Title: The ZenBook 14 UX425 turns up on the pages of Australian retailers
Post by: Redaktion on June 08, 2020, 23:35:01
The UX425 is a version of the ZenBook 14 touted to come with either Ryzen 4000 or Intel Core i7-1065G7 processors. The latter variant has just appeared as a listing on Scorptec and Mwave, online stores that operate in the Australian market. They both affirm that this Asus PC has 16GB of RAM and 2 Thunderbolt 3 type C ports.

Without headphone jack, Asus can go throw that s*** in the trash bin already.

It will come with a usb-c -> 3.5mm adapter.
Besides tws headphones are quite popular theses days.
You don't need dongles for hdmi and usb-a at least, as many other thin & light notebooks.

I've seen these materials for more than 2 weeks now but nevermind...
I agree with kek - a 3,5mm audio jack on a laptop is an absolute must and a "you can use a dongle" is not an excuse to cripple basic I/O. I was looking forward to seeing new Zenbooks but when I first noticed this, this is a deal breaker for me. Will go for the new Vivobook instead as my travel laptop.

Ik dont really mind the pack of a 3.5mm headphoje jack
I rarely use IT anyway.

Needless to say, that's a big battery for a 14 inch machine! 67wh! My Asus Zenbook pro with a 45W CPU and a GTX1050 uses a 71wh battery.
Looking forward to the AMD model.

Confirmed, ASUS is the new Apple now

RIP, I won't and never buy anything from them again
