The French-language site for Asus has started showing a product page for the ZenBook 15 UX534FA-A8038T laptop computer. The slimline device features the company's innovative ScreenPad input device, and according to the listing it will come with a processor from Intel's Comet Lake-U series of chips, in the form of the 10th Gen i7-10510U.

Intel integrated GPU must be a joke for this combo at this price.
Wait a minute... the ZenBook series used to come with NVIDIA MX150/MX250. Smells like a massive downgrade.
Ice Lake chips would've at least had the upgraded Intel iGPU, but this Comet Lake is joke. 15" laptop with an old UHD 620 is unacceptable.
...sports the ScreenPad 2.0 input device that brings the DISadvantages of a secondary display to the laptop, like subpar functionality compared to the regular track pad, the rumored over-heating problems and the wasteful battery drain.
Release it with a regular track pad Asus and I'm probably interested in it. Well assuming you also ditch the proprietary charging and switch to USB-C charging, and ditch the GPU. Too weak to be really useful and just adds weight and cost to an otherwise decent laptop.
But hey, this is classic Asus. Lets add checkbox items instead of focusing on a best price/use strategy for our customers.
I leave this message here in the hope that Asus employee responsible for the display selection will see it and act in a hopefully helpful manner: Please, make a model with a non reflective display. Some of us are actually working more than 10 hours on the damn machine and we'd like to avoid the oculist for as long as possible. Many thanks.
