The Ultimate ZenBook? Sporting nearly identical specifications to the recently-reviewed G501JW, the UX501JW—with a 4K LCD display, discrete graphics, and quad-core CPU—targets an audience who may in fact be a better fit for its choices. Is this truly the ultimate ZenBook?

Thank you for this detailed review.

I recently bought a FullHD mate screen version : UX501JW CN209H. The lower resolution does improve battery runtimes and I am really happy with it.
It is only a pitty that it is not shipped with an intel wireless chiset (Atheros AR946X instead). It does the job but does not support the latest standarts and intel Widi.

I do not remember which site I read it on, but the 100% sRGB coverage is only possible while plugged in for some weird reason. As it is, you are better off with a HP Pro model or a MacBook Pro if you are interested in picture quality while on the go.

I am confused why this computer costs $1,200 less than asus's other laptop.

These notebooks seem very very similar,  why does one cost $1,200 more??

Is 1080p touchscreen matte or glossy? Look at this link and please tell me what battery it is, 96w or the other:

  And is this version's storage upgradeable?

Any chance you could provide the .icc file for the May 29th Update? The listed one seems to be dated 5/1

@Snuffy

I believe the discrepancy is due to the NX500 being the "older" model.  I know when I was looking at top of the line Zenbooks a few months ago, that was the cheapest one (i.e. besides the 300 series etc.).

A quick check of Amazon seems to back this up:

What a different 6 months makes!

Quantum dot tech. Improves NTSC gamut and minimizes blacklight bleeding and takes the cost north of the other model.
