Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 Review and Price in india

The Asus ZenBook Pro UX501 is the latest expansion to the organization's premium tablet lineup, and was dispatched in India a couple of months prior. With a road value set of Rs. 1,15,999, we're inching into MacBook Pro region. Macintosh's putting forth is normally one of the first decisions that springs to mind when one thinks about a premium tablet, so Asus has its work removed regarding getting mindshare at this value section.

We got the UX501JW-FJ221H model for survey, which is the one that is right now being sold on the web. The ZenBook Pro guarantees a lavish ordeal and top of the line execution. How about we perceive how well this deciphers in this present reality.

Look and feel

At first look, the tablet reminds you of Apple's configuration style, however look closer and you'll see a lot of contrasts that help the ZenBook Pro stand its ground. Asus has run with aluminum for the top and body, which loans the tablet a premium look. The top likewise elements Asus' mark 'spun-metal' completion which is available on all ZenBook models.  

Open the cover and you're welcomed by a flawless 15.6-inch UHD (2160x3840) IPS screen. There's no hostile to glare treatment so reflections can be an issue even at full splendor. The showcase additionally underpins 10-finger touch info for Windows 8 and 10. The hues are rich and there's no discernible roughness around content or symbols on account of the 282ppi pixel thickness. Survey edges are additionally great, which makes watching motion pictures in a gathering more pleasant because of a more extensive sweet spot. There's an elastic coating along the edge of presentation which closes the console range when the top is shut.   

   
The pivot is solid and conceals the fumes vents so the hot air doesn't make it uncomfortable to use on your lap. All ports are set on the two sides of the tablet. You get a sum of three USB 3.0 ports, an earphones and receiver combo jack, SD card opening, HDMI 1.4, Mini DisplayPort (MiniDP) 1.1a, and the charging port. Asus has affirmed that the tablet sold in India will have a Thunderbolt port rather than MiniDP and will transport with a Gigabit LAN connector. There's no entrance fold for swapping out the RAM because of the aluminum base so you'll need to unscrew the whole base to get to the parts. The two back elastic feet are bigger than the ones in the front, giving you an agreeable slope for writing.


You get a full-sized console alongside a numeric cushion. The chiclet keys are illuminated and have great separating. They're additionally OK with better than average travel and a firm material reaction. Sound is taken care of by Bang and Olufsen speakers on the base, confronting the sides. The extensive trackpad is glass-covered so finger following is smooth. The left and right mouse catches have great material reaction and don't require much push to utilize. The palm rest zone is open as well however the surface tends to get smears and fingerprints effectively. The LED status pointers for force, battery and hard plate action are put confronting the front.

Asus has made a splendid showing with the manufacture and complete of the ZenBook Pro UX501. Right from the UHD presentation to the chamfered edges on the body, the portable PC looks and feels like a premium gadget ought to. It weighs 2.2kg which is on the heavier side, so hauling it around power require some exertion.

Determinations and programming

The ZenBook Pro packs in a top of the line Intel Core i7-4720HQ CPU which keeps running at 2.2GHz and can turbo up to 3.6GHz. This quad-center CPU is the same one present in the HP Omen and MSI GT80 2QE Titan SLI that we investigated as of late.


There's an aggregate of 16GB DDR3 RAM and simply like the Asus A555LF, 8GB of it is bound locally available while the lay is on a solitary DIMM stick. The illustrations card is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M with 2GB of GDDR5 memory. For capacity, Asus has run with a 512GB PCIe SSD from Samsung. Different details incorporate a HD webcam, Wi-Fi b/g/n/air conditioning, Bluetooth 4.0 and a 96WHr 6-cell battery.

The retail unit of the tablet ought to accompany Windows 8.1 64-bit which is qualified for a free move up to Windows 10. Our survey unit accompanied Windows 10 as of now introduced. You likewise get an entire pack of Asus utilities including Live Update; Splendid utility for exchanging between diverse shading profiles; USB Charger Plus, which gives you a chance to charge USB gadgets when the portable PC is off; WebStorage, which is Asus' own distributed storage administration; and trial adaptations of McAfee LiveSafe security suite and Office 365.


Execution

General application execution and boot times are expedient on account of the quick SSD. Asus has set the showcase scaling to 250 percent which gives you a viable presentation determination of somewhat under 1920x1080. Windows benefits an occupation of scaling symbols and content which are local to the new working framework, yet a few applications that don't represent this are rendered at the local determination, which makes everything too little to see without squinting. EA's Origin amusement administrator, for occurrence, didn't agree to Windows' scaling. We saw a little defer in the movements when opening new windows or applications, which can be confused for slack however it's equitable Windows scaling up the determination. It's extremely inconspicuous and will probably go unnoticed by most

The palm rest territory runs exceptionally cool and doesn't warmth up even while gaming. One thing we did note was that the base, close to the pivot, gets hot before long thus does the base segment of showcase, where the Asus logo is. The console is agreeable to use with next to no weariness inching in, even after developed times of writing. You can likewise pick between three levels of key backdrop illumination. We don't have any objections with the trackpad either, which functions admirably and doesn't act as a burden while writing.


We got 42fps in Cinebench R15's OpenGL test and 584 focuses in the CPU test. POVRay finished with a follow time of 3 minutes 25 seconds, which is a decent number. The ZenBook Pro truly sparkles away subsystem read-compose tests, posting preferable numbers over more costly gaming portable workstations. In SiSoft SANDRA's physical circle module, we got a total drive pace of 1.4Gbps. The File System transfer speed test returned 1.4Gbps for consecutive read pace and 1.3Gbps for successive compose.

The UX501 isn't promoted as a gaming tablet however it can agreeably crunch pixels for a decent gaming background. Gaming at the local determination is a senseless thought since even top of the line desktops would battle to top off a 4K screen. Dropping the determination to 1080p makes recreations playable, without losing much on quality. This likewise gives you a chance to knock up the gorgeous sight for a superior visual ordeal. Tomb Raider gave back a solid normal casing rate of 49fps at the Ultra preset.


Crysis 3 was unplayable at 'High' settings so we needed to drop it to "High" to get sufficiently smooth casing rates. Indeed, even with FXAA and 16x AF at full-HD determination, we got a sound normal edge rate of 32fps. Gameplay gets somewhat rough amid the outside battle scenes in the dialing so as to open arrangement however that can be cured down a portion of the settings.

FarCry 4 was likewise pretty much playable at 1080p, with the quality set to 'Ultra', and SMAA and HBAO empowered. We oversaw 21.4fps by and large here, which is not perfect but rather we needed to see till what point we could push the equipment. Obviously, dropping the quality settings down an indent will give you a more playable edge rate.

The showcase scaling can bring about slight glitches while changing settings in-amusement, particularly the determination. We additionally ran over another impossible to miss programming glitch where a few recreations and benchmarks would neglect to recognize the Nvidia GPU and crash. We had this issue with Battlefield 4 and 3DMark Fire Strike. Indeed, even in the wake of upgrading the fundamental drivers, the issue still held on. We're trusting this is a disconnected episode with our survey unit.



The ZenBook Pro is awesome for sight and sound use. HD recordings, particularly full-HD and past, look dazzling because of the IPS board. Hues are rich and energetic and the review edges are great. The sound levels are modestly uproarious with great mids and highs.

Coming to battery life, we figured out how to get 3 hours 42 minutes in Battery Eater Pro which means approximately 5 hours of genuine use. Amid standard use, we figured out how to draw near to this figure with loads of Web scanning, utilizing Office records, and playing a touch of music.
