Category:
A laptop, also known as a notebook, is a portable computer. When you are looking for the right laptop, it is important to know where you are going to work with it. Do you want to use it on the road? Choose a model with a special energy-saving 'mobile' processor, a good battery and a reasonably small display. This will allow you to work longer with the same battery and saves you the trouble of carrying around a large display that consumes a lot of precious battery power. Or will you be using you laptop mainly in places where you will have access to a power outlet? Then choose a desktop processor (more processing power for less money) and an ordinary battery. This will save you a lot of money, which you could then spend on a bigger screen. You'll work faster because you can view more information at once and it's great for multimedia!

The Art of Power
The stunningly-beautiful ZenBook Pro UX501 doesn’t just lead its class - it redefines it. Using the best materials, the finest craftsmanship and the most advanced high-performance components, ZenBook Pro has jaw-dropping style and breathtaking performance. The timelessly-elegant design of the ZenBook family, with the iconic spun-metal finish echoing the spirit of Zen, is subtly enhanced with brilliant diamond-cut highlights and brushed-metal surfaces that add a touch of sophistication. The elegant theme is continued in the stylish ripple-effect pattern laser-engraved on its surface. ZenBook Pro is more than an incredibly-powerful laptop - it’s a true work of art.

Extremely Fine Pixels Looks So Fine
With an astonishing resolution of 3840 by 2160 pixels - that’s four times more than Full HD - the state-of-the-art 4K/UHD VisualMaster display on ZenBook Pro is something you’ll never tired of looking at. We’ve engineered 282 pixels into every single inch of the screen to make sure that everything is pin-sharp, from the finest details in photos and videos to the to the tiniest text.

More colors.
Better colors.
Full-bodied 100% sRGB display make better artworks

The ASUS VisualMaster display on ZenBook Pro features an ultra-wide color gamut of 72% NTSC, 100% sRGB and 74% Adobe RGB. In plain language, this means it can display more colors, more accurate colors and more vivid colors than any standard display. IPS technology ensures that contrast and color reproduction are not degraded at wide viewing angles up to 178 degrees, and with factory-calibrated color temperature for consistent color. ZenBook Pro sets a new standard for laptop displays.

All-Powerful
The best performance in class

The ‘Pro' in ZenBook Pro isn't just an empty promise. Every single component — without exception — is chosen to deliver outstanding performance. A high-performance Intel® Core™ i7 processor, teamed with 16GB of RAM and gaming-grade NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX™ 960M graphics provide desktop-level performance, and the ultra-fast up to 512GB PCIe® x4 SSD storage with its transfer speeds of 1400MB/s ensures maximum responsiveness. The latest dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 let you can connect to the outside world at the fastest possible speeds, and three SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports plus HDMI, mini DisplayPort and optional Thunderbolt™ connectivity give you access to the latest high-performance peripherals. Professionals deserve nothing less.

Breathtaking Performance
Four brains think faster than one

At the heart of ZenBook Pro is the incredibly powerful quad-core Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ processor, giving effortless performance for any task you can think of. With a massive 16GB of RAM, ZenBook Pro gives you super-smooth multitasking and plenty of processing horsepower in reserve for even the most intensive number-crunching tasks. ZenBook Pro will never run out of steam, whether you’re manipulating multiple large office documents like spreadsheets and graphics-loaded presentations, watching 4K videos, rendering complex 3D graphics or simply relaxing with the latest and most resource-hungry 3D games.

Ultimate Graphics for Exclusive Experience
A display as superb as that on ZenBook Pro deserves only the most powerful graphics, so we chose the amazing NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX™ 960M for its gaming-grade performance. With up to 4GB of fast GDDR5 video RAM, you’ll enjoy silky-smooth 4K/UHD video playback, effortless 3D rendering, and immersive gaming with ultra-high frame-rates.

The World’s Fastest SSD
Ultimate speed designed for professionals

A high-performance solid-state disk (SSD) with a PCIe® x4 interface gives ZenBook Pro the fastest storage available - its read/write speeds of up to 1400 MB/s are twice as fast as competing PCIe® x2 models - so you’ll never be kept waiting for the operating system to boot or for applications to load. Data transfers are not only blindingly-fast, but are reliable and totally silent, making ZenBook Pro a real joy to use.

Next-Generation Wi-Fi
ZenBook Pro includes next-generation dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, with speeds of up to 867Mbit/s - three times as fast as previous-generation 802.11n. With twice the coverage, you can work or play anywhere, anytime. And what’s more, it works perfectly with all your existing wireless devices.

6+ Hours of Computing Satisfaction
Web, video, work or anything you enjoy

With ZenBook Pro’s high-capacity 96Wh lithium-polymer battery and clever ASUS thermal engineering gives you up to six hours battery life even with its high-resolution 4K/UHD display - which is pretty impressive when you consider the amazing performance. ZenBook Pro is designed to be the perfect traveling companion: it turns on in an instant so it’s always ready to go, and it lasts for up to two weeks in standby mode. Your data is always safe too, as ZenBook Pro automatically saves it to the hard disk if the battery charge level drops below 5%.

Connect Faster
USB 3 ports get all connected and powered

All three USB ports on ZenBook Pro are SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports. With up to ten-times faster data transfers than USB 2.0, you can open even the largest files in a fraction of the time. USB 3.0 also has more power for charging mobile devices, and is fully compatible with all your existing USB devices. And with the exclusive ASUS USB Charger+ technology, mobile devices charge quicker - even when ZenBook Pro is powered off.

SonicMaster Premium : Truly Incredible Sound
ZenBook Pro features SonicMaster Premium, incorporating ICEpower®, Bang & Olufsen technology, developed by the ASUS Golden Ear audio engineering team for the ultimate audio experience. SonicMaster Premium produces sound that’s best-in-class and unlike anything you’ve ever heard from a laptop, with deep rich bass and crystal-clear vocals, even at high volume levels.

The Power of Touch
The smarter touchpad

Featuring the same 16:9 aspect ratio as the VisualMaster display, the large glass-coated multi-touch touchpad on ZenBook Pro is designed to be as intuitive and accurate as possible. Smart Gestures simulate many of Windows 8.1’s touchscreen functions on the touchpad, such as the right-edge swipe that shows the Charms bar. Smart Gestures also work in a wide range of applications.

Your ZenBook Pro, Your Cloud
ASUS cloud services are an integral part of ZenBook Pro, giving you a complete platform for online living and working, and accessible anywhere from a multitude of devices. Each ZenBook Pro includes a 16GB ASUS WebStorage account, which is completely free for one year. With WebStorage, your personal stuff is always with you on any internet-connected device. Your files are synchronized between all your devices, so you always have instant access to the latest versions. Sharing files is simple, too, whether via email, instant messaging or your favorite social network. It’s how the cloud was meant to be.
