Perfect OLED contrast combined with excellent brightness and a 100 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut means everything looks gloriously crisp and vivid with accurate colours. In non-technical terms, it’s simply a stunning screen. The 2.8K 16:10 OLED screen is a 10-bit panel with 550 nits of peak brightness and a 90Hz refresh rate. At 1.39 kg, it weighs about par for the category and it feels good in the hand (yes, the lid opens with one hand). If I had a choice, I’d get the pale green-ish “Aqua Celadon” colour that is the alternative. The dark “Ponder Blue” colour I have shows up smudges very easily though, and it’s not long before you’re itching to wipe it down with a cloth. The design is handsome and distinctive, with the matte finished lid featuring contrast lines slashing across the surface, and the Asus Zenbook branding in barely visible text in a corner. The body of the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED is made out of aluminium alloy and feels quite premium.
Asus has pulled out all stops when it comes to hardware. The publicity material accompanying the Asus Zenbook 14 OLED describes it as the “crown jewel” of Asus’s laptop lineup and it’s easy to see why. Apart from the chipsets, the configurations are virtually identical with both models sporting 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD, and the name-worthy OLED screen. The one that I have with me, running the Core i7-1260P, sells for Rs 1,04,990. The base configuration costs Rs 89,990 and comes with the Core i5-1240P. I must mention that the original review unit that I received was defective, with some battery and thermal issues, but the replacement unit I received worked flawlessly.Īsus has launched a number of laptops with 12th generation Intel chips but this particular model, the Zenbook 14 OLED, comes only in two configurations.

Apple and others will sell adapters, so you should be covered if you still have one of those old iPod Classic’s laying around. The latest version of USB will work with older USB cables, but you’ll need an adapter for it all to work. So, you can now not only charge up a mobile device by plugging it into a laptop, you could also charge up a laptop by connecting it to the wall-or even another device.
Unlike previous iterations of USB, Type-C is bidirectional, which means it can send power both ways. You don’t have to worry about it being upside down, as has been the case with all USB cables so far. Like Apple’s Lightning cables, USB Type-C ports and cables are the same on both sides, which means however you plug it in, it’s right. USB Type-C on the new MacBook will be able to transfer data, charge devices and act as a video-out port, to hook the laptop up to external displays. The new MacBook will be available in three colors: silver, gold and space grey.
