Nagmani International, the authorized distributor of ASUS products in Nepal, organized an event to announce the arrival of the new Zenbook series Ultrabooks in Nepal. Alongside the Flip 13, the three ultrabooks presented at the event were – ZenBook 14 (UX435EG), Zenbook 13 (UX325), and Zenbook 14 (UX425). Let's take a look at the specs, features, price, and availability of the latest Asus ZenBook Ultrabooks powered by Intel 11th Gen processors in Nepal.

Asus ZenBook 14 (UX435EG) Overview:

Design and Display

Here, Asus ZenBook 14 (UX435EG) is just 16.9mm thick and weighs just 1.19kg. It has the iconic ZenBook spun-metal finish and is available in two colors – Pine Grey and Lilac Mist. This laptop comes also has the Ergolift hinge that slightly raises the display for better typing angle and improved cooling. It features a 14.0-inch IPS LCD panel. The four-sided NanoEdge design has resulted in a 92% screen to body ratio. The FHD panel has a 16:9 aspect ratio and the viewing angle here is 178-degree. It covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut so color accuracy is not going to a problem.

ScreenPad 2.0

The highlight of this device is that it features a secondary 5.65-inch touchscreen in the form of Screenpad 2.0. It is a small interface where your usual touchpad is located. Powered by the new ScreenXpert software, the Screenpad lets uses manage tasks and facilitate seamless multitasking. It provides a collection of Asus utility tools. Then there are other features like Quick Key (automation of keyboard sequence) and Handwriting. You can even launch video, chatbox, music player, and other compatible third-party apps onto the ScreenPad for better utilization of the available space. As expected, it can also double as a standard glass-covered precision touchpad. As a touchpad, it supports four-finger smart gestures and intelligent palm rejection.
