For the previous couple of years, Asus has been constructing OLED into virtually each machine in its productiveness lineup. This yr, it is beginning to add glasses-free 3D.
Two machines, the ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED and the Asus Vivobook Professional 16X 3D OLED. will every include a 16-inch, 16:10 display screen with a 3200 x 2000 decision at 120 Hz. Every can go right into a “Spatial Imaginative and prescient” mode, which splits that decision between your eyes.
I had an opportunity to strive the display screen on a Studiobook forward of CES, and it does work. I may manipulate 3D objects, like a mannequin of a dinosaur, and watch 3D film trailers. I may, nonetheless, sense myself getting a bit headachey (we have had that challenge with these kind of screens earlier than), so hopefully the ultimate model is a bit smoother. I may see this probably serving to some professionals who work with 3D fashions for use in 3D areas, however this may even imply that the software program they use might want to assist this type of show.
If you’re not utilizing Spatial Imaginative and prescient, you possibly can flip it off, returning to a standard, excessive decision OLED display screen.
Each the Zenbook and Vivobook will use next-gen Intel Core HX collection CPUs and Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs. For the Studiobook, Asus is promising 150W of mixed CPU and GPU efficiency, in addition to as much as 64GB of RAM and as much as 8TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. The Studiobook has a in-built dial to be used in some inventive apps, whereas the Vivobook, with as much as 64GB of RAM and as much as 2TB of storage, has a extra fundamental construct with a touch-based dial on the trackpad.
A separate Vivobok Professional 16X OLED could have both the three.2K 120 Hz OLED display screen or a 2.6K, 165 Hz show, however with out the 3D impact.
There are additionally 4 new members of the Zenbook household. The Zenbook 14 Flip OLED, Zenbook 14X OLED, Zenbook 14 Professional OLED and Zenbook Professional 16X OLED.
The Flips are 3.3-pounds convertible 2-in-1s utilizing next-gen Intel Core P-series CPUs, with as much as 16GB of LPDDR5-4800 reminiscence and as much as 1TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage. The display screen is a 14-inch, 2.8K 90 Hz OLED panel with TruBlack 500 licensed HDR.
If you happen to want one thing with some fundamental graphics may, the Zenbook 14X OLED will mix next-gen H-series Core CPUs with as much as an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 laptop computer graphics card. It is going to go as much as 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM and as much as 1TB of storage, and blend two Thunderbolt 4 ports with USB Kind-A 3.2 Gen 2 and HDMI 2.1. It has a 14.5-inch, 2880 x 1800 16:10 OLED touchscreen working at 120 Hz.
The Zenbook Professional 14 OLED makes use of an H-series Intel CPU and next-gen RTX laptop computer GPU utilizing Nvidia Studio drivers, in addition to a MUX swap to swap between built-in and discrete graphics. It is going to go as much as 16GB of DDR5 with room to improve to 32GB, in addition to as much as 2TB of SSD storage. Asus stays its cooling will permit as much as a 105-watt TDP on this method. The display screen has the identical specs on the 14 OLED.
The 16X OLED seems to be what a Zenbook Duo could be if there have been no second display screen. The keyboard nonetheless lifts as much as permit extra airflow, however there’s simply the one, 16-inch 3.2K, 120 Hz OLED panel.
Below the hood, issues get extra difficult. There is a next-gen Intel CPU (Asus did not disclose which however it’s most likely one of many new thirteenth gen cell chips) with a “system on a module” design, placing the RAM on the CPU package deal. That shall be paired with an unnamed Nvidia GeForce RTX laptop computer GPU. The system could have as much as a 155W TDP, with cooling from a curved vapor chamber and liquid steel TIM. This mannequin could have as much as 32GB LPDDR5 RAM and as much as 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, together with the Asus Dial, six audio system and an FHD webcam.
Asus TUF Gaming
Asus can also be saying the brand new TUF vary, which is more likely to finest hit the worth/efficiency candy spot. The latest mannequin is the TUF Gaming A16 Benefit Version, which can pair a next-gen Ryzen 9 CPU with Radeon RDNA 3 graphics for a max TGP of 120 W. It is going to use DDR5 RAM and PCIe Gen 4 SSDs (precise specs aren’t but out there), in addition to a 16-inch show with a 16:10 side ratio as much as QHD 240 Hz.
Picture 1 of 2
The opposite TUF Gaming laptops are the F15 and F17 (Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs) and A15 and A17 (AMD CPUs and Nvidia GPUs). Each will go as much as 140W max TGP and have as much as QHD 240 Hz shows. The largest distinction exterior of the CPU vendor is that the Intel model will use Thunderbolt 4 and the AMD choice will use USB-4.
Asus instructed Tom’s {Hardware} that pricing and extra detailed specs for all of its laptops will come nearer to their launches all through Q1 and Q2 of this yr.
