ASUS has announced the launch of its first premium Windows 10 laptop with its flagship ZenBook UX305LA in India. The Ultrabook will be powered by a full range of high-performance Intel processors – Core M, Core i5, and Core i7 and will be available in multiple color options like black, white, and gold.
The UX305LA is the next generation of the Zenbook UX305 launched earlier this year, which my friend Richard Devine described as 'A gorgeous Windows 8.1 Ultrabook at an excellent price' in his review here at Windows Central.
The ultraportable laptop has been currently launched with Intel Core i7 processor, and the Core i5 version of the same will be launched by the end of this quarter. With 8GB RAM and the latest 5th-generation i7 processor, ZenBook UX305LA would easily breeze through any task. At just 12.3mm, the UX305LA is the world's slimmest 13.3-inch QHD ultraportable laptop. The advanced ASUS thermal management design removes the need for cooling fans, so UX305LA is fast yet completely silent and remains cool at all times. There's also the ASUS IceCool technology that ensures that the palm-rest area remains below body temperature at all times for maximum user comfort.
Peter Chang, Regional Head of South Asia and Managing Director for Asus India said
"The UX305LA is a perfect balance of great looks and functionality which delivers a powerful performance with the Windows 10 combination. The Indian consumers are increasingly moving towards ultraportable products and the featherweight ZenBook UX305LA is a real performer that redefines this segment with its svelte design. It is one of the most affordable products in this category, and we truly believe that it deserves a top spot in the festive shopping list of the Indian consumers."
