matte, which I thought would bother me, coming from a matte screen. Indoors, I hardly notice, and the incredible 4K display makes it feel worth it. Outdoors, though -- yeah. You can't see anything in direct sunlight.)
- SSD speed. Task manager says the SSD is a Samsung MZVLQ512HALU-00000, and it's really freaking fast. (Note: I was a little anxious that 512GB might not be big enough, so I bough an external 512GB drive, and that's definitely the move. With the fast USB-C connection, and the tiny size (and light weight) of external SSDs, it's easy to pop one in and double your storage capacity whenever you need it.)
- Weight. This is lighter than I realized; I can comfortable carry it around in one hand supporting the base, screen open, while walking from room to room. It's no feather, but I it came in under what I anticipated.
- Screenpad. It's obviously a gimmick. I hardly use it. But it's still really cool. And I have found a use for it in watching software tutorial videos; you can put the video on the screenpad while you follow along full-screen in the software environment.
WORST FEATURES
- No Ethernet port. I knew that going in, although I was hoping it would come with an adapter (it didn't; I bought one). It's a shame, but not a deal-breaker.
- Adapter/charger. This is actually better than the one that came standard with my last ZenBook, so thanks, Asus, for stepping up your game -- but it's still inferior to off-market adapters, simply in that the cables are too short. Give us longer cables, so we don't need to sit near an outlet! (Fortunately, these are easy to buy.)
- Color choices. Don't get me wrong, the machine is pretty. Still, the rose-gold is -- an odd accent choice. I probably would've preferred straight silver. And more seriously, the keyboard keys don't have enough contrast in color between the letters themselves and the key. The keys are a light silver, the writing is also silver -- or transparent? The backlight shines through beautifully, so that's great, but in normal lighting, these colors are very close, and harder to see. You'll just have to get close to your keyboard, or type without looking.
- Power button. The power button is a keyboard button, sitting in the number pad region of the screen. That seems like a bad idea. I haven't accidentally hit it yet, but it's coming.
- Slimmed down number pad. It's awesome that they managed to pack a 15.6" screen into a smaller chassis, largely by minimizing the space between the screen and the edge of the laptop. But that means a smaller keyboard. This laptop offers a number pad, but they made sacrifices -- so there's no dedicate home, end, pageup, or pagedown keys. I never realized how often I use them to skip along lines of text, until they were gone. You can get at some of these strokes with with SHIFT+NUMPAD combinations, but there are limitations. Also, those up/down arrows are tiny (though that hasn't bothered me, yet).
- Numlock. The key doesn't have an indicator light. This makes zero sense. Asus managed to put indicator lights on caps lock, power, and their freaking "fn" key. It would've take two seconds to add a light to the numlock. I think they just forgot? So now I never know when it's off/on.
OTHER NOTES
- Sound is fine (stronger than my last machine).
- USB-C + 2xUSB is more than enough ports.
- The F12 "Asus" button is silly. Bring back the FN airplane mode toggle.
Overall, I love the machine. It's a big step up from those of us living in 2013, and it's surprisingly light and fast (as long as, like, you know you're not buying a Chromebook). But mostly, have I mentioned the screen?
