Asus to Release Zenbook NX500 Sleek Laptop with 4K Display

Asus Zenbook NX500

Asus is preparing a new notebook series, the Zenbook NX500, which is a crossover between the Zenbook ultrabook-class thin-and-light laptops and Asus’ N-series multimedia-oriented machines.

As the main stand-out feature, the 15.6-inch Asus NX500 has an ultra-high definition 4K display, presumably with a 3840-by-2160 pixel count. Besides extremely sharp picture, the notebook sports a sound system developed in cooperation with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower.

Design is a premium-class, too. The NX500 sports an aluminum unibody chassis, which appears to be very slim and resembles the MacBook Pro look to some extent.

Details on internal components are unknown, but it will very likely feature some of the Intel “Haswell” Core processors. Since there are Zenbook and N-series Asus laptops with dedicated video cards built-in, we hope the NX500 will have a dedicated GPU option as well in order to manage the 4K display well and provide some gaming potential.

Pricing and availability dates are unknown at the time of this writing.
